A group of 12 friends went a few nights ago - can't recall the name of the restaurant - will try to find out. The seafood platter for 2 was Rp900K - AUD$100. It was all over-cooked & the lobster was off. VERY off. Took a lot of hassling before they would admit it & hours before replacement lobsters arrived.
A few nights earlier my friend (who was part of the Jimbaran group) & I went to Kuta night markets. Had a beautifully cooked whole snapper with rice, vegies & a beer for less than $10 each.
Jimbaran Bay & Echo Beach are tourist traps I think. Sure, you get nice views but at such a high cost - not to mention the taxi mafia at both places. Plenty of other restaurants on the beach for good seafood, esp in Legian.
