“Celebrated our Anniversary here and each of us got the prix fixe dinner. Everything including our cocktails was fantastic with tons of flavor! Very fast friendly service in exceptionally clean restaurant. The speed you receive your order is crazy for the quality of food your getting!“

“Great food and the service was amazing.“

“This buffet is one of my favorites, the food is so delicious, great portions. We always went in a huge group so we need to wait a little bit. The service is almost perfect, they treated us so well except for one person, seems like she doesn’t like us and even speak to us when she had to attend us, all the other personal came and attend us, her name is Teresa, we hope a change just in that situation, but everything else is so great👌🏻“

“Their dungeness crab is delicious. Fresh and cooked to perfection. Best crab ever. That said, front of house has some issues. The waitress forgot two of our items, seemed totally uninterested, and was slow. The five star is really just for the food.“

“April 2026 Monday noon lunch.
The meal and service were great. They shifted into Outstanding when it came to customer service. Here is a copy (edited) of my thank you note to the Manager, Kevin.

Thank you so much for all of your attention - so rapid, effective and sincerely customer-oriented.

As you are aware, the gift card was purchased elsewhere and the inactivated bonus card mistake had nothing to do with you or your staff. Things happen, that's life. I was prepared to deal with corporate HQ.

Both you and Kaden obviously did everything possible at the time to help us. Your follow-through with corporate was beyond expected. We feel well taken care of.

Thank you for going beyond your responsibilities as the Brigantine manager and simplifying our life.

Oh, by the way - the meal (grilled tacos and seared ahi bowl were both fantastic.)
Compliments to all. OUTSTANDING !

Much appreciated - Daniel (Dan) and Crystal Marler

btw - we've not dined at The Brigantine in ages. Because of your efforts (and food quality) we'll make a point of visiting more often.“

“My favorite restaurant of boiling crab 🦀 🥵“

“On a recent visit to the San Diego/Escondido area, we ate at Craft and Taco Lounge. Since I’m vegan, it was my pick for dinner, and the Vegan Pastor ended up being my favorite. It was so good that I went back the next evening for takeout. I’ve had tacos across Texas and Mexico, and these were among the best I’ve had.“

What awesome customer service, beautiful and very clean restaurant! Delicious food! Thank You for your hospitality! I wish I could give you 100 star rating!“

“I think they have the best middle Eastern food in the county. I love their rice. Platters are huge and you'll get three meals out of it - two if you're a big eater! I don't know what they're called but the pickled veggies (part of platters) are amazing and so it their baba ganoush. There is plenty of parking.“
