    Chips & pico de gallo, hazy ipa
    James W.

    Tasty fish tacos & wraps. My wife thought their shrimp tacos were some of the best she's ever had. I had a wild-caught catch-of-the-day swordfish Coastal wrap which was also delicious. We added a side chips & pico de gallo & Hazy IPA - great lunch - so much better than fast food after hiking Annie's Trail. A bit pricier but fresh & high quality.

    I have been going here for a while when down this way. This is a go-to spot to keep on your list for consistently tasty, fast (but not fast food), fresh food at a great value. Prices here beat out most other places you can go and you can walk out of here for a great meal for under $20. We like the fish tacos (huge and stuffed with fish and cabbage and stuff), salmon sandwich-tasty salmon filet with slaw of carrot, cucumber, lettuce and other tasty stuff, fish and chips (portion of two pieces is plenty for most people), fried shrimp is good too. Poke bowls are also a great choice. Haven't had a meal that I haven't been satisfied with here. Put this on you keeper list. It's a must visit.

    Mahi Burger

    Nice little casual joint located amidst a shopping center in Solana Beach. The menu is pretty good and the service is average. That said, the Mahi Burger and the fries here are amazing!

    Cup of Clam Chowder

    PLAZA EATS (3.5 stars) - FOOD: average - PRICE: fair - SERVICE: good - AMBIANCE: simple eatery with tables Located in a plaza in the sleepy neighborhood of Solano Beach is this little eatery serving up fried seafood. Not very busy but feel like the people that do come here are frequent flyers. BATTERED FISH - KIDS MEAL ($10.5) - Two fish pieces, served with a side/picked French fries, and a drink. What can I say? I eat like a bird. This meal was very filling that I had to pack half of it. It was plenty for a kids meal but I always wasn't devouring it because it was just okay-average. The batter on the fish tasted like plain fried donut (no seasoning and kind of cake-y flavor). The fries were crispy but plain. You do have to reply on the dips and condiments for flavor. I squirted lemon and tried both dipping sauces (dill dip which tasted like ranch and dill and tartar sauce; tartar sauce was a lot better). RECOMMEND CUP OF NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER ($7.5) - Clams, creme, potato, onion, carrot, celery. I was impressed with their clam chowder until after my meal I had the urgency to "drop the kids off at the poolside". It was hearty and creamy, not stringy on the clam meat, and full of flavor. Was it my favorite? it was good but I've had better. RECOMMEND (TUMS Recommended) Until the next review....

    Clam chowder

    I looked at the menu before and knew I wanted the clam chowder and fish and chips on this chilly day. The place is a fast casual place. Plenty of seating, you can sit down and they have a QR menu and you can directly order from your seat. Very reasonable priced, the most expensive item on their menu is $16. The food was great, we ordered clam chowder cup with a Half tuna melt for an extra $6.50; and fish and chips. Would recommend this place, from the tartar sauce, the crispy exterior well seasoned soft on the inside fish and chips. The tuna melt wasn't super mayo-ish and bread was well toasted. They had a selection on non seafood items as well as wine/beer list.

    For a local chain this location rocks. Right off the highway with easy access to the hiking trails. Some of the best and fish and chips that can be easily customized that one can get . The real surprise was the bowl of clam chowder. It looked small for a bowl and was not a good start but it was super packed with clams and minimal potatoes which a lot of places just cram it with. Sides were small but tasty. Can't complain about anything

    I absolutely love this place! We used to have one in Orange County, but it unfortunately closed. My favorites are there fish tacos and fish and chips. They are fried to absolute perfection! The staff is always kind and their service is quick. This location is not too busy on the weekends too.Cant wait to be back!

Ambience- the location speaks for itself There is beauty everywhere How can you not be in a good mood sitting here in this restaurant? We sat outside by the water fountain/pond I will say now it would have been great to have music but I don't recall hearing any! Food we started with the coconut shrimp I will say these were a little over done to my liking But the sauce and mixture with the coconut was done nicely without being overpowering. Salads we had the Caesar salad- real dressing so heads up if you prefer bottle version. Nice croutons not big portions. Dinner: my husband as always did the filet with jumbo shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus and I ordered the Wagu burger. For the record if you go back into any and most of my reviews I order fish and especially on the water in San Diego but I couldn't help but notice the guys burger next to me and well I ordered it. I am so happy I did too!!! So it was one of the best damn burgers I have had in a long long time! Geez was it good My husband's filet was cooked perfectly he loved that it wasn't tiny! The Mashed potatoes seasoned and flavorful! Dessert: I did a crème brûlée- it was good but if I come back it won't be for the crème brûlée! It will be for that beautiful, burger!!! Well done Brigantine!

