I would like to find a place for dinner for a Monday night...not too expensive but great scene and great food. Seafood, vegetables a must. Walking distance woud be preferred. Also, any spots for breakfast in the neighborhood, like a coffee/tea shop with great pastries?

Also, if you don't want to leave the building there is Urban Farmer and Departure. I have not been to either but have heard mostly good things about each.

You should check out Departure in your building - people are raving about it. You might also walk down to Davis Street Tavern and check it out, and then check out Ping a couple of blocks away and decide on either of them. Both have great solo dining at the bar or counter.
