Our first time here. Loved the service and food!!! We prefer the ambiance near the bar area than the quiet dining on the other side. All the food we ordered were all delicious! If you're into seafood, this is worth trying when you're in Coronado, San Diego read more

My mom and I love biking to The Brigantine for happy hour. $5 glasses of wine + great small plate deals. It's such a fun, relaxed spot to unwind after a ride. Good food, good prices (especially for Coronado), and a great atmosphere. Definitely a nice place to sit outside in the sun across from the dell! Service is always great as well, quick, friendly and attentive. read more

We came here just in time for happy hour. Our waitress, Riley, was super cool and funny. She was able to put in our order just as happy hour was wrapping up. We sat in the bar area at the oyster bar. The whole bar section is open seating. The fish tacos are a must have! The calamari is a go to for us as well! The wagyu sliders were ok. I probably wouldn't get those again. Atmosphere is laidback. We enjoyed our evening. Will come back if ever down in Coronado again! read more

When visiting Coronado Beach and you're in the mood for seafood, I highly recommend the Brig. The seafood is amazing and made with the freshest ingredients. The staff was exceptional and very knowledgeable about the area. The shrimp cocktail is great way to start while you're waiting for your meal. The calamari is a popular dish but it was not as good as many other places I have been to in the past. read more

Happy hour is the best time to go. Will say I had never had a good Pacifico draft like I have here. So crisp and cold . Appetizers are perfect if your not trying to have a full course meal. Lastly the atmosphere overall is a great place to unwind and enjoy your drink. read more

Brigantine - Avissi Prosecco, ONION RINGS, and Pacifico draft beer - Seafood Near Me - Coronado, California

This was a classy place for brunch on San Diego's Coronado Island. The area is a bit more upscale with a great view of the water and close proximity to the hotel and neighborhoods for walking and exploring. However, inside this place, there was a more laid-back bar ambience and some good but fried dishes. We Had the Shishito peppers and the crispy shrimp, which I would recommend. We also had a classic salad and some other shareable items that weren't as memorable for me. Service was efficient. The servers know who their regulars are, which is okay. Plenty of great drink options, but not the vibe we were going for that day. Cute interior, comfy seating, clean overall, with nice decorations. Parking was relatively easy, but I would expect more difficulty during peak hours. We came in the early afternoon so we just missed the lunch crowd and were there too early to compete with the dinner patrons. read more

We came back here twice - once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times were great experiences! We sat in the bar area both times - the tables and bar stools in that area are all open seating and we didn't have to wait. Both times I got the Fish n Chips. Yum! Fresh tasting fish, healthy portion provided, with the perfect crispy outside. The fries were also delicious! I like that you can do the bar portion with 2 pieces, or the lunch/dinner portion with more. My husband got the Fish n Chips during our first visit and the Fish Tacos our second visit - he enjoyed both meals. During our visit for dinner we split the Mud Pie - it was a great choice! The service was great - both our waitresses were very friendly and attentive. It's clean inside and the ambiance was great! This is definitely one of the best options for food on Coronado. read more

Was in San Diego for a long weekend with Wifey a couple weeks ago and my only responsibility was to choose dinner locations. My seafood diner choice was Brigantine, which was within walking distance of our hotel. Seated us inside but with a beautiful view of the sunset. Place isn't fancy for your attire. Nice shorts and a polo is perfect. We had a reservation (and it was a little early) si we were seated immediately. Waiter was Billy - who was super friendly and helped us choose our entrees and drinks. I started with a Cucumber jalapeño margarita and Wifey had the Pomegranate sangria. The drinks were great...and mine was pretty strong. For starters we tried the Baked oysters a couple on the half shell. For our entrees Wifey had the Crab stuffed shrimp and grits and I, surprisingly, chose a pretty healthy option of Wok seared ahi and vegetables. The stuffed shrimp meal was very rich (I got one of them), but delicious. My meal was fantastic and I was completely full at the end of it. read more

Food is delicious! The calamari, Seafood Cobb, Parmesan Crusted San Dabbs, Blackened Salmon fantastic!!! Service from beginning to end is wonderful.

