One of the best restaurants I’ve been to. We got to meet the chef, super nice guy. The details of the building were beautifully done. I can’t wait to go back and revisit the dishes, ambiance and espresso martini.

The food and service were excellent. A strict vegetarian in our party ordered something that turned out to have meat in it (which was clear on the menu). Our waiter apologized even though it wasn’t his fault, removed the dish and took a new order no questions asked, and no charge for the removed order. He made us all very comfortable with the situation. Nicely done!

Went in last night and had a great experience! Decided to sit outside on the patio as they had heaters for a chilly night. We were greeted and seated by who seemed to be the manager and had the best personality, I think her name was Jenny! Ordered the oysters Rockefeller, burrata salad, seabass (unreal so goooooood) and a New York strip - everything was great but the seabass was the stand out. Would recommend 5/5!

Our niece was in town with her new husband and met us there for lunch. It was also her birthday. My husband and I have eaten at the Brigantine many times and thought this would be a great place for a birthday luncheon. Michael, our server, was very understanding that we didn't want very fast service as we had a lot of family news to catch up. As usual the dinks and food were great. I was particularly pleased with my Oysters Rockefeller. The portions for our meals were just right and we had a little room leftover to dig into my niece's birthday desert. All in all, a great experience, as usual.
