San Diego Restaurant week twice a year.
Menu
The Maryland crab cakes are perfection. The Cioppino has abundant portions but it’s somewhat bland.
Fantastic as usual. Great view and great food. Sat at bar for happy hour and sunset.
There is no substitute for this spectacular beach front location. It is a vacstion in itself on the patio. The food was delicious, especially recommend mixed grill. Service was outstanding, both attentive and friendly.
Food was delicious and cannot get any closer to the surf , unless you’re in it. Stunning location. Our server was attentive and managed our large group welll.
Amazing, like always. Always visit here when we visit del mar from Arizona at least 3 times a year.
Our waiter Oscar took great care of us and we really enjoyed our time at Poseidon.
Hadn't been to Poseidon in a long time. Did not disappoint.
Yet again a great meal at the Poseidon. Brought guests here from Paris France.
Our reservation was for 2:45 PM. When our order was taken, we should have been told that the kitchen closes at 3 PM for lunch and to be sure to order all that we wanted before 3 PM. I have experienced this courtesy at other restaurants. Servers should be trained to do this. My husband ordered soup along with my son's and my order. After my husband finally decided what else he wanted and tried to order, then he was told that the kitchen closed at 3 PM. Please don't assume that we know that your kitchen closes at 3 PM. He was able to order an appetizer from the bar menu, but that was not what he had in mind. The food was good but I have to say that my salad entree with salmon was so insubstantial, such a small quantity, that I was hungry after the meal. I'm not saying that I want more salmon, how about more greens, nuts, veggies, crumbled cheese, etc. Please don't skimp - these ingredients will not cost you that much!
Lastly, after our meal was done, we asked for some to-go boxes. The busboy was very nice but then forgot about us as he had a long conversation with people at another table. We waited and waited a long time to get the check as the employees switched to getting ready for dinner mode, essentially forgetting about us. Eventually we had to get up and ask for the check and also ask somebody else for the to-go boxes.
Overall - disappointing service but the food was decent.
Poseidon has it all! The menu was varied but not overwhelming. The food was excellent for its presentation and taste. The wine list is representative of a range of selection. The service was first rate (Amanda handled an unexpected rush with ease.). I had the Chilean sea bass and am looking forward to another visit to have it again. The outdoor table was on the beach and could not be more colorful.
This was my wife's birthday dinner, and Poseidon made it very successful and memorable.
Food was okay but the atmosphere (patio) was outstanding.
View is beautiful, service was great, food was sub-par
I requested an outside table when I made the reservation. Although they can’t guarantee an outside table, we arrived early an got one.
Our waitress was very attentive and the general manager stopped by our table to ask how everything was going. A very nice gesture. Food was good - we will be back!!
Beautiful scenery outside on patio
Everything was perfect except parking.
The parking lot was shut because of full up when we arrived on time. The sign telling to public parking on the barricade is unkind. After looking around for 20 minuets I found a public parking just across the street.
Great Menu, decent wine list, Excellent service, Great food, Take a date, spend a romantic evening, or chill our with your friends. Don't miss this restaurant. To top it off the GM, Greg is personable and makes sure that every table is happy with service and meal.
You're certainly paying for the view here. The prices are way too high for lunch and the drinks are really expensive. $19 for a salad is too much. $12 for a glass of prosecco is even worse.
Excellent Service! Fantastic food, wine, dessert in a surrounding great atmosphere, delightful patio ocean view seating! Excited to return soon!!
The setting is beautiful. The food is variable. Don't go there for consistently delicious view. go for a lovely place to dine on OK food but with fabulous ambiance.
Our favorite restaurant right on the beach. Service is good and food is delicious at a moderate price.
Sky, our waitress, did a perfect job taking care of our table!
This place is understaffed and was a disaster. Never be back!!
Too nice a location to mess up but they did!
Gorgeous scenery, perfect for sunset!!! The food was delicious.
I had been wanting to try Poseidon for years and finally made it. What took me so long? It is a bit of a drive from east San Diego. But worth it. Best seafood dinner ever!!! I've enjoyed lots of great seafood all around San Diego County. Poseidon offers a fabulous menu and the kitchen knows how to cook and serve seafood. Lobster was tender, Seabass was cooked perfectly, scallops the bomb! And you get the best view on top of the best food. The restaurant is right on the beach in Del Mar. I can't wait to go back.
One of our favorite spots! Cannot beat the view and the food is excellent!
Good was delicious . A little on the pricey side though . Fabulous location .
Everything was excellent. We were seated promptly with an ocean from table. The food and server were excellent.
We had so much fun and loved the scenery and watching the sun set. The food was great and the service was excellent. Staff were warm and friendly and kind and helpful.
My group came after Del mar races. It was the great end to a perfect day. Everything was wonderful if a bit pricey. We would definitely do it again.
Sometimes restaurants with a view are less than stellar. Posidon rarely dissapoints. Clam appetizer was on point, crab cake appetizer delish. 1/2 price wine bottles on Tues and Weds are a nice treat. Our server on the patio was delightful.
Ial, our server, was outstandingly.
Great views and beach atmosphere. Ginger was great and the rest of the staff took great care of us. Mahalo
Great views, outstanding ambiance. Food was good, not great.
Who could not love the Poseidon in summer. Beautiful views. We had an excellent server. I feel, though, the lunch with one 4" fish taco for $9 is excessive. Generally, prices are high. I realize you are paying for the view. Food is good, but not spectacular for the price. Value is not necessarily there. Having said that, I will go back! I think dinner is a better value, especially if you take your own bottle of wine and pay corkage.
I love this place and the seafood salad was awesome.
Excellent food, server seemed tired end of the day. Wonderful accommodation by manager and our family group of 7 had a great meal and visit for almost 2 hours. Definitely recommend
Good food overal, a bit pricey and it took an unusual long time to get served despite the fact that 3 out of 4 were the same dish.
Excellent service and beautiful ocean view. Beware of the sunset coming down in the evening as it gets super hot on the terrasse and have sunglasses.
Great food, great view, and great service. We love to go for lunch.
Excellent restaurant for dinner after the races at Del Mar!!
Great ambiance and wonderful food! I come here a lot.
However, I had to reduce my rating to 3 stars for my recent visit because I noted on the reservation that there was a birthday and it was not recognized.
After dinner when the server asked if we wanted to look at a dessert menu, we declined... I thought she would then be coming with a birthday treat with candle/birthday song as a surprise to my guest.
Very disappointed as my guest was visiting from out of the country. Don’t think it was the server’s fault as maybe she wasn’t told by the front desk when we were seated....this should be communicated.
I guess I should have privately taken the server aside...lesson learned!
