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



Located near the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, the Brigantine features fireside seating in a casual dining room, and in the adjacent lounge. Outdoor dining is available on one of our intimate patios, which include both fireplace and water features.



Private dining is available.

    Wanted a quiet area where we three friends could chat and eat. A corner booth was perfect. Our server Ingrid was personable and professional. Our entrees were delicious and arrived quickly. Loved my Shrimp & Crab Louie salad! Impressed by the ambiance of the dining room. The men's restroom was immaculate.

    Actually ordered something not on the luncheon menu and the chef gladly agreed to prepare it! I'm sure they were being extra nice as it wasn't as busy as it is earlier in their regular lunch time service crowd. But . . . they did it! Can't beat that for personal care of their customers.
