In my view, the hotel restaurants in Nusa Dua are massively over priced. The only problem is that if you want to eat outside of Nusa Dua, you really only have Tanjung Benoa close by. Kuta is a 15min ride in a cab into town... and fares from Nusa Dua hotel receptions are inflated. So the best method is to walk as far away from the hotel as possible and find a driver and bargain as hard as you've bargained before. Just maybe you'll get a fair price and then you can go and have a meal somewhere reasonably priced.
So I guess briefly my experience in Nusa Dua was that whilst the hotel was fantastic, there was very rarely anything fairly priced within the entire compound.
