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

Attended a business lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. Our group reserved the private dining room and had 3 tables of 6-8 people. The space is beautiful and very classy. We had a 3-Prix Fixe menu with choice of 1st Course: Savory Clam Chowder or a Delicious Salad, 2nd Course: Sage Brined Chicken Breast with Fries, 10oz NY Steak Blue Cheese Crusted and red wine demi glacé atop mashed potatoes and fresh green beans, Lobster tacos with fries, or Miso Seared Salmon, and 3rd Course: S'mores Brownie atop a Cheesecake. I ordered the Delicious Salad and NY Steak. My food was amazing! I also had one of the more perfect Arnold Palmers in San Diego. Our server was wonderful and I appreciated her customer oriented hospitality was stellar. This is definitely my new place for group business lunch. I am amazed that I had never been to this location before, and I am a SD Native Born! I do love Brigantine Pt Loma and Portside Pier locations. This is now another to add to that list. Parking is a true challenge. They have 2 hr parking spots on the streets adjacent to and behind the establishment. Or, park about 2 blocks away and take the beautiful walk in the town, which is a thrill in itself. read more

We really liked Brigantine. It is not necessarily a fancy restaurant, but the food is great and the prices are high, so it's definitely a good time! We dressed nice and I think that's a good standard although it's not pretentious at all. The Crab Cake was literally the best Crab Cake I've ever had! The oysters were good with the sauce and horseradish. The Swordfish was also the beta I've ever had! Our server was friendly and helpful, recommending a great wine to accompany our seafood. The ZD chardonnay is so delicious and the perfect pairing with our meal. We finished off with the toffee flour less cake and it was SO SO yummy. I highly recommend coming here. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite after walking around Coronado, food was fine, just not fantastic. I had the pork chop as you can see here and my wife had the halibut, we had to ask for the sauce for the halibut after she noticed it was a little bit dry, they might've put some sauce that was supposed to come with it under with the beans, but it didn't seem like there was much if any. Nothing wrong with the food just wasn't impressed. Service was good, the waiter was nice. Will try again and try some different dishes next time. read more

Brigantine in Coronado really delivers on quality and atmosphere. We came in for Taco Tuesday, which lined up perfectly with Happy Hour, and it couldn't have been a better combo. The Blue Point oysters were a standout--fresh, briny, and absolutely worth ordering. The fish tacos were crisp, flavorful, and lived up to their reputation, and pairing everything with a margarita from the bar made it a great evening. Chips and salsa hit the table right away, and every plate that followed came out quickly and just right. The setting strikes that perfect balance of classy and coastal--polished enough to feel special, yet relaxed enough to make you want to linger. Service was professional, friendly, and on point throughout. Between the oysters, the tacos, the drinks, and the overall experience, Brigantine proves why it's a Coronado favorite. Taco Tuesday and Happy Hour together make it especially worth coming in--you won't regret it. read more

Came in with some friends for lunch. Parked around the corner and walked a little to get to the restaurant. They were a little busy but they were able to seat us upon arrival which was nice. We sat at a table, three adults and a baby. They are kid friendly. The waitress was attentive and very nice. My friend had been there before and she offered good recommendations as I was indecisive. We ordered 1 fish taco with coleslaw and she added fries, and 2 marinated mahi mahi sandwiches with a side of either fries, chips or salad. I picked the chips and my friend ordered the fries. Service was quick with the food but they forgot the avocado on our sandwiches. They brought it out separately which was fine but the food itself was just ok. The chips weren't salted but I could have added it, and didn't, and the sandwich was good. The coleslaw that came with it was crunchy but refreshing. My other friend enjoyed her fish tacos and fries. Overall, it was a nice place to meet up with friends. read more

