We were very disappointed having been here in years past. The macadamia shrimp was overcooked, the Moscow mule was not good and my iced tea was simply refilled with the same lemon and straw in my glass when the waitress returned. read more

Porking: There is street parking and also paid parking further down the road if you need it. Service: The service was very profeasiar nal. Our server, I forgot her name unfortunately wes one off the best servers I've ever come across. She gave her recommendation and shared her thoughts on items that we valued alot. Food: Food was amazing . I had the shrimp as an appetizer which was crunchy, hot, and delicious. I ordered the lobster tacos which even though it was 2, was delicious and very filing. For dessert I had the flouress chocolate cake which was the sugar on top to a great meal. For drinks I had a vingin strawberry mojito, which is one of the best that I've ever had. Ambiance: Ambiance was great. We were able to get a booth away from the huge crowd on the other side of the restaurant which was appreciated. Opportnities: One thing I can point out is the fries on my order. They weren't fresh, but when l informed a team member I was able to get a fresh plate within minutes. That wasn't much of a be deal to me, and l appreciate the turn around time to how quick i was able to get served. Overall: This was my first time at this location and I enjoyed everything about it. I'd definitely come back for the service and my particular server as well. She did a great Job! read more

Nice dinner last night! The place was packed and well decorated for the holidays! We had a god experience with food, drinks and service provided. We made reservations for outside and were able to be accommodated inside. We enjoyed the crab cake but not so much the calamari. Clam chowder was delicious. I had the shrimp and grits and shrimp was well seasoned I would definitely eat that again. Pork dish and burger was a great portion. Pork glaze was so good.My favorite was for sure the passion fruit margarita!!! We will definitely come back! read more

I was really excited to have dinner here with my girlfriends after a full day of golfing. We booked a reservation a week ago and we were promptly seated. The staff was very helpful and kind. The place has a good atmosphere and the location is gorgeous. However, I can't believe how disappointed I am with the food. Absolutely everything but the dessert was underwhelming. The calamari was soggy and bland. The three of us who ordered the chowder received cold soups that had no flavor. The crab and shrimp fondue was also cold and it tasted like cream and butter. No crab or shrimp or any other flavors whatsoever were found in it. The wedge salad and seared eggplant that my friends ordered were also a let down, according to them. Our ice cream cake was the only item all four of us enjoyed. I am a bit baffled because I've heard great things about this restaurant and the staff was so nice. But at the end of the day, this was an incredibly overpriced dinner for such disappointing food :/ read more

Ordered the mule, which was fantastic My girl had the grapefruit fresca; she says it was delicious, and very fresh, no bitterness She also had the abnormal blonde, which was lovely Had a half dozen Mintzer sweet on the half shell; my girl loved the sweetness, and we both felt like the mouth feel was more pleasant than blue points, but went ahead and ordered a half dozen blue points They were all amazing My girl had the Tiger shrimp and grits She said it was nice and cheesy, grits were beautifully cooked, firm bite, nicely seasoned The linguica didn't really add to the dish, and for her was slightly off putting Shrimp seemed slightly overcooked, but the flavor was on point, and the sauce on the shrimp was amazing, with a nice lemony bite I had a bowl of the Brig chowder; the volume seemed a bit light, especially given the price, and it was more liquidy than I'm accustomed to (I've had gallons and gallons of chowder all over the country) The ratio of potato and bacon to clam was off, and though the flavor was there, it could have used more clams Toasted s'mores brownie had great flavor, but the actual brownie was very dry, and the texture took away from the dish Honestly, the toasted marshmallow was the best part of the dessert 7.5/10; would come back, would recommend with caveats read more

Had the best dinner, food was delicious and Jill our waiter was beyond amazing! one of my fav restaurants in nado!

