The people who go to this clubby bar always surprise me. Where do they come from? I don't really think they're Del Mar locals. I've had some fun nights there with my friends, but sometimes it's just too crowded. Also, I've had two phones stolen there! It's been around forever and I hope it stays around forever. It's a Del Mar icon at this point.

I have to say that the short ribs are great. That being said, they come with mashed potatoes and that's all. The serving size was also on the smaller size. The oysters were fresh and well presented. The restaurant is large and was very busy the evening we went for dinner. It was also quite loud. There are lots of restaurants in the Del Mar area and I would try another one before returning to Searsucker.Dear Diner,I'm sorry to hear that the portion sizes were not to your expectations. We try to cater our portions and offerings to appease as many guests as possible in a general sense. I'd be more than happy to invite you back into the restaurant again to provide you with a larger portion, or an additional complimentary side dish of your choice. Being a larger restaurant we have the unique ability to accommodate you to a quieter part of the restaurant upon request. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to have you as guest again in the future.

Shares the Pesto Chicken Flatbread. Itâs made with chicken, basil, oven roasted tomatoes, bacon, mozzarella and parmesan cheese, all on a flat bread. It came out looking like a pizza. It was just prefect to share for our mid day lunch. Nice open air interior. The on street parking is always a pain. Always busy.

Stopped in for an unscheduled lunch because of the location... right between the beach and the Del Mar Racetrack. We ordered a mimosa and I got the cheeseburger ($17), and my husband ordered the shrimp cocktail and salad. The food was serviceable. The cocktail sauce was ordinary, and the burger certainly wasnât worth the price tag. The service was slow even though we were there about 3pm on a Sunday. The best part was the view. We sat on the deck and enjoyed every minute of it. I hear the fish tacos are good. Weâll go back for that...and the views.

Viewpoint says it all...great local vibe! We enjoyed some appetizers and drinks here on Saturday afternoon and loved it. It is all open air and when the weather is good they take the windbreak down so you get the feeling of hanging out on a deck. Great bar seating and a few tables with fire pits. Try the burgers if you are hungry or share one of many great apps. We did the fried shrimp...delish!! Good wine selection too if you are not a beer lover.

Interesting semi-open air restaurant. Probably should not have visited on a rainy day since it is not entirely enclosed, but overhead heaters helped. Would be great in the summer, though. Food was good, but nothing really special. My friend had the chicken tortilla soup which she said was very good. I had a carne asana burrito which was fine - did not come with any sides, which I would normally expect. Perhaps we just didn't order a house specialty but didn't feel the food was worth making a special trip for, especially because the parking can be a problem.

Stopped here for breakfast as we drove home from the San Diego Airport. Unfortunately for many of the businesses on Camino Del Mar the streets are torn up from Construction. There is some in front of Zel's, but luckily it is on a corner so we just went up the side street and parked there. We were very glad we did.The staff was delightful and the food was so good. Oddly one of the things we gave a second order for was toast. It was deliciously toasted sourdough with a side of homemade raspberry jam.. We had gotten some with our entrees but it was so good we needed more. A very nice menu!Go and don't let the construction deter you.

Brigantine is a popular place for locals but getting seated wasn't possible because the dining area much more limited in size than the bar area. So my teenage son and I got a high top in the bar. It was loud, we got banged into the whole time, service was sporatic and slow. His burger was quite good, my fish dish was not good. I think the experience in the dining portion must be better. I would consider returning for drinks/appetizers but not an overpriced dinner and a 4% surcharge to cover "increased costs" - what is that about? Have traveled extensively and never seen that before. Get your costs right and be done with it.

I have eaten here for dinner twice. Excellent service with a good attitude. Food was very tasty. 1st time I ordered off the menu the 2nd time we ordered the chef's specials. Both were excellent. The view is spectacular at sunset. I'm glad to see a place where the food & service quality are commensurate with the price and they are not trying to take advantage of tourists because of the view.
