    Sword fish taco with fries

    Favorite lunch place in Claremont for tacos. Great service and love the cookie at the end of meal

    Tempura Lobster Tacos

    Went here for a lunch a few months ago and everything was perfect! Beautiful afternoon sitting on the patio overlooking the water. The tempura lobster tacos were my group's fan favorite!

    We are here for the first time today. The place is hidden among businesses and the restaurant sign says "Ketch". There is a parking lot next to the restaurant in the back. We were pleasantly surprised by the food and service. Freddy went out of his way to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. We would definitely come back here. We ordered the following: Salmon Sandwich - 5/5* - ordered blackened with house chips. The fish was cooked perfectly. The chips were excellent and not oily like others house made chips I've had. Swordfish Tacos - 5/5* - ordered with house cut "fat" fries. The fish was cooked to perfection. The fries were seasoned well and the right amount of crispy for me. Chocolate Chip Cookies - 5/5* - Came as complimentary with the meals.

    I went there to celebrate with my co-sisters for my birthday and we were so graciously treated with so much kindness! The manager John Lee was so attentive to us and he even offered us free dessert since we were celebrating and it brought sunshine on such a gloomy San Diego day! I definitely recommend this restaurant and location! You will not be disappointed with the views and service! Shout out to John Lee! Supreme service!!

    I finally got a chance to check out the Brig HQ on a weekday. It's located off convoy just a block away from the Starbucks drive thru. There is street parking and also a private lot next to their business. They place a sign on the side walk so it's not hard to find this place. The restaurant isn't too large, I'd say a max capacity of less than 50 people. This is a casual place, you can order at the register and your food will be served at your table. I was pleasantly surprised that this location includes Brigantine's newest project Ketch Brewing so we had the option to try their tap and their food. The menu rotates every Tuesday with their staple Brig HQ burger and fish tacos remaining on the menu daily. These fish tacos are one of the most popular dishes at the actual Brigantine restaurants so it's nice that it's available here too. The menu list is small, maybe 10 items or less. We ordered the Brig HQ burger, bbq wings and the ahi sandwich (catch of the day special). All menu items were under $13 and for non beer drinkers they offer stubborn soda fountain drinks. The Brig HQ burger was rather large with a double meat patty and cheese. I hate to say this but I found the meat gamey so I thought the grilled onions and cheese helped mask that taste. I won't order that again, because after all Brigantine specializes in seafood so I should've known better than to order a beef dish. However, the seasoned steak fries that came with it, were thick, fried but soggy which are my favorite qualities in fries. I would definitely order the fries again. The ahi sandwich was served on a toasted brioche bun with sliced up lettuce. Combine this with their tartar mayo =delish. Our meal was topped off with complimentary warm baked chocolate chip cookies. Nothing beats a fresh warm cookie after a savory meal. The staff was also very friendly, particularly the woman who was placing orders and serving the entire place. She made us feel at home and you could tell she knew a lot of the regulars who probably walk over from neighboring businesses. Since this is a test kitchen I was wondering if we'd be asked to fill out a survey or have an opportunity to give our opinions about the new dishes but that wasn't the case. Overall, it was like eating at a casual version of Brigantine which is much quicker.

    Came by on a recommendation from a friend of mine and immediately liked this place because of the ambiance. Clean modern design combined with a playlist playing overhead that could have easily matched one of mine - classic rock - Steve Miller laying down "keep on rockin me baby" followed by one of my favorite Van Morrison songs, "into the mystic". The place smells good too, sometimes a sign that the food is good.....which brings me to the food - delicious! Since my first intro I have tried lots of menu items. Because it's a test kitchen, menu options do change but their staple items include great salads that can include freshly grilled or blackened salmon or ahi tuna. The crispy calamari and peppers are a good choice as an appetizer enough for 3 or 4 to share and is tasty with the aioli and soy glaze. I've also had the burger, fish tacos, and ahi and salmon sandwiches and everything has beef excellent. Plates come with choice of fresh cut fries, chips or salad. They are now a full fledged brewery also, offering at least 6 different locally crafted beers. The only downside is they close at 2 pm, so I haven't had a chance to taste the beer The best part of the meal comes at the end when "Gaby" brings a fresh made chocolate chip cookie to finish off the meal. Gaby is superstar who not only takes your order, but delivers it as well.....and always with a smile! Today I ordered the Salmon BLT, an item that's not in the menu today but has appeared in the past and they happily made it for me. Bottom line, this place is really good!

    Salmon BLT
    Jack M.

