Cactus Blue and Richards are not open any longer.
Wil's Grill and City Cafe' are reputable; I like to get Barracuda at Wil's. Bon Appetite has Chinese food that's a good value compared to food prices at restaurants on the island in general. Pasa Bon Pizza is pretty well liked (I had fish pizza there), although some people really dig the pizza at Captain Don's Habitat. It Rains Fishes is good but pricy.

Donna & Giorgios - great lunch. Have not been able to get a reservation for dinner (only on Fri). If you want to do dinner call on your first day.
El Mundo - wide variety. We usually eat here two or three times a trip. Something for everyone.
Incredibles - great view from the roof tables. We like the steak and pasta dishes.
Casablanca - Bring a appetite and try the mixed grill. Terrific steaks.
My opinion - don't waste money on pizza anywhere, you will be disappointed.

My favorite places in order
Appetite - get the chef's choice
At Sea - everything is great here. Make a reservation though.
Tipsy Seagull (at Plaza Resort) - also like the chef's choice here
Mona Lisa - big fan of the tuna tar tar and also the seared tuna entree
On the weekends try the BBQ at Bobbie Jans.
For great local fare try El Fogon Latino, Rose inn (lunch) and Maicky Snack (lunch). Rose Inn and Maicky Snack have excellent goat stew. You might need directions to Maicky Snack though as it is in the middle of the kunuku/bush
I find that the food varies drammatically on Bonaire depending on where you go. The prices do not though so you can pay the same price for a great meal as you would for something mediocre.
Aside from the Tipsy Seagull, i usually avoid the resorts for food.

Trip Advisor has reviews for Cactus Blue as recent as May 2012. When did they close?
