"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.

I will preface that this review is specifically about the "Asador Club" experience. DIS.A.POINT.ED. BIRTH.DAY. Each syllable represents $100. Yep. $600 prepaid for what we were told was the LAST time they would be doing this, and from what we experienced, we are NOT surprised. They could've went out with a bang, but this was barely a fizzle. They made sure this would be the last one. We've been here for other meals and had great food and great service. Based on those previous visits, we had high expectations for the Asador Club. Unfortunately, it left us flat. We felt like an afterthought throughout the evening. Our server Summer was just okay. She wasn't horrible, but she wasn't great. Since it was already prepaid including tip, her effort reflected that. She had nothing to gain and she certainly had nothing to lose. She never asked if we wanted more drinks. I don't know if she was too busy with other tables or just indifferent overall. While it is a pre-fixed menu, the description also stated guests are welcome to enjoy more of their favorite items while they last. That was not made an option at all. It's misleading because they provide you with one serving of everything and there is no "while they last." At least not tonight. And I suspect being their last time, that is why. We started with a ceviche sample, then a focaccia sample (which was great btw), then a family style salad - also very good. Each person was then provided maybe 3 oz of snapper, 1 small chicken thigh, and maybe 5 oz of picanha. The picanha effort was the worst of what we were served. My jaw is still sore from all the chewing. The plate with the proteins also had some potatoes, carrots, and broccoli. As it was a cooler evening, everything arrived cold. This could easily be remedied by serving on a cast iron (think fajitas). The meal finished with a slice of key lime pie. We all agreed that it was a total rip off. If you dine here, stick with the menu.

Had the Asado burger and fries and also the mushroom burger. Wonderful blend of flavors and smoky taste. Had a hard time choosing from a wide variety on menu. Danielle's service was terrific and friendly. Would definitely go back for more. We experienced a late lunch vibe. Would want to try the night-time dinner atmosphere.

We have been here 3 times in the last week and a half so that should tell you how good it is. The service and food are both amazing. We’ve been for early lunch on Sunday and late lunches twice. Everything we’ve ordered has been so delicious and the cookies from the marketplace are amazing as well! This will be a weekly lunch for us and look forward to bringing friends here.

Cocktails were good and Focaccia may have been the best I've had. Ordered the tomahawk and Prime Rib. The presentation looked beautiful, but the food quality left a lot to be desired. The beef tasted like grass fed or choice meat at best. It was tough, which is difficult for a Ribeye. The Prime rib was cooked appropriately but the Tomahawk was overcooked through 80% of the steak. The steaks had no flavor and were woefully under seasoned. Even the Ajus had very little flavor. They also ran out of Ceviche which was a staple menu item. Our Server was either over seated or just poor at his craft. He never went over chef specials and was reluctant to highlight anything on the menu. We struggled to get drink refills and the entire dinner service for a party of 4 took 3+ hours. At that point we didn't even order a dessert. Very disappointed with our visit. We had such high hopes. The ambiance on the water and the concept of the wood fired steaks seemed like a winner.
