We drove over the Coronado Bridge after work and enjoyed dinner at the Brigantine bar.  We were there for a Fish Taco but had to try the Sliders and some Fresh Oysters.  The Brigantine serves up some of the best Fish Tacos in San Diego.  The Sliders were just o.k. and the Oysters were great.

Brigantine has a great seafood menu and is a good choice for dinner in San Diego.  If you want to keep it casual, sit at the bar and enjoy a drink and Fish Taco.

Spending the day with my Nephew Kyle at Loyola Marymount included a lunch off campus.  This was a treat for Kyle who needed a break away from dorm food or the lack there of.  We drove just a few minutes from his dorm to the Cheesecake Factory on the bay in Marina Del Rey.  We sat on the outside patio and enjoyed a great lunch.  With all the things on the menu, Kyle wanted a cheeseburger and fries.  The burger was huge and he downed about half before throwing in the towel.  Looks like he will have cheeseburger for dinner tonight too.  I enjoyed the Mini Slider Burgers.  These were the best Sliders I have ever had.  Great bun and beef that melted in my mouth.  Served with nice pickles and Ketchup.  My girls shared a pasta with shrimp dish that was delicious and a Wedge Salad.  Both were huge portions that could not be finished.  Once again the Cheesecake Factory delivered great food.  We had a great waiter here.  A kid from Boston that really understands his job.  He made us feel welcome, entertained us with stories and provided the highest level of service.  Great to spend time with Kyle and send him back to the dorm with lots of leftovers.

THE BRIGANTINE SEAFOOD - SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA

BRIGANTINE SEAFOOD

SAN DIEGO, CA

I had dined at the Brigantine for years when living in Cardiff by the Sea. It was nice to return many years later with good friends and a table full of great kids. My friend Darryl, his wife Heather and twin boys and girl joined my family and best friend Toye for one of the best dinners of our trip. We feasted on a variety of seafood dishes and enjoyed the best fish taco around. That is right. THE BEST FISH TACO AROUND IS AT THE BRIGANTINE. The fish tacos are off the hook awesome. The batter is light and the sauce is perfect. Cannot figure out why these fish tacos are so good. Everyone agrees that the Brigantine makes the best fish tacos ($7). Our meal started with fresh Fanny Bay, Hood Canal and Blue Point Oysters ($24). These babies were fresh and super delicious. We followed the fresh oysters with 12 Oyster Shooters ($33). Small oysters served in a shot glass with cocktail sauce and horseradish. Simply perfect combination of flavors. I tried a cup of clam chowder ($4.25). It was very thick and filled with clams. Has a distinct smokey taste. The garlic cheese bread ($5) was covered in a ton of cheese and a hit at the table. The calamari strips ($8) were good but nothing to write home about. We also tried Steamed Clams ($13). Kind of small and served in a ton of broth. The kids Mac and Cheese was a hit ($5), but the adult version of Mac and Cheese with Alaskan King Crab ($18) was the bomb. The kids also enjoyed Fish n' Chips ($5) and Sliders ($5). The kids loved everything. Round out the night with the Oysters Brigantine ($15) and a piece of the Brigs famous Mud Pie ($6.50) and you have a great meal served amongst good friends and family. Our waitress (Tara) was great and handled the large table well. THE FISH TACOS HERE ARE A TASTE OF HAWAII FAVORITE.
