Asado Life

Absolutely loved this place. Went with a large group of 10. The outdoor area was great for accommodating our group and the staff was very attentive as well. And the views right around sunset were great. Drinks were very good and food was even better. Didn’t get pictures of any of the appetizers, but we had multiple throughout the table. The provoleta cheese plate was so good, as well as the focaccia bread. For entree, you can’t go wrong with the Asado Trio. All three meats were absolutely delicious. The only thing I can complain about is that parking was a challenge, because there doesn’t seem to be enough spaces when they’re busy. Other than that, looking forward to going back.

Wonderful food! Perfectly seasoned and so tasty. A bit pricy, but enjoyed every minute of it. Super friendly staff. Nate was a great server. It did take a little long to get the food out. We were there for over three hours. On the water with beautiful views. Parking lot is a bit small.

This has become our favorite St Augustine restaurant. The staff are always friendly and professional. The food is amazing. We try something new almost every time. I love the trio and the chicken thighs are amazing. Definitely will be back many more times. We can’t wait for the one in Jax to open.

Fabulous food. We had the surf and turf. The large steak (enough for 5 people and cooked perfectly). And the lobster gnocchi. Everything was amazing and well worth the 45 minute drive from Jacksonville. The staff was amazing and the atmosphere just superb. We will be back. Recommend making a reservation.

What an incredible location this is! The vibrant and inviting atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to unwind. The food and drinks are outstanding; each dish is thoughtfully prepared using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff is friendly and attentive. They are always ready to offer recommendations and ensure everyone feels welcomed and well cared for. The scenery is stunning, whether you're dining indoors or on a patio. Overall, it's a remarkable food destination.

We had 5 people for a birthday celebration at Asado Life St. Augustine. To start off, we were told our reservation was for 30 minutes later than what we had made it for. No big deal right, the restaurant was empty because they had just opened but we happily waited and got drinks at the bar. We had the “seacuterie” and the focaccia bread which was good. I ordered the chef’s choice cut which was an 8oz filet and I ordered it medium rare. When my filet was brought out, my first cut was all grey, I would describe it as a well done. The cut of steak did look nice, but my steak was just too cooked unfortunately. I showed our server and said I think it is a little over done, and I asked if she agreed. She said “I don’t know, I don’t know steak temperatures but they cook it to a temp” (this is basically a steak house…there isn’t much else on the menu, why is staff not trained on temps?) My replacement steak was very unfortunate, the cut looked awful and I don’t think it was even 8 ounces. I took a few bites and just took the rest to go as my second steak arrived when the rest of my party was finishing their meal. Overall, this restaurant did not seem to be worth the money. At Outback I am not complaining about a poorly cooked steak but when Asado Life is charging $59 - I would expect it to be done right and not be an ugly cut. I shouldn’t have been punished for their error. I would definitely recommend you find other options for dinner in St. Augustine.

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and I must say, we were not disappointed. Service was flawless, and you couldn't beat the view with the waterfront seating. The staff were quick to adjust the umbrellas when the sun began to set and was hitting my husband in the face. Now the food, hands down that is one of the best meals we have ever had. My husband had the tomahawk, I had the brongino thanks to the recommendation of our waiter. We didn't want the meal to end. The flavors were impeccable . We ended the night sharing a piece of key lime pie and that was the icing on the cake. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!

A friend recommended that we treat this place and she did not steer us wrong. We started with a holiday Gingerbread Old Fashion... OMG so tasty! We did a a charcuterie board and the Antz on a Log, which was roasted home marrow with escargot. Simply delicious! For our entrees, I had the delicious Lobster Gnocchi and hubby had the short ribs which he raved about. We ended the evening with a bourbon flambé s'mores based dessert.. ah-mazing! I didn't have food pictures as we were just enjoying the evening. We did sit inside but they have plenty of seating outside as well and have heaters for when it turns cooler.

