  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
A San Diego tradition since 1969, the Brigantine has received numerous accolades during our 40+ year history: "BEST SEAFOOD", "BEST CASUAL SEAFOOD", "BEST HAPPY HOUR", and even "BEST SWORDFISH IN THE WORLD", according to USA Today - just to name a few.

Well-known for our signature Clam Chowder, Grilled Swordfish & Crème Brûlée, the Brigantine is a favorite among locals for consistently fresh seafood, succulent steaks & grilled meats.

A favorite destination for locals & tourists alike, the Coronado Brigantine is located in the heart of the village, immediately adjacent to the historic Hotel Del Coronado.

Completely remodeled in 2016, the "new" Coronado Brigantine is an elegant adaptation of its former self. The addition of an intimate private dining room, a surround-seating bar and street-side outdoor patio have been equally well-received.

Reserve a table in our Del View Dining Room, or walk-in anytime to our Oyster Bar- no reservation needed!

    We sat for 15 minutes before our server greeted us and our dinner entrees came out two minutes after our appetizer. We dine here constantly always great and I hope this is not the sign of future experience.

    Our waiter did an amazing job and accommodated my special request. However, the food was bland and tasteless and not hot. I had high hopes for a tasty meal, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the result.

    We made our reservation online and chose “standard seating” which implies standard seating inside the restaurant. Upon arrival we were escorted to a table outside that was more like a parking lot than an outdoor patio. The hostess was gracious enough to really help us out and was able to at least get us on the front patio which was just ok. It was better but just ok. I wouldn’t have minded so much if it was known that that’s where we were to be seated upon making the reservation. It should definitely be noted on here that if you chose standard seating that that’s where you will be seated. This was only the issue we had. Other than that everything was great as always at the brig! This was our first time at this location and now we know what to expect going forward. Shout out to the hostess for going above and beyond.

    I dined at Brigantine in Coronado tonight, and while the atmosphere was lovely with a relaxing coastal vibe, the food left much to be desired. The calamari was disappointing — the presentation was unappealing, and the texture was rubbery, making it hard to enjoy. On a brighter note, the crab-stuffed tiger shrimp was flavorful and cooked well. However, the sides of potatoes and steamed vegetables were bland and could’ve used more seasoning like salt and pepper to bring out their flavors. Our server was polite but seemed rushed throughout the evening, making the service feel a bit impersonal. Overall, while the ambiance was pleasant, the food didn’t quite match the restaurant’s reputation. I expected more from such a well-known spot in Coronado.

    Excellent service from getting seated on time to the check being delivered, despite a very busy evening. Everyone ordered something different, meatless, fish to red meat. All were very generous plates and All delicious.
