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.

    We had a great brunch experience. The patio was lovely. Our service was excellent. The food delicious. We had the traditional eggs Benedict, the lobster Benedict and the French toast. There was a large piece of crab and several pieces of ham in the Benedict’s. The French toast had coconut seared into the bread. The potatoes that came with the Benedict’s was good as well as the hollandaise sauce. We will be returning for sure!

    Sat outside and requested shade - was seated at a table with an umbrella - very comfortable. Beautiful view of the ocean. Service was great. Ordered the Eggs Benedict. Food was good although the ham was a little salty.

    The location and ambiance is beautiful. We planned to eat outside but the tables are in the full sun and there were not enough umbrellas. We dined inside. Our waiter seemed spread thin and we had to seek help to get drinks and condiments during the meal. The fish tacos had a very strong fishy taste. The coconut shrimp and dipping sauce were delicious. We have dined here before and did not feel some of the food and service was up to par on this visit. The location is primo and we will definitely try again. They really need more umbrellas too.

    My husband and I are locals and we have the pleasure of enjoying brunch, lunch and dinner as we have dinned here for years. We love the ambiance and energy of sitting oceanfront with the chatter of happy dinners , the ocean waves and those enjoying the sand and sea. It’s isn’t noisey it’s lively and fun. Calamari appetizer was wonderful and our blackened tacos and vegetarian quinoa bowl was perfectly prepared. Our server Nils was welcoming, friendly and attentive. It was another perfect day in Del Mar at the Poseidon Restaurant.

    We dine at this restaurant weekly, and each time we are lucky enough to be served by the same incredible waitress, Val. Her level of professionalism, attentiveness, and emotional intelligence is unmatched. She consistently provides excellent service—always knowing when to approach and when to give space, especially when we’re deep in conversation. It’s a rare skill to read a table so well. This past week, I witnessed something that truly showcased her grace and adaptability. She was serving a table of foreign-speaking guests, communicating through a translator. Despite the language barrier, she managed to accommodate their cultural gestures and needs seamlessly, with empathy and tact, without even needing to say much. It was impressive to watch and a testament to her natural ability to connect with people. She brings a warm presence and a sharp sense of timing that makes every meal more enjoyable. It’s clear she takes pride in her work, and it shows in every interaction. She’s a gem, and this restaurant is lucky to have her. Food was delicious as always… crab cake coconut shrimp and the sauces left me with a craving for next week :)) Until then.

    The parking was terrible, we saw people parking in Valet and going to beach and not the restaurant and a lady in front of us paid the parking attendant extra cash and got a spot. I understand it was busy with Mother’s Day & hot weather but if they are better at monitoring parking than there might be more spots. The food was good, service was mostly good & had a nice experience.
