Everything within a walk
The Kinsley sits at Monroe and Canal, which means two mainline stations, three train lines and about forty restaurants are closer than the parking garage at most airport hotels.
Walking times below were measured on foot, not estimated by a mapping API. On a real build this list sits beside an interactive map, but the list itself stays in the HTML, because a map widget is invisible to search engines and useless to a screen reader.

If you only have one evening
Walk east on Monroe to the river, turn north along the Riverwalk, and stop at the first place with people outside. That is a better plan than any list we could write, and it takes twenty minutes.
If you would rather have a specific recommendation, the front desk keeps a short list of places they actually eat at, not the ones that pay for placement.
