A San Diego tradition since 1969, the Brigantine has received many accolades in 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.



Beautifully remodeled in early 2009, the Brigantine is well-known for the signature Clam Chowder, Grilled Swordfish, and Fish Tacos. The Brigantine is a favorite among locals for consistently fresh seafood, succulent steaks and grilled meats.



Home to the America's Cup until 1995, Shelter Island is still the yachting center of San Diego. The Brigantine offers glimpses of this busy marina from the outdoor patio and semi-private banquet areas.



The Point Loma Brigantine serves dinner 7 nights a week, and lunch Saturday & Sunday. Join us for our signature $5 Happy Hour from 3-6pm.

    Everything was great. We used to go there years ago but for the last couple of years we’ve been going to the Brig at the harbor. Point Loma is a much better place to go. Easy parking and not as crowded. We highly recommend This Brig over all the rest!!

    It was another great meal, as always. We chose to visit on Sunday, as the last time we were here was a very busy Saturday night. The quieter Sunday was lovely. Always good service, and the fish is superb. Thanks!

    The Shelter Island Briganyine is our favorite. Excellent service and food. Ample parking and view of the boats. Nice area to take a walk after eating too.

    We love the Brig for its consistently good food and service. It's our go-to place before concerts at Humphrey's because we can get served and finish our meal without having to rush. Favorites are their yummy cioppino and the Brig salad (a bit overdressed this time). Clam chowder and all the main course salads were generous and nicely prepared. Good service, as always!

    The Brig never disappoints. Calamari strips were fantastic and the sand dabs were phenomenal. Overall the meal didn’t suck!
