Best... California Grill. We've been twice and both times it was almost perfect. We've been lucky enough to get reservations timed such that we've been seated, ordered drinks and had them delivered, ordered appetizers, watched the fireworks, reordered drinks and ordered dinner, had drinks and appetizers delivered, followed by dinner and dessert. Timing has been perfect, food and service even better. My only disappointment was on our first visit, when I ordered the filet. It was perfect.. but I saw so many other amazing dishes that I wished I'd been more venturesome!
Another best is Boma, and despite our wonderful meals at CaliGrill, I would say Boma is our favorite. We love the food, and as a party of 2 or 3 are always seated in the window alcoves, away from the hustle and bustle of servers and overactive children. Dinner has always been our favorite, but we had an extremely pleasant surprise at breakfast. There are some yummy, interesting dishes, the service is attentive (coffee, tea, and juice, better be attentive!), and the atmosphere peaceful and inviting.
...Biergarten, and boy, were we surprised that it's become a favorite. We've been occasionally over the years, but in the past 4 it seems to improve with every visit. We enjoy sitting with others (the beer flight helps this), so that's not a problem. We have found the food quality improves with each visit, and now it's almost a must-do for every trip!
Mid-ground ... Kona Cafe for dinner. Love the appetizers, entrees, service is good, but we find the desserts to be overly sweet, loaded with "bagged" whipped cream, or doused in chocolate sauce the quality of Hershey's canned syrup.
...Mama Melrose- we've always enjoyed the food, but the service can be hit or miss, which effects the experience. Same with 50's PT.
Worst... Kouzzina, and this breaks my heart. We went in Aug 2010 and it was incredibly good; we really loved it. Went again in Oct. 2011 and, well, never again. The service was incredibly slow, the server basically non-existant, and the food was miserable. It was cold, probably thanks to the inattentive server, but also poorly flavored and not properly prepared. This made me sad, as DD and I had loved it so much the year before and were looking forward to sharing this with DH.
Chef Mickey's... also a worst. We like buffets, we like fun and excitement, and aren't even bothered by the noise level here. The problem is the food, and the cleanliness. The food is just plain crappy; college dining hall food is better prepared. Even worse is the cleanliness. There's spilled food everywhere... on the buffet serving area, on the floor around the serving area, the dessert stations are overflowing with spilled food, and the place is just generally a mess.
Teppan Edo... too much hype, too high expectations. TE is exactly like every other teppan restaurant I've ever been to, except there's no salad or soup to go with the overpriced meal. We also ended up with table companions who were in their early 20's and clearly needed to "get a room" if you KWIM...
That's what keeps all the restaurants going and makes life interesting. We all have such varied tastes and ideas of how things should be handled. Life would be so boring if we all like the same things, eh? 
We love most of the places we've been, but maybe it's the "pixie dust" we're surrounded with that makes us enjoy them so much! Whatever 
Hubby is a very picky eater (meat & potato man) and this has become his new favorite (used to be Cinderella's till they changed the menu).
