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.

Absolutely terrible service. If the waitress worked in my business I would fire her immediately. Expected much better. Obviously relying on one time tourist customers. Food was average but the bad service made it awful. Lazy at best.

The drink I ordered, a "Rusty Nail", is a fairly simple concoction, scoth and Drambuie. When the server brought it, it looked 'light' in color (Drambuie adds 'darkness'). It tasted 'watery'. The server came back a little later, I told her the problem, she tried the 'other' bartender to replace it, it was 'okay', but a still a little 'light'. Were they running out of Drambuie??? The "wedge salad" was more like 'chopped'. The 'blackened salmon' was 'okay', but lacked flavor. Maybe I should have ordered the usual, the fish tacos. Those have always proved good. And a beer, instead. Also, minimal wine list, FYI. Left the server a nice type. Pleasant, attentive and stayed 'on the job', even though the place was very busy.

Our reservation was honored right away and we had a good table. Our server, Anna, was both efficient and attentive, and friendly as well. We three all had the clam chowder which was delicious and we each had a different entree and were all pleased with our choices. I especially enjoyed the crab cake and cole slaw which was creamy and perfectly seasoned. I've been to this restaurant several times and have never been disappointed.

The service was noticably lackluster, failing to bring beverages after multiple requests, failing to provide silverware and napkins for 2 out of the 4 in our party, and bringing the food in awkward intervals so that everyone didn't get their meals at the same time. I was surprised since it was only 1130 am and we were literally the only people seated on the patio for almost 45 minutes (which made it easy to keep track of our needs). Our server was very friendly, but I expect a little more quality service at the Brig's price point. And the food was decent, but nothing to write home about.

Llegamos 1.45pm. Creo por ser esa hora, mis camarones crujientes estaban muy tostados…por no decir que maduros. A mi compañero no le parecieron buenas las almejas, pero la crema de almejas si.

Our group of 21 was comfortably seated on the patio for a fun, corporate team dinner at Brigantine! From the shared appetizers and cocktails to our individual entrees, everyone loved the food, drinks, and excellent, attentive service we received. A stellar evening out made special for us by the Brigantine staff from pre-event preparation to closing out the evening! Thank you so much!

Had a wonderful meal with a group of eight from our company. Everyone had different entrées from fish to chicken to burger and everyone enjoyed that meal very much. This was the Coronado island location and the service was very good. Called that same day to increase the reservation from 7 to 8 and they were happy to accommodate. No complaints very enjoyable meal.

We used to eat here often but haven’t been since pre-Covid. Being loyal customers of the Brigantine family for more than 40 years, we decided to go back and celebrate a birthday. Our server Fernando was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our dinners were cooked to our specifications and delicious. Overall it was a great experience and we will not wait so long to go back.

Outdoor seating which is converted parking lot. It was a little cool that evening but they had heaters going and was comfortable. Crab & Shrimp Fondue was great, as was the sea bass. Service was outstanding. Outdoor seating area might be due for some sprucing up, but outside of that no complaints.