    I'm sorry to say this but the Brigantine strikes again and not in a good way. We went to the IB…read moreBrigantine a few weeks ago. Despite their over-the-phone assurance prior to that visit that a particular menu item, Crab Stuffed Tiger Shrimp, was available, it was not. I wrote a Yelp review describing our experience that day and quickly got a very nice message (I assumed from management) expressing their desire to make things right but that response was taken down in less than 24 hours before I had a chance to reply. Fast forward to a couple days ago, August 3rd. A much-cherished friend and I had to be in the Del Mar area on 8/3, so a week before, I called them and asked if the stuffed shrimp shown on their menu was available and, if so, were there any time restrictions. The person I spoke to stated that it was available and could be ordered any time we came in. I was so happy to hear that after not being able to get it at the IB location. When we went to the Del Mar location on 8/3 in the afternoon, I tried to order it and was told by the server, who was not at all friendly, that the kitchen was closed until 5:00pm and that we could only order off the Oyster Bar menu. Note that the online hours don't state that the "kitchen" hours are different than the "Oyster Bar" hours. Perhaps that explains why the woman over the phone stated that the stuffed shrimp can be ordered at any time. If this is true, I respectfully suggest they update the hours shown online. Quite disappointing that once again despite reassurances, I was not able to order my favorite thing on the menu that's always available at the La Mesa and downtown San Diego locations (regardless of the time) AND is also on the IB and Del Mar menus. Our server on 8/3 was not the least bit welcoming but everyone else was nice. He came by quickly enough upon us selecting our table but didn't bother to welcome us even or introduce himself and after 15-20 seconds of uncomfortable silence, he finally just asked if we wanted something. To his credit he did bring us what we ordered (except the shrimp of course!) fast enough but after that walked by our table many times and only stopped by once when we flagged him down and once after that to tell us he was leaving and that Gabby would be taking over....maybe hoping that we would close out right then so as not needing to share his tip with her. We were not done yet, so Gabby did take over and she was terrific; and quite a contrast to the original server whose name I never got. I'm a South County resident so not at all likely to return to the Del Mar Brigantine in the future especially knowing the shrimp might not be available. My final comments...and sorry for being so "wordy" here is that the doors facing the racetrack were wide open which let in the very warm and humid air so the ambiance was not comfortable. The restaurant itself is pleasantly clean and beautifully decorated.

We have been fortunate enough to visit exceptional restaurants in several countries, including throughout Europe, as well as renowned five-star restaurants in Mexico. However, the service we received last night deserves special recognition. Our server, Brian O'Malley, executed every stage of service with a level of excellence that is difficult to find today. His attention was impeccable, professional, warm, and perfectly coordinated. He was always present at exactly the right moment without ever being intrusive, carefully attending to every detail and making us feel genuinely well cared for. The quality of the food was extraordinary, but Brian's hospitality elevated the entire experience to another level. At a time when people often speak only about the establishments themselves, I believe it is equally important to recognize the individuals who make it possible for an evening to become an unforgettable memory.

I was quickly seated and able to choose any table I wanted, so I picked a little spot in the corner where I could enjoy some much-needed "me time" during my vacation while my daughter played at the beach. I asked what she thought would suit the mood for my solo lunch date, and she immediately raved about the empanada and sangria, so of course I went with her recommendations. The empanada was absolutely phenomenal, and I'm so glad I listened to her! I also enjoyed the two sauces it came with and the salad. It adds a nice touch to the hefty little beef empanada (also packed with flavor!) I also have to mention the ambiance. The seating is so cute, there's plenty of shade, and you're right by the beach. It's giving relaxation, positive vibes, and genuinely great food. Hawaiian reggae is playing and it's definitely a sign to come back because it's my favorite genre. I already know I'll be coming back the next time I visit San Diego because there's so much more I want to try here. The squid ink ravioli is at the top of my list, along with the baby chicken and the chef's choice soup of the day. Bella, thank you for making my afternoon brighter than I anticipated. From a mom who really needed a little break, a delicious meal, and a great conversation with a stranger, I cannot thank you enough. You made my solo lunch date feel extra special.