I visited Asado life for the first time on a Saturday evening. We arrived with no reservations and were promptly seated. Fortunately the only availability was outside, and the views on their patio are beautiful. The outside seating is close to the water which gives patrons a pretty view. We started with the ceviche which was served with plantain chips, it was a delicious and light appetizer. Next I had the hurricane drink which was rum based. It was very strong which to me is good value! For entrees we had the asado trio which had chorizo and steak in it. I would say their specialty here is the steak as it was really good and had that nice grill flavor. I personally had the cioppino which incorporated clams, red shrimps, and fish. It was a hearty stew like dish with a tiny bit of spice. It was served with a large cut of grilled bread that was perfect for soaking up the sauce in the stew. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, next time I visit I plan to have a reservation so that I can try some other entrees. I would say half of their entrees require a reservation as the restaurant needs advance notice to prepare some of those dishes. Despite that I thoroughly enjoyed this dinner and cannot wait to go back.

I had been wanting to visit Asado Life for awhile, so when I booked a weekend in St Aug this was our first stop for dinner! Loved that on Sundays they serve a special lunch menu all day so prices were quite reasonable, like entrees about $20! Craft beers for $4! What!? Awesome! We got the asado trio, which highlights their grilled meats: steak, chicken and house made sausage served with potato salad and a house salad, excellent! All were good, loved the grilled chicken thigh. Also tried the fried stuffed poblano pepper, with steak, rice and beans. Flavor explosion and that cheese stuffed pepper might have been my favorite bite of the weekend! Service was great, restaurant beautiful! Right on the water!

This is hands down one of my favorite hidden gems in St. Augustine! Asado Life deserves way more recognition than it gets. The food is consistently top-notch--flavorful, fresh, and made with obvious care. While we always go for the steak (it's hard not to!), everything we've tried has been amazing--from handcrafted cocktails to gourmet sandwiches and thoughtful entrees. But what really sets Asado Life apart is the ambiance. The entire experience feels intentionally curated--relaxed yet elevated. Dining is outdoors along the beautiful San Sebastian River, with string lights overhead, a warm fire pit glowing nearby, and the sounds of the live-fire grill in the background. It feels cozy, romantic, and special, whether you're there on a date night or with friends. Even when it's rained during our visits, the staff has made it seamless. They've got clear rain shields and thoughtful accommodations that keep the mood intact without sacrificing the open-air experience. It's one of those places where you want to sit and linger because the atmosphere is just that good. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food with an equally memorable setting.

This is my favorite place in the area. Always highly recommended by my family, and we tend to go for every special occasion. On Sundays they serve their extended lunch menu, which I honestly prefer because I like all the options on it. But their dinner menu is fantastic as well of course. Great service, beautiful location, amazing food.

Wow- highly recommend if in the St. Augustine area. Located outside of downtown. Plenty of parking and a beautiful water view! We stopped in for a Saturday lunch. Highly recommend making a reservation however plenty of tables open as we went right at opening. Service was quick, food was outstanding! Highly recommend the Cuban for lunch! I can not wait to go back!!

Such a fun experience at Asado Life! Our large party opted for the Asador Club for family style meals and it was the perfect fit for us. We loved plate sharing and ability to try multiple dishes. We were also able to get a large serving of mixed drinks that came in a bowl that all shared as well. The food was excellent, regardless of it being made for large groups. The staff at Asado Life handled our large party with grace. I am excited to go back and try their other reservation options!