Really cute restaurant! I went on a Sunday for lunch time and it was pretty empty so we were seated quickly. Fish tacos were good, but the cheddar cheese didn't go too well with it. I also had the oysters rock which were a bit TOO overloaded with bacon. Overall a decent lunch option while in the area! read more

We had such a great experience at The Brigantine in Coronado! Their happy hour is truly one of the best in town. We enjoyed a half dozen Blue Point oysters (outside of happy hour) and they were excellent--fresh and briny. Happy hour itself was a standout, with $7 drafts, select cocktails, and wines, plus a variety of food options that were both generous in portion and full of flavor--all for just $7. You can't beat that value. We also came by on Taco Tuesday, and wow--the tacos were only $6 each, but they were large, loaded, and absolutely delicious. The Brigantine is a great place to eat any time--the food is always delicious--but the happy hour deals with their generous and flavorful offerings are an extra perk. Overall, fantastic food, great drinks, and unbeatable specials. Definitely the best happy hour spot in Coronado! We sat at the bar. Inviting and casual - Check it out ! read more

This was a casual location that had a diverse menu with mostly seafood fare. There was a large bar upon entering and it also included open air seating it seemed. The service was appreciated as the food came out in a timely manner. Three dishes were ordered, the crispy brussels sprouts, crispy coconut macadamia shrimp, and the fresh steamed clams. The brussels sprouts had pieces of pork belly, Spanish chorizo, blue cheese, and salted caramel. The sprouts had a great cook to them and contrasted nicely with the blue cheese and salted caramel. The caramel on the meats was unique too. There were plenty of the meats present, which was nice to see. The shrimp had a ponzu sauce. There were six extremely large and crispy shrimp tails. The sauce was not too overpowering, and it stuck on the shrimps without falling off, which was ideal. The clams had chorizo, shallots, garlic, and lemongrass in a red curry-coconut broth. There were also pieces of toasted baguette. There were about two dozen clams or so. The clams were too small, however. The sauce was appetizing and mostly made up for it. Will I go back? Probably. read more

Came on Sunday afternoon with the cousins. Was around for happy hour and we had a toddler with us as well. Our server was great, checked on us frequently but not overly so, made sure we had everything we needed, very personable and didn't rush us out. We order a plethora of dishes, fried artichoke, shrimp cocktail, Cesar salad, kids Mac and cheese with fruit, sliders and nachos. Portions were all very good size, everything tasted nice and fresh. Wasn't a huge fan of the blue cheese with the nachos but the fried artichokes were crispy and delicious without being oily. It's great location for people watching and more affordable than eating at the Del. read more

Wonderful place for lunch- sat outside and enjoyed ciders chowder soup clams and salads. Mariana was very kind and attentive to us.

The food was excellent. My wife and I were so impressed. we had the Salmon and the Halibut. Both were cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing. We never order dessert but couldn't resist trying the blueberry and pear cobbler. So good!!! Our server Jill is truly best in class. She was so helpful with recommendations and was so attentive too. definitely coming back to Brigantine Coronado!!! thank you for a wonderful date night. read more

We thought of enjoying some Brigantine's for Happy Hour before heading to an event at the Hotel Del Coronado across the street. There was a table available for the three of us on arrival which was nice. Alyssa was out waitress and was very attentive. It seems like the restaurant is a bit understaffed as we had several different staff members delivering us food and drinks which also meant getting an additional bowl for the clam chowder became a bit more of an inquiry. Margaritas were as always very nice but we're spoiled with other restaurants pouring these and us drinking them at home. Fish tacos were satisfactory, more because of the fish than the other parts of the dish. Clam chowder nice and creamy and the nachos had potato chips, not tortilla chips to our surprise. I did not check the menu to see if this is mentioned more in detail, but it may help to emphasize on this bit. Lastly, the ahi poke to start with was nice and fresh. Oh yes, the restaurant itself is cozy, bit confusing layout with the bathrooms away from the entrance and a lot of cross traffic with staff and other patrons. All in all, 8/10 which is a decent score for a decent experience. read more

