Does that include the heritage building or just the NV?

Hmmm...for all of these years I thought it was Donna and Giorgios.

wow, think of the beachfront property you could by with that dough!

keep laughing, but it is oceanfront property...i

right, I haven't thought of it, indeed, i stand corrected!
|
By Jeanine aka Jah-neen (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #9257) on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 11:45 am: |
I always wondered why it was considered oceanfront property when that ugly pier blocks the view. Oh well...I wish them well.
|
By Sparty (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #267) on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 12:02 pm: |
Is it really "ocean front" or is it "ocean view".
|
By Tom Schamp (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #402) on Monday, December 21, 2009 - 12:08 pm: |
It's across the street from the ocean in a harbor zone.
|
By michael gaynor (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #3933) on Tuesday, December 22, 2009 - 9:29 am: |
The customs pier will eventually move elsewhere. The property is prime for a condo/apt. project. Part of it is leased land and part owned. With the right connections, someone could also aquire the land that is used for containers and (perish the thought) build another monstrosity to add a blight to the shoreline.

OH no..I love that place, esp. when they have the music and it's right next to the Divi. And Cactus Blue is on the market too!!

By MONTY FORBESS (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #222) on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 - 5:34 pm: |
Shucks our favorite spot..any idea what they plan on doing?...maybe just moving again?

By lisa z (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #306) on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 - 10:16 pm: |
Personally, I think that many businesses see the writing on the wall, and realize that real estate is becoming prime on Bonaire. I think in the next 5 to 10 years you are going to see many more condos built in these areas.

Unfortunately what you say is true...

I just love Donna, and Donna & Giorgio's is my fave restaurant!!!! I wish them luck in whatever they decide to do in their future!!!
|
By Diane and Bea (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #577) on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - 10:04 am: |
Our favorite also. We also wish them luck. We have such a good time when we go there to eat
|
By Andy Bryant (BonaireTalker - Post #85) on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - 4:31 pm: |
Are they still open? (Donna & Giorgios) We have reservations there for the 16th.
|
By Ruth van Tilburg (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1193) on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - 5:09 pm: |
Yes-they are open, and as far as I know, have no plans to close (other than vacation/days off). It has been on the market for awhile already. Just because a restaurant is for sale does not mean it's closing!
|
By Andy Bryant (BonaireTalker - Post #86) on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - 5:28 pm: |
Understood. I am a business person myself. A business that is being sold because they are not generating enough revenue will eventually run out of cash, be unable to make payroll and pay bills and will have to close. There was no mention of why they were selling. Selling to go into retirement and selling because you're out of working capital are 2 different things. Are they selling because the value of the property has gone up and thus the rent factor? Do they own the property? It's none of my business why they're closing. I just want to know if I need to make other plans for dinner in 2 weeks. :-)

By Andy Bryant (BonaireTalker - Post #88) on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - 5:50 pm: |
Sorry Ruth. Looking at your profile I see you must have a firm understanding of the restaurant business. :-)
|
By Ruth van Tilburg (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1196) on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - 6:22 pm: |
No problem Andy--been here since 1990--have seen a lot. D&G has been for sale for (if memory serves) at least a year, maybe longer. I believe they just want to move on, and it has been a good time to sell, that's all. IMO, there's too much drama in the above threads. If you were going to sell, wouldn't you want to take advantage of a seller's market? Ask them yourself-you'll see them in 2+ weeks.
|
By *Tink* (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1525) on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - 9:40 pm: |
i have to agree as well...why do people assume that a place is closing just cause it's for sale. and in case you want to know, probably EVERY restaurant on Bon is for sale if you want to buy it...
|
By Ruth van Tilburg (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1199) on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 - 9:52 pm: |
Ah Tink...you hit the nail on the head!

Hey, lighten up!

By michael gaynor (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #3949) on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - 8:53 am: |
Like Seinfeld or Oprah, when you are at your peak is a good time to "sell" D & G are one of the best and have been for years.
|
By **Jim Mc **-- But you can all me Link (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #2735) on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - 1:48 pm: |
I'm for sale too if anyone wants to buy me and take me to Bonaire.
|
By Lizard0924 (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #374) on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - 2:10 pm: |
Make that reservation for six people and we will join you.
|
By Andy Bryant (BonaireTalker - Post #92) on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - 3:13 pm: |
Great. But I thought you guys get in on Saturday the 16th. We're not leaving til Sunday the 17th so we could change that Friday reservation to Saturday night the 16th.
|
By Lizard0924 (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #375) on Wednesday, December 30, 2009 - 3:23 pm: |
Oh sorry, I thought your OP said the 16th (Sat.). We can definitely be there Saturday night, but Friday night we will will be killing time with a few libations and delicious food at Pappadeux's at the Houston airport.

I agree with Jim, we stayed at the Shore Residence which is just a couple of houses from D&G. Sometimes it was sooo loud outside, that we couldn't understand each others words at the table. Lots of traffic, these awful loud motorcycles every night till late (is Henk Kamp planning to do anything about this?)but a wonderful view and very close to town, almost in town. Great place to stay though...
