Joe CattravelOctober 12, 2018Absolutely stunning views, excellent service (Ael is the bomb🔥) and the seabass is to die for! Wine selections are equally as amazing. Pricing is very fair for this level of dining.- Beach Vacations FirsthandDecember 27, 2016Beautiful day with clear skies. Table looked right out over the beach. Chilean seabass is one of my favorites. See other dishes at www.beach-vacations-firsthand.com/san-diego-restaurants.com
EceOctober 16, 2016Awesome breakfast view! Spinach omlette and eggs benedict are good choices. Service is not so great as we got all water and other drinks quite a bit late, but it is still worth the view.
Kelly GibsonFebruary 19, 2013Seasonal menu. I always order whatever scallops they're preparing that day because they're always amazing. If you're looking for something different to drink, try the Pom Royale.

- MuddyNovember 17, 2014Nice place to go for happy hour and sit by the beach. Good selection of wines and cocktails, including margaritas and mules.
Greg MichaelJuly 12, 2013The house salad is wonderful. The coconut encrusted Mani with Yukon potatoes are the bomb. Day LA fresca. Ladies, bring a cover, even in summer can be cool.
GourmetLiveJuly 29, 2011The Poseidon in Del Mar is one of the few San Diego–area restaurants that actually sits on the sand. Food blogger Lori Lange says to not miss their seared ahi tuna appetizer and Kobe beef sliders with
