    Our party of 4 turned into a party of 6 when we ran into 2 of our friends who were at the bar! The hostess was kind to rearrange our reservation to add our friends to join us for dinner. I was pleased that Brigantine was able to accommodate us! Max was our waiter & provided excellent service during dinner & great recommendations. He suggested the seafood tower for one of our appetizers which was delicious but I gave 4 stars as crab claws were slightly frozen & lacked the sweetness. I ordered the surf & turf which was outstanding & the steak & lobster were delicious! Excellent dinner, will def be back.

    We made last minute reservation and enjoyed a quiet lunch. We have always like going to Fred’s as it is a festival environment and fun to be there and hear the music and laughter of others. This time it was quiet due to it being a Monday afternoon and not much going on in the area. The food was very tasty and service great. And it was pleasant and relaxful to enjoy lunch in the unusual quiet environment . DJ
