I've never been one who's overly concerned with ages (I don't think about what a fourth grader would like compared to sixth grader for example, I think older kids versus younger kids), so I would just say to skip the character meals and leave it at that. My children are 17, 13, & 3.5, but even with a preschooler we don't do the character meals, and never really have (I originally wanted to do Akershus with my DDs on our last trip since 3-year-old loves princesses and my 13-year-old hasn't lost her obsession, but it didn't work out). Other than that, I wouldn't worry too much about the place, but more about the food.
Here's some of our favorites from last week:
FF
Shula's (our best meal)
Kimonos (great place to go after dinner)
Garden Grove
Fresh Med.
Teppan Edo
We didn't make it t0o far as my DD13 was sick, but Brown Derby, Coral Reef, Kona Cafe, Pucks, Citricos, Narccosses and Le Cellier have also been great in the past.
