Topsail At Portside Pier - San Diego

Everything was fantastic! The waiter provided excellent service, though I can't recall his name. The food was delicious, and the overall vibe of the place was wonderful.

I ordered the clams, and they were the worst I've ever tasted. They weren't washed properly at all; each one had sand or bits of broken shell in it. The only redeeming aspect of the meal was the bread pudding dessert, which I was grateful for.

We always start our meal with the calamari because my 17-year-old loves it. However, this time, it was nothing like how we remember it. The texture was off, and there was barely any breading. They took the first plate back and brought out a fresh one, but unfortunately, it didn’t improve at all—a total disappointment. Additionally, the portion was roughly half of what it usually is. The rest of our four meals were decent, but my fish taco plate also didn't quite hit the mark. Typically, the tacos come generously topped with cheese, but this time there was only a sparse amount under the fish. To add to the disappointment, they informed me that they were out of their excellent sriracha. With prices being so high these days, it’s disheartening when you’ve been a loyal customer for so long and expect a certain standard. I will still return to the Brig with my family, but it may be a while before I do.

Extremely overpriced especially for lunch entree. Food was above average as far as quality and quantity. My lettuce wedge was floating in thousand island dressing, had enough for probably four salads. Will we return? Probably not.

Had some issues getting waited on. Was not crowded so not sure why. Someone in our party had to send her wagyu burger back twice because it was like a hockey puck both times. Luckily they took it off the bill and gave us dessert. Shrimp and grits were ok. Grits were chunky and dry. All veggies served were not cooked enough was just like eating them raw. Steak and lobster were very good. Crème brûlée was the best ever! Normally love this place thinking some of the employees were not into it that night. Will return. Beautiful place.