    I have to say I am quite fond of this Brig HQ pub & eatery with its very causal and touch of trendy attitude and low key but well inspired menu. They are only opened for lunch at this time craft beer on tap is just around the corner. I order a daily special: the salmon BLT served on a toasted brioche bun and served with a side of house made potato chips. I asked for my salmon to be prepared at a medium temp and they hit my expectation right on the mark. To make matters better, the salmon was delicious with its seasoning and moderate searing on its exterior. It was very moist and tender. It was a quality piece of fish. The salmon BLT's bacon was terrific and had a slight crisp and excellent chew. It flavor was not to shabby as well. Good stuff. I was happy that they did not hold back on the avocado slices as many places do, and that the tomatoes slices were of good size and juicy. This was definitely a proper BLT with something extra. The brioche bun was well toasted and came glistening with joy. It was a very good quality tasty bun and it held up well to the ingredients in between. The salmon BLT also came with a sauce. I can't remember exactly what it was but it was delicious and creamy. The house made potato chips were good. They had good seasoning and tasted great, but their texture was inconsistent. So the chips were crisp, others were hard, and some to soft. Consistency is important in this case You order at the counter and that is where I met "Gabby" who was and is an absolute super star. She was very cordial and had great sense of humor. Her personality made the meal that much better.

    This is their luscious Quinoa Burger. $10 and hefty portion. Lots of fresh cut fries with it.

    This is a terrific place to hit for lunch. Bring HQ is the Brigantine's test kitchen. All ingredients are fresh as can be and servings are ample. Their menu changes weekly. No item on today's menu was priced above $12. I ordered their Quinoa Veggie Burger. It was brought to my table with a hefty helping of fresh steak fries. I wouldn't have expected the fries since my burger was larger than my outstretched hand. Everything was piping warm and full of flavor. They offer a large selection of sodas, beers and wines. Their employee who was running the front part of this restaurant was a very warm, bright and kind woman by the name of Gabby. Plenty of seating inside. Clean dining room and clean restrooms. Lots of free parking right outside their front door. Quinoa Burger. Lots of flavor. Lots of free parking. Two large flatscreen TVs. I love this place. We also ordered their Grilled Swordfish Tacos. Generous two taco plate for $10. My daughter ordered their American Hamburger with fresh fries. I tasted it. Incredible. As we were packing up to leave Gabby brought us over fresh baked cookies. I usually pass on cookies but ate this one all up. Wonderful place.

Although I was drawn to the fun name, the walnut-infused bourbon was too enticing to pass up, especially because they paired it with Montenegro (Amaro) and sweet vermouth. So it's a fancy Manhattan variation. It was delish!!!!!! Make sure when you go to the amazing beaches next time in SD, check out Moe's. You'll love the food and cocktails as much as the vibe.

Our reservations were early, arriving on time @ 5:30 it was a bit quiet with only two other tables, but not for long. In no time every single table was filled. The restaurant was busy and the wine was a'flowin'! This quaint and very special restaurant reminds me of a small restaurant in San Diego in the 1980's, "Ciao Bella". It was located downtown on 4th Ave., it was also chef-owned. When you dine at a chef owned restaurant you are most likely destined for greatness, or a great meal! This is the case at Angela's Kitchen 'Carbon', because there is pure authenticity in her dishes and a whole lotta' love delivered in each plate. The subtle, warm decor is welcoming and the music is played at the perfect level. Just the right ambiance. Once seated, you'll be promptly greeted and the attentive wait staff will have your wine delivered pronto. What a selection they have. I started with the prosecco and moved on to the Sangiovese which complimented my pappardelle perfectly. My friend ordered the grilled salmon and had the Montepulciano Abate Pietro. The delivery of their fresh bread with garlicky pesto, and another with tomato, which I think was a focaccia. Just amazing. We asked for olive oil to compliment the bread: it was the very best of quality with a dark Sicilian olive green hue and the smoothness with the polyphenols and antioxidants dancing in my mouth. Yum! I asked for a side of Parmigiano and they brought a nice square ramekin full of finely grated cheese, Perfection!! These are the details that make me fall in love with a restaurant, causing me to return again and again. Both of our entrees were executed perfectly, the vegetables were grilled leaving a slight char, and the salmon was grilled just right leaving a tender center. My pappardelle was dressed in the deepest, richest mushroom + beef cheek fusion of flavors with whispers of some kind of red wine like maybe the Nero d'Avola that they feature on the menu. WoW!! This is a dish that you want to take your time savoring. Every bite surpassed the last, and then a sip of the Sangiovese and I was in fresh pasta heaven. Just when we were winding down and reeling from being overwhelmed by the amazing food, Angela came to our table with cannoli. It too was amazing! This was such a kind and unexpected gesture from the chef/owner. Grazie mille, a domani!
