Putting in a nice hardwood or quality laminate would work and match our furniture if it was in the mid brown tones but I'm concerned about a chopped up look and don't like the washed out woods that would match the tile.
I was informed that they put down a cement layer under the dining area tile that would be very expensive to rip up if I chose to replace that area with something else but it is an option albeit expensive.
What have others done?

I re-read your question and wonder if they could put laminate down over the tile and put a sub floor where the carpet was to level it off. We had that done in our house in Ohio and it worked. You should call Floormasters or some other tile place to come out to give you an estimate. They probably have a solution that none of us thought of.