Beautiful setting, disappointing experience. I won't be back. I've been visiting St. Augustine for the past eight years--my now-husband grew up here, and it's been a joy to watch this historic town grow with exciting, elevated dining options. Unfortunately, Asado Life is not one of them. Tucked away from the bustle of downtown, the restaurant has a gorgeous, modern vibe with serene views of the San Sebastián River. The ambiance is easily 5 stars--open, stylish, peaceful. Sadly, everything else fell flat. The real issue? The kitchen doesn't prepare anything fresh during service. When I mentioned my lactose intolerance (something I've dealt with my whole life), I was shocked by the lack of flexibility. I've dined at restaurants around the world, and even upscale ones with tasting menus have found ways to adjust. Not here. I was told the dishes are all assembled between 2-4pm, and nothing could be modified--not even the vegetable side (green beans, carrots, & potatoes). No swaps, no olive oil finish, not even a "crema on the side" for ceviche. The rigidity was baffling and felt lazy rather than intentional. Appetizers we tried: * Beef Tips - Cooked in miso butter. Group enjoyed the flavor, but they were served in an overwhelming puddle of butter emulsion that everyone ended up pushing aside/leaving * Ceviche - Easily one of the worst my husband has had. Not fresh, not cold, and drowned in crema with no option to modify. * House Salad - The only real highlight. Generous portion, fresh, and the Dijon vinaigrette is light and lovely. Honestly, one of the best things we had all night--and just $10. Mains: Because they couldn't modify any entrée except the steaks, I was basically forced into ordering a plain filet with another house salad as the only "dairy-free" meal option. No veggies, no starch, nothing else. For $60. * Filet (mine) - Cooked medium as requested, nice char. Chimichurri was solid, but the steak needed it--which speaks volumes about the quality. * 16 oz NY Strip (husband) - Opted for the Duck Fat Garlic Confit "steak enhancement" sauce, didn't like it, and scraped it off. He found the steak underwhelming overall. * Filet (father-in-law) - He was satisfied with his, & his finance did enjoy the garlic confit * Branzino Special - Served with polenta and well-executed; this was the only main that felt close to being worth the price Service was subpar. Dirty dishes from our appetizers stayed on the table well into our mains, even after servers returned. Our prosecco toasts sat empty while we celebrated my father-in-law's birthday/Father's Day belatedly. No urgency, no attentiveness. I did appreciate the server kindly taking our photos on the river front after dinner, after all it wasn't busy as she remarked... Worst of all? Clearly the kitchen still used dairy in my steak, chimichurri sauce, or salad as I had GI side effects all evening. Bottom line: I'd consider returning only for a glass of wine and that house salad--but frankly, I'd rather spend my money supporting a business that values both food quality and customer experience. For a place with such promise, Asado Life sadly misses the mark on both.

We chose this place specifically for the tomahawk steak, and it did not disappoint! Everything was absolutely delicious--the veggies tasted fresh, the steak was tender and cooked to perfection, and the key lime pie was hands-down the best we've ever had. The bourbon selection was impressive, and the service was impeccable. Our server made excellent suggestions for our party of four, ensuring we had plenty of options to share and enjoy. Pricing was right in line with what you'd expect for the quality. We will definitely return the next time we're in St. Augustine--and would absolutely love to see a location open in Greenville, SC!

I would go back just for salads alone. Sunday is their lunch menu all day. We knew and were happy with the selections. We both had the Asado trio meat was cooked well and flavorful. The chorizo and potato salad were weak links of this entree. We ate outside and nice vibes minimal bugs lol. The salads though were absolutely delicious. I love. A good salad but these were phenomenal. We ordered the street corn salad as an appetizer and I could've just ate that. The asada trio also comes with a salad so we tried their others and they were great. Drinks were good too, crafted well.

The aesthetics here are wonderful for any occasion you want to celebrate or even just a nice dinner out. It instantly feels like you are in a artisanal setting: drinks, decor, coastal vibes on the water and food. The marketplace with their own unique food to go foods, special cocktail ingredients to make craft cocktails at home, artisan sourdough and focaccia breads along with desserts to go. Our server was Kendall. She was polite, and attentive. However, we waited for about 15 min for our check. It was odd she cleared out plates so we thought she would comeback with our check. We waited another 5-7 and figured we should ask for a check since we did not know when it was coming. We came for the special pig roast. My husband who is Puerto Rican was so excited for cracklings and roasted pork. When we called to make reservations we were told 24.99 but we were told it was 29.99 by our server. The person stated that there would be cuts of belly, loin and roast. My husband enjoyed the pork because it was cut into chunks and not shredded. Even though the datil beans had a slight kick, he liked them a lot. The cole slaw was far more than that description. It was a shredded rainbow salad with light vinaigrette sauce. It was very elevated, crunchy and delicious. We got the hummus plate for starters. The homemade hummus was divine. In the marketplace you can get the same ingredients to make the platter at home. I got the house salad with shrimp. The shrimp were large and seasoned perfectly. The salad was massive and excited to try the crushed croutons tossed throughout the salad. Unfortunately it was salty and I could not eat more than maybe half. I would have liked to have seen cucumber as the description stated and more tomatoes. Kendall said that this salad was a hit or miss with the saltiness and she had dealt with the same issue when eating it. She apologized for the saltiness. We expected to see a lot more people for dinner. The restaurant was only half full. I hope they continue to stay on business. All of the staff is super sweet and very polite.

