About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions

"The true essence of an Asado engages family & friends long before the food hits the table."

ASADO LIFE is a full-service, experience-driven waterfront restaurant. Nestled along the picturesque San Sebastián River, Asado Life offers a dining experience like no other. Whether you're enjoying a romantic dinner or a lively gathering with friends, the serene backdrop of the river enhances the ambiance of our restaurant. At Asado Life, we believe in the art of live fire grilling—a method that infuses every dish with unparalleled flavor and aroma. Our chefs skillfully harness the power of open flames to create mouthwatering grilled specialties.

Our Asados are rain or shine occasions. We have covered dining areas in the event of rain. Please dress to your comfort level for outdoor dining.

We do not allow outside wine or beverages.

Each course corresponds with a taste of wine, with a guest presenter sharing stories and insights from the winery. Guests will be greeted with a charcuterie board and welcome drink. This will be followed by a Caesar salad, a choice of chef’s cut filet or bronzino entrée, and a chef’s choice dessert. Guests will be greeted with a charcuterie board and welcome drink.

To maintain our live-fire cooking style and preserve the authenticity of the Asado experience, we offer our signature entrees for preordering. These meals are prepared hours in advance and cooked low and slow in order to achieve the smoky, rich, bold flavors that develop over a longer grilling time. We do not accept cancellations or changes within 48 hours of the scheduled Asado. Cancellations will be refunded less processing fees. Our Asados are rain or shine events. We have ample covered dining areas, and limited indoor seating. Please dress to your comfort level for outdoor dining.

Asado Life truly knows how to create a memorable Sunday experience! The food, even without the grills outside, was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing rich flavors and high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect backdrop for a leisurely Sunday dinner. What really stood out were their drinks; the cocktail selection was impressive, featuring unique blends that complemented the meal beautifully. Whether you opted for a refreshing cocktail or a perfectly paired wine, each sip elevated the dining experience. The appetizers were also a highlight, with a variety of options that catered to different tastes. From savory bites to creative small plates, they set the stage for the main course perfectly. The combination of delicious food, exceptional drinks, and a vibrant atmosphere makes Asado Life a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a delightful Sunday afternoon!

Overall was a nice special event. A couple of downers. First there were flies buzzing around in the room and gathering in the windows - a food safety concern? Second the desert was horrible , all 12 people in the event thought the desert was subpar or horrible. To spend $300 on a dinner event and end it with that dessert was disappointment

Great experience. Service was great and everything from the appetizers to the main coarse was excellent. Homemade bread and sweet potato ravioli was amazing and the sea bass and steak frites was the same. Intrigued by the pre order menu so can’t wait to go back for the Bronzino. Prices were high but definitely worth it. Atmosphere was equals great as the food.

There was a very loud wedding, literally 3 feet from our table. I sent my over cooked steak back and the one they remade was even more over cooked. We felt rushed and service was not good
