Brigantine Seafood Oyster - DEL MAR

This restaurant is one of the few left that truly understands traditional, attentive service and style! The food was expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The side vegetables were cooked to perfection, vibrant in color and retaining their crunch while being flavorful. The stunning views added to the experience as a delightful bonus. The valet service was also excellent.

The fish tacos could have used some cream sauce, as they were a bit dry. They were not advertised as being breaded. Additionally, the hamburger was overcooked.

The food was outstanding, and the service was exceptional. I will definitely return.

This restaurant is a fantastic find, offering stunning views of the horse racing track and the inlet from its deck and patio. It's conveniently located right next to Del Mar Dog Beach and is pet-friendly! After taking our dog Onyx for a walk on the beach, we were feeling a bit thirsty and hungry. We called ahead to confirm that pets are welcome. Since we had already paid for parking at the dog beach, we had just enough time to relax with a couple of cocktails. I tried the Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita, which had a delightful kick, while Richard enjoyed a Maker's Mark and soda. We also ordered two swordfish tacos, which were perfect for unwinding, especially with two other dogs nearby. It's fantastic that you can order just one taco if that’s all you want, and they were bursting with amazing flavor! The dogs were even provided with fresh water. Overall, it’s a wonderful place!
