Best Oyster Bars in Rancho Santa Fe

We went for happy hour and like always, the service, food and drinks were amazing.

Food was excellent and arrived timely Had a window seat by bay and even though it was dark it felt nice.. the big bay scallops were to die for. I love calamari but I’ve had better though it was ok. The mud cake was huge and could have been shared and my daughter had cheese cake ! Thank god we had to walk to hotel to work some of it off!

Eddie Vs never lets us down , been to many of there locations over the years , always a great evening

We loved the live music here… it can be heard throughout the entire space. You can’t go wrong with any of their steak options BUT tonight I had the Parmesan sole and I LOVED IT. Huge portion of fish too… we ordered the following accompaniments; Lobster mashed potatoes (weren’t bad but I’d probably skip next time), the Au Gratin cheddar potatoes (these were AWESOME; I’d get these over the lobster mashed potatoes), honey sirarcha brussel sprouts with cashews (always a perfect side) and the crab fried rice (sooo good)… I loved the bottle of wine we shared, the Penfolds Cabernet from Australia, while the rest of my party ordered various cocktails. Our server, Polly, was attentive, warm and swift… she also graced us with a celebratory round of champagne at the end. This doesn’t matter to most people but I LOVE when the complimentary bread is so good that you actually want more. That happened three times with our party tonight. Eddie V’s is honestly one of the best places in San Diego to have an intentional intimate dinner party with loved ones… yes, this is a beautiful date night location too BUT I’ve enjoyed taking smaller dinner parties here for memorable occasions simply because of their level of excellence from ambiance to the food and everything inbetween…

We love coming to the Brigantine. We are greeted warmly by the staff (even the parking attendant) each time we go. Our table positioned us to look over the Del Mar area with a wide view. It was beautiful. I ordered the lobster tacos and they were wonderful. Chunks of lobster inside a yummy coating and placed in blue corn tortillas along with some fresh, sliced vegetables. On the side, a few french fries, and then some fresh, lightly cooked green beans and pretty little carrots. Loved my meal. Daughter had fish and vegetables, husband had fish and chips, and we were all happy with what we ordered and too stuffed to share a dessert. We were well taken care of even though it was really busy when we got there. This is a tried and true restaurant and we will return soon.
