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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Poseidon offers a captivating dining experience with "amazing views," "excellent food," and "terrific service." Guests rave about the fresh seafood, especially the "Chilean sea bass" and coconut shrimp. The beachside patio is a "prime location" for enjoying sunsets. While some reviews mention parking challenges, the overall atmosphere and attentive staff make Poseidon a standout choice.

    We had a fantastic night at Poseidon. Beautiful sunset, good service, the deep-fried coconut prawns were delicious. I had the Chilean bass which was melt in your mouth delicious. My husband was disappointed in the lobster. Chewy and flavorless. Veggies were okay, not overwhelming. They brought a creme brûlée for our anniversary. Very delicious as was the flourless chocolate cake and key lime cheesecake. Definitely recommend the Poseidon but maybe stay away from the lobster unless it’s fresh and in season.

    Had a reservation for 6:15 and didn’t get a table until 6:45. The food is amazing and so is the view but for the price you pay there needs to be better service.

    We had the halibut and the sea bass... both were excellent. Service was top notch and the whole experience was great. Always plan to dine here when were in San Diego Also, get the chocolate cake, just the ice cream that comes with it makes it worthwhile!

    John was our waiter and he was wonderful. He was there at just the right moments. The branzino fish was delicious, flavorful and a good portion. The Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked and flavorful, too. The Poseidon never disappoints.

    My food was not warm. Waiter did not offer to redo the order. Additionally the eggs were over c cooked. Requested salt and papper and had to ask again. There were plenty of empty tables so it wasn't like they were super busy. Disappointed as I have orderd the same dish before and it was warm and good.

    Clam chowder was good and the cheddar chive biscuit was very very tasty. Hubby had fish and chips in a panko preparation and he really liked it.
