    My experience at the Brig was amazing ! My family and I have eaten at this place before but this time around was the best! Not that I’m saying anything bad about this place from pst experience, it’s always been up to par, however it was my birthday and they brought such a joy to the night. I was greeted by a lady name Jackie I believe that was her name and she was filled with such a light and sat us right away! Matt was our waiter and took care of us always checked up on us made sure everything was great! Shoutout to Matt and Jackie they were awesome! Food was also amazing !

    The experience was outstanding start to finish. It was date night for us and I indicated that on the reservation plus that we liked to sit side by side. When we arrived they took us right on time and had a booth set up for 2 with placements and menus already sitting side by side just like we asked. It was so special! And it only got better from there. Drinks, food and service all excellent.

    Each restaurant in the chain has their own menu so beware if one has dined at one location and expects the same from another location. Happy hour items are a good value. Other menu items not so much.

    Food was fine. Nothing particularly special. So many places to eat in San Diego. This would not make my recommendation list. Perhaps one of the other locations would have been better.