Absolutely loved this place and wish we could've gone another time. Their happy hour is great and all the food was so fresh and delicious

Brigantine - GRILLED SPANISH OCTOPUS - Seafood Near Me - Coronado, California

Super bummed about our latest experience here. We came on the 4th of July (come at me with all of excuses you want about busy season etc etc). They have a new large patio area but we were seated in the old patio area and were blinded by the setting sun. So we passed around sunglasses as the sun position changed. The table ordered calamari for an appetizer. FYI they are strips and not the o rings and little squid bodies. Table wasn't much of a fan of them. I am gluten free. We have eaten here before. I enjoyed my food the last time. I ordered what I order last time- mahi and was told they were out but could sub a different type of fish. I forget what kind he said. So I said yes. After orders were taken he came back almost 10 minutes later letting me know that the other type of fish was "pre prepped" and was not gluten free so I needed to pick something else. I am allergic to red meat so most other options I liked had bacon. I should have just asked if they could be made without bacon but I didn't want to keep having to change my order. I ordered the sand dabs and it was awful. I barely touched it. I think we will skip this place next time. Based on other reviewers it seems to have gone down hill a bit. read more

We dined here during a family trip and unfortunately had a disappointing experience, especially given the location and expectations for a seafood restaurant. Service was the biggest issue. Our server, Jose C., didn't greet us for over 25 minutes after being seated, and throughout the meal there was very little follow-up...our water was never refilled, and overall attentiveness was lacking. When our oysters arrived (a half dozen with two different varieties), no one explained which was which, which felt like a miss for a restaurant serving that type of dish. There were also several execution and billing issues. My wine order was for a 6oz pour but was served as a 9oz, and we were also overcharged for our kids' drinks. Our child's mac and cheese came out with a grainy texture that wasn't very appetizing. To be fair, the setting/location is great, and I can imagine this being a good experience on a better night. But based on this visit, the service, attention to detail, and accuracy didn't meet expectations. read more

This was our first visit to this Brigantine location, and it made for a perfect birthday dinner. We were seated at a window in the main dining room, and the atmosphere struck that ideal polished coastal balance--upscale but relaxed, the kind of place where you can settle in and enjoy the evening without feeling rushed. We both ordered the macadamia-crusted fresh mahi mahi, and it absolutely delivered. The fish was perfectly cooked and incredibly fresh, with a light, crisp macadamia-panko crust that added just the right amount of texture. The lemon beurre blanc was bright without overpowering the dish, and the parmesan risotto was creamy and comforting. The chef's vegetables were beautifully prepared and rounded everything out. It's one of those reminders of how good simple, well-executed seafood can be. Drinks were equally solid--Ketch Blonde Ale for one of us, and the Prosecco Lavender for me, which was light, refreshing, and just floral enough to feel special without being sweet. What truly elevated the night, though, was our server Jill. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and had impeccable timing--checking in when needed, offering thoughtful recommendations, and keeping the mood easy and celebratory. Warm, humorous, and completely professional, she made us feel genuinely welcomed, which matters even more on a birthday. We'll absolutely be back--not just for the food, but for the service. Jill turned a great dinner into a memorable one. Highly recommend. read more

Kelly, our server, was exceptional. Friendly, accommodating and fast. Oysters were amazing! Great seafood​

We stopped in for Happy Hour and it is such a great deal! Everything on the happy hour menu is $7 for a limited amount of time but it was such fun! We had the shrimp cocktail and they were so fresh, crispy and flavorful. The house salad is to die for and full of cranberries and walnuts. Super healthy and delicious! The fish taco is a large portion, colorful presentation and filling. We also tried the fried artichokes and they were ok but would be better grilled. The house wines are a great deal and the service was great. The restaurant on Coronado is open air feeling and welcoming . The staff is very positive and greeted us as we entered. We also decided to have coffees and the mud pie which was amazing! I would really recommend trying it. read more

