    The food was excellent. I ordered the fillet with scallops, which were quite small compared to my last experience, and my husband ordered the bone in New York. Both were cooked perfectly and were very tasty. I wouldn’t recall the Caesar salad as it had no taste and wasn’t a traditional Caesar salad. The staff was very pleasant and did a great job. Would definitely recommend and plan on returning in February for our anniversary.

    Our waitress was so amazing. It was pretty busy but she was so attentive and able to balance her tables and still managed to aid our table even during the rush hour. Very hard worker and cared about her job. We’ve been going to the brig for years and she was by far the best server we have had .

    We love coming to the Brigantine. We are greeted warmly by the staff (even the parking attendant) each time we go. Our table positioned us to look over the Del Mar area with a wide view. It was beautiful. I ordered the lobster tacos and they were wonderful. Chunks of lobster inside a yummy coating and placed in blue corn tortillas along with some fresh, sliced vegetables. On the side, a few french fries, and then some fresh, lightly cooked green beans and pretty little carrots. Loved my meal. Daughter had fish and vegetables, husband had fish and chips, and we were all happy with what we ordered and too stuffed to share a dessert. We were well taken care of even though it was really busy when we got there. This is a tried and true restaurant and we will return soon.

    We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner. The best thing about our dining experience was our waiter, “Max”. I would highly recommend you request Max should you dine at Eddie V’s. Max was attentive without being over bearing, humerus, friendly, and simply great at his job.
