Best Restaurants for People Watching in San Diego

We’ve been going to the Brigantine for 40 years (yikes!), and we usually sit in the bar and have fish tacos and the best oysters Rockefeller in the world. Last night we ate in the restaurant like grown up’s and the food and service was spectacular.

Our server was outstanding. Burger was delicious - cooked perfectly.

The food was top notch. This was my first time eating here and it was a great experience. The environment was cozy and warm with a great view. The staff were amazing and the food was perfect. Thank you to the staff for an amazing evening.

Great service, well balanced cocktails & tasty food.

Dalton was Fantastic!! Top tier tea service!! Everything was exquisite and beautifully presented, thoroughly explained, and happily enjoyed. We weren’t made to feel rushed which is so important when enjoying tea with a friend. The manager Jenna checked on our table and cheerfully asked for our feedback. We were incredibly impressed with their desire to improve what is already a phenomenal experience. My only recommendation to handicap patrons is that the parking is further down and the entrance without stairs is on the side. They were very accommodating and allowed us in 3 minutes before opening so we wouldn’t have to stand in the cold wind with our canes. Definitely empathetic people that prioritize customer service. I’m pretty sure we just found our new favorite neighborhood restaurant!!!!
