Orleans has some nice comfy couches, as well as a decent wine selection. If couches are full, they also have some small (ie: 2 person) tables. The appetizers range in gourmet to satisfying (crab cakes are delish but not filling) if you decide for some lite food.
My second would be Temple Bar. I think their prices are higher than Orleans. Plus a further walk from Train (unless you're not one of the bus-phobes.. the 77 goes right past).
I haven't tried (forgetting the new name) the place in Porter that used to be Metro.
I'd nix Christopher's. Tables are so close together, and I've always gotten the feel that it's a restaurant that has a bar, as opposed to a place to go for just drinks.
