Poseidon Restaurant Del Mar in California

"Beautiful restaurant with an absolutely astounding view of the ocean. The sea bass is excellent—fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. All the vegetables were fresh and delicious as well, and overall the food quality was outstanding. I truly have nothing to complain about on the dining side. The only small caveat is the latte, which wasn’t great, so if you’re coming specifically for coffee, you may want to look elsewhere. But for food and atmosphere, this place easily deserves five stars."

"We sat in the outdoor seating area with a beautiful ocean view. The weather was great that day, and the food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience."

"You’d be hard pressed to find a lovelier view or meal. But that’s not the best part of Poseidon. The people really do make the place here. As a single woman traveling around the world, I’m used to being seated under potted plants by the restrooms. Not here. First, gracious Ava seats me in my own booth facing the ocean! Then my waitress Valerie treats me like a VIP. She brings me extra salad, a plate of lemons for my Sea bass and often asks if there’s anything else I need. It’s not just me. She’s warm, thoughtful and endearing with everyone. Throughout Herman fills water and has a smile as beautiful as the sunset. I can still see it as I write this review."

"What a delicious meal and wonderful ambiance! We were just inside the patio and that was perfect because it was a little chilly outside. We had the ceviche, cioppino and the special land and sea and it was all fresh and flavorful. Service started great, but once we received our order, we felt a little neglected and could've used a refill on drinks. I'm not sure what happened but we didn't see the server wander to our area for a while. Overall very good food and nice time there."

"Went for a sunset dinner, seating with heating, stunning views and Ambiente, food ok but on the pricy side. My steak was 70 $ that’s a little too much compared to other locations. The truffle fries were saggy, salad was on the to be improved side,wife’s wine glass was dirty asked to change or clean still had the spots, so overall ok for Ambiente but either they get the food on the better side or you better sit at the beach to watch sunset."

"This restaurant has amazing views and ambiance. It is airy and comfortable while still feeling upscale. Our server Robert was attentive and kind. The food is priced reasonably and worth every penny. It is convenient to valet. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing and delicious meal with stellar beach views!"

"The outdoor patio right on the beach is the star of this restaurant. We always request to sit outside and most seats have some shade. It gets pretty busy on the weekends. We try to go on the weekdays instead to avoid the crowds. Food is hit or miss and a little on the pricey side. Expected in this part of town and the prime beachfront location. They gave us a delicious complimentary carrot cake since we were celebrating a birthday! There is valet parking and I recommend it since free parking in the area is very limited. Paid street parking has a 2 hr limit and the paid parking lot across the street can cost more than the valet parking."

"Good was absolutely stellar and the alcohol was reasonably priced. Also, the view was excellent. I ended up here on a Friday around noon and it was fairly empty which was perfect."
