Finally got a chance to try this place out and it DID NOT disappoint!…read more I got the classic fish tacos and my bf got their Cajun mahi mahi (fresh off the grill section of menu) and they were both super delicious and the fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. Staff were helpful and quick to accommodate any requests made by customers, something I both observed and experienced. The Resturant also was really open, had good natural light and seating was comfortable. I don't drink but they also had a good selection of beers and wine. I don't have any photos because we were so hungry haha

Came here after the Safari park because hubby was craving poke. We saw the positive reviews and…read moredecided to come here an order takeout for a late lunch. We ordered the poke plate. It comes with 2 scoops of rice and 3 big scoops of poke. We got the Pearl Harbor, garlic salmon, and got the bluefin tuna, which was an extra $4. The portion was very generous and my husband and I split it. I enjoyed the Pearl Harbor the most, which has a nice umami flavor from the oyster sauce. A close second was the bluefin tuna. The garlic salmon was tasty as well. My only complaint was there were a few sinewy pieces that made it really chewy. Despite this, I thought this place was still worthwhile and a great value for $28. I'll convince hubby to come back when he's craving poke. No pictures of the food bc I was so hungry and inhaled it. Sorry next time I'll get pics of the food and menu.

I'd like to start off by mentioning I've been to this location a few times now. Each time the…read morerestaurant get's a bit busy around lunch. On the positive side, the food is delicious. The reason I am giving this location a 3 star is because of the business itself. I'm not sure if it's the owner or who but each time I've visited, there is only one waiter or waitress attending the entire restaurant. They all look worn out and stressed. At first I was a bit upset with the service being slow, but I realized they are not slow, it's one person attending at least 10+ tables all at one time. This restaurant isn't cheap, I'm sure they can afford an extra person to take orders during their peak hours. I hope these workers get some help soon or this location won't have anyone to work for them because of the burnout.

HONEST REVIEW: BRIGANTINE - Poway This @brig location got a…read morestunning facelift a few years ago and every detail was thought out fully from the upscale nautical accents to the fireplaces and the oyster presentation, it feels like a fancy seafood spot in La Jolla in the heart of Poway! Whether you're dining here for a date night, family lunch, or happy hour, you won't be disappointed. They offer complimentary butter and bread, a sourdough and a pumpernickel, that I could literally eat all day, it was so good. If you want exceptional seafood, you must try this spot, they know how to prepare seafood and the service was exceptional too. Kid friendly with great seafood and non-seafood options (which is rare) and HUGE PORTIONS for just $10. What we ordered: Calamari Strips (Happy hour) - 9/10 we are suckers for calamari strips over the rings and tentacles and the jalapeno cheese sauce just elevates this dish to another level Fried fish slider (Happy hour) - 9/10 huge piece of lightly battered fish with a supper buttery brioche bun Oysters (Happy hour) - 10/10 beautiful presentation! Potato skins (Happy hour) - 7/10 nothing special about these, but they were good Crab & Shrimp Fondue - 10/10 I live for this fondue, it has the perfect balance of seafood and cheese without being too rich, but also the dipping vessel, grilled baguette slices, is a match made in heaven Avocado Swordfish - 10/10 this dish blew my mind, the swordfish melted in my mouth and super creamy cheesy risotto, only miss was there was no seasoning on the broccolini Wok Charred Ahi - very light and flavorful, but also the cook on the ahi was exactly how it should be, seared on the outside w/pink in the center Kids Fried Shrimp - 8/10 I only gave this a lower score because it had a bit too much breading, which our daughter doesn't like, but otherwise the shrimp was cooked perfectly Mud Pie - 9/10 this dessert was enormous and everything you'd expect from a mud pie, no disappointment here!

This Brigantine is close to the Poway AMC. A perfect spot before or after the movies. We missed…read morehappy but decided to go as a large group after a movie. 8 of us found a long table in the bar area. We split some appetizers which were are delicious. We were very disappointed in the kids meals. They were inedible. Unfortunately the kids didn't tell us until the end of the meal. The chicken strips were noticeably Burt when they first came to the table. We sent it back, but apparently they were still inedible the second time as well. The noodles with butter were also inedible. So bad the child didn't want to eat them there or take them home. The fried artichoke, Brussels sprouts, salads and fish tacos were up to our usual standards. Very happy about that. A few cocktails were order as well. One thing our large group appreciated was being able to pay with the QR code and pay by item. It made it easy for us to all pay for ourselves and kids if we had any with us as well as our individual drinks, alcoholic or non alcoholic. Thank you for making that an option. No one wants to do the math or be left paying for someone else's cocktail.

I love going to supermarkets and especially ones that I am not familiar with and like to explore and discover new things to try. This market is fairly small and it had basically two aisles but its filled from floor to ceiling with Russian and Eastern European goods. The front deli case has all the smoked fish you want and also plenty of different kinds of sausages too. And since its the holidays, there are also plenty of fun chocolates and gift items! I chose to buy some rusk bread crisps (salmon and cheese flavored) and Russian style egg salad. Both were good! I didnt know what to expect with Russian style egg salad as it has cheese and fresh garlic in it, so I was a little worried if I didnt like it, but good thing is that I definitely liked it and can definitely pair them with some Carr crackers as a snack! Almost everyone in here was speaking Russian and I definitely felt like a weirdo in there but everyone was nice to me and welcoming. My only gripe is that the rusk crisp was labeled as $1.99 and I was charged $2.50. Id come back here again and try other things too next time.

I've heard great things about this place. Didn't feel like driving to it though because it was a long day at work. I ordered through Uber Eats and I got the Bulgogi, chicken wings (sweet/spicy wet rub), corn cheese and the Soondubu tofu soup. Bulgogi - 7/10; the portion was amazing however I felt that it was lacking flavor. Chicken wings - 8/10; flavor was there it was just a little bit too salty Corn cheese - 9/10; flavor was good, could have had more cheese for the cheesepull lol Soondubu tofu kimchi - 8/10; great portion size & solid flavor Food comes with rice, fish cake, sprouts, cucumber, kimchi and Korean mac salad. Great portion sizes as they were very generous. Flavor was 8 out of 10 in general. i'll have to drive here in person to order from there and try the eel bowl and kimbap.
