Drinks/dinner near Boardwalk

[mom2febgirls]

I am flying in next week and some friends of mine who live in Orlando want to get together one evening for drinks/dinner. I'm staying at the Swan without a car so I thought we could do something on the Boardwalk.

Any suggestions?

Right now Big River Grille (reservations available on Open Table), Trattoria al Forno (Disney ADRs recommended), and Abracadabar (bar with a couple appetizer options) are open on the Boardwalk for sit down places. Then there is the pizza window and the Boardwalk Bakery for mobile order options to eat out on the Boardwalk somewhere. There are some restaurants open at the Swan and Dolphin as well, not sure which ones though!

There is a nice area inside the Dolphin lobby called The Phin, where you can get drinks, close to Shula's Steakhouse.

Blue Zoo is also a nice place, also in Dolphin.

And il Mulino at the Dolphin has a nice bar and good Italian food. As you can see, lots of options for you!

You can go over to Yacht Club. I recommend Ale & Compass. There's a lounge and a restaurant. Delicious food! Great servers.

I'll second Il Mulino. However, you'll find it at the Swan.

Oops! We just ate there in March, and I forgot which hotel it was in!

We love bluezoo at the Dolphin. As others have noted, Il Mulino is great, too. I would eat at one of the Swan/Dolphin restaurants (far better than the WDW resort restaurants, IMHO) and then take a stroll on the Boardwalk.

I would take the gondola to The Toledo and have dinner and drinks on the balcony with a great view. A great place for friends to meet in my opinion. Upscale yet relaxed atmosphere with less children if you are wishing for an evening a visiting and relaxation.

I'd try for sushi / sake / Sapporos / Asahis at Kimonos, and then a stroll around the Boardwalk.

Toledo's not on the skyliner - it's at Coronado Springs and is currently closed. Topolino's Terrace is Skyliner accessible at the Riviera.
