We enjoy SciFi, but I can see how that may not work for your party size from a seating perspective. Have you considered leaving the park? The Beach Club is just a short boat ride away and we love Beaches and Cream.
Was going to suggest this, but considering the size of the party, it's a tough get. Considering it would be probably 1/3 of the capacity of Beaches and Cream. My suggestion is always Beaches and Cream...but considering they would need most of the tables in there (not counting the booths or bar area) it would be a matter of freeing up 3 tables at the same time, which considering how busy it is....could be tough. I think you'd have maybe better luck at the Fountain at the Dolphin.
Ultimately, my recommendation would be if you CAN get Beaches and Cream for that size party at 180 days...do it.
For your size group, I think Mama Melrose is the best option. The food has always been good even if it is not gourmet Italian and it's possible for them to set up a table that will fit all of you. As PP said, there are a couple of options on the Boardwalk that you can look into if you are willing to take the time to leave the park.
we just ate there on Friday and I LOVED that nobody talked. After five days of being together for every meal and all day it was nice to have a dark/quiet break!!We’re going as a group of 11, and I’m booking Sci Fi. I love my family but a meal where we CAN’T talk to each other will be a nice break. lol Plus, I have 3 kids, so we put one in each row= no arguing with each other.
No kidding right?? I love how quiet this place is. im sorry, but sometimes you need a somewhat silent break. You spend the entire vacay with your family from morning to night...a little peace and quiet in a cool dim environment will do wonders!we just ate there on Friday and I LOVED that nobody talked.

Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge. It’s our favorite!
Mama Melrose: We live in an area with excellent Italian restaurants and eat at them quite often so we usually avoid Italian food on vacation.
