Thoughts on how to create a dining area with this main floor design?

I'm looking at townhouses and found these 2 layouts that I'm interested in but can't figure out how you'd set up a dining area?

They are small - 740 and 860 sqft over all - but the biggest issue is how small the living/dining areas are.

Where would you put the dining area here? I'm worried I'd have to sacrifice the living space and use the basement as a family room instead which I don't love as I'm not much of a basement person and also wouldn't allow for much hosting which I enjoy.

I'd appreciate some thoughts!
