I would highly recommend Yachtsman Steakhouse over at the Yacht and Beach which is across the lake from BoardWalk. It is excellent.
We have also enjoyed meals at Flying Fish (my favorite is the potato wrapped snapper) and at Blue Zoo (in the Swan or Dolphin, can't remember which...my husband calls them the Swalphin...lol).
We have also eaten at (yes we've pretty much been to all of them...such brats

) Spoodles and it was a solid "good". You will get a nice meal there, but IMO not the "wow" factor as Yachtsman or Flying Fish.
ESPN is very inconsistent, but we have fun there anyway. We've had great meals and awful meals. It's basically typical sports bar food, i.e. wings, nachos, burgers, and beer! The atmosphere is a sports guys (or gals) heaven.
Cape May cafe at the Beach Club has a clam bake dinner. I know MANY people would disagree with me on this, but we did not care for it at all. Maybe because we are spoiled New Englanders who are picky about their clams and mussels and "chowda". I found the seafood in general "rubbery". The desserts were good though.
Whatever you choose you will likely have a great time as BoardWalk is very fun. Be sure to allow time to stroll the shops, watch the entertainers (they have jugglers, magicians, musicians etc.), rent a surrey bike, or whatever!!
