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.

    Overall delicious. We got some west coast oysters, crab cake, swordfish special, scallops (delicious but please note there are only 3 scallops that they give you - a bit pricy for $44), and then the creme brulee and flourless chocolate cake. Also got oen of the ports and the whiskey. Delicious food - we ate outside (do note they do not allow dogs) and got to see the sunset.

    In November for my husbands birthday he choose here and we had an outstanding meal It was my actual birthday and guess where I choose? . Hard to believe it was the same restaurant. I had booked this well in advance we sat down and there was no shade . The person behind me was a man and I could barely sit there , we could not talk that table was loud and we were sitting on top of each other . The service was so lacking . I felt I had to supervise him the entire meal. The food I had the Mediterranean bowl, lacked in flavor , shrimp was tough(probably frozen ), I had a bit of the mahi sandwich fish it was so spicy so could not eat it . My husband had the sea bass and thankfully it was good. Finally someone came over pulled the awning down and the table behind if emptied. I’m so disappointed in my birthday meal. Time to try somewhere else very disappointed

    Poseidon is a local favorite restaurant for us. The short rib dish is particularly favorite.

    Love this place. We sat against where the garage door lifts to expose you to the outside seating deck. Perfect spot. Heaters were on outside which could be felt inside at out seat. Nice! My wife and I are small eaters so we shared an appetizer, salad, and a meal. The service was great and on point. We also enjoyed a hazy beer and a glass of wine for my wife. Reasonable pricing and valet was $10. It’s worth a try,but you can park down the street if your furtunate enough to find a spot. Enjoy! I always enjoy this place.

    Poseidon is a rare gem and is the only restaurant of its kind. The service is great, and our waitress, Tiffany, was friendly, attentive and a pleasure. We would request her again. We had the poke appetizer ~ fresh and delicious! I almost always order the seafood Cobb salad as it is consistently wonderful with a great combo of shrimp, salmon and a white fish. Hard to beat! Poseidon is always a top choice for dining out and no matter the weather, the ambience is amazing with the fresh ocean breezes.

    Great cocktails. Fantastic food with the best waiter, Scott. A very relaxing evening and luscious meal with such a beautiful view. Expensive but worth it.
