We have been here a handful of times and every time the food has been wonderful. Had the wings today as part of the Sunday Funday menu and they were phenomenal. Love being able to just dock the boat and walk up. A little disappointed by the lack of changing tables in the men’s restroom. My husband has been here before with our daughter and he had to change her diaper in the back of the car. Definitely not ideal or inclusive. Our server Marisa was 10/10, so sweet and attentive! Great experience overall! Just wish they would address the changing table problem.Kid-friendliness: We sat inside, and the area is pretty kid friendly. Another child was seated right next to us and my daughter was having a blast making faces at her. However, we wish there was a changing table in the men’s room as well.

Very very expensive. They say it's 5 courses, but they count the bread as one course. The waitstaff were very attentive and very nice, but the time it took to get our food was super long, not something that I would want to "experience" again, 2 hours to finish dinner. The food was good, but nothing to write home about and certainly not for the price we had to pay ahead of time. Overall, very strange.

As always great food and ambience. It took almost an hour for some in our group to get drinks though. Server not very attentive. Steak was a bit undercooked this time. For the price, should be better. Will give them another try.

Stephanie took care of us. I had a terrific asado cooler Then I tried the fish and chips since the catch was flounder. Delicious. Had with the potato salad, my favorite instead of chips. We sat inside but the deck would have been great at 70 degrees.

Everything at Asado was spectacular, romantic, delicious, and more EXCEPT for one thing, which I'll get to at the end. We arrived about 15 minutes before seating to check in and grab a drink from the bar. All of the drinks were fabulous as were the bartenders in the main inside dining area. Shortly after receiving our drinks, we were escorted to our table with a beautiful view of the water and a stone slab with our name handwritten on it. Dinner was remarkable with a delicious selection of apps and a divine house salad with the most delicious dressing I think I've ever had. The main attraction (for us, the Tomahawk) was fantastic. My girlfriend enjoyed it as it was though I would have preferred a minute or 2 longer on the grill for a harder sear. Regardless, it was still delicious. Our waiter was attentive, engaging, and personable as he got to know us and we learned about him. My only knock on an otherwise stellar experience was with the chairs. For a 2 hour dining extravaganza, I cannot understand why they chose those chairs specifically. It seems to be a well known complaint since our waiter told us the regulars bring their own seat cushions. Uncomfortable would be an understatement, with painful being a more accurate descriptor. My girlfriend and I are on the heavier side of the spectrum and we were uncomfortable about 30 minutes in. An otherwise 5 star experience, knocked down a peg solely because of how uncomfortable that seating was. I will definitely be back, but next go around, I'm bringing some padding.

Fabulous seating area, but tacky facade approaching the building from the parking lot. Excellent tasting food, but ~20% over-priced. Should you really have to ask for ketchup when you order fries?

What to say but WOW! The most amazing meal we’ve ever had in Florida! It’s a must visit. Locals secret, show up early and sit at the bar, no reservations!

Awesome experience! I had a cocktail and burger. I like my burgers medium rare so it didn't bother me at all. But if you like your burgers more well done make sure you request it.

Okay so let me start by first saying I have not eaten here yet because of the strange business model! We thought we try it only to find out that you have to plan ahead for your dining experience? I'm not in the restaurant business but I got to tell you I saw a half a dozen people being turned away that wanted to try your restaurant. It reminds me of the people that own the business originally that closed for lunch on the weekends and turned hundreds of boaters away while they have a restaurant on the water? I'm sure the food is fantastic I just didn't get a chance to taste any of it. Change this stupid business model in my opinion

Three of us went for lunch; second time! It was just as fabulous as our first visit. We had lunch as before and chose differently. All of our choices were outstanding from the meats to the homemade brioche buns. The sides were very tasty as well. Hope to go for dinner in the near future and cannot wait to go back for lunch again. Oh, and their cocktails topped it off perfectly!

Forty minute drive to get there. Second time there after having a fabulous lunch with great food and the food came out right away. This time, food took close to 45 minutes even though it was only a few people around, mid-afternoon on a Saturday. Service was good, food was ok. Salad had no taste even though the server said the vinaigrette dressing was excellent. Chicken salad was ok, nothing special. Trio sampler was very good.
