Best Casual Restaurants in Rancho Bernardo

Very crowded. Maybe not enough servers or overbooked. Reservation at 3; seated at 3:45. Server was good, food was good, good value.

We love Harney Sushi! The food is so fresh and staff is really friendly and accommodating.

Great evening with friends made even better by the service provided by Kay. She was delightful. She didn’t rush us and enabled us to catch up with our friends. She lit up the table every time she came by. The food was awesome and Kay’s service is why, The Brigantine, is our “go to” casual dining restaurant in San Diego. Thanks for a great night and special thanks, to Kay, for the attentive service!

Gold stars to every worker at this location on Sunday night, November 3rd. We were celebrating a belated birthday and the place was absolutely slammed. There were several big parties, which is always a strain on waitstaff. Our server was gracious as she apologized for shortages or items being unavailable (the bar was out of Patron). We are always understanding of these situations because we know it wasn't her fault. Every one - hosting staff, wait staff, bus staff - were working their fannies off to keep things moving forward. Management should be proud of how well the restaurant was represented by these hard-working people.

Excellent service and appropriate noise level on a Week night . Nice “sports bar” atmosphere. The fried food, while nicely presented, was quite greasy. The breading, while thick, was overdone. Each entree had about 3X the amount of French fries needed.
