Can one get the dockside table by calling after arriving for a few nights away or should we call from stateside so as not to leave anything to chance. It would be nice to be able to wait until on island so we can be sensitive to our mood, etc. Any hints????

Rebecca, in October, we got there on a Wednesday or Thursday I think and made our reservation for Saturday night for our anniversary and it was no problem. I don't know how unusual that is; but I know that they only reserve the table for one sitting per evening.

My group has had no problem with making reservations at Richard's. Our group usually has about 15 people. Unless he has "GONE FISHING" for the week.

We just got back from Bonaire Had a terrific time. The 2nd night there we were driving over to Divi Resort for a look see,(we were staying at Capt Don's) about 5p.
On the Way we stopped into Richard's and asked them if they had a table for that evening !
She had a table available on the outside at 7p or 8p > We came back and had Dinner at 7p !
we were lucky I guess to get that table that evening like that ! We both had the local fish dinner. Was excellent !
enjoy!
We also ate at Giorgio's (spelling) which was ok and reasonable.
Rosie's in Rincon a must !
local fish dinner, along with Beef stew from out of this world !
Pizza Bon was decent. Great salad there though!

I would call stateside for that table and according to Richard, has to be a special occasion .

What's easier, getting into the mood, or getting the one seating per night, on the dock at Richard's? His tel fm the US: 011-599-717-5263, any day after 5:30, except Mondays.
