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.

    I have no problem paying for a good dining experience with excellent food. However, Poseidon’s price point did not match the experience we got— especially when compared to its nearby competitors. It felt like any other seaside bar outside, we were seated in a really cramped space (in spite of having reservations), drinks were mid, food was alright (we had lobsters, steak, salmon), yet every thing costs twice as much. It’s pretty disappointing for our celebration.

    Food and service were very, very good. We had short ribs and sea bass - could not have been better prepared! We initially tried to park in the lot across the street, because I don't like to use valet. "Public" parking was $45 (!!) for two hours. Needless to say, we were happy to use valet.

    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!

    Poseidon is by far one of my favorite places to dine. Right on the beach in Del Mar!! Excellent wait staff, delicious food offerings and the view is amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant for a quiet couples dinner or family gathering. - KM

    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.