Excellent service, excellent ambiance, and great menu selections. I must say the brussel caramel starters are a must. They have a bread and cheese dip that is really tasty and flavorful. You can beat it. They are very accommodating seating and food. I ordered the lobster tacos which I wasn't expecting it to be fried but it was still tasty and good. It has blue corn tortilla. Someone else ordered the seafood salad. Huge portion and a must have. I also ordered the clam chowder. It's probably more of a winter dish but it was still okay. Some of the fish tacos come with a huge fish portion also. All their dishes look really good and creative. We went to the Brigantine on Coronado Island. I would go back. Their veggies which I ordered double veggies were buttery and oily and not overcooked. You will get all the nutrients from them. I still enjoyed them. I would go back. I enjoyed my visit. Its not to pricey. read more

We stopped here for that meal in between lunch and dinner (which we refer to as 'Linner' - if that isn't a thing, it should be). We have been to and enjoyed the one in San Diego, so we were ready for the same experience here. And we weren't disappointed! We got there right before the start of their dinner menu, so the host sat us with the lunch menu. I wasn't really impressed with their lunch menu (I cannot remember the exact reason, but it's like between my allergy and do-not-care-for list), the waitress offered to bring out the dinner menu because we were only like 10 minutes away from the dinner kitchen opening. Fortunately the Shrimp & Grits that I had at the SD location was also available here, just on their dinner menu - so that's what I ordered (even though after my review of the SD restaurant said that I'd try their Swordfish at my next visit). I am SO glad I did, it really is SOOOO good!!! I am pretty sure I'll be dreaming about that thing sometime in the near future. Our server was kind and attentive and helped answer my questions about the lunch menu (which is likely when she realized I may prefer the dinner menu). The place is comfortable with lots of seating (including outdoors) and has a fabulous location near the Hotel Del. If you like seafood, check out their menu and head that way. You'll enjoy it! Thank you for reading my review. read more

A lovely place to grab some dinner near Hotel Coronado! My family and I racked up a pretty large tab and enjoyed the service we received. Our food came out in a timely manner and it was all so good! Some highlights were the grilled octopus, coconut shrimp, and the scallops. We had drinks, appetizers, entrees, and dessert--the whole shebang and every single one was delicious! A special shoutout to our waitress, Aubrie. She was efficient, kind, and nice to chat with (my dad is a major talker haha). When we find ourselves back in the area, we will totally come back! read more

made a reservation for my dad's 50th birthday.. Once we ended up not ordering any cocktails/drinks and just sodas, the server's whole demeanor shifted a bit. After we got out sodas, we waited 20 minutes and the server continued to service every single table around us (most tables arrived after us) , even brought out their appetizers, and still never came back to our table to finally take our order. We made eye contact with the server a few times, I know he noticed we were waiting for him... So unfortunately this resulted with my dad losing his appetite and we had to walk out. Do not judge your table only because cocktails were not ordered. read more

We always love coming to this Brigantine location in Coronado. They have a great happy hour and have two areas of outdoor patio seating. They always take great care of our two frenchies and always have great service. Everything on their menu is wonderful but one of my favorites is their clam chowder! We will be back of course. read more

My server was great! I sat outside during Happy Hour and she was busy with 5 tables but never missed a beat. I ordered from the main menu and she told me the calamari was on the Happy hour menu. I also ordered the sangria which was one of the best I've had in the region. They give you 10 shrimp in the cocktail; I have never had that many anywhere but they were huge size and a good taste. Others need to follow suit. The calamari was a huge serving and I gave never seen strips cut in this fashion but I'm definitely not complaining; Well seasoned and cooked. They were extremely soft and tender. read more
