I like Smugglers for lunch, especially if it's business, but have not had a good dinner there ever. Their meat/steaks is just second rate I find.
Caesar's (south) still has the same chef/grill-man from the early 80's - I am now at the point that I will not even bother with steak anywhere else.
La Chaumiere is really good too if you want to go old school. Nick's was a favourite back in the university days, but have not been there is probably 10 years - loved their pizza. Just too far to go to bother.
I am curious to see how the food scene will play out. Back when money was gushing out of the ground here, it seems a lot of restaurants just sprang up to relieve the wealthy rubes of their cash - pretentious and mediocre. Hopefully, as seems to be the case, it's turning more toward quality and away from "show"...
