About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
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.

Reserve a table in our Del View Dining Room, or walk-in anytime to our Oyster Bar- no reservation needed!

    Customer service at bar was nonexistent, server at table failed to tell us a charge comes with splitting of plates. The interaction with the server was okay and one of our meals was cold.

    We dined at Brigantine for our 48th Anniversary. When we checked in they told us, Happy Anniversary. Our waitress, Kristina, told us Happy Anniversary when she came to wait on us. Food was fantastic. Service was the best.

    We both enjoyed our swordfish and salmon dishes. I thought the roasted brussel sprouts and pork belly appetizer was very good.

    My family and I enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening during spring break. Our waiter was very nice and the ambience in the outdoor/indoor patio was a nice change from being completely inside. We shared the crab/shrimp Cobb salad and it was plenty of food for two people. I would even recommend sharing it for a group of 3-4 if you’re looking for a side salad for each. I think we would come back again if we were looking to visit Coronado.

    We were visiting and this was our favorite meal the whole trip to San Diego. Beautiful setting, great service and the food was delicious. I also felt it was a great value for what we got. I appreciate the kids menu too. :)

    Unfortunately, from starters (oysters and cocktail shrimps) to the mains (swordfish and fish tacos), the food was just bland with no particular taste. Strikingly, the seafood didn't not even smell of sea! Service and attention was good, but the food was far from desirable.

    We enjoyed a pleasant, Sunday afternoon meal at the Brigantine. We had requested exterior seating, which was ideal today. Perfectly prepared Golden Ale battered Cod was Delicious !! As well Wagyu Sliders with Fries. Drinks were refreshed regularly by our server. Condiments provided without our requesting but Greatly Appreciated !! Overall a Fantastic Meal and Environment !!! Thank You 😎 .
