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.

    On a nice day it is hard to top Poseidon's outdoor seating I nches from the beach at Del Mar. Add good food and attentive service - what's not to like?

    Love this place. They let you book outdoors, the service is top notch, the food is terrific, the ambiance is relaxed coastal elegance. What's not to like? We love going here and can't wait to go back. Did I mention the view? This place is basically on the sand. Time it for sunset on a sunny day and you won't be sorry.

    Poseidon never disappoints! We've always had great meals there (sea bass, salmon, scallops, calamari appetizer) and the outside area is the place to be around sunset. We always bring out of town guests to Poseidon for dinner, and every time our daughter visits us from Dallas Poseidon is her go-to place for brunch! Highly recommend.

    We were seated indoors with a beautiful ocean view. Chilean sea bass was delicious and well prepared. My husband had the seared yellow tail and he loved it. The flourless chocolate cake was the perfect end to a wonderful dinner. It was our friends’ first time there and they loved it too.

    Perfection as always. First time ordering the sea bass - absolutely melted in my mouth, and the cauliflower pure and lemon sauce was perfectly applied. The Brie always is terrific, as is the flourless chocolate cake. Oh, and outdoor tables are overlooking the beach, yards from the water (depending on tide). An absolute must.
