Dining in a Restaurant that Serves Alcohol

Question
A person wants to eat in a restaurant that serves alcohol. Is it permissible for him to do so if he sits and avoids looking at the alcohol as much as possible, knowing that there are no nearby restaurants that do not serve alcohol?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: He must avoid doubts. If there is any suspicion or doubt in his entering this restaurant, then he should go to another one, and God knows best.
