  • Neighbourhood 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.

                                                                I had my first dining experience here and overall; it was a good one. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, and the service was both friendly and professional. The oysters were fresh and tasty, and the Brussels sprouts were definitely the standout dish, they were delicious! I had the Mahi Mahi with risotto and seasonal vegetables, which was fine but lacked flavor as were the steamed veggies. It wasn't bad just kinda basic. My partner enjoyed the wok-seared ahi more. While the meal wasn’t exceptional, I'm open to giving it another shot and trying a new dish or perhaps a different location.

                                                                We made our reservation online and chose “standard seating” which implies standard seating inside the restaurant. Upon arrival we were escorted to a table outside that was more like a parking lot than an outdoor patio. The hostess was gracious enough to really help us out and was able to at least get us on the front patio which was just ok. It was better but just ok. I wouldn’t have minded so much if it was known that that’s where we were to be seated upon making the reservation. It should definitely be noted on here that if you chose standard seating that that’s where you will be seated. This was only the issue we had. Other than that everything was great as always at the brig! This was our first time at this location and now we know what to expect going forward. Shout out to the hostess for going above and beyond.