I reserved a table for 6 for a Saturday lunch. We were seated immediately at an outside table. Nice day, a little overcast and very comfortable temperature. We were protected from the weather by the roof. Also, great view of the boat yard and wetlands. Our waitress took drink orders and returned quickly. She then proceeded to take our orders. In a short period, some of us received their tomato soup. Before the finished our lunch was brought out. I wish restaurants would wait for people to finish a course before bringing the next Our lunches were great. I had the Asado bowl which was a little spicy but very tasty and flavorful. Everyone seemed to enjoy their dishes. I liked my pilsner as well We were never rushed except for the delivery of food. Otherwise a good experience. Total for 2 people and a beer was under $50 before tip. Can't wait to try their dinner sometime.

This is the best restaurant in St Augustine. Service, outdoor seating, food = all outstanding. The portions are great, price is reasonable. I can not recommend Asado Life enough.

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. What we also agreed on was that if we did come back, we would rather order off the menu. Those prior experiences were great but if all the Asador Club experiences were like this one, they're smart for stopping them. Great marketing. Poor execution. As you can see, my prior review was 5*

What's not to like about this place. They support the bees! But besides that the food is amazing, i am still dreaming about that focaccia bread! I got the Picanha French Dip and i think my husband got the Cotija Lime Shrimp. My server was amazing, very attentive and quite funny. Also its a water front location so i highly recommend sitting outside to enjoy the views! Also if you happen to spill something on your shirt no worries you can buy a souvenir shirt in the restaurant. They also have a small goods section where you can buy honey and other sauces.

We had such a wonderful experience at Asado Life! The drinks were strong, the ambiance was beautiful and the food was delish. We had the Americano burger and it was probably the best burger I've ever had in my life!! My wife isn't a big fan of burgers and she agreed. I would definitely come back and try more items next time we're in town.

I had heard about this restaurant for a while, and finally got there last night with a large party. I had the prime sirloin strip with french fries and a duck butter reduction. Probably one of the best pieces of perfectly grilled meat I've ever had in my life. Shared a salad, which was outstanding. Everybody in our party enjoyed their meat entrées, all requested temperatures of the individual meats prepared perfectly. You probably need GPS to find a restaurant, but once there the view of the inland channel and the marinas around, spectacular view. Staff was super attentive. The male bathroom was beautiful. I'm definitely going back.!!

Love! Love! Love! I came in on a Friday afternoon with my husband and twin infant sons to celebrate my birthday and was thoroughly impressed. The food, ambiance and service were all top notch. We made a reservation via OpenTable and were seated as soon as we arrived. We were easily accommodated at an indoor table that still offered a patio/water view and enough room for two infant carriers. Our server was extremely friendly and gave us a rundown of the menu and daily specials. We started out with side Caesar salads and then went with the Asado trio and picanha French dip. Both were delicious, but the trio was the definite stand out. All of the meats were tender and so flavorful! We finished off with the strawberry shortcake parfait, which was a nice single serving way to end with something sweet. We had such a great experience and I'd definitely love to come back and give the dinner menu a shot!

Run, don't walk, to Asado Life at The Shipyards. The food was delicious and service was excellent. We had the occasional bread and sesame ginger beef tips. Definitely dip the bread into the sauce. Dinner was Asado Trio (mmm picanha and chicken thigh) and lobster mac and cheese (also yummy). Dessert was the best Key Lime Pie. We are definitely coming back.

Incredible food, we had the Asado Trio, the focaccia bread and the lobster gnocchi. The best steak and lobster we ever had and the handmade gnocchi were like little potatoe-y pasta pillows of heaven. The service was top notch and the atmosphere is very comfortable.

