About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions

A cornerstone of San Diego’s culinary scene since 1969, the Brigantine is more than just a restaurant—it is a storied tradition. With over five decades of excellence, we’ve earned our place in the hearts of locals and critics alike, garnering accolades such as "Best Seafood," "Best Happy Hour," and even the prestigious title of "Best Swordfish in the World" by USA Today.

    Overall not a bad experience, drinks were good as was the service from Hernando. Disappointed with the Macadamia encrusted Mahi as it was very dry, likely was from frozen and/or just overcooked.
