Two sandwiches and a pint of soup was $44. The food is good but not exceptional. Ralph's sandwiches are better and half the price.

Brigantine Seafood Restaurant

Reviewed By goldendiv

Brigantine is a popular place for locals but getting seated wasn't possible because the dining area much more limited in size than the bar area. So my teenage son and I got a high top in the bar. It was loud, we got banged into the whole time, service was sporatic and slow. His burger was quite good, my fish dish was not good. I think the experience in the dining portion must be better. I would consider returning for drinks/appetizers but not an overpriced dinner and a 4% surcharge to cover "increased costs" - what is that about? Have traveled extensively and never seen that before. Get your costs right and be done with it.

Not sure why, but sometimes I get outstanding food here and other times it’s bland and a mess. The staff is nice and really want you to love everything, but maybe the food quality goes down when the kitchen is overloaded or staffed with a chef that simply doesn’t care. Hard to say. But despite the irregularity, Snooze is still one of the best breakfast places in SD.

I have eaten here for dinner twice. Excellent service with a good attitude. Food was very tasty. 1st time I ordered off the menu the 2nd time we ordered the chef's specials. Both were excellent. The view is spectacular at sunset. I'm glad to see a place where the food & service quality are commensurate with the price and they are not trying to take advantage of tourists because of the view.

Reviewed By Steven P

Dined on a Thursday evening (half priced wine!) on the upper deck watching the setting sun. Ordered appetizers and mains for each of us and all were excellent. The cuisine is best described as California modern or fusion and with a creative mix of flavors in each dish. We bought an expensive bottle of wine an it was served in the proper glassware and at the right temperature. Service was professional and friendly. If you're in Del Mar you should get to Sbicca!

Ate here for lunch and enjoyed it tremendously. Request a window seat if possible for a spectacular view. Three of us decided on the Shrimp and Crab Salad with Green Goddess Dressing. Ample amount of crab and five large shrimp, delicious. Our fourth companion opted for the burger selection, about half a pound. He enjoyed it. The one drawback, the place is pricey, $120 for four at lunch is high.

I have heard about this restaurant for years but never been. We finally went with friends and it was great. We live pretty far, so we may not get out there again but if we did, I would sit in the bar and lounge area and order off the sushi menu because the sashimi appetizer we ordered was delicious.The best part was our server, Jeannine (sp?) who was a perfect balance of great personality, attentive and also let us relax and not feel like we were rushed. Also, they made one of the best dirty martinis I have ever had.
