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.

    Awesome restaurant in Del Mar. They have a good varied menu from chicken to fish to beef to pork. I hadn't had fried chicken in ages and there's does not disappoint... Comfort food at it's finest. Chicken was surprisingly boneless and super tender and moist.

    We had a wonderful lunch at Tamarino last week. Sunday, not crowded, great service. It was our first time there, and I was impressed with the tasty food, which left me with a big box of leftovers. My only comment would be that the house margarita was smaller than expected, for the price. Would definitely recommend, and we will be back. Maybe not for a cocktail, though.
