    Food (kare kare, tocino, tuna crispy rice, wagyu rice, cesar salad, ube dessert) and drink (the malarky) was all great. Service (Lelani?) was excellent. And really, i expected it to be all great for the prices they charge. And they really delivered.

    Great evening with friends made even better by the service provided by Kay. She was delightful. She didn’t rush us and enabled us to catch up with our friends. She lit up the table every time she came by. The food was awesome and Kay’s service is why, The Brigantine, is our “go to” casual dining restaurant in San Diego. Thanks for a great night and special thanks, to Kay, for the attentive service!

    The evening was perfect! Seated right away, a nice table, service was excellent! It was our anniversary and we were treated royally! Everything was delicious from the Parker house rolls, salads and the Beef Wellington is to die for! It is a very large serving so we split it and we were both stuffed! We were also treated to a delicious chocolate cake for our Anniversary! It is very expensive but for a once-in-awhile splurge or a special occasion it is worth it!!