Decent prices but the food is average at best. Fried calamari tastes frozen and just warmed up. Sliders are blah

Had dinner here and it did not disappoint. It was pretty busy when we stopped by on the Saturday of Fourth of July weekend. Our wait was about 45 mins. We people watched while we waited so the wait was not at all bad. We were seated outside on the patio and they had the heaters on. It felt good since it was already starting to get cold out. Our waitress came over right away and took our drink orders. She did explain to us that that week was her first week of working there and so she apologized for being a little slow and for not knowing the menu too well. We didn't mind. We ordered a few different dishes. We started with the fresh oysters as an appetizer and they came out pretty quick. Our entrees included: Clam chowder Grilled marinated swordfish Crab stuffed tiger shrimp Grilled salmon Wok charred Ahi I had the swordfish and it was sooooo good. It was perfectly seasoned and nicely paired with the broccolinis and the risotto. The clam chowder was also a hit. It was perfect for a cold evening. The stuffed tiger shrimp was delicious! Was able to sample a piece and I instantly regretted not ordering that dish. The service was great the rest of the night and the food was good. I will definitely be back again when in the area! read more

Ate here twice this month. The first time was better than than the second. First time I had the mahi mahi sandwich (I asked for the Mac nut crusted mahi and they were able to do that for me. The sand which was delicious!! The second time I got it the way it came and really didn't care for it at all. The fish didn't taste as good. My husband got the same and didn't like it. My mom got a French dip and didn't like that the bread wasn't toasted and wasn't overly impressed. Calamari appetizer was good! Seems like nice waitresses and staff. I would go back but wouldn't order the same food. read more

Go figure I'd go to Brigantine Seafood & Oyster Bar ................. and order a Wagyu burger. I was in the mood for a burger, and it worked. As you can see from my pic, this restaurant is on the sidewalk and we ate inside, but along the windows. It was a great people watching day. The drinks were refreshing and the skinny Margarita was good. The staff was attentive and answered our questions. The Wagyu Burger is a half-pound patty. It was a bit over cooked to order, but the seasoning and the flavor of the burger was good. Its aroma was particularly good. The rest of the burger fixings were okay. The bacon was fairly thin and the other fixings didn't have pronounced flavors: good because it didn't detract from the American wagyu burger but it also didn't necessarily enhance the burger, either. The fries also were okay - added salt helped a lot. It has a good atmosphere and patrons were having a good time. read more

We stopped in this location for an early lunch/brunch about 11:15 while walking to the Del in Coronado. A very nice place, well decorated and welcoming. We were seated right away outside, such a beautiful day in Coronado. We ordered the crab and shrimp Cobb salad and the fish tacos. Once the food arrived, everything was great, crab and shrimp Cobb was fresh and well prepared and the fish tacos were great with a bit of hot sauce, prices are a bit elevated but to be expected on Coronado. Service was unfortunately lacking on this day. They were polite and nice but it appeared even with minimal people inside and out, the back kitchen was super slow. Drinks ordered, 15 minutes later the drinks arrived (two waters, a diet and an Arnold Palmer), different server arrived after that to take the lunch order, food arrived at the 1 hour, 20 minute mark from sitting down, we walked away after the bill a little after 1pm. Don't know what happened there maybe a bad server handoff or maybe an off day for the kitchen but the food was good nonetheless. Just give yourself some time if you are on a schedule. Give it a try. read more

Good but nothing to really rave about...food was average. Our servers was friendly. Drinks were underwhelming, overly sweet and very watered down. Don't recommend the chowder, super salty, we couldn't eat it:( my husband had fish tacos and rated them a 3 out of 5. I had seafood louis and both the crab and shrimp were ick, tasted like they just thawed from freezer, extremely soggy. Location is great, clean bathrooms, nice patio. read more

Jill provided the best service since we arrived in San Diego! The food paired with the exceptional service made our last night in Coronado so special. If you're staying nearby, this is a must try place - order the fish & chips - 12/10!! read more

I'd been to the other location but this was my first time here. We had oysters, enjoyed some taco Tuesday options and DH had the fish and chips. What really impressed me was the service. Adrianna was so thoughtful and attentive and kept us up to date on our entrees to let us know when to expect them. Even the kid who sat us down was a total charmer, I think his name was Griffin? Anyway, great attitude and obviously a hard worker. Come for the food, come back for the service! read more

