Famous Asado
Nata M.

Amazing spot! Make sure to make a reservation. The food was amazing. We tried their smoked fish dip and special dish- smoked chicken, shrimps in a pineapple. Place itself has a great ambiance located right next to the river facing magnificent marshes.

The food is spectacular we started withe the broccoli cheddar/potato soup. And then the steak and gorgonzola sandwich. Service from Stephanie is always amazing. When she is not here we ask for Rose or Matthew but they are all great. The ambiance is somewhat casual at lunch time. Highly suggest specialty drinks as the bartenders are amazing. And don't forget the shop to take to go items The potato salad and the manchego cheese with chimichurri is great for a snack at night.

Literally one of my favorite meals ever. Appetizer: Sesame Ginger Beef Tips. Tender, savory, with that perfect sweet ginger kick. The sauce is perfect for dipping. Main: Braised Short Ribs with the enhancement Asado Magnifico. Rich, fall off the bone perfection! And let's talk about the bread. A must. Warm, soft, and paired with the best butter. I could have made a meal out of that alone. Nash made the whole night even better with amazing service

Love!!! Came a bit before our table was ready and sat at the bar for a drink. The bartender was very social and polite. Loved that the outside seating was right on the water, it really set a nice vibe. Perfect place to go when the weathers nice!

Asado Life was the perfect Saturday lunch spot. My husband and I went in with high hopes...and left very full and very happy. We both ordered the Asado Trio (steak, chicken, and sausage) and wow. The steak was cooked perfectly... juicy, flavorful, no notes. The sausage was packed with flavor and honestly might've been my favorite bite. And the chicken? I almost never order chicken when I'm out, but this completely changed my mind. Perfectly seasoned, super tender, and genuinely delicious. Did not expect that. We had side Caesar salads and I have to mention the crushed croutons because they deserve their moment. Crunch in every bite and no awkwardly large crouton situation. Cocktails were great, service was friendly and on point, and the ambiance really seals the deal. Add a water view and it's the kind of place you want to sit, sip, and not rush through your meal. All around, a solid win. Top level quality that consistently delivers. We'll definitely be back, and I'm already thinking about that trio again.

I'm so glad I gave Asado Life another shot! My first visit wasn't the best, but this time around, I found much better menu options that really showcased what they can do. I tried the Asado Bowl with chicken and it was fantastic--the flavors were spot on. My husband went with the Smash Burger and loved it. ​The restaurant was absolutely packed at noon, so I'd highly recommend making a reservation. Even with the lunch rush, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. A great lunch overall!

'Asado' which means either barbecue or roast in Español very well fits this awesome new spot we visited for dinner last night as we had great drinks such as the Gingerbread Old Fashioned and the Witch Brew that was perfect for the cold evening. The appetizers are delicious, the Chorizo Pan and the Sriracha Shrimp was so good, that we did empty the plates as the seasoning was well prepared. For the main course, we had the Asado Trio for less than $40 and it is a combination of Lean Steak, Sausage. Chicken and servings of potatoes and veggies. This reminded me of my traveling days in Argentina as the meats and spices are prepared like this and yep, everything was finished, Burp! Muchas Gracias to our server Nick for the recommendations and to the rest of the crew for the lovely evening. We will definitely be back to try the lunch menu! Also, the view from this place is nice, away from the touristy spot of St. Augustine, plus you can walk around and bring your dogs here as they are very pet-friendly. Oh yeah, they have a market too and alcohol-tasting rooms that can be reserved for guests :)

Porterhouse

We visited this restaurant back in May and just grabbed a seat at the bar for apps and cocktails. We had such a great experience we couldn't wait to come back this December for dinner to celebrate my birthday and the holidays. We are still puzzled as to why this restaurant isn't rated higher. The restaurant is gorgeous with beautiful views and inviting decor. The cocktails are perfectly executed and the wine list really compliments their menu. Our server was excellent. He was very attentive and had a friendly and fun demeanor. We started with the miso steak appetizer. The actual name escapes me but it is a flavor I will forever chase. It was creative and bright and truly started the meal off splendidly. My husband and I split the porterhouse (pictured) and it was presented as a perfect medium rare. The broccolini and carrots were delicious as well and complimented our steak nicely. This is definitely one of our favorite all time restaurants. We will continue to return anytime we visit the area.

Front entrance plenty of parking in busy St Augustine district

Great to escape the crowds of Main Street St. Augustine. Terrific service and classic intercostal views

Spicy Italian
Chris C.

Ambiance, setting and concept along with service easily five star. As well as presentation of the dishes. Stopped for lunch and ordered the Smoked Fish dip as an appetizer and the Spicy Italian on Tuscan Loaf. The smoked fish dip was totally without any taste of being smoked. The Spicy Italian was served a soft roll that was nowhere near a true Tuscan Loaf and it was cold. Had the right meats and flavors, just wasted on a tasteless bread. I will return for something off the entree list as the meats appeared very well prepared in an open pit. Hope to be as impressed with food as the decor and setting.

Beautiful restaurant

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!

