"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.

We went to Asado Life for the first time for a wine dinner. It wasn’t easy to find but worth the hunt. The food was fantastic. We were in the private dining room which was very comfortable and with glass windows so you can see outside or into the restaurant. There is plenty of seating outdoors which overlooks the intercoastal waterway. We’ll sit out there next time because we will definitely be back.

Great food and great atmosphere. They need to order more high chairs for families. We always have to wait 15-20 minutes for 1 of the 2 high chairs in the whole restaurant.

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.
