About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • 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.

    The food was exceptional and excellent- could not rave enough about the food! However, the first thing our waitperson said to us was that there was another party booked for our table of party of five in 90 minutes (even though the reservation said we’d have two hours), and we were RUSHED throughout our meal. Basically they kicked us out at the 90 minute mark, and did not even ask if we wanted more drinks, or if food was okay, or even offer dessert menu or coffee. Pretty much sucked to go there for a nice dinner when the focus was entirely on the turnaround on table. Disappointing!

    The restaurant has inside seating and lots of patio seating right on the beach. We had Mahi Fish Tacos and Cod Fish and Chips. The food and service was very good. It is best to make a reservation and beware that the parking lot across the street is very expensive ( $30 for two hours). There is limited valet parking which is more reasonable.

    We keep finding ourselves going back to The Poseidon because we always receive excellent service and the food is wonderful. It is great to feel the ocean breeze while enjoying a lovely dinner.

    10/10, would recommend! This was our first time dining at Poseidon, and it was great. We sat outside and I don't think there are any bad tables out there. The view of the ocean is awesome. There were three of us and we started with the prawn cocktail and golden beet salad, both were great. The prawns were amazing, the cocktail sauce is okay. The salad could use more nuts, but that's a personal preference. We got the seared yellowtail and the lobster tails, as well as the halibut special, all were excellent but the lobster in butter was the best. I thought the bell peppers as the seared tuna veg was a bit odd, but I loved the mashed potatoes. John was our server and was delightful. Definitely going again, we'll be trying the scallops and getting the lobster tails again!
