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.

    My husband and I were there to celebrate his birthday. We ordered the calimari and the crab cake appetizers, both were excellent. I had the scallops entree and he had the lobster tacos, we were happy with our choices. Dessert was gratis, my husband chose the creme brûlée. It was delicious. Service was excellent, parking was easy. It was a great birthday celebration. We’ll be back…

    Our server, Skyler, was just about as perfect as one can be. Very attentive, helpful, engaging, and pleasant, and she visited our table just as often as we needed. The food was really good. Their Crab and Shrimp Cobb Salad is one of the most enjoyable takes on the Cobb Salad I've ever had. We celebrated my wife's 75th birthday on this visit, and we three all enjoyed the crème brûlée Skyler surprised us with. A good place to go for good food, drink, service, and a relatively quiet dining room, for those of us old enough to enjoy conversation.

    They changed my favorite menu item from 2 thin pork chops to one huge one. It didn’t taste the same at all.
