For me, going out for a meal = going out for a curry, pretty much, I'm afraid. And along those lines, I'd reccommend, above most others, Jaflong on Crookes. Butler's Balti House ( by the university roundabout) used to be excellent, but I haven't been there for a few years so I can no longer vouch for it. Though that new one opposite Netto's in Walkley is fairly nice, and Indian Chef is sometimes good but a bit inconsistent, Jaflong still remains unbeaten in that part of the world as far as I'm concerned. If you were looking for a school dining hall feel, Kashmir Curry Centre is still up to its old high standards, so I'm told. Though I imagine that you're not.
I know a couple of Italian restaurants - La Civetta in Hillsborough (no use to you, I suppose) is very nice, though it's got a lot more expensive over the last few years, and Maria's on Crookes is thoroughly pleasant also.
I'll let you know if I remember anywhere else.
There's a nice romantic little place on Ecclesall road (directly opposite the Berkely centre) called Trattoria Romana or something like that.
It's very romantic and nice.
Sheffield scared me. Loads of people hanging about in corners in the dark with hoodies up all hunched over.
I didn't go far.
Also, Google maps told me that Weston Park Museum was completely in the wrong place and I got lost.
Is that Jaflong place still good?
Also, anymore suggestions? (yes, I know it is many a month later now!)

Amazing.
By far the best Indian meal I have ever had, also the other 12 or so people I was with agreed.
Probably too late now! But I thought Takapuna Bar & Restaurant was a nice place.
