We will be in Bonaire the first week of September and would like to celebrate my wife's birthday with dinner at Richards. I have heard that they close in September. Can anyone verify this and how would I contact them to make a reservation?

Dave - I think you will survive, there are so many other great options. Richard's gets my vote for the most overrated restaurant on the island.

Dave, of course you will! You now have the opportunity to explore!

Ron, I asked Richard last night when he was closing for vacation in September, and he said Labor Day - so you might want to give him a call and see if he is open when you first arrive.

Folks, Dave is a one restaurant kind of guy you know, NEVER would he explore other restaurants (well, maybe to KFC)...but Dave, remember, I'm one up on ya in the employment line at KFC

Ok, I'm here-of course I've been watching this thread. And thinking about Dave's less than adventurous eating habits (i.e., anything beyond beef, chicken or pizza). Dave, didn't you avoid Richard's for years (till I dragged your butts there) because you feared he served only seafood (which you despise)? If Richard follows his usual pattern: he'll be closed from Sept 1-22. They'll probably re-open on the 23rd, but w/o Richard-he'll be back around Sept 30.

Ya.... like KFC actually has a "list" of new hires. I figure it's pretty much show up and get a job!

We were on island last year for our 10th wedding anniversary and had hoped to have Richards as our big dinner on the 27th of Sept but they weren't open.

By ***Boat Chick*** (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5872) on Thursday, July 10, 2008 - 11:39 pm: |
Dave, remember, it's also about working ALL of the holidays, Regatta, Carnival, etc. I have to ask, do you have your own transportation? I do...and Michael is willing to watch the kids too
|
By Dave Goodwin (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #266) on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 10:24 am: |
BC - I guess that's the determining factor. I don't work holidays...... especially not on Bonaire.
|
By Tom (Maybe) (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #17241) on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 11:23 am: |
Moderators, please remove this thread before the "Smackster" reads it. He likes eating at Richards and will probably grumble for two weeks straight in September
|
By ***Boat Chick*** (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5883) on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 11:23 am: |
David...when I told the gal I would work all holidays, she did look at me funny...now I know why.
|
By Dave Goodwin (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #267) on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 11:49 am: |
I doubt Ruth would let us have anything for FREE!

By Brian* (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #3942) on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 12:13 pm: |
Boom Floris and Isador are great chefs. We always ask them to do a special meal for us and it is always great and a surprise.
|
By Jerry (BonaireTalk Deity - Post #11750) on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 12:20 pm: |
Brian, you have become such a food snob.
|
By Ruth van Tilburg (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #878) on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 7:02 pm: |
There's a difference between crazy and stupid. So I've heard... Polars are not free, chicken is (2 pieces + fries + Pepsi = employee meal).
|
By Dave Goodwin (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #272) on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 8:04 pm: |
How long can a peron live off of an "employee meal?"
|
By Ruth van Tilburg (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #879) on Friday, July 11, 2008 - 9:14 pm: |
I think you are in spirit.

Dang, no free Polars? Dave, I think we need to seriously rethink this whole KFC work exchange program...I always get the chicken wrap and a polar, it would be hard to have to switch to another meal, and not have beer to boot....
|
By Dave Goodwin (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #276) on Thursday, July 17, 2008 - 11:37 am: |
BC, I already have re-thought the KFC gig and am now officially withdrawing my application. If I can't start at manager, then I won't work. I'd rather start at "owner", but Ruth has that one pretty well handled.....

Oh jeez you two--is "tired" a nickname?

Nope-M&C was one of my favorites, but not enough demand. Sorry!

"Deep Fried on Bonaire"....Dave, I'm calling FOX today and pitching it. I'll give you credit for the idea, but I want producer rights...that would mean I'd have to have an "extended" stay on bonaire to assure things went smoothly. You can have co-producer rights if you want. We'd probably have to make Ruth "Mrs. Fried Chicken - Executive Producer" though, it would only be fair.

Oh gross, Krispy Kremes fried together with chicken? Gag indeed! What a waste of both KK's AND chicken! I'll tell Ry-Anne & Anuska you said hey. All I need to say is "the other crazy-American-seniora" and they know who I mean. (Dave's the "big-loco-Americano.")
|
By Dave Goodwin (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #284) on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 11:36 am: |
Could you specify what they mean by "big"?
|
By ***Boat Chick*** (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #5995) on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 1:15 pm: |
Dave, well, you can share the producer byline if you like. Having my own business years ago, and since Michael went out on his own four and a half years ago, I know all too well the "no paycheck" thing. When Michael gives me a check, I just about faint. I sort of want to frame it, kiss it, lick it, I want it all. Brings me to tears at times.

By Ruth van Tilburg (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #894) on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 2:28 pm: |
Dave, you're tall, and project a grand personna. And the beard makes your head look big.

By Ruth van Tilburg (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #895) on Friday, July 18, 2008 - 3:17 pm: |
Hey, I'm just taking a guess at why they call you that. I think it's a good guess...

You always make me smile chicken lady.
