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.

    Two of us shared some oysters and indulged in the wagyu burgers. Everything was excellent. We really enjoyed sitting outside on the water under the heaters. Would definitely go back.

    My wife and I enjoyed it completely the hostess status immediately in a perfect spot to watch the sunset. The salad I had was delicious and entrées were excellent. I really enjoyed our waitress and her help in all aspects of our visit. Thank you so much!

    Delicious dinner with a beautiful view. The filet mignon is always delicious and they had a lobster tail and filet special on my wife's birthday. And the mud pie for dessert finished our dinner perfectly 👌.

    It was an amazing venue right on the water with a view of Coronado for a birthday celebration! The calamari and octopus appetizers were the best we had compared to other restaurants and the salmon and scallops were cooked perfectly! The service was excellent which made the evening memorable! We will be back!
