Looking for Solo Dining Options Downtown

[doughertyj12]

I will be staying at the Crowne Plaza on Elm for a few nights next week and I am looking for some recommendations for dining alone. Cost is not a consideration, although I don't necessarily need to go someplace upscale. Craft, Stephan Pyles, Dakota's and Thomas Avenue Beverage seem like good options, but I am really open to anything. Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated. Also, any recommendations for a lounge or hotel bar where I can get a nice martini would also be appreciated.

I would definitely try Stephen Pyle's other restaurant downtown, Samar.
