It's your day. They have roughly 6 tables with a bench and stools on one side and then roughly 12-16 seat bar. Very lovely decorated and great bar vibes. Little bit more of an elevated bar vibe for sure due to their delicious martini menu. Ordered lemon drop martinis, spicy Paloma, Carijillo. All were great. So good that a second round was ordered. They are well known for their espresso martinis (fresh espresso brewed for each one). They also have a full bar. Food - yep! Full package here. Munched on apps. Ordered the steak toast (get this), calamari, and crab deviled eggs. All were delicious. They even have some free goldfish to share while waiting or if only drinking. Prices aren't bad. Service is terrific. Shout out to Anthony! Holding down the entire place and also being very attentive. Greta place to swing in for some great craft cocktail options and delicious food.

Swung through here for lunch after some work meetings in Easton, Maryland and didn't regret…read more The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the food (Caesar salad with crabcake and dynamite shrimp) was tasty.

Introduction on Dewey Beach trip:…read more Representing 2023, W is for Woody's. In September 2023, I was on a group beach trip at a house in Dewey Beach a close walk to Woody's. I stayed for 3 nights. The timing of this trip ended up being good for three reasons: 1. Three weeks earlier I had surgery for cancer on Tuesday, 8/15/23. I was not aloud to go in pool, beach, or bathtub for exactly 3 weeks. My community pool's last day for the season was Labor Day Monday, 9/4/23 (2 weeks 6 days after my surgery), which kind of sucked because that kissed going to my community pool the rest of the season or any other pool parties. About a week earlier, my friend convinced me to go on the trip saying there was availability in the house during the Monday to Friday part. Ultimately, I decided to take off work on that Tuesday and worked from the house on Wednesday, but I had a great time on the trip that I decided to extend to Thursday doing the same working at the house. And I was able to fully enjoy the beach on Tuesday, 9/5 exactly 3 weeks later with no issues. As well as the other 2 days to lesser extent as I had work too. 2. DC/Maryland was experiencing an intense September heat wave with temperatures in the upper 90's; so it was great timing to escape to the beach where temps there were still pretty hot as high as low 90's. 3. Most importantly, I met my girlfriend of now 2 years on this trip! We were friends for several months, but then dating started in February 2024. Experience with Woody's: If I hadn't extended my trip into Thursday, I wouldn't have tried Woody's. I was tired of leftovers after Tuesday & Wednesday night; I decided to go to Woody's for dinner. I called in the order, walked over didn't have to wait long, and took back. Friends looked a little jealous. I got the crab cake sandwich with fries. It was an amazing crab cake with great fries. It certainly wasn't a cheap dinner, but it was worth it for a good amount of crab cake with a high quality.

Now we know why it's tough to get a seat; this is quality dining that brings customers back again and again. Ben and Diane (mixologist/hostess respectively) have been the owners for two years. I can't make any judgement about the prior ownership but I can say the current owners have nailed it. It was one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. We sat at the bar and from the outset Ben made us feel comfortable and he obviously appreciated us as customers. The cocktails were exceptionally prepared. It's obvious he is not merely a bartender and is proud of the special attention and customized twists given to some very traditional cocktails--Sazerac, Manhattan, cosmo. The cream based crab soup was hearty and the seasoning was well balanced. It was a great start. My partner had the fish special and I had the short ribs as entrees. Both were spectacular. Ben had told us that "if this were going to be your last meal, have the short ribs." It wasn't our last meal but his assessment was accurate. I can't recall having short ribs that just seem to melt in your mouth. We were going to defer on dessert but opted for a variation of a flourless chocolate cake with caramel topping. Served warm it was the perfect end to a perfect meal. It's obvious that Ben and Diane have assembled a team that is as committed to excellence as are the owners. We've already made reservations or our next visit. Can't wait!

Nice place - clean, and welcoming. Went for off-season "buck-a-shuck" and was not disappointed…read more Oysters were VERY fresh, nicely sized, and shucked PERFECTLY (which is no easy task). Wife doesn't like fish, so she ordered a burger - not something I would typically recommend at a seafood place - but she enjoyed it, said it was well cooked, and tasty. Rockfish bake was excellent, and packed with crab, shrimp and scallops - just wish there was more than two small pieces of actual rockfish. Oyster stew was good - with nicely poached BIG fresh oysters. Would give a 5th star if the quality of side dishes wasn't so poor - garlic mash and risotto were very bland, asparagus was under-seasoned and boring. Service was attentive and very friendly, so not sure what Russ W's issue was - probably because he didn't read the clearly published notation that happy hour is at the bar only, and the rest of his "review" indicates he's likely the kind of guy who makes his own problems.

Fins is a deliciously fun place to hang.
