- LLisaToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined on Apr 21, 2026Excellent service and the food was outstanding. We shared the tuna carpaccio, ceviche, and octopus carpaccio amongst 4 of us followed by filet mignon, French cut lamb and chateaubriand. The only slight disappointment was that there wasn’t more octopus as it was very thinly shaved and a bit hard to taste relative to the red onion etc topping. The other 2 appies were very generous and all three were easily split amongst the 4 of us. And it was the beat chateaubriand we’ve ever had! Highly highly recommend that! The wine seemed expensive relative to the cost of the food (which is not inexpensive but so delicious it’s worth it) so we only ordered one bottle and each had a mixed drink instead which were all excellent. The pool waterfall provided excellent ambient noise and we couldn’t hear anyone’s conversations. And the smoked Negroni (done expertly at our table) was super fun to watch. We also loved the additional touches of the amuse bouche, palate cleanser and mini desert. If you’re looking to have one special night out while you’re here and have a little bit of money for a treat, I highly recommend. We spent $540 Canadian (not including tip) which is by far the most we’ve ever spent on a family meal out but it was so special and absolutely no regrets!More infoMaria Bonita Steak House$$$$• Steakhouse• Alajuela•4.5
