    Mashed potatoes, Cesar salad, polenta fries, fried yucca
    Heidi S.

    We visit Ogunquit a few times each year and had heard good things about Bonissoni. Our meal here was ok, but if you have been to other Brazilian Steakhouses, you might feel the same way we did - it was fine, but not really a standout. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our server explained that we could choose sides off of the menu, and that they recommend 2-3 sides. We chose polenta fries, yucca flour with bacon, mashed potatoes, and Cesar Salad. The salad and mashed potatoes were very good, the yucca flour never arrived - lukewarm yucca fries arrived instead, and the polenta fries were cold and not very crisp. It took awhile for the meat servers to come to us, but we enjoyed the breads while waiting. As is typical in Brazilian restaurants, the meats are the star of the show. We enjoyed ribeye, sirloin, garlic steak, and my favorite was the beef rib. My husband also liked the salmon, and we passed on the pork and bacon wrapped chicken although they both looked good. I felt that even with the red/green table card system, the meat service took too long, and we often had to signal to get the servers' attention even though our cards were turned to green. The same was true for refills of sides and water. It was very late in the meal before additional sides were offered, even though our side dishes were empty for quite awhile, and my husband's empty water glass was never refilled. We were at Bonissoni for about 1.5 hours and hadn't yet been offered the grilled pineapple that other people mentioned. I thought that maybe it wasn't part of the menu any more, but when we asked for our check, our server asked if we had tried the pineapple, and when we expressed interest in it, it arrived shortly afterwards and was delicious. We never saw cheese with honey, so maybe that item is no longer offered. The positives of Bonissoni were the tender and flavorful meats, and the pleasant dining room. The downsides were the cold sides, the length of time it took for meat service, and the lackluster service in general. I was curious about Bonissoni, but having now tried it, it is unlikely that I'll go back and I have had much better experiences at other Brazilian steakhouses.

    Greeted immediately and warmly upon arrival the restaurant is very clean, stylish and inviting. Our waitress Paula was superb, very friendly and informative and was always right there without hovering. The food was delicious, the meats were so fresh and cooked well and not salty as most Brazilian steak houses are. I would've preferred more cheese bread, but that's on me for not asking. I def didn't leave hungry and had no room for dessert

    We had a delicious dinner and we will be back! Thank you.

    Our first time visiting and it will not be there last! Delicious food, deserts and drinks.

    Had a great dinner here. Reserved for 8pm in the Wyeth room, but when I arrived there was not a…read moretable ready there and so I was provided a seat in the bar area instead. No big deal, I was a party of one, and they were quite busy on the Saturday night that I went. Service is impeccable, really no complaints there. The food came out fast, even though they were quite busy. The food was great as well, though I wasn't a particularly big fan of the wood-fired beets (if you like horseradish on beet, you would like them). Fried oysters were great, I mean really good. Spaghetti with guanciale is absolutely incredible; key lime pie similarly amazing. Overall, I'll be back here. Plan to spend at least $50 per person. What a great location.

    Choice for Dinner, skip the Holidays…read more We came here once before and had a really good experience, which is why we decided to book a 2:00 PM reservation to celebrate Mother's Day. We understood it would be a limited holiday brunch menu instead of the regular dinner menu, which was fine. However, by the time we sat down to order, almost all of the options were already sold out. Our entire table basically had to order the exact same thing because there was nothing else left. The space is lovely and it's a nice spot for a regular dinner, but they were definitely not equipped for the holiday rush. Don't go for Mother's Day.

Walking in, we saw a cosmo being served at the outdoor bar and knew we had to have one of those. We sat inside at the bar and got cosmos in a large martini glass, filled to the rim and delicious. The Bartender Meg, was awesome, she had a great personality, friendly and a real pro. She took our order and brought us some focaccia bread that was warm and more dense than usual, but, still soft ...with olive oil drizzled on it. Nice. I got Lobster and Shrimp Alla Vodka (Sautéed Maine Lobster, jumbo shrimp served with pappardelle pasta in alla vodka sauce) it was excellent. Pasta nice and soft, the way I like it, with large shrimp and pieces of lobster, just a great dish. My wife got Seafood risotto alla Milanese (Fresh ME lobster meat, jumbo shrimp and scallops in Saffron Creamy risotto) it was also super tasty and savory with lots of seafood in it. Honestly, where we sat we could see everything coming out of the kitchen and it all looked amazing! My wife got a follow up drink ...white sangria that came out in a beautiful very large glass. We were very happy with our decision to go here and will definitely be back. Also, met the owner Charlie, who came by to check on us...a very nice guy. Thank you for a wonderful meal and very positive experience.

The Bad: The wait: seated a half hour past our reservation, another 30 to order, an hour from ordering to receiving our meals.

Fish was cooked well and the pieces were quite thick. Large portion. Seafood chowder also has a generous about of seafood. Barely any potatoes. Staff are friendly.

    Best. Nachos. In. Maine. End. Of. Story…read more I go there every Friday, and always order the nachos with chicken. They are like a drug to me. I'm not even exaggerating. The service is always great, and the food is always great. We live close by, so we can smell the steak tips grilling and just follow our nose over there like a cartoon smelling an apple pie on a window sill. Sometimes a wait in the summer, but that's a good sign, no? Cool inside, with tons of Boston sports memorabilia and a game on pretty much every one of their 15+(?) TVs. Honorable mention orders: -Nachos -Burger -Steak tips -Baked stuffed shrimp -Prime rib -Chicken parm (pasta or sub) -Hear me out, the side salad (???) -Fried haddock (as is or via sandwich) -Pretzels with cheese -Stuffed mushrooms -Again, the nachos I honestly could just copy and paste the menu here, but that's already available online. We love it, and will be back as often as possible until the end of time.
