About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
The minute you walk into Poseidon, you’ll be swept by the fabulous view. You couldn’t be closer to the sand and the beach than sitting at Poseidon on their beautiful outdoor patio. With such a spectacular ocean view, you’ll experience breathtaking sunsets and during the right season even catch a glimpse of the whales migrating up or down the coast. The bar offers a large circular firepit, which is nice on those chilly fall or winter nights. Off to the side of the bar is a split level dining room offering every table a panoramic view of the beach and the ocean. For decades, Poseidon has delighted both local San Diegans and the tourists that love the beach.

    Scott took excellent care of us! We enjoyed sitting on the outdoor patio with a beautiful view of the ocean. The food was delicious and fish was so fresh! We enjoyed the prawn cocktail, clam chowder, seafood bucatini, and the special Cajun seasoned Halibut. The drinks were also very classic! Looking forward to returning again!

    Food was delicious….and so were the tasty cocktails. Geat fresh seafood with generous servings. We had some fantastic appetizers …oysters, crab cake and clams….definitely enough to fill us up. Seating is indoors or outdoors and is right on the beach. Our server was very friendly. Poseidon is a great choice for dining in Del Mar.

    We were 4 people celebrating our anniversary’s. We spent well over $ 300.00 for our dinners and drinks. Our complimentary small Tiramisu dish came with 4 spoons. We were told only one complimentary dessert is allowed. If this is the policy atleast bring a dessert that is enough for 4 people please. We are frequent diners here and this seems very cheap for a family owned restaurant.

    Cold fries after waiting a long time for food was a bit of disappointment , we had to ask for fresh ones which we had to wait another 15/20 Minutes for it . For a high end restaurant with mandatory tip I think this is not acceptable
