During the warm, sunny days, we love restaurants with outdoor dining and water views. Nicky’s fills the bill, with lots of outdoor dining and views of the Bay Shore Marina and Great South Bay. Watching the Fire Island Ferries coming and going, along with all of the other boats, makes for a lovely experience.

Nicky’s was one of our favorites during Covid, due to the extensive information on their website about what they were doing to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Located at the back end of the Bay Shore Marina, there is pay parking unless you have an accessible placard and are able to find one of the accessible parking spaces.  There are six of those spaces close to the entrance and others farther away. A brick walkway leads to the open, street-level, entrance. The indoor dining, has ample space to navigate. The full-height bar is quite long. 

We chose to sit outside, and were willing to wait for a table along the rail, close to the water.  The wait is definitely worth it, giving us a front row seat to the comings and goings of the boats. Take not that there is a lower section for outdoor seating, requiring four steps down to it. Make sure to tell the host/hosess of any needs you may have.  There is also a rooftop bar (many steps up) which must have a great view. Perhaps we will try it next time!

All of the servers we have had on our visits have been delightful. Today was no exception. Everyone seems happy to be working here and wants to make sure the patrons enjoy their visits. I am always happy when we don’t have to ask for water, and it just seems to appear as needed. All of our lunch choices were delicious. 

The multi-stall restrooms have a large, accessible stall and accessible sinks. There is a baby- changing station in the accessible stall. 

As always, we at Destination Accessible, advise you to check a venue’s website, www.nickysonthebay.com, when planning a visit, to “know more before you go.” 

PS. Nicky’s is seasonal. It closes for the winter.
