I love steak, though I find myself not eating it as often as I would like. Therefore, I decided to fix that. I visited two steak restaurants, each vastly different from the other. I went to The Steakhouse, in Wells, and Bonissoni, in Ogunquit.
The Steakhouse is a popular restaurant. They’re only open for dinner, and they don’t accept reservations, so be prepared to wait a bit before you’re seated. There is ample parking and two floors available for seating. Despite The Steakhouse’s size, there is still a cozy and intimate feeling to the eatery. There is a massive drink menu available for patrons of all ages. There are draft beers and beer in bottles and cans. Furthermore, there are wines, cocktails, and frozen drinks. The food menu is just as big as well. There are soups, appetizers, salads, steak, and seafood that can be purchased.
On my first visit to The Steakhouse, I decided to sample some appetizers. I settled on having four different dishes. I ordered a cup of lobster stew, steakhouse cheese fries, boneless buffalo wings, and the mussels. For my second trip, I ordered the filet mignon with a side of French fries and Caesar salad. My meals were delicious, and I would recommend everything. The Steakhouse does close down for a month or so, so make sure to check their website before you make the trip.
Bonissoni was a different experience. Bonissoni is a Brazilian Steakhouse, which means that the servers walk around the restaurant with skewers of meat. They place the skewer onto the table and ask if you want a slice of meat. If you say yes, then the server will cut a piece of meat off and place it onto your plate. Bonissoni has a large menu as well. There are cocktails, desert drinks, non-alcoholic drinks, as well as a selection of wines. Furthermore, there are a number of sides that customers can order, ranging from French fries to Caesar salads. Like The Steakhouse, Bonissoni is cozy and intimate, making for a great visit.
My experience eating at two superb restaurants meant that I had a great meal. I’ve spoken before about the versatility of Maine’s restaurant scene, and I know I’m far from finished eating my way through all that Maine has to offer.

As it happens, I know exactly where I’m going.
