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 told our server that after the service and food at Poseidon we won’t be going to Jake’s anymore! Everything was delicious!

    Always enjoyable. Always great service and food. My only complaint is you have to ask for salt. Sometimes my food gets cold while waiting for the server to come around again when my food is not seasoned to my taste. I'm so over this not putting salt on the table thing. Everyone's taste is different. I've eaten cold food waiting for salt when it was not to my taste, not just here but at a lot of fine restaurants. I can't wait for this trend to end. It is very annoying pretentious. I love this place, but put the damn salt and pepper back on the tables already.

    The the beach wave view is good but the food is too expensive and not that good I ordered 2 lobsters tacos for $39 I only ate half no flavor😌 I like the clam chowder soup tho. Overall it’s a good experience to hang out with girls for lunch. Thank you

    The Poseidon is one of my very favorite restaurants for its proximity to the beach and the menu. Today I had the lobster Benedict. The lobster was good but the Benedict was a bit odd. The Hollandaise sauce was orange, not yellow; the gluten free bread option was too hard to cut with a knife and fork. My friend had lobster tacos and liked them. The service was excellent, however the first cup of coffee was bitter. Upon request, it was replaced with a second cup that was much better.

    Wow - what a beautiful day on the patio at the Poseidon. We enjoyed the weather, the view, the food and the service. We all thought the food was tasty, and our server, Garrett was spot on, helpful and attentive.

    All of our entrees at our lunch were really good and you can’t beat the view. Service was attentive and friendly. This is a neighborhood gem that we love bringing out of town guests to.
