We had the best server - Kelly! We went for the Monday happy hour. Kelly was attentive and extremely pleasant. We have been to the happy hour numerous times and coming from AZ for the summer, I craved the ahi sliders which I have ordered for the last 6 years. And I can't tell you my shock to find out the ahi sliders are no longer on the happy hour or regular menu. The Ahi sashimi was a close second but sorely not the same - please bring back the ahi sliders for happy hour. Keep Kelly - she is fabulous! read more

Fabulous meals, back to back... Last night and tonight! Wonderful service, Kelly saw to each course...an incredible batch of a dozen oysters, two nights in a row. She offered suggestions for the next course...Incredible Cobb seafood salad, grilled swordfish. We weren't rushed, we enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere! The Brigantine has maintained their standards for the 20 years we've enjoyed this establishment seasonally! read more

Thanks Kelly for your awesome service today! My friends and I appreciated your attention to our comments and questions and we especially enjoyed your friendliness. As always, our food was delicious.....we will be back! read more

Absolutely fabulous!! Sat outside and enjoyed people watching while enjoying a truly scrumptious meal BLT wedge salad was amazing West coast and east coast oysters we delish, glad we could do half and half! Lobster tacos were sweet and full of flavor, truffle fries were a wonderful surprise. Super yummy Mahi mahi sandwich fresh and tasty Will be back if we make it over here again! read more

The staff was wonderful, our server couldn't be better. The location and view great. The food was very disappointing. My husband was looking forward to a swordfish steak. He got barely half inch thick dried out and small piece of fish. The asparagus was so tuff a piece shot across the table when he was trying to cut it. I ordered the scallops which were delicious. But, $44 for 4 scallops was not what I was expecting. I ordered a lobster tail side which had the overwhelming taste of paprika. Lobster flavor was absent. They very happily brought me another one that hadn't been rolled in paprika, but it still had the flavor of paprika and a really bad aftertaste. I did not eat it. It was subtracted from our bill, but overall, it was a very poor food experience. read more

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

Highly recommend! Came here for happy hour Friday evening and had the nicest most amazing server! They have the best happy hour prices and are just steps from the overpriced Del restaurants. We had drinks, sliders, fish tacos, potato skins and a delicious dessert we were treated to for our anniversary. Our first time at this location and it will definitely be our go to now when in Coronado. 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

Brigantine - Nachos, classic fish taco, house salad & potato skins. - Seafood Near Me - Coronado, California

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

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

A very mediocre "Louis" salad. Mostly greens, skimpy seafood, and no Louis dressing. Avoid this. Go to San Francisco for the real thing.

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

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

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

We sat at a beautiful table on the outside. Kelly, our waitress was phenomenal! She was quick to introduce herself and tell us the specials of the day and ask for our drink orders. I had seen the lunch menu online. It was 2:50 pm. I knew I wanted the King Louie Salad. Yet, I wasn't finding it on the menus given and I told Kelly this and that I needed more time to select something else because I'm gluten intolerant. My friend asked if it were still possible to get this since I was visiting from out of state and leaving the next day. Kelly asked if I had any other food sensitivities she should be aware of...so kind! My issue wasn't a burden to her. She just wanted me to have a great meal! Kelly happily said she couldn't make any promises but she would ask the chef if this was still possible to get the King Louie. She was back very quickly and told me they were preparing the King Louie for me now. Yay!!! The dressing and the quality of the seafood was delicious! I actually had lobster instead of crab. Omgoodness! I look forward to returning to the Brigantine again and having this same meal. I hope Kelly will be there to serve us! She was delightful and made our experience memorable for sure! read more

My husband and I went to Happy Hour on Monday at the Brig and really enjoyed our meal.

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

Food and service and ambiance was specifically wonderful. I loved it and will return!

The service was amazing from the lovely Kelly she was so helpful in picking out our dinner orders but honestly I don't think you can go wrong with anything thing here. The food is delicious we had fish tacos, the scallops, filet and the ahi tuna. I can't pick my favorite. Like I said you can't go wrong here especially if Kelly is your server. AND get the mud pie 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

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

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

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

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

We loved our meal!! Kelly was such a great server! Helped make sure we got the right meal and drinks we loved our meal!

It was happy hour time. Besides the place being packed and not a lot of options for seating, we were able to squeeze in at the bar area. Servers were attentive and always checking in.