My family of 3 came here during lunch around 1pm on a Saturday and were seated right away. We ordered half a dozen oysters and the shrimp and crab salad for appetizers. The oysters were fresh! The salad was delicious with large, plump shrimps and crab meat. The pieces of crab were fresh but not fishy at all! For entrées, we ordered the crab cake sandwich, lobster tempura tacos, and the crab stuffed tiger shrimp. The crab cake was made of only crab meat (no extra filling) and came with coleslaw and potato chips. The lobster tacos were crispy and fresh as well! The crab stuffed tiger shrimps were wrapped with bacon on a bed of mashed potato. Service was great and atmosphere is great for a nice family lunch or nice dinner date. Highly recommend! read more

I'm a repeat customer, but haven't been in some time. Service was very good. No issues there. Nice job today. Overall, the food and drink were below what I expected of this restaurant. Crab cake: advertised as "lump crab"... but there was no crab. Just cheaper crab... which is fine. But don't advertise it as "Lump Crab". The cole slaw bed the crab cake was on was made with entirely too much mayonnaise. The crab cake itself had too much mayonnaise. Brussel Sprouts: dripping in oil and entirely too sweet. This ranked as the #1 worst item. After a few bites we just left it. Old fashioned: Slightly below average. Muddled with a maraschino cherry and not a Luxardo cherry? For $16, it needs to be made much better. Mai Tai: entirely too sweet. Very disappointed, as past experiences here have been good... which is why we returned. Thanks for reading. read more

Brigantine - Seafood Near Me - Coronado, California

While wandering around Coronado, after a beautiful drive during the sunset hours, we stumbled upon Brigantine. We did not stick to our original plans/reservations because of the other restaurant's closing hours. We were glad Brigantine was able to seat my bf & I right away and have our monthie dinner. It was chilly after sundown even though we chose to sit outside - but the staff was very accommodating and turned on the heat lamp (early summer in July). The night was romantic and the mood was set for our dindin - we were able to see palm trees and some of the string lights across the street from Hotel del Coronado. We ordered crispy brussel sprouts and a crab & shrimp cobb half salad (which was HUGE) as starters. For our mains, we got the lobster tempura tacos & the ketch-ale brined chops. For drinks, we got the blackberry spritzer & a glass of riesling (can't remember)? The brussel sprouts were the star of the show! Super crispy and flavorful; the pork belly pieces added a nice touch of savory and sweetness to the charred brussels. The lobster tempura tacos were good - don't be intimidated by the blue-corn tortilla, very yummy and the lobster was fresh. The pork chops were better than expected for my bf & I. We aren't huge pork eaters but they were cooked perfectly with beautiful grill marks, and the mushroom sauce was the perfect pairing. We were way too stuffed and def over-ordered to make a dent in the salad but all the ingredients looked super fresh and we packed it to go (heh, wasn't that great the next day but what salad is good overnight, right?). The blackberry spritzer was made to my liking, with just enough alcohol and bubbly. Bf said the reisling recommended was sweet enough as well. *the only part we weren't satisfied with was the veggies; the carrots and string beans that accompanied our mains tasted like frozen veggies from a bag. We got our veggie intake from some of the salad we were able to fit in our bellies. Overall it was the perfect meal to celebrate our monthiversary. The bill came out to be about ~$135 including T&T. Service was super attentive and friendly! We did not feel rushed at any moment during our approximate 2-hour dining even though there was a decent amount of people. They also had a feature where you can pay by scanning the receipt and using your cc - super convenient. Highly recommend if you're exploring Coronado island and want to check out the Hotel del Coronado for a post-dinner stroll as well. read more

We came for dinner on a Thursday and enjoyed the outside patio. Service was friendly and fast. Plenty of inside and outside seating. We enjoyed our cups of clam chowder, shrimp and crab salad and grilled swordfish with risotto. The salad was huge! The risotto needed more taste and the swordfish became dry after a while but it tasted good. Overall it's a good place to eat with an array of choices to choose from. read more

