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.

    I’m so impressed with the service. Our server was stellar. We came in to celebrate my mom’s birthday for an afternoon reservation. We had two kids and three adults. We did not order an alcoholic drinks or apps it wasn’t the right time for us. Our server was so professional, kind and hospitable despite this. He treated us with an amazing level of respect. We will absolutely be back and will encourage others to come for their service alone.

    Made reservations for 5:00pm for bar seating and they took us outside instead and we enjoyed the sunset, so that was a bonus. The waitress was excellent. We had the calimari, which is well done, but they could use more dynamic sauces to pair with it. The jalepeno based sauce had little flavor and cocktail sauce is cocktail sauce. The baked oysters are always delicious. We shared the sand dabs which were very good, but the parm risotto was boring. Creme brulee for dessert...very nice!

    Very basic menu and I wasn’t impressed with the flavor of the food or the service. A meal I could have gotten at Cheesecake Factory.
