Graham, can you post the restaurants?
Sure can. This is what Greg Smith sent us for restuarants when we signed up for Evo school. Note that all directions are based on leaving the Quality Inn mentioned above:
There are three excellent choices for Friday night near the motel. (The motel has it's own restaurant too.) The first is called The Jewish Mother and is located at 3108 Pacific Avenue. Pacific avenue is the last street before Atlantic Avenue and the boardwalk. You'll turn right out of the motel and head down 21st Street until you reach the traffic light at Pacific Avenue. Turn left and go ten blocks until you crossover 31st Street. The Jewish mother is just on the other side on your left. Parking is available on the left in the lot adjacent to the restaurant. (Use the left hand turn lane for the lot.) They usually have live music on Friday nights (mostly acoustical) and the dishes range from home cooked meals to really fabulous desserts and side dishes.
The second spot is Rudee's Restaurant & Raw Bar located on Rudee Inlet. The street address is 227 Mediterranean Avenue. After turning right out of the motel, go down to the first traffic light (not the flashing yellow lights at Cypress Avenue) and turn right onto Mediterranean Avenue. Continue on Mediterranean until you reach the water. Rudee's is on the pier and has free valet parking (you'll see why when you get there. It's crowded!) Rudee's is on you left and another restaurant, Rockafella's is on the right. Go to Rudee's.
The third spot is on the way to Rudee's. After turning onto Mediterranean, you'll come to a flashing red light at 19th. The Beach Bully is on your right. Excellent barbecue and ribs if that's what you would like.
All three of these restaurants have been voted "Best of The Beach" in their respective categories for years. Any of the three would be a great choice.
