Just read the dining guide and could not find Richard's. We we were there a year ago Dec. and the meals were awesome. BTB on the 20th of April and was looking forward to another great meal

Richard doesn't advertise in it. He is still there and the food is awesome! Will be in Bonaire for 2 weeks in July-We have already made reservations for the dock.

do you have his e-mail address?

Roy, Richard doesn't use the internet. Wow, I didn't think anybody didn't do that!
His phone # is 717-5263. Hope that helps... Ron

Richard is in the process of getting an e mail address...for the past year! He uses out service pretty much and I do pass on email, reservations, etc. to him. info@chatnbrowse.com
No, he does not advertise in any publications..it seems to work fine for him.

Thanks Ron, just sent you an e-mail

What are his hours and which night is he closed?

Never got a email from you Roy?

He's open 6-10pm, Tues-Sun (closed Mon). He still has & uses a TYPEWRITER.

Ruth, that made me laugh! I do enjoy Richards for the food and he is just a funny guy, but he uses a TYPEWRITER??????? hahahahahaha.
My kids recently saw one and asked "what is that"?

No ROSANNE - not that. I was so proud of my Selectric typewrite in college - this one could "erase" about 10 spaces back. DANG was it a smart machine.

YoMO! I had a selectric too! My dad bought it for me and was so proud giving it to me. Technology at it's best!

I'm amazed he can still find ribbons for it. Or, knowing Richard, he's using the same one over & over, just rewinding it...
;-)

Ya kno wut? Seems lak Richard is one smart fella.

Thanks for the info. What are the can't miss items on his menu?

I always opt for the filet mignon that resembles a small roast. Melt in your mouth tender and flavor beyond description. But then, I'm a real carnivore.

Don't make fun of Richard. He uses a computer very well and is thinking very strongly about what his email address should be...any ideas...

That's only because he wants to buy old stuff on E-Bay. (Like typewriter ribbons.)

How's about: RichardsBonaire@..... RichardsRestaurantBonaire, RichardsSeacoastRestaurant, RichardsCarribbean...
(the last 2 names are directly from his own sign-and yes, he knows Caribbean is misspelled).

I favor his steaks too.

It's all in good fun, I remember Richard way back when from the Divi and he made me laugh the very first time I met him! I'll have to put some thought into his e-mail address...just off the top of my head how about: www.richardsislandflava.com

How about this Doryann@comcast.net and fill in the local ISP

Ron I sent the e-mail to Micheal Gaynor mentioned your name in error. Sent a second e-mail tonight hopefully he will get one of them. We are looking for the dock table for five either Tuesday the 22nd or Wed. the 23, arriving around 8:30pm. We are staying at the Divi Flamingo arriving late on the 20th. Any help would be much appreciated. Not sure if this is the correct process but it is the only avenue available. Like RosAnne's suggestion for an e-mail address. Maybe after a week in paradise I will leave Richard my Blackberry with me firmly attached.

Got your e mail...

richard@richardsbonaire.com (net biz whatever, they are all available)

HI Micheal any response on the reservations?

I gave him a print out of your request. He has not been in since but I will follow through.

Thanks much, we are leaving North Bay Ont. Canada heading to Toronto tonight arriving Bonaire late tomorrow night, if possible Richard could leave a confirmation message at the Divi Flamingo in my name. Can't wait to get wet. Did a dive here yesterday, water temp 2C, went out under the ice from the dock in front of my house. Maybe I should set up a web cam, become Bonaire north. Thanks for your help.

Just a little "heads up," re: Richard's pier table-he usually doesn't take more than 4 out there. He might make an exception...

How about bonluddite@whatever.com?

We've always had wonderful fish dinners at Richard's and the shrimp primavera is delicious! The atmosphere is just lovely and Richard is a very friendly and entertaining guy. Carol

When I read your reviews of Richard's I think that my wife and I must have eaten there on his only bad night last year. The food was only fair and definitely not a restaurant I'd return to or refer someone else to.

Richard is on vacation for 3 weeks. He was on my flight from BON to ATL this past Saturday.

I agree with Bill on the place. Not bad but not good either. The cooking is very basic without much flavor.

Richard is always on vacation- between that sailbbat- the boston whaler- the antique pick up trucks- and Montana- pretty soon we will have to go to Mazula TO GET A GOOD MEAL !

Bummer, I guess he won't be there for our dinner on the 27th. Was hoping to meet him.