Stopped by after soaking up some sun on the beach in anticipation of filling up during happy hour. I'm no happy hour expert, but the offering here seemed pretty sweet. It took a bit of investigation to figure out if they did happy hour, what time it was, and what was on the discounted menu, but we were extremely satisfied with our experience after filling up. The happy hour menu consisted of some drinks, some small plates, and some sliders. Everything was the same price, so we got a margarita, a Moscow mule, three oysters on the half shell, the potato skins, and the ahi tuna slider. You must sit bar side to participate. In my experience, ordering oysters can be a bit of a hit or miss depending on what type of oyster is being served, but the ones here were definitely to my liking. They were a good size with a delicious balance of sweet and salty. I like to squeeze just a bit of lemon juice on top but pass on the cocktail sauce and horseradish. The ahi tuna slider definitely had strong horseradish flavor, it wasn't my favorite but not a bad option to have for happy hour. The fries that it came with were just alright, nothing special. The potato skins came with lots of cheese and sour cream, I'm a huge fan of loaded baked potatoes so I was really excited for this. The ends of the potatoes were a bit extra crispy, but again a good option for happy hour. The Moscow mule tasted very strong, whether it was the vodka or the ginger in the ginger beer or the carbonation of that I'm not sure, but not my personal favorite. I'm no personally a big fan of margaritas due to their slushy texture, but the one here was more of a liquid and more to my liking. After we polished off our happy hour choices, we decided to go for the oysters rock off the happy hour menu. These oysters came fully, fully loaded with toppings. One oyster was easily two or three bites, and while I appreciated the generosity it was just overwhelmingly rich to be enjoyable. The contrast between the warm topping and the slightly lukewarm oyster wasn't the friendliest to my stomach, so consume in moderation. I ended up taking the topping off and putting it on my potato skins instead, which made those taste extra delicious. Overall, this is a great choice for a happy hour especially if you're not looking to go far from the beach. read more

I've eaten at this place several times over the years and it's consistently awesome! PROs: Large space with multiple seating options, indoor and outdoor. Always a cool decor and vibe. The staff is always attentive, knowledgable, and courteous. Bathrooms are always clean. The menu is diverse however not overwhelming. The full bar has a great selection of wine, beer, and stronger libations. My personnel favorite day to go is Tuesday, for TACO TUESDAY! I strongly recommend the calamari and classic fish tacos!

We were there tonight for happy hour and sat at bar where a female customer had her dirty purse and sweaty old hat on the bar top. She was taking up two spots at the bar because of purse and hat placement. So, patrons eating and drinking at the bar had to have this view while eating and drinking. She left and I asked the bartender why they would allow her to put purse and nasty hat on the bar and she said well the lady comes in 3-4 times a week and they don't know what to do. It's unsanitary and disgusting! They need to require hats and bags to be held in lap or on the floor! Problem solved read more

I told my manfriend that I wanted to eat out at a restaurant (feeling stuck at home). He took me to Brigantine on Coronado Island, CA. According to their website, Brigantine is known for their San Diego-style Surf & Turf. Owned by Morton Family (first Brigantine was opened in 1969 in Shelter Island, San Diego, CA). I visited Brigantine on a Sunday (brunch time) back in April 2021 (I know - late review) and sat in their outdoor seating area. I tried the following: - Cocktail (Spa Day) - Raw Oysters - Crab Cake Benedict - Coconut Macadamia Crusted French Toast (this was more like a dessert) Delicious. My favorite was the Coconut Macadamia Crusted French Toast (sweet tooth) and it also came with eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes (breakfast / brunch foods). Great combo! ENJOY!! read more

This was my first time visiting one of the Brigantine franchises. The restaurant is very spacious and is great for large parties. For our visit, we ordered the following off the happy hour menu: - Oyster shooters - Raw oysters - Brig clam chowder - Batter fried white fish sandwich Off the regular dinner menu, we got the Louie crab & shrimp sandwich. Personally, I did not care for the raw oysters. They were too big and too creamy. I normally love raw oysters, bit did not enjoy these at all. The brig clam chowder was a bit too creamy and barely had any clams. It was at most a potato chowder. The fried fish sandwich was good, the fish was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The Louie crab and shrimp salad was the best thing we ordered. The veggies were very fresh and the large plate came with a generous serving of crab and shrimp. I definitely recommend this! Overall, we had a pleasant experience here. I'd say it's a borderline between a 3 and 4. Our waitress was nice, so I rounded up. read more
