Woody's Wharf now open

Woody's Wharf opened Monday in the Thea's Landing location vacated by Blue Olive, the swank martini bar that sunk last year.

Woody's looks and feels a lot like the old Blue Olive. Except for removing a table or two, the only real décor change is bar that's no longer the coolest in town. That ice floe that once ringed the bar wasn't there when I stopped in this week.

Woody's menu includes steaks, burgers, seafood and salads. I definitely like the lunch hours: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. daily Woody is open for dinner Sundays-Thursdays 5:-9:30 p.m. and Fridays-Saturdays 5-11 p.m. Lunch prices are $7.95-$13.95. Dinners run $15.50-$29.95.

Woody's Wharf principal, Coy Woods, previously owned the Best Western Executive Inn in Fife, plus "specialty" restaurants in Utah and Idaho.

Woody's Wharf: 1715 Dock St., Tacoma; 253-272-1433.
