Great experience. Service and ambiance were top notch. Beautiful venue as long as the weather cooperates. The food was all really good. I advise not to get there too early. It is a long dinner. It is a great place to entertain a group. The Tomahawk and the Short Rib were beautifully plated and very tasty. My personal favorite was the Short Rib empanadas. They came out with a lobster ceviche and it was fresh and bright. We had our kids and extended family with us. If you bring your kids male sure they have something to occupy their time. Overall it was a really nice experience and different from anything else available. read more

I ordered a disgusting duck liver spread. It was my mistake, but the nice waitress also didn't explain that the order wasn't duck meat but the innards. I couldn't eat it and complained to the waitress who shrugged it off. Later, a manager came over and offered to replace the meal. At that point the others in my party were done eating AND she didn't indicate a new dinner would be free, so I declined. When the bill came--almost $300 for four people--I was charged for my revolting order. They were within their rights to charge me, but it was tacky to do so. A classy restaurant would have not charged me. read more

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. read more

Went back for lunch with a group. The drinks are great. try the hurricane. We loved the stuffed pepper ap. I heard good things from my compadres re. the cheese burger with scotch bonnet potato salad as well as the asado roasted tostadas and the parrilla grilled steak. I had the tacos al pastor which is my measuring stick for all things latin cuisine. They were fantastic. Definitely a better experience at lunch vs. the evening meal. read more

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. read more

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." read more

Ate here for lunch after hearing lots of good things. Nice family restaurant, suggest a reservation even for lunch. We were seated outside and waited on by the bar tender. Menu is ok not much for the pescatarians in your group. The bar tender makes a mean margarita but it costs $14.00. We ordered Cuban sandwich and a shrimp sandwich still very expensive four shrimp on the po boy but flavor was good. read more

High quality food and a beautiful view on the San Sebastian River. Everything was A+, from the charcuterie to the Asado trio, the view, and service from Nash J. Seating options are plentiful, indoor, outside covered, outside uncovered, and a beautiful bar area. The theme is Argentinian-style barbecue with many creative meat and seafood options. Pricing can get up there if you go with the higher-end dishes, but there are multiple sub-$40 entrees too. If you haven't been there yet, just go - you'll love it. read more

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! read more

I bought a gift card to this restaurant for my husband's birthday and we decided to use it for dinner on Saturday evening. It was a real delight. The restaurant is located on the water in St. Augustine near the shipyard. The views were beautiful. We were seated at an outdoor table on their back patio with a nice view of the water. Nash, our waiter, quickly came over for our drinks orders. It is an Argentinian Steakhouse with two outdoor grills cooking various types of meats. The smell was great. The menu has appetizers, salads, entrees and tasting menus. We started with a charcuterie board. It had various meats, cheeses, olives, breads, and sauces. The pork shoulder pate was very tasty. For entrees we had the Asado trio and the surf, surf and turf special. The trio had a sausage link, a chicken thigh, and a steak serving, along with potatoes and vegetables. The surf and turf special had steak, lobster and crab. Everything we ate tasted great. We did not have room for dessert, but maybe next time. read more

Grocery store steaks, cooked ok. Nice ambiance and drinks. Would suggest the restaurant upgrade their beef quality.

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! read more

After over an hour of waiting, we still hadn't received our meals. We initially ordered the grilled vegetables, meats and Branzino...only to be informed--40 minutes later--that it was no longer available. Trying to salvage the experience, we asked to move outside, but the coveted porch blocks any airflow, turning it into an uncomfortably hot space rather than an enjoyable setting. Finally, after speaking to the manager about the delay, our food arrived almost immediately--yet two dishes were cold, and the vegetable tray was the last to come out. They offered to recook the cold dishes, but after waiting this long, we opted to leave instead. Overall, not impressed. read more

