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.

    I always enjoy going to Poseidon. The food is good and the beach view is even better!! I ate salmon. It was ok. I would order something else in the future.

    I have no problem paying for a good dining experience with excellent food. However, Poseidon’s price point did not match the experience we got— especially when compared to its nearby competitors. It felt like any other seaside bar outside, we were seated in a really cramped space (in spite of having reservations), drinks were mid, food was alright (we had lobsters, steak, salmon), yet every thing costs twice as much. It’s pretty disappointing for our celebration.

    Food and service were very, very good. We had short ribs and sea bass - could not have been better prepared! We initially tried to park in the lot across the street, because I don't like to use valet. "Public" parking was $45 (!!) for two hours. Needless to say, we were happy to use valet.
