The Brigantine is more than just home to some of San Diego’s finest seafood. It’s a place where locals and visitors alike come to share a lively atmosphere and authentic sense of community. The Morton family opened the first Brigantine on Shelter Island in 1969, with a vision that embraced the beach town lifestyle, a dedication to flavorful food, and a passion for friendly service. Today, we’re known far and wide for our San Diego-style surf and turf. From our award-winning fish tacos and freshly shucked oysters, to classic filet mignon or our perpetually best-selling marinated grilled swordfish. Always prepared to exceed expectations, and served with a smile. You can stop in at any neighborhood Brigantine and get a taste of the local flavor, from regionally inspired specials, to custom cocktails and home town craft beers. At the Brigantine we make first timers feel like regulars, and consider regulars part of the family. So come by often, and share our taste for life.

Beginning with a few classic recipes culled from our chef’s family and friends, the menu captured the true spirit of Mexico. And its authentic style drew a loyal following of those in search of Sonoran grilled swordfish tacos, sizzling sirloin fajitas, and spicy rich chicken mole.Over three decades, our signature friendly service and festive decor have made Miguel’s a San Diego tradition for locals and visitors alike. Our commitment to artisan cuisine has only grown stronger. That means handmade tortillas, fresh salsas, and colorful crispy chips made daily right in our kitchen. Of course, there’s our decadent, must-have jalapeño white sauce, occasionally referred to as white gold by regulars, and craved up and down the coast.We invite you to stop in. Enjoy a refreshing hand-shaken margarita and a genuine, mouthwatering Mexican meal. Lets celebrate what we hope will be your first of many, many visits.

    Roy’s has always been a fave for our family! The butterfish entree was delicious and the bread pudding excellent. Just miss their wonderful rolls they used to serve pre Covid, it’s always nice to enjoy some bread with a salad appetizer.

    Our niece was in town with her new husband and met us there for lunch. It was also her birthday. My husband and I have eaten at the Brigantine many times and thought this would be a great place for a birthday luncheon. Michael, our server, was very understanding that we didn't want very fast service as we had a lot of family news to catch up. As usual the dinks and food were great. I was particularly pleased with my Oysters Rockefeller. The portions for our meals were just right and we had a little room leftover to dig into my niece's birthday desert. All in all, a great experience, as usual.

    Amazing celebration after our wedding. The food is always great and our server, Jessie was cheerful, appreciative of our celebration, brought a mud pie as a wedding cake and genuinely joined in to make our experience so festive and joyful! The bay was beautiful with clear blue skies. It could not have been better. Thank you for helping us celebrate the day.

    One of the best restaurants I have ever been. However they are going to close because Seaport Village administration will substitute local restaurants for big chains. That is so sad.
