Poseidon: Royal Cuisine by the Sea

Published : 1/18/2007 by Jessica Nager


Poseidon might be casual by Del Mar standards, but don’t wear flip flops and expect to blend in. With crisp lines and arching ceilings—not to mention a breathtaking view of the Pacific—Poseidon is the kind of restaurant that seeks to impress you, from the moment you cross the threshold to the minute you fold up your napkin and express how full you are.


Greet the weekend in style with Poseidon’s full weekend brunch, offering everything from classic buttermilk pancakes to the slightly sinful Dungeness crab omelette.  

 
Alternatively, visit Poseidon at dusk and watch the sun slip below the horizon from the heated outdoor patio. Start your meal with the pistachio-crusted brie wedge or a cup of hearty clam chowder and a selection from the formidable wine list. It’s not a surprise that Poseidon, named for the Greek god of the sea, specializes in seafood, though “turf “and strictly vegetarian entrees are available. It’ll be hard to save room for dessert, but try. The granola apple dessert served a la mode is perfection on a plate.

Good eats

I went here a few weeks ago with my girlfriend, but only because I was given a gift certificate. I am young and not on a budget to afford expensive restaurants regularly, which is hard since I live in La Jolla. But this place was incredible. The oysters were ridiculous, so good. I had the rib-eye steak, but my more adventurous girlfriend tried the cioppino and it might have been the best seafood dish I have ever tasted. If anyone can take a night out and is willing to spend a little money, this place is 100% worth it. I will go back even without a gift certificate. Already started saving.