Best choice for early dinner to end (or start) a fabulous time in Coronado! The happy hour deals are excellent, and Taco Tuesday is awesome! It's very big inside but the noise wasn't overwhelming. The service was fantastic, we didn't wait long for anything. We had a calamari starter, a dozen oysters, 9 tacos, 1 mixed drink, 2 margaritas, and a glass of wine. All of that plus a generous tip was $125. We wanted more bites of all the food and none of us could decide which was our favorite! The calamari was super tender, we were pleased with the variety of tacos/fish available, and they were full with generous helpings of fish and condiments. We all thought that especially the brigantine house tacos were out of this world. All tacos had plenty of toppings, fresh cabbage, cheese and each a sauce that matched the filling. Don't forget the Brig's sauce though! My folks live here on Coronado and this is a regular for them. We are sure it is now a regular for us too! read more

Best happy hour salad as well as fresh seafood. The drinks are so tasty and the staff is very attentive.

Our waitress was great. She informed us that the cooks were behind, but we were in no rush. She checked us continuously. We sat outside. Seating at the time was a first come first basis. All the food we ordered was good. read more

Colin was the best! Excellent food and service! Will definitely be back! Loved the octopus and swordfish

This is our second time visiting The Brigantine. Ambiance is causal and relaxed. Restaurant is located walking distance from the beach. We had happy hour on the patio with our pups. There was a great selection of items on the happy hour menu and food was delicious. My husband also ordered a fish entree off the menu which he loved. Our server was very nice and checked on us frequently. Fast service as well! read more

Food wasn't great, very subpar and bland. Server didn't even check on us until it was time to pay, wouldn't come back definitely better food spots to go to. Not sure why the crab cake was advertised as lump, when the meat was very stringy and overly breaded. Thai steamed clams were terrible, did not taste very much curry flavor maybe a whisper of lemongrass in the broth. Flies were everywhere in the restaurant and the AC wasn't on even though it was 90° outside. Seems like a tourist trap for people who don't know any better. I would advise to go somewhere else for your money. Go to Mitch's or Point Loma seafood instead. Overall just wasn't impressed with my experience there. read more

An A Ok! Average dining experience. We made reservations for four and we were seated promptly. However, after being seated we felt a bit forgotten. Order was taken. Food was delivered but then no follow up or refills unless we flagged some service down. Our server was nice just busy I suppose. We are very blessed to have well behaved littles that were able to sit and dine for an extended period of time. Our meals we good and the clam chowder was above average. We just felt that the service was minimal. Not bad just not that attentive. In the end, after we had all finished, we waited for our check. I ended up leaving the table with our littles as my husband continued to wait for our server to ask for the check. Again, not bad just not a better than most experience. read more

On a winter vacation with a day in the 70's stopped in Coronado. After walking around the Hotel Coronado, stopped here for lunch. Being from Colorado I wanted Seafood, not Mexican. This place was recommended by a local friend. It was great! I had Tiger Shrimp wrapped in bacon. Three very large shrimp with fresh veggies; carrots and harricovair. Perfectly cooked! A glass of Champagne topped off the meal. Very lovely server and the outdoor seating was so relaxing. Highly recommend. Nice clean restroom. read more

Benjamin C was the name on my check for the bar tonight. He was very welcoming and friendly. He asked if I wanted my side chowder out before my sandwich which was thoughtful. The pizza port amber ale was great! Mahi sandwich wasn't anything amazing but it was fresh and came out quickly. Chowder was a 10! He let me know Mondays they do a great HH so may stop by for that. read more

We were walk-in's. The hostess staff (both of them) were very impolite, unfriendly, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing them by asking for a table, BUT Shanna our waitress really made up for it and turned the experience around. BIG thank you to her for making it a better experience on the back end. Food was great quality and I recommend the raw oysters. read more

We stopped in to the Brigantine after a Saturday morning walking around Coronado and what better way to end the day in Coronado than with some seafood? I had been to the location in Del Mar/Solana beach a few years ago, so I generally knew the lay of the land, but I really like the Coronado location with the proximity to the beach and the Del. I was a bit surprised how easy it was to get a table on Saturday for lunch as I know the Brigantines are usually popular for brunch and happy hours. We were able to get a spot on their covered patio, which allowed us to savor that fresh ocean air while waiting for our food. We were promptly greeted by our waiter and had Oysters Rockefeller, Crab and Shrimp Cobb, Clam Chowder, and Calamari ordered for the table. The last two were for me and they hit the spot. Crispy and tender logs of calamari and the chowder is some of the best I've had. The rest of the family enjoyed their dishes as well. The Brigantine was a great way to finish a family outing out to Coronado. The menu does seem to be on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for with quality seafood and a fun atmosphere. We plan to stop by on the next Coronado jaunt. read more

