- RRichardSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat location, very welcoming when we arrived, very generous quantity of delicious food. Our waiter, Michael, was outstanding - Attentive, but not intrusive. This experience is another reason why the Brigantine in Coronado and now the Pier are our “go to” restaurants when we want a first class dining experience.More infoBrigantine at Portside PierPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Downtown•4.6