We decided on a little day trip to St. Augustine today and wanted to try a new to us restaurant for lunch. We made a reservation for 2pm, made good time and arrived a bit early around 1:35ish. Thankfully they sat us right away on the outdoor patio as requested. We sat unacknowledged for about 15 mins and if the weather hadn't been so beautiful we would have left. But we were trying to relax and enjoy the day and had already had a chance to review the menu so we were excited to order and get to eating. Our server, Emilio, arrived and we were eager to order. Maybe a bit too eager, my fiancé accidentally cut them off before the specials with our drink order. Not sure if that contributed to the service but it wasn't intentional and we had been waiting awhile. We knew what we wanted and put in our complete order, drinks, appetizers, and sandwiches all at once. My phone eats first so the time stamps are helpful at painting the picture. Our order (according to our receipt) was put in at 1:52. Our drinks arrived at 2:04, apps at 2:07, and sandwiches at 2:40 (which is when we asked for our check). A table that ordered after us received their food and finished before our sandwiches made it out to us. After we had finished our apps for awhile (and probably started looking around annoyed) Emilio stopped by and let us know they would check on our order. After another few mins our food came out. Not sure if the kitchen lost our order, it was mistakenly sold to another table, or what, but the lack of communication made a frustrating situation worse. Now, I do want to give props where they are due. The food was tasty! We really enjoyed the smoked fish dip and roasted pineapple appetizers. Our Al Pastor Margaritas were delicious! If we would have been asked or acknowledged again we would have loved another round. The Steak & Gorgonzola sandwich was so flavorful! My Picahna French Dip was ok. It was actually better without the au jus but I was jealous of my fiancé's dish for sure. The steak fries were well seasoned and crispy and a hit for both of us. My fiancé also forgot his debit card in the server book and thankfully since we made a reservation with open table they had my number to call and let us know. Really do appreciate the effort on their part to let us know. I'd like to believe this experience was a one off, but there are so many restaurants in St. Augustine we probably won't be back soon. Would recommend for a tasty cocktail on the patio if you have some time and the weather is agreeable.

Read really good things about this place so we decided to venture away from downtown to try it. We had dinner reservations but decided to come over for lunch instead. Luckily it was easy to cancel the dinner. Got a seat quick. Outside is so nice with the views of old town and the river. So many good sounding things on the menu it was hard to choose. We chose to get the Asado trio for one. It was plenty to get a taste of what they are about. Amazing! They do meat really good here. For me the chicken was the best. So tender and seasoned so well. The salad and potato salad were just as good. So good and unique. Had a couple of cocktails and wine. Everything is so good. Service was really good. Stryker was great. Good Suggestions and conversation. Solid spot. Good is amazing, reasonably priced and relaxing vibe.

The hostess seated us in the back corner with a window view of the outside. It was really nice. I recommend eating outside if the weather is suitable to your liking. Their food was top-notch! We had the homemade bread, which reminded me of the bread over in Europe. For dinner, we had lobster ravioli, and the trio platter. The chicken was by far the best thing on the plate steak was really good and the chorizo was meh. Chorizo flavor was good, but it was dry and grainy. The server did not take care of her tables well. Come to think of it she never checked on us. Not once. I noticed long pauses when she was not in her zone. My water ran dry twice. I actually had to wave her down to get attention at our table. She took a long time to get boxes for the food and then the check and then to get the check taken care of. That was the bad part of the experience, otherwise they would've received a five star rating.

5 stars for our wonderful lunch! Inside and outside dining with a beautiful water view. I have to admit I had trouble finding Asado Life as my GPS got kind of confused! If your GPS doesn't quite get you there....keep looking! This restaurant is worth it. I had black bean soup and a salad and yes I recommend!

This was a nice place! Food was delicious and service was wonderful! They are fast and friendly. The view is def something to go check out after dinner and take a walk down by the dock. The Mac and cheese was so delicious and creamy!

