Another picture.

In the high bar area, I would put one over the sink and another over the other arm of it. You don't want a chandelier over the dining area? If not, two cans. I have two cans over my kitchen dining area, but it was wired this way when built (or when remodeled 10-15 years ago). I think it's OK for my area which is smaller than yours and is also in a traffic pattern (in front of the slider to the deck). For yours it looks like a chandelier would be better. Since you have a chandelier there now I assume there is some reason you don't want it anymore?

Kandrewspa the chandelier came with the house and not my taste. The countertop dining table came from my previous home and I have this open glass shelving unit to the right also from a previous home. I really can't seem to find a chandelier to flow with the area and if I should make any changes down the line with the furnishings I thought it would be easier with neutral can lighting.  Does that make sense?

You have a very challenging space to light with the angled ceiling and post. If you want to go recessed over the table, 2 would be better, but I would consider lighting the shelf wall with accents, which would require a sloped ceiling housing because a gimbal trim would not be adequate (same situation lighting the counters under the sloped ceiling). You could do gimbals on the flat ceiling, then I would only have 1 recessed over the table (or back to chandelier).

I might not do pendants just over the sink, as the bar counter is a skinny depth, there is a matching one on the other counter leg not pendant-ized, and you have a column which offsets the balance and detracts from any pendants. But that comment is my aesthetic opinion, not a functional one, where pendants would work.