O my! This place is amazing. Great food, great service and awesome atmosphere. At first, the location seemed sketchy but as soon as you walk in your nose greeted with smell of smoked meats. The place is unique and we fell in love with the atmosphere and staff. We sat outside and it was great seats overlooking the water. I had a rotisserie chicken salad sandwich, which was delicious. We will be back! read more

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. read more

Run as fast as you can to this place! Beautiful restaurant with a great view and delicious food. Wonderful service as well. Everyone is very attentive as soon as you enter. We couldn't have asked for a better waiter. Ask for Linus. Super helpful with helping us decide what to order. We stopped in for lunch on a sunny day and sat in the covered area outside. Husband had the French dip sandwich and I had the corn salad with shrimp. Perfect portions and so flavorful. Massive French fries with the sandwich. Everything tasted amazing. Our white sangrias were great too. Sometimes sangria can be way too sweet. These were perfect, light on the sweet. We will be back to try out dinner here soon. read more

The food and the service was excellent. Was there for lunch. Elizabeth was our server, she was the best.

the food was overall overpriced for the taste. i got the grilled chicken club sandwich. the focaccia was very tough, dry, and oily and was not very nice to bite into, almost as if it was premade and not fresh but the chicken was well seasoned and juicy. the bblt also had focaccia bread which was the same quality and it only had a few salad leaves, some sauce, and the beef bacon. Most of the food was not that bad but i wouldn't get anything with bread in it. the service was pretty good but i think the hostess was lying about the availability of tables and we got seated right next to the door which was not very pleasant. the waiters were very nice and accommodating but that's all i have to say about them. the atmosphere was very clean and beautiful. it was a nice modern theme. The restaurant was on the water and had a lot of outdoor seating but i couldnt really see the view since we sat indoors. overall the food wasn't really good for the price but the service and atmosphere was pretty good. i would not go again. read more

Very Disappointing - Not Worth Your Money Anymore This was my fifth time visiting this restaurant. I used to recommend it to friends because of its great location by the water, decent food, and nice ambiance--especially for birthdays or celebrations. Unfortunately, after my most recent visit, I can confidently say I will not be returning. We had one of the worst experiences ever. The staff treated us poorly, and the overall service was unacceptable. While the food is okay, it's definitely not worth the price or the stress. I'm really disappointed, especially after having supported and recommended this place in the past. Please be aware before making a reservation--there are better options out there that will treat you with respect and give you a better overall experience. read more

It's fire baby! What a fun dining experience in St. Augustine! The new waterfront location is beautiful! Check their website for the schedule, and make your reservation. The tomahawk bone in ribeye is my fav, but they also have a whole branzino, lobster, & vegetarian options. It's all served with appetizers, salad, and a mouth watering dessert. read more

We had a good, but mixed experience at the new Asado Life St. Augustine restaurant. We visited for lunch for my wife's birthday. The weather was amazing so we decided to sit outside. The restaurant is very modern and clean and while the views on the water aren't amazing because of the surrounding townhouses and boats it's still very nice and pleasant with small views of Flagler college in the distance over the trees. The food was really good. We got the focaccia bread board as an appetizer and it was a hit with everyone. We all agreed it was some of the best bread we'd ever had. Two of us got cocktails and one of us got wine. While they were "good" they were at the higher end considering the presentation (more on that later). Two of us got the salads. They were good but the croutons might be too spicy for some. My wife got the veggie sandwich was delicious as well with the tomato bisque. I got the casado trio, while the chicken thighs were amazing, the chorizo was just good, and the steak was a little overcooked for my liking (I was never asked how I wanted it cooked which I thought odd for a place specializing in steak). The part of the meal that really fell short was the service. We were seated without menus. When we informed the waitress who asked if we were ready, she took nearly half an hour to return to take our order even though they didn't appear busy. My wife's soup was forgotten and we had to remind her to get it. One of the cocktails had a fire presentation that the waitress was unable to create. We were informed that they provided a dessert for birthdays (common amountst high end restaurants) which was never offered, and when we got the bill there were up charges that's we never ordered on the cocktails. They said the cocktail up charge was a "computer issue" but as soon as the corrected it a new cocktail came out leading me to believe she just rang it in with the up charge hoping we wouldn't notice. For three drinks, bread, two salads, a sandwich, and a sampler platter the bill was over $150 for lunch. For that price I would expect great food, ambiance, and service and they just didn't deliver that at Asado Life. For a birthday meal we were expecting a little more. read more

