The last time we had dinner at Spoodles was ages ago--but it was very good. We had breakfast there last May and it was the best meal of our trip. I would hope that dinner would be equally as good. We are going back in August for at least one meal.
As for the entertainment on the Boardwalk--when we were there last year we saw a magician who was very good. There was a man who I think had a piano attached to a bicycle that he road around, and would stop and play. Our kids had a blast and they were 6 and 4 at the time.
