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.

    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!

    4 Porsche-driving buddies went for lunch Friday afternoon and it was great! We had to wait a little but it was worth it! We got a great seat on the deck right next to the beach. Lot’s of people out having a blast. Service was spot on. The waiter was attentive and took good care of us. We all had an appetizer, ceviche was pretty good, but I’ve had better. The Mahi Mahi fish tacos were super tasty. All in all it was great, even on a tourist-packed day at the beach! Enjoy. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Cheers!

    Best beachfront restaurant! Seabass is always good, and the mahi mahi tacos for lunch can't be beat.
