That's a loaded question since I'm not sure what you consider "big bucks".
My husband and I really enjoy the
Captain's Table inside the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel on 15th St. and the boardwalk. For steak and shrimp for the two of us, the cost is about $60 not including tip or desert.
We enjoy
BJ's on the Water as well on 75th St. Not especially fancy, but good food and great bay views, and not a budget buster.
The Shark on the Harbor also has great food..........more of a gourmet type menu, but their prices go from low to high, so you'll probably find something for everyone.
Harrison's Harbor Watch is another good choice that won't break the bank. It sits on the inlet, so ask for a window seat and watch the boats go by while you dine. Very good steaks and lobster raviolli there. For two people you can spend around $60 - $75.
Or you can drive up to Fenwick to
Mio Fratello's. Be sure to check out their specials, because they have lobster dinners for less than $20 at least one night a week. Good food, nice restaurant, and nice people.
You can find menus for all of the restaurants I mentioned online. And if you haven't booked your hotel rooms yet, check out
