    Our niece was in town with her new husband and met us there for lunch. It was also her birthday. My husband and I have eaten at the Brigantine many times and thought this would be a great place for a birthday luncheon. Michael, our server, was very understanding that we didn't want very fast service as we had a lot of family news to catch up. As usual the dinks and food were great. I was particularly pleased with my Oysters Rockefeller. The portions for our meals were just right and we had a little room leftover to dig into my niece's birthday desert. All in all, a great experience, as usual.
