    Absolutely 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.

    Awesome 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.

    Beautiful 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

    Sea bass was buttery (per the style of fish) but under seasoned. The celery purée was heavenly. Who needs mashed potatoes?

    Seasonal 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.

    The 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.

    The 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

    Worst service ever! If you find yourself here, do yourself a favor and go next door to Jake's: same view, better service, food is great. (No idea about the food at Poseidon, as we couldn't get any!)
