My office is in Connaught Place in Delhi. For those who dont know much about Delhi, it is pretty much the geographical center of town.
Often, on Friday evenings, I ask my wife over to pick me up from office, and plan an evening out. We are constrained by the fact that we dont want to leave one car behind in my office, and so we need to go to places nearby, so that we can pick up the other car while leaving for home. A couple of weeks of this, and we have already exhausted most places where we can get dinner and generally hang out.
We have made a couple of good discoveries in our adventures though. One is the bar at the Shangri-La. This place has a couple of performers who sing REALLY well (and all our favourite songs too!!), and is not too crowded or smoky. The other is a restaurant that goes by the name of Veda. The decor is dark and antique, the food good, and the service excellent. The wine list, though expansive, is not very reliable. And prices are not too bad.
But now we are pretty much at the end of our tether...at least in and around CP. Any new ideas are always welcome!!

Try QBA at CP...and heard AGNI in Park Hotel is also good...
I get so bored of the weekend dinners routine... how about -
1) taking a ride in the metro from CP up to old delhi to see the sound & light at Redfort
2) lying down a nice quiet corner of the lush green sloping grass at the central park in inner circle and watch the metro go past below and the stars above ( I did this with my Mom for full two hours and had a good time:)
3)catch a play at one of the theatres in CP (forgetting the sames).. there's also the sahitya kala academy there which has a nice quiet atmosphere
4)take a walk by the pond-side at India Gate ( you need to go away from the gate and towards rashtrpati bhavan to avoid the crowds) but that walk is a real treat for the senses ( or maybe it was just a greenery/ bird chirping starved Mumbai- vaasi hallucinating !)and I swear that the ice cream there tastes different ;)
