Seafood
A San Diego tradition since 1969, the Brigantine has received numerous accolades during our 40+ year history: "BEST SEAFOOD", "BEST CASUAL SEAFOOD", "BEST HAPPY HOUR", and even "BEST SWORDFISH IN THE WORLD", according to USA Today - just to name a few.

Well-known for our signature Clam Chowder, Grilled Swordfish & Crème Brûlée, the Brigantine is a favorite among locals for consistently fresh seafood, succulent steaks & grilled meats.

A favorite destination for locals & tourists alike, the Coronado Brigantine is located in the heart of the village, immediately adjacent to the historic Hotel Del Coronado.

Completely remodeled in 2016, the "new" Coronado Brigantine is an elegant adaptation of its former self. The addition of an intimate private dining room, a surround-seating bar and street-side outdoor patio have been equally well-received.

    We had lunch there before going to a play at Lamb’s Theater across the street. The Brigantine is where we always choose to dine when we are going to the theater. The service is very attentive and not overwhelming and the food is always delicious. I had the crab cake, my friend had the macadamia mahi-mahi, and my other friend had the chef salad. We were all very pleased with our meals.

    Everything was good except for the shrimp in crab and shrimp cobb salad. They were mushy…maybe defrosted from frozen? Left all the shrimps, but everything else was very good and the servers were attentive and the service was very fast.

    No menus to hand out so hostess area backed up since they wouldn’t seat anyone. QR code not available to view menu to we took pic with phone to be able to get seated. Bacon missing off chopped chicken salad, prices affordable for the area, the best server ever.

    We hadn’t been to this location for years and I must say we probably won’t be returning. The new open concept dining room may look nice; however, the noise level was almost unbearable. It was nearly impossible to have a conversation with my husband , which was shocking because we were given the smallest possible table. The usual Saturday night specials we had grown to love over the years were also missing from the menu. No prime rib and no macadamia crusted halibut for Saturday night. All in all, the entire experience was a let down and not what we have grown accustomed to at the brig.

    Normally, one of our go-to spots, usually pretty solid food and interactions with the staff who usually seem pretty engaging and friendly. Today the food was not very flavorful (salad was still solid as usual), broccolini was tasty though, interactions with our wait staff were adequate

    For a highly rated seafood restaurant in the area, we were definitely disappointed. All of our entrees had no seasoning or flavor. We had mahi, salmon, and sea bass. The mahi was extremely bland, not even salt or pepper. The clam chowder tasted like it came from a can and was missing some warm fresh baked sourdough bread. Because my entree had to be remade, the manager at least comped the meal for having to wait (which was appreciated). They were also nice to give my friend and I dessert for our birthdays complimentary. I was looking forward to really good seafood and this was not the place to get it unfortunately, though they did try to make things right.

    Two orders of fish and chips - the fish was excellent. The chips not so good. the order with the shrimp wrapped in bacon was very dry and over cooked with three tiny shrimp. Our previous order a little over a month ago with the shrimp was good, but today it was a big disappointment!

    Mediocre at best. House salad good. Ordered Ahi and Salmon with second dish taking an extra 20 minutes. Tough ahi and bland salmon. Offered “free” blueberry pear cobbler dessert that was half cold half warm. Not tasty. Not going back.

    Love the location! We went there to celebrate my husband's birthday, The Brig is his favorite restaurant, however, we've never been to the Coronado location. From start to finish, everything was great!! Topping off the evening, our server brought out a large portion of their mud pie, with a birthday candle on top, and plenty of spoons for sharing.

    I have been eating at the Brigantine and their partner restaurants for countless years, and this was by far the worst meal I have ever had there and all of those years. Usually no matter which location you eat at the experience and food are phenomenal. Last night it was awful! I’m so sorry to say. My macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi was like raw and it had no flavor at all.

    We made reservations online and only had a choice of 6:15 or 7:30. We took the 6:15 which was a bit earlier than we wanted. Upon arrival and throughout dinner, there were several tables and booths open so not sure why we had to settle for an early time.

    Mixed comments from the party of 10. The restaurant is good for large groups. Food was OK. Fish was a little dry-( two of us had Halibut) I think that with 10 people, hard to keep the fish moist? It needed a sauce. Waiter need to check on the group more frequently than he did. 75% of the group gave it a 8.5-9.0/10

    Food and service was good as well as pricing. But, since the last time we visited a year ago they have added more tables to the inside dining which makes it very close to other diners and difficult for staff to maneuver around the tables.

    Very limited on where we were able to be seated - had just closed a couple of areas. Food was hit and miss - my French toast was not “hot”. Probably sat before coming out. Friend enjoyed her omelet, husband did not (some of the shrimp were not cleaned). We shared a bottle of sparkling wine, all three of us ran out of water (not one refill during service and it was NOT overly busy). I thought I included husband’s birthday on reservation but nothing was said about it. Maybe I forgot. Have been disappointed with this Brigantine location the last couple of times we’ve eaten there. There are plenty of other choices here in Coronado.

    We arrived early for our dinner reservation so we sat at the bar and ordered a drink and appetizer. The atmosphere was pleasant and the waitstaff were friendly and prompt. Afterwards we were seated for dining. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine that was also on sale the day we dined. Overall it was a delicious and pleasant experience. We would definitely recommend and return.

    I have allergies and I came here a little nervous as they have quite a bit in the kitchen that I’m allergic to. However my waitress was very kind and assured me there would be no cross contamination. And everything was great! Food was pretty good but the portions were a little light. The staff was very attentive and nice. Overall, would come back here (after a good payday 😅)!
