What do you think of Sheffield as a place to eat out?

There is a tendency towards mediocrity, that people will be satisfied as long as they get a mountain of food.

I can see that there are some places with a small menu and fresh made food. The small menu is essential for a good quality restaurant, and more places in Sheffield are cooking local. So the arrow points the right way.