This place is now our favorite restaurant in St. Augustine! The food is fresh, absolutely DELICIOUS, and beautifully presented. The experience is very special and reminds me of dining in Europe where they expect you to enjoy your table all evening long without being rushed. It was such a beautiful experience for the whole family and the opportunity to make a wonderful memory. We did have vegetarians in our group and the vegetarian option made by the chef was superb! Even the carnivores were sneaking bites off their plates. I wish I had the foresight to take more pics of the meal but we were so caught up in the moment and experience. The food is gourmand approved! Worth every penny and we plan to go often! read more

I took my Mom to lunch here, and we were not disappointed! The restaurant is located on the water with a beautiful back patio protected from the sun. It's gorgeous, and you can watch boats sail by. The service was superb - very attentive and helpful waiter. And the food was amazing - we had the fish and chips, and it may be the best fish and chips we've had! I brought home an Italian Sandwich for my husband and he also said it was the best Italian sandwich he's ever had. We will certainly be back! read more

Amazing, came here for lunch and I loved everything about if! Upon walking in the smell of the smoked meat was divine, there is a beautiful island of a bar in the middle of the restaurant. Lighting is nice and romantic yet casual. Plenty of tables inside as well as outside. Inside temperature was perfect not overly cold. I opted for outside because I love the humidity. It was lovely it overlooked the body of water where boats were launching. Food was a 10/10 we did the Asado Trio for two $59 then a side of Chimmichuri Shrimp $9 a Malbec $10 and a Cable Knit Sweater $12 total bill was $89! Loved it Customer Service was EXCELLENT!! We will be back! Bonus our waitress took our photo! Thank you! It was a lovely lunch read more

A very interesting place. Outdoor seating overlooks an inlet where dolphins can sometimes be seen. You can order entrees in advance that are slow cooked on an outdoor grill. Wife had Bronzino cooked that way and loved it. My Cioppino was Ok, with several large and tasty shrimp. The bananas foster was good, but large enough to share. Service good. read more

We used Asado Life for catering services for our annual event, hosting 150 guests. Katie and her team were such a pleasure to work with. They made every part of the food experience beautiful and perfect for our guests. Asado made our event even more impactful and memorable because of the incredible food. I was initially nervous about a buffet, but it was the most incredible buffet I've ever had. Thank you for being a part of it! read more

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. read more

I tried the platter with the steak the homemade chorizo and the chicken , came with a potato salad also tried the focaccia appetizer bread. Steak with the homemade chimichurri was good. I found the chicken to be a little salty and very slightly under cooked. I'm assuming it was brined. I like the chorizo and I really like the focaccia bread was good. The potato salad though tastes like it was made with two day old precooked potatoes but the Service was good, and the drinks are good. Ambience was what you would expect very open had a very nice bar. read more

