Beverly nailed it. That space could be lovely with a pendant hanging down over the table. Even this kind of pedestal table would work. This is a banquette build, but you could keep your current chairs with a round or angled off table to have maximum flexibility. (This one's oval; round would be better. Ikea carries a lovely tulip table.) As for bar height dining sets, they belong in a bar! I'm glad Beverly caught you in time.
