There are some very goods one in the area of your hotel.
Go to The Esplanade (street name) and you will find pasta (Old Spaghetti House), pub style (think it is Sherlocks) a bit further is the Market Grill and Fish Market.
I bit further north on Front, you can find another good selection. There is a great deli, a wine bar, and more I can't think of right away.
Over by the convention center, there are the typical sports bar kind of places.
Your are in a great part of town. No need to plan, just go and stroll around until you see something that strikes your fancy.
