    Our experience was exceptional and our server was top-notch! We were celebrating my mom‘s 88th birthday on the patio and they catered to our every need, including serving our birthday cake and taking photos of our group.  I would highly recommend Brigantine in Escondido.

    Excellent spot for decor and a quiet lunch after the noon lunch rush leaves. Specials are always worth a try.
