“ Absolute best tasting food we had on our California trip. The food is a work of art on plating and taste. We had the crusted Sea bass special that came with scallops and everything MELTED in our mouths while we watched surfing as we were seated outside. Our waiter, Oscar, was not only attentive in service but a very positive, jovial personality. All staff members, including water refillers & bussing staff were courteous and well trained. The beet salad was delicious and so was the key lime Cheesecake. Can’t recommend this place enough ! ”
“ Poseidon had the most delicious food and best service of any restaurant we dined at while in the Southern California area. I would highly recommend a sunset dining experience here while in Del Mar. Even though we were seated inside the restaurant, we still had a lovely view of the sunset. An excellent ⭐ dining experience overall ”
“ This is a gem of a spot. The staff are consistent and very friendly and talkative. They always make sure to grab a great photo of our party too! The food is up there with the best kitchens I've ever had. The prices are incredible reasonable for the quality they serve. Plus who can't beat getting a green flash during dinner while right on the beach. ”
“ We had a wonderful anniversary dinner here. The server and ambience of the restaurant was excellent. You cannot beat the amazing location of the restaurant. It was a cloudy day, so we couldn't enjoy a golden sunset, but that was also a blessing since we didn't have to deal with the sun beating down on us. We didn't take pictures of our appetizer (tuna tataki), but it was delicious. Our entrees were just okay. Both our dishes were on the salty side and didn't excite our taste buds. The menu that shows up on OpenTable is not up to date at all. We were looking forward to the Land and Sea and the Molten Lava Cake on the OpenTable menu, but they had the much pricier and underwhelming Surf and Turf option instead that threw on a lobster tail, as well as a dense and unexciting flourless chocolate cake instead of the decadent and gooey chocolatey goodness of a molten lava cake that we were dreaming about. The restaurant was lovely enough to surprise us with a rich and tasty creme brulee that we did enjoy. Despite the underwhelming and forgettable food, we don't regret celebrating a milestone here as the atmosphere and company was priceless and we won't forget the experience. We can't say we'll be back any time soon for the food (so many other restaurants that make you say wow bite after bite), but we would consider bringing guests or coming again for the beautiful dining experience. ”
“ Little pricey but food quality, service and amazing beach view makes it worth it. Reservation @ 1030AM but we arrive right before opening. We had outside seating. Paid $8 for valet since it’s hard to find parking. Fish and Chips: The fish and chips were great. I wasn’t a fan of panko buttered fishes but Poseidon’s Panko-herb was different; well seasoned and crunchy crust. 5/5 Maine Lobster Tacos - tender and delicious lobster meat perfectly seasoned with cabbage slaw and dressing. 5/5 Crab cake Bennie - flavorful and crispy crab cake with generous crab meat. I was not asking for too much extender/binder but cake wasn’t holding together. It came with perfectly poached egg with a runny yolk, and a rich, creamy hollandaise sauce. Potatoes and asparagus were seasoned well and not overcooked. 4/5 Clam chowder - well seasoned, thick with chewy clams and potato chunks the way we like it. The cheesy biscuit was good too! 5/5 If you’re looking for amazing beach view dining with great food; this is the spot. We’re be coming back to try their other dishes. ”