Well, this was not the experience we anticipated, as we had dined here previously and had a great meal. When we first heard about the restaurant and their outdoor grill experience we wanted to try it, but we were hesitant because it is very pricey, Since it was a milestone birthday for my husband who happens to love grilled meats and veggies, we decided to splurge and invited our family to join us. The pre-tax and tip price is $30 per person more than the typical Brazilian steakhouse that offers all you can eat picanha and many other meats. This Argentine style grilled experience was not offered as all you can eat although it was advertised as eat while it lasts which is somewhat misleading. Service was meh, friendly but not very attentive. To say our entire party was disappointed is an understatement.

The food was delicious! The meat was soft, wonderful taste and perfectly cooked. The service was the best , our waitress Alejandro was very attentive and kind. The restaurant is beautiful and clean.

My wife and I enjoyed our Sunday lunch. We were seated promptly upon arrival. We opted for inside seating, but outside view was nice with live music. We started off with freshly baked Focaccia Bread Board app. Soft on the inside crispy on the outside just enough for the two of us and cocktails. For the Mains, we elected for the Special Yellowtail for two. Board came with crispy plantain chips, rice and beans, peppers with tomatoes and ceviche. Fish was so good and tasted fresh. Great service! Only drawback was when my wife made the reservation, they asked if we were celebrating a special occasion and she said a birthday, but no greetings or mention before and after we ate.

I wanted to make a reservation for dinner but it was difficult online. It is prepaid and it seems for the 5 course dinner, if you reserve for 2, you cannot have 2 different entrees. I decided to do lunch instead. There was a question if we were celebrating anything and I noted that it was my birthday. However, none of the staff greeted me when we inform them of my reservation. What's the point of asking the occasion? LOL. Aside from online reservation issue, it seems that dinner is outdoor and it's summertime. I also read somewhere that there were flies everywhere, so maybe we will try dinner when the weather is cooler. The Sunday menu is very limited but I saw a huge fish on another table and was told by our server that the Yellowtail Fish is their special for the day. It's good for two and comes with rice & beans, Shrimp ceviche, fried plantains & pickled veggies. We ordered that plus their house made focaccia bread. The bread was sliced into 5 pieces and we finished them all, it was that good! As for the fish, wow, so flaky and flavorful. We were told to eat the plantains with the ceviche and it was the perfect balance of the saltiness and acidity of the ceviche and the mild sweetness of the plantains. Simply delicious! I went outside and there were live music playing and the view is amazing! We enjoyed our overall experience and will definitely try their dinner next time!

Went to have lunch for the first time at Asado life and it was a great experience. The weather was perfect, drinks were good and looked so pretty. The food was pretty tasty as well. Ordered the Cotija Lime Shrimp (8 out 10)and the shrimp Po Boy. (7 out 10)

Found this place during our visit to St. Augustine, it's very nicely decorated and loved the view of the water. The outside bar and seating are big and spacious. Indoors has a bar as well and a good amount of seats. We arrived and outdoors was completely empty and plenty of empty tables inside however we were asked if we had reservations, which we didn't so they told us we could sit at the bar if there were seats available, which there weren't any. Went back to hostess and pointed out the amount of empty tables indoors and outside. Anyways we found a table at the bar area that was being emptied and asked to sit there and were told we couldn't bc it wasn't clean!! At this point I was ready to leave but husband was hungry so I had to sternly ask "well where CAN we sit?" It was just two of us can't imagine it's so difficult to find us a spot geez. Finally got the darn bar table and ordered their soup of the day which was a beef and vegetable soup and it was very tasty and a good size portion too. They have a dish called trio which is steak, chicken and chorizo and comes with a salad and potato salad. It was a good size portion so we shared that. I really like the location, decor and food was ok, not amazing. I'd definitely come back and give it another try perhaps order something else on the menu and MAKE RESERVATIONS for sure! It does beat the tourist trap restaurant in the historic area. Plenty of parking available.

5 stars doesn't do this place justice!! We had the most incredible time here! One of the nicest places I've eaten at in St Aug. The restaurant is immaculate! The decor is sleek and clean, and the energy is amazing! Our server was so sweet and took great care of us. We had wine, Sweet Potato Agnolotti with their fresh focaccia bread, Bronzino and a s'mores cake! Everything was 10/10, the best meal I've had in St Aug by far!! Warning: You do need to call ahead for the meat by 10am so they have time to cook! The Sweet Potato Agnolotti with the buttery focaccia was sooo delicious and warm, like a comfort food! The Bronzino was a pre-ordered sea bass with grilled veggies - phenomenal!! And oh my goodness the s'mores cake was sooo good, sweet but not to sweet and just perfection. I could not say enough good things about this place! MUST TRY!

