Description: 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 over 33 years, Poseidon has delighted both local San Diegans and the tourists that love the beach. An excellent menu, a favorite with all the locals is designed to cater to all appetites and pocketbooks.

Stopped for drinks and appetizers with friends from San Diego. They wanted me to get a flavor of a great view in a fun place. They succeeded. Service was very good, drinks well done and had a nice variety of choices for a light relaxed time with friends. The view is just great and I can see returning when I... More

The scenery doesn't get better on their beachside patio. One of our favorite restaurants! Very popular place so make reservations. Menu offers something for meat/fish/veggie lovers and the service is friendly and efficient.

Being out is a total experience. You can't have intimate fine dining IMO on a beach. But you can have a great night, with great atmosphere, friendly wait staff in a festive vibe. Can you have better meals...of course....but not if you want this backdrop. Keep it real, know you are going there for a great night for other things... More

This was my first visit to San Diego. We stayed in Cardiff. So we just looked on trip advisor and found Poseidon. We had a short 15 min wait, drinks at bar and app delivered to table.

Surry you can get a good meal here but the view is the draw. Sitting right on the sand overlooking makes any meal better. Not to take anything away from the food, this is a great spot for sea food or beef dishes. We opted for the sea food and were not disappointed. My second time here an I will... More

We only went for happy hour but the food looked excellent. This place has the local charm and people, including the bartenders, were so friendly. I wish I would have found this place sooner.

If you want to dine on the beach and watch the sun go down, this is your place. There is an inside dining room in which all table face toward the beach, but you might want to be on the outside dining room. The food and service were excellent. If you're going to be in the outside dining room in... More

Have eaten there a number of times over the last few years and usually very good. I sometimes stay away from waterfront places for fear of tourist trap cafeteria food. Not the case here. You pay for the location right on the beach but have never had a bad meal, app or drink here. Staff is friendly, customers seem more... More

On a recent trip to Del Mar with my relatives from Utah, we dined at the Posdeidon. Our server, Franco, was wonderful as was the manager. The food was excellent. We had the Mahi Mahi and Scottish Salmon and everyone at the table thought it was some of the best fish they had ever had!! I would highly recommend this... More

Was able to sit outside and watch the sunset. Location is perfect, right on the beach in the cute village of Del Mar. Food was good, not Great, but overall was a great restaurant to visit if in this area. It was Friday night so also got a feel for the nightlife aspect of the area. I would definitely make... More
