    Crème brûlée
    Sue S.

    Staying on The island for a week. So happy to pop in for Happy Hour. Had the pleasure of Riley taking care of us. She was delightful. We had great food and drinks and her attention to us was amazing !! We had tacos and great snacks. Crab cake. All great. So we loved it so much... a few days later we wanted dinner. Fernando was our server. He too is an incredible server. Had cocktails and Scallops... and crab stuffed shrimp. I will say... there was no crab. Really. Sorry. But service was so great... it didn't matter. He was so kind to bring us an incredible Crème Brûlée. Because we were teasing another couple about their anniversary. ( we are old) What a great establishment!! Can't wait to return. Really. Thank you!

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!

    BRIG FISH TACO PLATE - Single Taco (no Sides)
    Cara H.

    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.

    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.

    Artichoke fritters

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Brigantine! Our server, Amy, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We started with the clam chowder and artichoke fritters, both of which were delicious. For our entrées, we enjoyed the fish tacos, paired perfectly with a glass of white wine and a Cabernet Sauvignon. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The restaurant is in a great location, just a short walk from the beach, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal after spending time by the ocean. We look forward to returning on our next visit!

    House Salad

    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.

    Happy hour menu
    Sue M.

    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!

    Fish n Chips
    Alexa K.

    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.

    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.

    Parmesan encrusted Sand Dabbs
    Eliza J.

    Food is delicious! The calamari, Seafood Cobb, Parmesan Crusted San Dabbs, Blackened Salmon fantastic!!! Service from beginning to end is wonderful. The ambience is so familiar, casual and sea faring classic. Brigantine is a nice restaurant for families, dates, friends to enjoy. Don't forget classic cocktails.

    Taco Tuesday - supplemental to regular menu
    Jennifer B.

    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 !

    Fresh Steamed Clams
    Dan M.

    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.

    BRIG FISH TACO PLATE - Plate with Sides
    Rona B.

    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!

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

    Stopped in for a late afternoon lunch while visiting Coronado Island on a beautiful sunny Monday…read more Open Ambience. It's an order at the counter with a small seating area inside and a nice patio outdoors. Purchase & provided a number. Not only do that have their famous lobster rolls, but they also have additional signature sandwiches, specialty soups, salads and home made cole slaw as just one of their side options. Most people here order the classic lobster roll as did I. That said, you can also customize your roll, plus they offer shrimp and crab choices too! Not to long of a wait, but keep in mind ALL orders are made "fresh to order", so if they're busy it can take a little longer. Presentation was nice and sandwiches are served with a slice of fresh lemon that brightens the taste. The highlight was the decadent butter fried roll. It was warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can taste the butter in each bite. They provide fresh cold water that you can serve yourself which was welcome with the warm weather. Additionally, they have soda and lemonade. It could be considered a bit pricey, but everything I was eating on my San Diego trip near the beach is. Service was friendly and they brought my meal to my table which was nice. Would definitely go again. Note-There are two other locations in the San Diego area. If you have to use the restroom there is not one inside their establishment, it's a few buildings down and they will provide you a key and directions.

    If you find yourself in Coronado and looking for a good bite to eat, I recommend checking out…read moreLobster West. It's a cool, simple establishment no frills or thrills, just good food and straight to the point. Walk in, place your order, grab a spot inside or outside, and when your food is ready, they'll bring it out to you. You can also order to go. The lobster rolls are dangerously delicious! The lobster meat is fresh and tasty, and the bun is soft and just right. My only wish? I could've gone for some really good fries instead of chips with the sandwich. They do offer upgraded chip options, though, so you're not stuck with your typical Lays-type chips. Overall, it's a good spot and definitely worth checking out. I'll be back! Pro tip: Go for The Boss. It has the perfect meat-to-bun ratio.

    FANTASTIC! Absolutely will visit this place every time I'm in the area. I've already spread the…read moreword to a bunch of family and friends. This is very high on my list. Before I get started on the hundreds of amazing things to say about this place, let's start off with one "annoying" thing. It was hard to find. There were absolutely no signs in the hotel pointing you to where the restaurants would be. We also asked several hotel staff members and got even more confused. Once we found the little strip of several restaurants, we accidentally walked right past it thinking it was apart of the NoBu restaurant. Now that I know where it is, I'll know exactly where to go. Let's talk about all the GOOD! The view was beautiful. There were lots of kids playing on the grass in front of the restaurant but the way they set up the place, it wasn't loud at all and cute to see. The staff members were on top of their game. Nothing went unnoticed! They all worked as a team. The Knowledge about the restaurant, the food, and the drinks was very impressive. Even if you couldn't decide, they would happily guide you to make the right choices. - I want to give a shoutout to Mark our waiter. He was an absolute delight. He was witty, knowledgeable, lead us in the right direction, and spoiled us for our birthday celebration dinner. He made the experience 10x better. About the food...I'm still thinking about the delicious food they served and it's been weeks since I was there. I want to put extra attention on the halibut ceviche, WOW! That needs to be a staple is you visit, it's a must try. Also please don't ever take this off the menu! I would solely travel out here just for the alone and buy 5 at a time (yes it was that good). The sauce they put it in makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Everything here is very unique and worth it. There wasn't one bad food item at all. Plus the drinks, were so smooth. If for whatever reason you wanted to alter your drink (like someone at my party did) they were happy to accommodate and then they also executed perfectly. It is a little bit on the pricier side, but once you experience the service, the extra care, and the delicious food you can confidently say it's worth it. I hope more people experience this place, they deserve more than five stars.

    For the record, I'm not one of those people who only leaves one star yelp reviews, I'm usually…read morepretty positive and fair. Based on the price point of the menu, I was excited for this dinner. I left feeling disappointed. Let's start with the good: - Atmosphere: Beautifully designed interior and outdoor tables get a great view of the ocean and courtyard of the hotel - Sides / Apps: Brussels sprouts, patatas bravas, and halibut ceviche were all delicious The bad: - Service: the service was good at the beginning, but the waiter brought the wrong seafood platter (we asked for wood fired specifically, he brought raw). Time in between visits and check-ins was noticeably long. - Entree: I got the wood fired fish, which was Spanish sea bass (I'm blanking on the actual name). It tastes good but was dry. At $60 / lb I was hoping for more The ugly: - Seafood Tower: I am a huge seafood fan and this was what I was looking forward to the most. The waiter brought out the cold one even though we requested the wood fired. This was corrected fairly quickly which I respect, but the product was the sore spot. The shrimp was actually really good, as was the king crab leg (or half, I should say. For $180 I was expecting more than just one bite per person). Lobster was also an embarrassing amount. Oysters were inedible. You can see my photos to see what I'm talking about.
