My favorite Seattle restaurant is The 5-Spot, though the food isn't the main attraction.
In Honolulu it is the Chinese food stalls outside of the Waikiki Daiei.
The comment above about Boulevard in San Francisco is interesting because one of the things I love about there is that the food is so incredibly good and yet I never leave feeling like I overate. However, I think the quality has declined just a little bit over the last few years (though it could just be that when you work a block away and it is the go-to impress people from out of town place I got used to it). The Fifth Floor in SF is also incredibly good.
I tend to prefer the small local places though and I never know their names. There was a Mexican place down the street from our place in Oakland that served the best salad (the Tampico Salad, if you must know) that I have ever had. We must have eaten there twice a week for a couple years. Still don't know the name of the place. We never referred to the restaurants by name, just by ethnicity. "Do you want Thai, Mexican, pizza, Japanese, Korean, or Italian?" It was obvoius which of the choices we would go to.
At Walt Disney World the best is Victoria & Alberts for fine dining and Spoodles at Boardwalk for casual dining. Lani can't be in Orlando without eating at Boma twice but I can take it or leave it.
Best random discovery: another place I don't know the name of but I had the best enchiladas in my life at a little Mexican place in Clinton, Arkansas, on a road trip a few years ago (the perfect place to stay if you have certain activities in mind). This thoroughly reinforced my motto to always ask the hotel desk guy for a restaurant recommendation when checking in. We would never have gone in otherwise.
