Restaurants near Poway Valley Shopping Center

I’ve been eyeing this restaurant for a while and wanted to come since people dining there looked like they were enjoying the atmosphere and food. I was not disappointed We were celebrating two birthdays. The food was very good - spiced well, great value, large servings and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent - rarely had to request refills - he was there and taking care of it before we asked. The patio provided our own private party - gas heaters for those who requested them and everyone just got to relax, be served and enjoyed each others’ company. We definitely will be back - thank you for a fun and great afternoon.

Beautifully remodeled Brigantine. We had the pleasure of sitting in the middle dining room for lunch on New Year’s Day. Eric was our server and he was fantastic. Attentive without being overbearing. The food was good; we had the crab cake as an appetizer, 2 bowls of chowder and the shrimp and Louie salad as well as the swordfish tacos. All was good with the salad being a substantial portion. Overall, the Poway Brig is well-appointed with good service and decent food. Server Eric is the bomb! We plan on coming back for brunch on Sunday. Would be nice if they offered cappuccinos and lattes vs regular coffee.

So yummy! I love that it wasn’t slammed & the servers weren’t hurried.

Made a reservation because had 2 small children with me was told I would need to wait 15 minutes - would have been waiting longer if I hadn’t gone back to the desk and reminded her that we were still waiting after 20 minutes - she seemed to have several lists she was going off of and my name had gotten lost in the shuffle. She had a tablet she was looking at so not sure why she had so many paper lists also.

Excellent food & service. AC is always too cold but otherwise a great experience.