One of our favorite places to eat on the water. Food and service is fantastic and so nice sitting out overlooking the water. Plenty of boat parking as well! Great place. Great Food. Great service

I ordered the Asado bowl for lunch and added with it the pork butt roast addition. The bowl was visually appealing and had good taste. The additional pork ($8.99 extra) was not of good quality regarding either taste or tenderness. It was bland. The service was excellent. Overall not good value for a $30.00 lunch. There are better alternatives.

We did another chefs table dinner this past weekend. Menu, presentation and food were all amazing (properly prepared and beautifully seasoned with flavors that complement each other wonderfully. Service was also fantastic. The 12 person dining setting with views of water lovely. We will come back again any time they offer a new menu.

Location was beautiful, service was great, and the food was AMAZING! Went for lunch and was seated quickly. Menu is very detailed and full of a variety of options. Hard to choose but I settled on the chicken salad sandwich but subbed the house made focaccia for the brioche bun. It was easily the best sandwich I've ever had. Will definitely be back to check out the dinner menu.

Such a cute spot on the water. Food was delicious. We loved ceviche appetizer and focaccia bread was sooo good! We even saw a dolphin swimming by while dining.

Hubby and I had dinner at Asado Life in St. Augustine one Saturday evening and were impressed by the overall dining experience. Though I will say that this might not be for everyone. I think for what they are trying to present, it was very successful. If this is your kind of thing (dining outdoors, great food and service), it's pretty wonderful. So the outdoor space is gorgeous, but not for everyone. You are out in the elements: it might be too hot, too cold, too windy, etc... So if you are looking for more of a fine dining experience, best to opt out of seating outdoor. While we really enjoyed our food and service, we did find the bugs an issue for us. It's not much the restaurant could do... I mean, it's Florida and a warm early spring evening, there will be bugs. Some experienced patrons brought their own bug spray (soooo smart). So I'd still give it a five star review because the food was excellent (we pre-ordered/shared a tomahawk ribeye, it was delicious) and the view was indeed beautiful. The seating area is so inviting with the warm strung up lights. We loved the ambiance, just not the bugs. Next time, we'll know to bring bug spray.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Asado Life! The outside patio has absolutely gorgeous views. We had a 12 pm reservation for Sunday brunch and were seated, with food and drinks in front of us by 1230. Can't beat that!! We would definitely go back for the dinner experience. Pictured is the Asiago bread board ($10) and the asada trio for $2. The potato salad was the best potato salad I have EVER had.

Absolutely loved this place! Went for a girls day lunch and the food, atmosphere and service (Rose) was phenomenal!! Tons of different fresh flavorful food and drink choices. Highly recommend! Sad we didn't know about this place sooner. Already made a reservation for our next visit.

Extremely disappointed with the customer service. Terrible customer service. Staff at the bar were rude, inattentive, and made us feel unwelcome. I asked the Lobster Mack and Cheese (Entree for $35 and I counted 4 tiny pieces of lobster.‍ Unfortunately, I won't be returning and cannot recommend this place until they seriously improve their customer service."

Updat and confirmation of our previous review. So we went back on a Saturday to try the regular menu. Greeted and seated inside promptly, ordered wine,apps and food. All excellent. Server was on the ball, attentive without being intrusive. Music was THE WORST and way too loud for a restaurant. We ordered wine, grilled cheese sandwich and asado roasted pineapple as apps. Both were very tasty and flavorful, but the grilled cheese on focaccia bread was out of this world!!! I had the Asado Burger and The Boss has the Street Corn Salad with added grilled shrimp. Both were substantial, unique, flavorful, The shrimp were small-ish for $9, but were prepared beautifully and grilled to perfection. Ive added a few photos of the food. We renew our recommendation of Asado Life. A fine little restaurant with excellent service and offerings.

