While we were on Bonaire we noticed that the 't ankertje was reopening with new owners on July 12.Unfortunately we left the island before the opening.This was one of our favorites and missed it on our last trip.Any comments from anyone who has tried it since the reopening?I saw what looked like the new menu and it appeared that the menu items didn't change much.The one change I did notice was the fantastic escargo wasn't on the new menu I saw.Bummer!!

Based on our dining experience there a couple days after the new owners reopened the place, I'd recommend giving them a few more weeks to get the hang of things - they were still trying to get comfortable in the flow of things, such as the small kitchen, filling orders, etc., but we believe that all this will be running smoothly soon.

The food was good and the ribs "Gerben's Way" are pretty much on the mark with what used to be served, but things were disorganized.

The escargot dish has been replaced with "Swiss Dream", where tenderloin has replaced the snails. Quite tasty (although not snails, of course).

We'll go back some time in August and write a complete review for the Bonaire E-News and will post a copy here as well.
