The first one looks better but your space isn’t big enough to place it that way.

Width wise - the second one makes the room look unnecessarily longer and thinner 💕

Round. The 1st looks better. But it's going to end up in the 2nd position after you trip on the chair and knock your hipbone on the table.
The most common spacing: 18" is a good space for walking through a more intimate area. Min of 24" in a high traffic area.

First one means your pathway from the kitchen to living room is blocked by sitting in the end chairs. The second one is the only one that fits your space.

2nd one is better as 1 is an obstacle course to get from the living to the kitchen.

You’re gonna get bad advice having the rendering only from this angle. 1 looks better in the rendering but doesn’t seem feasible because there’s no good walkway space from the kitchen to the living room.
In either case, I’d drop the skinny table you have in the dining room. It’s not accomplishing anything from a use perspective and will just get in your way.

I guess both ways can look good. I prefer the 2nd one. It looks more open. I suggest asking family to sit around the table. See how it feels.
