A restaurant called "Skilligallee", just off of Broad and Glenside. The meal was pretty good, but the decor was great, if you like nautical themes.
Outside are a few old boats including a 1/2 model of a draketail about 12' long. Inside are numerous prints of skipjacks, waterfowl, rudders, a lapstrake skiff hangs from the ceiling. A large ('bout 7' long) scale model of the skipjack Geneva May rests againts the wall. All sorts of anchors, nets, decoys keep your eyes on the move. I really liked a painting of English setters, hunters, and a covey of flushing quail.
I'm sure this is old news to some of you, but I'd never been there before. It's not the trendiest place in town, but I'm not into the newest, trendiest, crowded place.
Looks like a good place for Va boat enthusiasts to meet.