We were a party of four for lunch. We went specifically to enjoy the outside patio & water view. When we arrived we saw a massive development going on across the way & since it was a windy day there was so much debris flying around the air from the construction we opted for indoors. The views are just as nice actually inside and the place is well appointed. I was here several years ago when it was a different restaurant. The decor seems to be mostly the same as it's a nice looking place. Our group was hungry & decided on a few appetizers. We had the special which was a fish dip as well as, the hummus, and grilled pineapple. All three were very good. Our server was very nice and had a trainer in tow who was filling our water glasses & asking us if we wanted refills on our drinks. All good. I ordered the 1/2 smoked chicken only because this is an Argentinian supposed place where the smoke meats are a specialty. After I saw some delicious looking sandwiches go by I was regretting my order. Two in our party ordered a sandwich served on focaccia bread and a hamburger. Both looked wonderful & were given 2 thumbs up. My husband ordered the trio of meats, a sausage, chicken thigh and some slices of steak. He said it was ok OK & was also disappointed he didn't order one of their sandwiches. When my chicken came out it looked quite unappealing. It was a 1/2 chicken just on a plate, no garnish nothing . There was a lot of liquid on the plate as well. As soon as I cut into it I saw pink juices and it was undercooked. I brought it to the attention of the server who tried to tell me it was cooked. I have been eating chicken all my life cooking it myself, ordering it in restaurants etc. I know what cooked chicken looks like and I know what raw chicken looks like. This was not cooked thoroughly. The server took it back and told me the manager would be over. When the manager did come over he tried to tell me the same thing that it was cooked & smoked chicken looks red by the bone. I know all that. This had red juices coming out of it. By this time I was quite annoyed. When the chicken did return, (the same piece I might add ) as I had cut into it I had already lost my appetite. This was just as well as my dining companions were already finished. We paid the check and left. When I asked my husband if he'd like to go back there for dinner one night he said I don't think so. With so many dining options in Jax and St. Augustine specifically this is not a place I'd return to that quickly. If you do go for lunch take my advice & order one of their sandwiches on that focaccia bread or ask for your chicken well done. read more

We had a reservation for a table for six people at 6:00. We made the reservation about three weeks earlier. Our waitress showed us a nice table along a side wall in a quieter area. We arrived at 5:40; we like to relax and have a drink. Our designated table was empty; as were many other tables. We had to plead with management to sit at the table instead of the bar. After assuring us we could be seated, we were led outside to sit at a table that was very uncomfortable--too high for the seats. Our waiter did turn on the heater. This happened to us at the same restaurant several years ago--different owners, but the same stupid policy. Food is good, but pricey. read more

Spending a week in St. Augustine and looking for a unique place for lunch. Stumbled on this (kind of) out of the way. The environment is on the water but kind of a bay (San Sebastian River?). Not a lot around the restaurant but there is building going on. IMO this is great planning because this is going to be a hot spot in the future. We ate at the bar and could see a lot of the water around the restaurant. Food and service was great. read more

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. 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. If you don't believe my take on the manager's lack of hospitality and his outright aggression, please see his response on Google Reviews where he lied about the entire situation and still refrained from apologizing to me or my family. Do not spend your money here! read more

Brought hubby to Asado Life to celebrate his birthday and this was by far one of the best dinner experiences, we have had in awhile. Loved the fact and it's a set time seating; we had the tomahawk dinner and it was cooked to perfection! The dinner also included, bread, a fish ceviche w plantain Chips, salad and a dessert! Needless to say we were stuffed! The drinks were also phenomenal! Sarah was a great bartender super friendly and expert at making drinks, and Torin our sever was awesome! read more

Terrible service. We were not treated with respect. Had a family member with mobility issues and they made a big deal about getting her a small additional table. Accessibility should not be something we have to fight for and this is certainly an ADA violation. Would never go back here given the way they treat our elders. Update: the owner has responded the same way on these reviews - with lies. No one was pushed - the patrons next to us saw an older lady with mobility issues and offered to let us combine the tables. The bride is a much smaller woman - the idea of her pushing this over 6 ft man is laughable to say the least. Dine here at your own risk. read more

Food is excellent. Service by Nick and team is outstanding. And the ambiance at lunch and dinner service is fantastic. By far my favorite spot in St Augustine. Lunchtime at the market is reasonable and really good. I've had more rotisserie chicken here because it's cheap and delicious!! We did the chefs table for New Year and have done surf and turf at another time. I can't recommend this spot enough. read more
