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.

    Ambiance inside was ok. Outside was loud. You could hear people’s conversations more than the waves. As for the food…I ordered the scallops. Presentation looked crappy as you can see in the photo. Scallops were cooked well, fresh. However, everything on the plate was cold. For the price…so not worth it. I couldn’t even call it luke warm. So definitely disappointed there. My spouse had the swordfish. Pretty good and not fishy. Still the food was barely lukewarm. Service on a positive side was great! You are paying for the view if anything. Food and presentation could have been better. Slop on a plate! Last the bathroom is disgusting! Smells terrible! They should do a better job cleaning it often.

    Extraordinary dining experience. I'll have to visit again during the day so I can fully experience the ocean view.

    The vibe is more casual than elegant at this beach front restaurant. We ordered several small plates to be able to try a variety. Most of the dishes are pretty conventional but the seafood is super fresh. The west coast oysters and clam chowder were our favorite. The crab cake was a bit dry and crumbly and lacked flavor. The ahi tuna was average. We finished up with the lobster tails, which were super small and not a good value even though they tasted good. I'd go again for a cocktail and small bite to enjoy the view but would not bother eating an entire meal there again.

    We had a wonderful experience for our first visit! The seafood is excellent in our opinion and the outdoor table was perfect with heaters this time of year. We caught the sunset. The service was as you’d expect for this type of restaurant. Very romantic but also families and holiday dinners.

    So beautiful and right on the beach! Sunsets are to die for. The cioppino is excellent, one of the best anywhere. A real favorite place to go casually and for special occasions.
