"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.

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.

Avoid This Place – Unprofessional and Hostile Service Believe the 1-star reviews—this restaurant is not great- especially for large groups. I made a reservation weeks in advance for my family the night before my wedding, informed the manager about our increased party size and ADA needs, and was assured everything would be handled. Instead, we were met with chaos, understaffing, and outright hostility. Despite arriving 40 minutes early to help the staff prepare, the service was shockingly unprofessional. A staff member—large, with a ponytail—screamed at me in front of my family (this was the day before my wedding). No apology was given, just an atmosphere of aggression and disregard. I was incredibly embarrassed to have my relatives treated this way and I did not enjoy the meal. If you expect professionalism, kindness, or even basic hospitality, look elsewhere. Absolutely do not bring a large party here—you’ll regret it. I also posted this same review on Google and the manager’s response was not an apology but he proceeded to lie about the entire situation which was a deflection of responsibility and blamed me for the entire situation. Please, take your money elsewhere if you want an enjoyable, hospitable dining experience.

The food was OK. As someone who was born in Argentina, did not think meat was all that good nor cooked we’ll.
