About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Servers were busy even though restaurant was not full. We are frequent customers but today’s experience was disappointing.

    My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at The Point Loma Brigantine. We started out in the lounge with cocktails and oysters. Both were very good and the bartender was prompt and attentive. Dinner in the main dining room was also very delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and good at answering specific questions. Very good experience and will return soon!

    This Brigantine is the best for seniors. It’s quieter and the staff is great. The food is amazing and it’s overall a much better experience than the Brigantine on the harbor.
