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.

    The food, service, and view were spectacular! We had the house salad, and the special of the day, blackened halibut with saffron sauce, asparagus wrapped in bacon, and parmesean risotto. It was my friend's birthday and they offered to bring her a complimentary mud pie or creme brulee. She chose the creme brulee and it was delicious! Our server, Jeanne, treated us like royalty and was very attentive. My friend commented that it was the best meal she had ever had! What a day! Thank you for making our day so special! Can't recommend the Brigantine at Portaide Pier enough!!!

    Second time here as really liked it before and was great again. Wonderful being outdoors with the view of water and boats but it was a bit breezy so they managed to get me another more sheltered table outside. Service was good, they were busy so took a bit longer than previously but I wasn't in any rush. Food was amazing, swordfish tacos incredible. But it was quite loud, if I had someone with me just casual conversation would have to be quite close. But will certainly be back next time I'm in town

    This was a return visit and it didn’t disappoint. The restaurant was really busy but this didn’t impact our service at all. A great location and experience as always.
