Brigantine Seafood Oyster - San Diego

I ordered the clams, and they were the worst I've ever had. They were inadequately rinsed, with sand and broken shell pieces in every one. The only redeeming aspect of the meal was the bread pudding dessert—thank goodness for that!

The prices were quite steep, especially for a lunch entree. While the food quality and portion size were satisfactory, my lettuce wedge was drenched in Thousand Island dressing—enough to dress at least four salads! Will we come back? Likely not.

Erica is a fantastic server. Ask for her if you can and tip her very well because she is worth it! Food is fantastic as well!

From the hostess who sat us to Connor was our server everything about Brigantine was stellar. It was my Wife's birthday and we were visiting from out of town and they sat us outside right on the water under the moon omg it was fantastic and that was before the food. The crab cake was full of crab and flavor, my Wife had the certified ny strip and I had the crab stuffed prawns, both dishes were a knockout 10/10. Connor treated dessert so we chose the cheesecake to share and as avid cheesecake lovers the presentation/texture of the cheesecake was superb and the mixed berry compote was perfect. Easily a top 3 cake for us. Best part about the experience was it didn't feel stuffy but we certainly felt 5 star vibes.

Nice environment. Got over charged on bill where we left 20% tip. Manager was ok in dealing with it but shorted us on over charge initially and in the end a bit. Mistakes happen I guess. Overall great location with pricey food for the pleasures of dining here.
