We've really enjoyed coming in, especially on weekends with the family. The only reason he says he won't come back is because there's no malt vinegar available. He mentioned that most fish and chip shops usually offer it, and for him it's part of the full experience. I even offered to bring our own, but he's still pretty set on it. Just wanted to pass along the suggestion because we genuinely love the food and would love to keep bringing the whole family in. Hopefully malt vinegar is something the shop might consider adding!

It's been a week since going to the La Mesa Brigantine with my pal, Nancy. I'm still thinking…read moreabout how delicious our food was and how nicely Kylie (I hope I got her name right) treated us. Nancy and I went to the Del Mar Brigantine about a month ago and it was a disappointment as noted in my review of that location (happily and thankfully, they made up for it via our visit to the La Mesa location last Friday) in early August. Last Friday's visit was terrific. We were welcomed immediately and seated where we asked. Kylie greeted us right away and brought us some great bread. For our entrees, Nancy ordered Salmon and I ordered the Crab Stuffed Shrimp. Everything was delicious, absolutely delicious. I had been craving the Crab Stuffed Shrimp when my husband and I went to the IB location with our friends, Bill and Toni, a couple months ago but even though that shrimp is still on their menu today, they didn't, and still don't, have it. Disappointing. When Nancy and I went Brigantine Del Mar we apparently were there at the wrong time of day so I was out of luck that day too. We made a point of getting to the La Mesa location at the right time of day last Friday so I was able to get the shrimp. Obviously the third time's the charm. Thank you, La Mesa Brigantine, for a lovely meal and a lovely time, I appreciate it so much!

We ordered spicy garlic edamame which never came and was on the bill :( I got the shrimp and filet combo and my husband ordered the ninja. The food was fine. Doused in butter and grease but the flavor was good. My husband's sirloin was as a bit tough. Scallops were actually delicious and well prepared. Our chef was great. He made us a special spicy sauce which we appreciated. Wyatt then disappeared on us and we were taken over by another server. The owner was reprimanding him at another table. Overhearing some of the conversation, he was scolding him for not talking to his tables (among other things). This went on for about 15 minutes all the while our new server was just standing at the register hoping we would pay. We were the last ones in there and they advertise they close at 9. At 8:30 we left 1/2 of our drinks due to the uncomfortableness. Wyatt did finally come back and say thank you. Who knows where our tip went- hopefully him. Overall not a good experience. 2 stars this time for the experience.

Our go to has turned into something else, until Tata found us a new place! I can't believe they've been around for a while and we just found them. The dining room is medium sized but they make use of all the space. Friendly greeting when I walked in. Told him I was meeting some friends, and I was given a nice large table! He brought a large piece of butcher paper. When my posse arrived, ordered a cold pitcher of Sapporo....so good! We ordered the seafood lovers and added a pound of shrimp. We also ordered the grilled oysters, waffle fries and garlic noodles. We went with the one and only sauce, medium. Sooooooooo good! Everything was cooked well and seasoned well, and my hands smelled like spice the next day! One thing I really loved was the pop-up napkin dispenser! No fumbling with a paper towel roll. Also loved the mound of lemons given to us! Great place to come to! Looking forward to coming back!

I ordered a bowl and a side of brussel sprouts and specified "no cheese" He was very friendly and professional. When he took my order, he added the note to the receipt "no cheese". Once my food was ready, I double checked the order to make sure there was no cheese. As soon as I opened the Brussel sprouts, I immediately noticed there was parmesan cheese on them. I went back to Justin and showed him there was cheese. He was very apologetic and said he would have them remade immediately. While I waited for the Brussel sprouts to be remade, i noticed 2 employees in the back mocking me and Miranda said to Abraham multiple times "no cheese, no cheese, make sure there's no cheese." They both were laughing hysterically and kept glancing over at me. At this point in time, I was getting agitated that they would make a mockery of such a serious allergy. My dairy allergy is serious and I could be hospitalized if I consume dairy. After waiting another 10 mins, Justin brought over the Brussel sprouts and before handing them to me, he double checked them again. When he opened them he noticed there was still traces of parmesan cheese. Again, Justin was very apologetic and explained that the parmesan cheese must have fallen into the tomatoes. He continued to apologize and offered another side item on the menu. Just was the only professional one and provided exceptional service. As for Miranda and Abraham, they should learn to take people's allergies seriously and not make a mockery of it. Very unprofessional. I hope management escalates this customer experience to ensure other customers don't have to deal with such rude and unprofessional employees like Miranda and Abraham. Please give Justin a raise because he is the only reason why I would ever give my business to this location again.
