About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
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!

    We had an early dinner on Saturday night and beat the crowd. I ordered appetizers which included shrimp cocktail and clam chowder. The shrimp cocktail was delicious. There were 12 shrimp on the plate and they tasted great!!! The bowl of clam chowder was very good although it could have been a little hotter. My wife got the fish and chips which were very good and a good sized portion. Overall I would highly recommend the restaurant.

    This app confirmed outside seating. The hostess called us right away to say the outside was fully booked, I explained we had a dog. She said “we will figure something out” and they did! It was great! Server was great, people were nice, everyone loved the dog! We will be back

    Lovely table on the patio away from crowd, as requested since I am immune compromised. Great service and all entrees were delicious especially the day boat scallops. Good children’s menu too.

    Great seafood and service on Father’s Day! Had a group of 7 and they were very accommodating! Mahi Mahi and swordfish was delicious. Two of us also loved the waygu burger!! Great place for good seafood in downtown Coronado.

    As usual, excellent food and service. We find the Coronado Brig a little noisy for conversation due to closeness of tables and size of groups.

    Service and atmosphere was very good. And the staff was able to give us a big booth for the two us, as requested in our reservation. Food was served hot and was very good. My only mild complaint is the bread was very average and slightly stale. I would expect a better selection at this level of restaurant. But highly recommend this restaurant.

    It was OK the food was lacking flavor we ordered the wagyu burger and it was nothing special, it was lacking flavor. I have to say do not order the scallops, super over priced for 4 scallops and some bacon, corn and bell peppers it was salty, it was missing a side o f mashed potatoes or something. The plate was $44, not worth it at all! I ended up eating the fries of my kids plates because the amount on food on the scallops was not enough. We went for dinner and I have to say the bar menu is a lot tastier, has more variety and has better prices. Also we were seated in the back room and it felt secluded. I don’t think I will return to have dinner, maybe lunch or happy hour. The dinner menu was lacking in dishes and the ingredients were not good to make up for the increased price. The ambiance is better at the bar area. The back room… needs to go. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and I ended up apologizing for the not so memorable experience. The service was ok. I did order some drinks that were not on the menu, and they made them for us which was nice. I did not leave satisfied, bummer.
