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.

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.

    Decided to try this place for a girls' night out. The staff were all incredibly nice and our server went out of her way to annotate a menu for my GF friend. It did limit our options because this is definitely a shared plates kind of place, but what we had was delicious.

    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.

    The food was so good on our last visit that we made it our first stop from the airport upon arrival, before even checking into the hotel. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. See you guys on our next business trip to San Diego.

    This was our first visit to Seneca and we had a great afternoon date. We started with some caviar and some marinated olives. Both were delicious. After that we both had the Carbonara. We finished with some gelato. The wine list is nice and we had a fun bottle of champagne. The view is spectacular. The service was great. We will definitely return.
