Yesterday my family and I had a nice dinner out on Sikly's deck. The deck is quite large and had a bunch of tables in the shade so you're not in direct sunlight (there's table in direct sunlight if you want them). At 5:00pm it wasn't very crowded and there were a bunch of children and babies around. We had a tremendous view of the river. Inside they have a great bar shuffleboard table.
We were all very happy with our dinners. The menu has a bunch of different sandwiches, entrees, burgers, and pasta dishes. There were definitely more upscale selections than a typical bar. We started with apps of coconut shrimp and oysters on the half shell. The coconut shrimp was very tasty and we loved how it was served in in coconut shell. I also had a Crab Louie salad that was very good. My brother had salmon oscar and said it was good too.
The beer selection was rather limited, but they did have Dogfish 60 minute on draft. I don't think there was too much in the way of wines. Regardless, if you're looking for an outdoor river-view spot in the summer with good food, you can't go wrong with Sikly's Crows Nest. It's also very family and child friendly. We will definitely come again.
