"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.

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.

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

Love, love, love this place!! Definitely my favorite restaurant in St. Augie. The service and ambiance are spot on and the food….THE FOOD!!!! Get ready for a flavor explosion! If you decide to eat here, make sure you order some of the appetizers- they are amazing. There are certain items on the appetizer menu as well as the main menu that have to be ordered ahead of time, so keep that in mind when booking your reservation. I would highly recommendation the charcuterie board. This place makes all of their sauces and condiments- even the mustard! I have never had anything from this menu that I didn’t like. If you happen to come for Sunday brunch and the wings are on the menu, order up and be prepared to have some very happy taste buds. The street corn is also a Sunday brunch appetizer item and will be one of the best things you have ever put in your mouth. Just do yourself a favor and book a reservation right now- you will not regret it! P.S. If you are a bourbon connoisseur, get ready to shed a tear of happiness. Be sure to ask for the Bourbon reserve menu.

Our 2nd experience at Asado Life was as amazing as our 1st. The weather didn’t cooperate as we hoped but still had an incredible meal to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Tomahawk Ribeye Steak, grilled vegetables, after a tasty focaccia appetizer and beet/goat cheese salad. Good & service was great. Highly recommend this unique and fun restaurant experience.

Outstanding food & drinks! Great location but they don’t use heaters outside anymore so it was a bit chilly by the water, although the outdoor ambiance is nice.
