Planning dinner for our first night after HS park close. Wow it looks like everything is booked up because there aren’t very many options. We were hoping to try sci-fi or 50s but it’s not available for a late dinner. Any other recommendations? We are staying at the Swan and have two teenagers traveling with us. We were hoping for a fun dinner we typically enjoy via Napoli and San Angel Inn. Thanks!

There’s always iL Mulino at the Swan. Good Italian food.

I have not eaten here, but have read (on these boards) a lot of good things about Topolino's Terrace at Riviera. Which you can get to via the Skyliner at Epcot.
 

Todd English 'BlueZoo' is a pretty cool option in the Dolphin (Swan's neighbor). not cheap but none of them are. Would recommend that over most of the dinners in HS anyway.

setting is dark and mimics being under water a bit. teens would probably dig it too.
 
All the Swalphin restaurants get great reviews. I'm also a big fan of Ale & Compass at the Yacht Club.
 
Our group really like Kimonos for sushi at the Swan. Most nights, you don't even have to have a reservation. It's fantastic sushi and great service. We also liked Il Mulino

Keep in mind if you plan to use the Skyliner, their hours have shortened so for a late night dinner, you might have to Uber or take a Disney Bus from Riviera to Disney Springs then back to the Swan. Currently Skyliner closes at 830p & HS closes at 7p which doesn't give you a lot of time to eat then get back.
 
Kimonos and a dip in the Grotto Pool sounds like a fantastically fun dinner to me, and it's at your hotel, to boot! I'm a huge fan of Kimonos for quality and value. The Fountain is a decent place to get your Sundae on, if you are ice cream eaters. If you need it to be Disney run, Beaches & Cream is a quick walk from Swan. Lots of people consider that to be a good "Disney Experience."

We have eaten at Topolono's and both the service and food were exceptional.
 
I would also check the night before and see if anything has opened up in the park. I saw a lot of that on my trip last week - that dining was available right at / right before closing.

Beaches and Cream (given the teens and you were looking at sci-fi).. Don’t know it’s covid status sorry.

Lucked out with 50’s ressie at 7:45 on our HS day, Sanaa at 5:10 on our AK day. Yay! Haven’t been to either, excited to try it. Thanks for all the recommendations!
50’s is great, I loved the pot roast! Be sure to try the bread service at Sanaa, completely worth it 👍🏼
