Everything was perfect until I got my Louis salad that I asked for half the amount. I’ve been to Brigantine many many times and never had such a small portion and they told me I was gonna have extra lettuce and yet it was drenched in salad dressing. the seafood was great, but the salad was inadequate. My server did bring a to go container with fresh salad and seafood in it to make up for it. The chef needs to learn what it is to do half salad. $18. Wasted.

Loved the beautiful new renovation. Fireplaces were a great addition. But . . . Restaurant was COLD! Our waitress was too. Serving an elderly blind patron at my table, she was visibly hurried and impatient, removed our bread plates, came twice for our drink order in five minutes. She warmed up but was never friendly. Food quickly got cold, potato chips were stale, not the usual quality from the Brig. An off day?? Normally a lovely place for a peaceful lunch. Not today. On a better note, the hostess was delightful and has a lovely attitude and smile, the bus boy was gracious and very genuinely friendly and kind.

Had a lovely meal in the dining room. It was difficult to read the menu even with good lighting, otherwise everything was wonderful. The server was very attentive and the scallops were fabulous!

Service was excellent. We had a reservation, arrived early but still had to wait which is disappointing. But our server, Kay, made up for the wait. We sat in the dining room instead of the bar, but it was still VERY noisy. This is a constant problem ever since they remodeled the restaurant. The food is always lovely but once again, they were "out" of our favorite wine. Why? Overall, we enjoy the Brig but there is room for improvement.
