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. The Morton family opened the first Brigantine on Shelter Island in 1969, with a vision that embraced the beach town lifestyle, a dedication to flavorful food, and a passion for friendly service.

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. At the Brigantine we make first timers feel like regulars, and consider regulars part of the family. So come by often, and share our taste for life.

    We were seated by three large tables full of people. It was a separate room that had glass doors that could have been closed to contain some of the loud noise, but, unfortunately, they were open. Hard to hear server and ourselves. Main courses were good, but the bread, that we had to ask for, was terrible! It was somewhat stale and had an unsavory texture. The saving grace was the desserts! Bread pudding was delish! Server was not really into his job. Overall a so-so experience.

LOVE THIS LOCATION! As a concierge, I know that this Brig is consistently great and that my clients will have a great experience.

    We’ve been coming to the Brigantine for many years and the harbor location is no exception to the service food and an amazing atmosphere. Harbor views as well as gorgeous access to a walk on the boardwalk. We will be back

    Swordfish was wonderful, mahi good, but dry. Shrimp cocktail should have been chilled, along with the plate. Michael was an excellent server, great personality and service. He made our birthday celebration extra special!

    The reason why you go to Brigantine on the pier is for the waterfront location and ambiance. I love the outdoor fireplace and the abundance of space heaters outside; especially on a cool night. The food was as good as expected, but if I wanted amazing food, I would honestly choose a different restaurant.
