Overall? Hard to say; Restaurant Martin Berasategui in Spain was top-to-bottom one of the best, with no one course amongst the 14 standing out above the rest and all solid. Nakamura in Kyoto excelled for service (and the food was great, too!). For value, Batelina in Pula in Croatia is tough to beat. In the DC area, we love Rose's Luxury, which has very tasty food at a relatively inexpensive price (but doesn't take reservations, either). We've eaten at many of the much pricier places in DC, but they're near the top of our list.

Two of those three are 3-Michelin-star restaurants, so it's not a surprise they're fantastic... but for different reasons IMHO. The 3rd has no star but has some of the best seafood I've ever eaten and for a fantastic price.