I made a reservation and spent my birthday dinner here. I was greeted by a host and taken to my table. I had two of the strawberry rosé lemonades. I can't even explain how good they were. I could have had ten. The crab stuffed tiger shrimp were delicious. They come with a jalapeño white sauce, mashed potatoes and some veggies. I opted for the broccolini but would have loved more than two little pieces. They gave me a mud pie for my birthday and my waiter (along with those sitting in my section) even sung to me which was so kind. Overall a good experience and I liked sitting outside watching the busyness of Orange Avenue. Some of the service was a bit slower than preferred but it gave me more time to take it all in. A beautiful location and a lot going on. read more

Our server, Jill S. was so attentive last evening 8/31 when we went to celebrate our 42 Wedding Anniversary! She went out of her way to recommend entrees and highly recommend the signature citrus martini which was so delicious. The service was excellent for a busy Saturday over Labor Day weekend but we were never rushed but felt at home and well taken care of. My husband ordered the macadamia crusted sea bass and I had the Cobb Crab & Shrimp Salad. Jill even offered us an Anniversary Mud Pie for dessert on "the house". Thank you for making us feel so special on our day! Jill really took care of us! We have been coming to Brigantine for years but Jill made it the best night ever! read more

I've been a loyal customer at Brigantine for years--I usually go to the La Mesa location weekly and always get the oysters, especially the Minter Sweets, which are normally amazing. But after what happened at the Coronado location today, I honestly don't know if I'll ever come back. We ordered a half dozen Blue Points and Minter Sweets, and the Minter Sweets were absolutely disgusting, abnormally huge, full of what looked like pus, and literally burst in the mouth. The flavor and texture were completely off. We had to spit them out at the table, they were that bad. I've never had anything like it. What made it worse was the dismissive attitude of our server, Riley. When we told her the oysters were bad, she brushed it off, no apology, no offer to check with the kitchen, nothing. Just completely uninterested in making things right. And now my boyfriend is throwing up because of how sick those oysters made him feel. I've always loved Brigantine, but this experience was beyond disappointing. The quality, the food safety, and the customer service all failed miserably. read more

I've always loved Brigantine and this location was no different! Located across from Hotel Del with quite a bit of street parking around. Staff here are super friendly and attentive. I love the the kids menu had so many different options, more so than other restaurants. The Mac & cheese from the kids menu was really good and Cheesy. Us adults split a half order of oysters which were super meaty and fresh. We also got the blackened salmon which surprised me at how delicious it was and it was perfectly cooked with the inside being really juicy and the whole dish was flavorful. Also ordered the brigantine burger, which is one of my go to entrees. I ordered it lettuce wrapped and I appreciated that they used butter lettuce as the wrap vs iceberg. It also came with truffle fries which are always delicious. read more

Hey Y'all! I stopped for a quick lunch with my family and it was a pleasant experience. I ordered a Passion Fruit Margarita. It was tasty and I typically do not eat beef, but I enjoyed the carne asada taco and the chicken salad. I did not happen to take pictures of everything, but it was good. My family ordered some drinks as well to go along with the wagyu sliders. They also ordered the fish taco plate and the swordfish tacos. The swordfish was great and the regular fish that they served was decent. Overall they enjoyed their food and drinks. I would definitely recommend you try this place. The service was great, I have no complaints at all. The scenery was nice as you can view the Coronado Hotel across the street, but the only downside was I went on a cloudy day. I can only imagine the beauty when the sun is beaming down. 3/5 Only due to the fact that it was short lived and I did not try multiple things. So, I'm definitely looking forward to returning & exploring other options. read more