Met a friend for lunch. Our first time eating here. There is high indoor and outside seating. We sat outside. In case of bad weathered there are clear curtains, which was great since we sat outside and there was a short rain. Full service bar. We both had a French 75- yummy, shared a grilled pineapple appetizer also tasty. My lunch was an asado bowl with roast pork shoulder - perfect. Friend had the French dip that came with fries and she said her's was good too. I would go back. Apple Maps took me down the wrong street- turn on Arapaho!!!

Came in with a large party, I will agree some of us can be difficult but Adam did an amazing job handling the volume and pressure of bad weather moving in. The food was outstanding and the staff made sure that all guests dishes were up to their standards! Adam really went above and beyond to make this party and special experience and I commend the staff for their service and great ambiance. Thank you to everyone and would definitely be back! Always try the chef specials and any homemade upgrades, worth it!

Returned to St. Augustine for this place. The food and drinks here are the best! We split the foccacia bread, and our entrees (Asado burger and Poblano stuffed pepper with grilled steak) were cooked perfectly. Will make sure to visit every time we come St. Augustine!

Terrific setting, great concept. Excellent food and better service. Went there for our son's birthday with his friends. Not cheap, but a fantastic time and great memories. Have gone since.

We came back and did the flights and market shopping and I can't say enough. If you go don't leave without focaccia or the brown butter chocolate chip cookies. So legendary

Asado Life has been on my radar for a while. We decided to go for lunch on our anniversary in September. We sat outside and enjoyed the view and weather immensely. Our menu choices: Appetizer-grilled pineapple; Entrees- husband had the grilled Asado Trio, I had the Rotisserie Smoked Chicken Salad Sandwich. We thought everything we had was delicious!! I liked my sandwich so much that I purchased, from their Market, a container of both the chicken salad and the Apple Agrodolce (which was on the sandwich). The combination is delicious! We both agreed we would be back again and wouldn't hesitate to bring visiting guests here as well. ***When you visit be sure to go down onto the dock and look at the memorial for the shipyard workers and shrimpers. It is amazing and very well done.

Asado Life has been one of those places I've been wanting to check out for the very longest. The restaurant layout is pretty well thought out. Walking into this place is very inviting, with nice decor. There is a bar inside once you walk in. And if you prefer to eat outside, they have 2 dining option, one exclusive and one of a Gaucho style flare. And yes, there is also a bar outside as well. From what I was told, Asado Life is a scratch kitchen, which I am a big fan of. Foods seems to taste way better when made from scratch. The fresher, the better. Their menu is not too complicated and straightforward. Food impressions - Asado Trio (5/5): I really like the flavors of all three meats, the steak, the chorizo and the chicken. - BBLT Sandwich (4/5) This sandwich was just okay to me. Even though the bread was made fresh, I felt it overpowered the sandwich concept, which was "where is the bacon or lack of". I could hear the bacon crying "Dufuq Bro, I am the star of this sandwich, not you Mr Bread". Secondly, even the veggies overpowered the bacon. We all know folks that when it comes BLT, the Bacon is KING of the sandwich - Side House Salad (5/5): Perhaps one of the best I've ever eaten had in my life. It was nice and so fresh. The dressing was fabulous. I could eat a few more of these bowls. Deeeelicious. - Potato Salad (3/5) This was the side choice that came with the Asado Trio. The potato salad was abit on the bland side for me and even though it came with sweet drop peppers which I am told would liven up the flavor. It did to a small degree but not enough to wow my palate. Lastly, a 5 STAR service for Ashley for a great service. All in all, this is a nice place for date night or to bring groups of friends to join you. I plan to come here again to experience the nightlife or the weekend night vibes. A nice place also if you just wanna grab a drink and head out to the lower deck where he can just sit and chill. Sit long enough and you may be able to watch some dolphins swim by.

Had an incredible lunch after my daughter's graduation. Service for 27 people was excellent. Food was beyond amazing! Every single person raved about everything we ate. They still are talking about it. We had the perfect celebration for a special day! Thank you to the staff who helped us! Can't wait to go back!
