They started out just off of Olde St. and then moved to Front St. before moving to Simpson Bay. I know in 1991 they were at the original location and then moved to Front St. some time after that as we first went there off a cruise ship then.
I had an old email from Ric with the details and dates of the moves but it disappeared when my old system bite the dust. I stay in touch with Kathy some, she is remarried and lives between North Carolina and Florida.

Had lots of fun at Ric’s back then very busy good food ,can’t figure out why they ever moved They moved as virtually all their business was cruise ship based so you had very little breakfast trade or evening trade in town. Moving to Simpson Bay gave them the chance to serve all day long and not rely basically on the cruise crowd.

Location, location, location? Nothing ever really made it in the Simpson Bay spot, at least not at ground level.......
Wendell sure has evoked some memories with these photos of earlier island days.

Were at the Great Bay location in ‘93 & ‘94. Moved to Simpson Bay sometime after Luis, if I recall correctly. We really liked Ric’s in both locations. But time marches on and businesses come and go.

It's empty. Golden eyes, which is now Red Diamond is above. Nothing has worked there since Ric's place gone. Bonita's Cantina was pretty bad.

Nice people, but we too didn't care for Bonita's the time we went to it. Got to talking to the owner about Ric's and he came out with 5 Ric's tank tops that he had in the back room and gave them to us which was super nice of him. Anybody remember "Coconuts" which was in this location for a couple years before Ric's?
