It's a sliding scale. Burnt eggs? Send them back. Rye instead of wheat toast? Suck it up.
You're exactly right about the nicer restaurants, though -- they want you to tell them when there is a problem.
And, based upon my experience working in nice, sorta nice, and not so nice restaurants, your food is safe unless you are a complete prick. The only time I saw anything was when a guy (not my customer) had sent back a filet mignon he ordered medium well (bad idea, btw) several times, culminating in a complaint that it was tough, and he wanted a new one. The new one was bounced off the floor several times, and since the cook was a mean bastard under the best of circumstances, and was at that point frothing at the mouth with a huge cleaver in his hand, no one said anything to him about it.
