I do not think the questions you have can be answered properly. No one
restaurant or establishment can cover the needs of the patron all the time.
I think it really depends on the mood the patron is in and the type of food
& service one is looking for at the time. Some times it can be the The
Metropolitan Club in the old Sears tower and at other times the Pantry on
downtown LA or the Carnegie Deli in NYC. or a famous Chicago steakhouse.

The food is of course important as is the service. I abhor places where
one see the waiter/ress to place your order then a glorified busboy serves
your meal. then they expect a 20% gratuity - they can go pound sand.
