- HHeidiSan Diego •41 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 19, 2026As always, the food and the service was excellent. Fish and chips sounds so basic but when it's the Brig, it's infinitely better than basic! Crunchy coating, sweet cod and delicious garlic fries. What's not to love? Our server was Jason and he was so great. Attentive, so charming, a real keeper! I'm so glad it's in the neighborhood!More infoBrigantine La Mesa$$$$• Seafood• La Mesa•4.8
- PPaulaGoldSan Diego •20 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 12, 2026Uros (?sp) was our waiter and he was excellent! He was attentive, professional, gave suggestions when asked, very kind, and efficient. We sat outside and it was lovely. Only constructive criticism are the prices. I thought some were high. But the service was phenomenal.More infoFarmer's Table - La Mesa$$$$• Farm-to-table• La Mesa•4.2
