Definitely Jiko. I've not been to Ohana lately so I couldn't say.
Can't wait to try Tiffins -everything I've heard screams awesomeness.

I used to agree with this until Disney decided to take one of the best breakfast menus and quiet restaurants and replace it with a character dining experience with a limited menu

I completely agree with everything you wrote except one.....we are not big fans of California Grill. 'Ohana is nice but being on the Deluxe Dining Plan, we would rather do Monsieur Paul over California Grill or 'Ohana.V&A is no longer accepted on the dining plan, though, so for someone looking for recommendations on the Deluxe Dining Plan, that's like waving a teddy bear just out of the baby's reach.
I'd recommend California Grill over Ohana in a heartbeat.
The food at the Hoop-De-Doo isn't going to knock anyone's socks off but it's still a fun show, a fun night out, worth doing if you're not planning to use your four nights at WDW going park commando and it doesn't seem like you are.
The Wave has great food. The restaurant itself doesn't exactly scream "you're at Disney!" but the food is IMHO way above par. Ditto Turf Club at Saratoga Springs, though The Wave is better.
Artist Point @ Wilderness Lodge
Raglan Road at Disney Springs
Since you didn't mention kids I'm not assuming a character meal is a must-do, but I think one of the best ones is 1900 Park Fare at Grand Floridian. Try to get one of the last breakfast reservations, treat it like a brunch.
And for a lunch or dinner, maybe consider a World Showcase restaurant, a type of cuisine you both always wanted to try but never did. Marrakesh was my first experience with Moroccan food, I enjoyed it immensely. Biergarten, didn't enjoy the food as much, but it's a fun place to dine with German music and dancers.

And this is why there will never be world peace.
Seriously though, we've never ever had anything less than an awesome meal at Cali Grill.

I don't have a problem with the meal but with the atmosphere. Everyone talks about how romantic the restaurant is and that is what I disagree. It is noisy and loud, and the restaurant wasn't ever that loud even when it was the Top of the World in the '80's. We think the food is excellent at California Grill but if we were looking for a romantic dinner, we would prefer some place that is quieter like Artist Point.

Well said! If I'm looking for a dinner reservation for a romantic evening, I'm not looking toward CG -that's just not where the restaurant shines. Nothing wrong with that at all. I also agree that Artist Point is very much that sort of place.

Well as much as I still love Cali Grill I can't argue that it's more romantic than Artist Point, that's for sure.

Maybe this is a bit late, IMO, and for the foodie at heart who has an adventurous palette (or not, because there is something for everyone, and the quality of food is exceptional), Boma is easily the best buffet on property. I also am a fan of Cape May, you can’t go wrong with all you care to eat crab legs. Ohana was and still is one of my favorites though.

Haven't heard much about Cape May. I may have to check into that one. Artist Point seems interesting too.. maybe worth switching with California Grill. Again, thanks everyone for your responses.
Sorry for the late reply, been very busy recently.
I have... The chicken my wife got was so average it wasn't even funny... I cook a better one... Also the atmosphere is the worst of all sig places.. Loud... Last two times kids were running everywhere up to the glass near my table until I told them to sit down... Their hippie parents were just reading their phones.... I have not been back...
Also Pro tip to the workers: They put my wife and I at a table which was just "ok"... We ordered an expensive bottle of wine and they actually moved us to a window seat after we ordered it.... "Do you mind if you move to this window seat... Think you will enjoy it more....
