We are heading out to dinner in about an hour or so. Does anyone know a great seafood place?

Adam if you are still in Bonaire...head to Richards! Great lobster, but you need a reservation. Enjoy your trip!

We went to Richards and it was awesome. My wife loved it so much we are going back tonight. I don't know why this place is not mentioned more!

Does Richards require reservations now? On our past 6 trips there, we never had to have one nor wait for a table.

Hey there Jeanine.

Thanks so much for checking on this for me. You probably do know better than I, but I do appreciate you verifying this. So can you answer the reservations question? Do we or do we not need them there? Was I just really unlucky with our failed attempts to get a table or is it best to just make the reservation there and not worry about it?

I think his policy is that he takes reservations for 6+ people, not less (unless that too has changed). I'm also pretty sure he's not open for lunch anymore--but, if you have a large group, I'm sure he'd be willing to discuss it with you. If your party is less than 6, try getting there when he's opening, around 5:30-hang out & have a drink at the bar, and when he starts table service at 6pm, you'll be set. Or just eat at the bar.

Probably "best to just make a reservation and not worry about it" ! But we have also eaten there with no reservation and even had a table by the water. We always eat early, though. I also didn't know about Lunch at Richard's.

Thanks Annette! Your information helps a lot. We are traveling with our nephew this trip, so the less snags the better. It is always different traveling with someone else's kid.

Is it possible to get a reservation for the 'special spot' at the end of the pier at Richards sometime during the week of Aug 6-13? My husband and I will be celebrating our 18th anniversary in Bonaire that week. Our newly PADI certified 14 y.o. son will be with us, so we need a table for 3. I know I would love lobster by the ocean, and the description of that special spot sounds wonderful! Do I need to call long distance, or is there some other way to make a reservation? Although our anniversary is the 9th, I think our last night there, the 12th would be a perfect time for such a special dinner, if it is available. Time would be very flexible.

Hi Martha. I just spoke to Richard and he's reserved the pier for 3 persons - 12th of August. It's yours for the night so time is up to you - go whenever you like :-) Have a wonderful time !
