  • 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.

    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.

    What a wonderful experience! The staff was one of the most attentive and polite crew I’ve seen in a long time. The food was delicious and not like anything else you’ll find in town. Caroline was a great server and took great care of us! I can’t wait to go back!!

    The food is excellent and the portions are huge. Two people cant finish one Lena's Cuban, so don't let the prices scare you away. The craft cocktails alone are worth going. Creative use of ingredients like smoked pineapple juice and others. The service is excellent and the waterfront ambiance is awesome. Love it!

    Food was great but service was extremely slow. Had a reservation for 7 pm and were not seated until about 7:15. Ordered drinks and did not receive them until about 7:50. The food taking a while was understandable but getting our drinks was incredible slow for both orders we put in.

    What a diverse and delicious menu! I love the location, buzz and creative menu. The buzz was exciting but for anyone over forty the high ceilings and hard surfaces (chairs!) were challenging to have a good conversation. I knew that would be the case, having eaten there with previous owners, but the menu surprised and delighted me so it made up for it!

    Food and ambiance were incredible! Hostess seems to be inexperienced and had to be pressured to honor our open table reservation. It caused us some anxiety because she almost forced us to sit out side in the cold when we had reservations for a party of five inside. We were not dressed for that and she didn’t care. The waitress was sweet but our food took quite a long time. So we asked for our bread twice and she said we could not have any until our food came out. That was disappointing.

    Everything was fabulous! We had a reservation, but arrived early. They seated us promptly. Our waitress was attentive and answered all of our questions about drinks and entrees. My husband and I ordered the soup, house salad, bread, steak and shrimp. Everything was delicious. Drinks also did not disappoint. We had several old fashions and gin drinks. What we loved the most was that the menu was not your basic boring menu. A top notch restaurant that will surpass your expectations!

    Made a reservation for their new expanded Sunday hours for a party of 4. Arrived 12 minutes early and was told we had to wait because they were short staffed. Then a group of 4 walk in without a reservation and they were immediately seated. We were finally seated outside but outside of the plastic. It was a cool evening. We all got bit up by the noseeums (not sure of spelling). Placed our orders only to have the waitress come back and say they are out of the muffuletta. Would have been good to know before picking our food. The final straw was getting fries, waiting for the waitress again to get ketchup. Only to be told they are out of ketchup. Seriously, how does a great restaurant like this now be understaffed, out of food items and condiments? Someone is not doing their job.