Members only bar lounge

Asado Life is a beautiful space. The decor is striking, the waterfront setting works, and visually it sets expectations pretty high. That's what made lunch a little disappointing. I started with the Buzzing Black Manhattan with honey brown butter rye. On paper it sounded great. In the glass... not so much. The presentation didn't really land, and the flavor never came together for me. It just didn't hit the palate the way you hope a cocktail like that will. That said, their drink menu is extensive, and I can see how someone could find a favorite there. For an appetizer, we ordered the smoked fish dip. It looked good, nicely plated, and came with freshly toasted bread. Unfortunately, it was very bland. No real seasoning, no depth, just kind of there. Even with good bread, it didn't leave much of an impression. My entree was the steak and gorgonzola sandwich with fries. I'm guessing it sat at the pass while waiting on my friend's burger, which was ordered medium and came out overcooked. The steak itself was seared and rare, which visually was spot on, but flavor and temperature were off. The sandwich was barely warm, heavy on onions and spread, and light on gorgonzola. I wanted more cheese, more balance, and most of all... HEAT. Even the fries were soft and lukewarm. At that point, a theme was forming. Service wasn't the issue, but a fly decided to fully commit to our table, landing on my glass and diving into the fries basket. Not the end of the world, but it didn't help. On the way out, I noticed a fly trap bag around the perimeter, which explained a lot. I'm not writing this place off. The steaks I saw going out for dinner looked excellent, and the private members only bar lounge is genuinely impressive. I'd be willing to come back in the evening and give it another shot, because the concept and space are clearly there. Lunch just didn't deliver this time.

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!!

Hi, Karen. Yes, we can make some accommodations to certain menu items. Check out our menus @ AsadoLife.com for more information.… Read more

How long did your dinner last? I want to go but have a time limit on the day I want to go

I would plan about 2 to 2.5 hours. Safe bet depending on how busy they are and how many things going on.

Always a great experience! We visited two days on a row and had Lexi take us through the spirit…read moretasting both times. What a fantastic employee! Each time we've visited we have had wonderful experiences. Everyone is always a joy to interact with. Lexi had a large group during our first visit and then just the two of us the second time. Both times we walked out with our favorite spirits and some new ones. The peanut butter whiskey is always a staple and this one is my favorite. We now have a new addition to our must-have collection, mango datil whiskey. I dont even mix these with anything as they are incredibly smooth. Can you? Sure. But why? The spirits also change out and I'm a little sad that the cookie dough whiskey will become seasonal (that one did mix well with the peanut butter and caramel). But the new key lime pie rum was delicious and the coconut rum is another favorite. Was there anything we didn't like? I am not a fan of the roasted pecan whiskey but I can appreciate why others will enjoy it. In our tasting, Lexi swapped that one out for me so I didn't miss out. The care and joy the team has is palpable and a must stop when visiting the St Augustine area. Big fan and we now stop by multiple times each visit to sample and take home our favorites. Im excited to try the new rye whiskey on a future visit. One thing to keep in mind is that the tasting used to be free and now costs $5. Personally, I don't mind since there is a $5 coupon to use in the store that can be stacked so it becomes essentially free but it's a relatively recent change (the same applies to the nearby St Augustine Distillery and San Sebastian Winery). Do I wish that this one was still free? Of course. Will it stop me from visiting? Nope. It just breaks up my purchases so I can apply the cost each time. (And it's much better than the winery which gives you a plastic cup...nice but not really repeatable.) Overall, City Gate continues to be my favorite Distillery for flavored spirits. Thanks for always providing a great experience and product! And thank you to Lexi for being awesome!

Jessica and Tanner Went in for a tasting- $5 for 10…read moredifferent shots. Jessica was really sweet she was feeding our dog treats and held our purchases until we could pick them up later. Tanner did the tasting- his description of each was spot on. We ended up getting the salted caramel (tastes like butter beer)

This is the second experience that I've had a Whiskey Cakes…read more My first was in Round Rock, Texas. Last night, was The Town center in Jax. Both were consistently amazing! The food and service were impeccable!!! Having tried both places, that enabled me to try several different dishes. My recommendations for appetizers, The fried green tomatoes, and the deviled eggs (it will be a surprise as to which one you get, they change.) we had the scallion and barbecue. The goat cheese fondue was delicious as well. I've had the steak salad for dinner as well as the Reuben. Whatever you get, you're gonna be eating well and leaving happy! As for ambiance, it's busy and fun. Which makes it loud. Not a great place for a "romantic evening" but more for a fun, laughter filled night.

The service was not very good. 3 of the four drinks were right. They got a bottled beer wrong?…read more Then we asked for another beer and when they brought it out they did not open it and it wasn't a twist top. Salad was forgotten then ran out after asking more than once. 3 Chicken melts and one my strip steak took over an hour for a restaurant that was not busy. When the food came out, only two of the four meals came out. The other two meals were delayed by more than 10 min. when they came out one of the chicken melts was wrong and the Mac and cheese (which was an up charge) was cold. The steak was brought out without a steak knife, and we had to get up to ask for one. Not to mention the waitress never checked on us. Our order consisted of: 2 Raspberry Bourbon Mules one Old forester old fashioned bottle of beer Starter was an order of deviled eggs (which were ok). For dinner 3 chicken melts and one NY Strip. On a positive note the manager came out twice to check in on us, but I promise I wont be back. No photos taken (which is a first for me) but honestly it wasn't worth my time as we obviously were not worth Whiskey Cakes Time. Update at the end the manager did come by and took items off our bill. He was very apologetic.
