    2 hours and 20 minutes for dinner from sit down to paying is unacceptabel. The service was poor and not very attentive. First, we waited 20 mins for drinks and then the food was cold. We ordered chicken tenders for a child and they came as overdone chicken cutlets. At 2 different times we had to ask staff to clear the table. A complete catastrophe for my wife's birthday dinner. A fiasco. Don't expect to see us dine at Poway Brigantine again.

    The Brigantine did an outstanding job remodeling the Poway location. The food for the most part was good except for my entrée which was the Sage Butter Chicken. It had no sage or butter and was dry and hard as leather. I assume it set under the salamander or warming lights for 15 minutes and definitely was not cooked to order. The root vegetable that came with it were dry and flavorless. My wife had the Shrimp and Crab Cobb Salad and it was great as were the calamari strips. I little fine tuning in the kitchen and management presence could potentially make this a great restaurant.

    Beautiful remodel. Very light and airy. Waitress, Kay, was attentive to our requests. Had the clam chowder, artichoke fritters, shrimp n crab Cobb salad. Generous amount of shrimp and crab on the salad. Prices are up from before remodel but all restaurants are more expensive this year.

    Hailey are waitress was awesome! She was very attentive & accommodating. We enjoyed the new & improved ambiance, as well the food. We were entertaining guest from out of town & they very much enjoyed it as well. The only small negative we had was that we accidentally knocked a glass over & it broke into several pieces & Hailey sent the bus boy over to clean up the mess & all he did was pick up the glass & the larger broken pieces. But there were tiny shards everywhere including on my adult sons legs (he was wearing shorts) & I mentioned the pieces being all over the table & else where & he never came back to clean them up/vaccuum, etc. As a result, my son did leave there with several little cuts from glass in legs & 1 in his hand. Even though we had laid a napkin down over the table where glass was broken. Other than that, we had good service from our waitress, and great tasting food from the kitchen.

    Nicely remodeled restaurant. All the food was delicious. Only downside is location. It’s on a very busy corner in the Poway commercial area so traffic noise on the patio was significant. But it’s a nice community establishment.

    We had a lovely dinner…Sat at the bar waiting for our table & bartender was on it! He was extremely busy! We had appetizers…the lump crab cake & artichoke fritters & were tasty! Our dinner server was Courtney, she was attentive, made sure we always had a cocktail & made great recommendations. I went with the crab stuffed Salmon dinner special & it was phenomenal. The remodel is bright & fresh! We will be back!

    Dining room is nice, modern and clean. Service was fine and professional. Food was OK, fish was dry and oysters were very small. I would have discarded some of them rather than serve. Scallops were cooked well and seasoned nicely but served on succotash seemed strange. Coconut shrimp cooked perfectly. Wagyu burger was average.

    Ambiance was perfect - Waitress outstanding. Little cold - temp could have been a little higher. Wanted salad in place of french fries and was told I would have to pay $3. If you want to come across as a high class restaurant, and charge the prices you do, I feel that allow an exchange would be appropriate.

    First time back in 15 years. Wasn’t happy with the first and only visit. We were trying to find somewhere new to eat so we tried again. Place looks great! Was unaware of the remodel. Our waitress was Heather and the best ever! She was attentive, kind, respectful, fun and you could definitely tell she liked her job. Excellent service by her and we will definitely be going back and requesting a table of hers. Food was great. The only comment I have is I don’t eat fish or meat and they only offered one item that was vegetarian. They definitely need to have a few options. Very impressive dinner out!
