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.

    We sat outside where it was an absolutely beautiful day able to watch the ocean waves roll in. Our waitress, Tiffany, was incredibly hospitable and offered suggestions from the menu. The house salad with lemon vinagrette was a lovely starter. The Shrimp and Crab Linguini was beautiful in its presentation and absolutely delicious!! Both went well with the Sauvignon Blanc that was ordered. I can't wait to return here!

    The six of us had a very enjoyable experience dining at Pacific Del Mar. The service was awesome! Our water glasses were consistently filled and our server was very attentive to our needs. Our meals were served gently/politely and our table was quickly cleared of finished items (appetizers, etc) Everyone enjoyed their food, although my green beans were over-spiced for my liking. The coffee was very delicious. We would definitely eat here at this very classy restaurant!

    North Italia in Del Mar is such a beautiful restaurant with warm, genuine service. I love all the staff here. Some unfortunate observations though from this most recent visit. Meatball appetizer with the polenta is something I always order. This time the meatballs were not thoroughly hot in the center. One of the meatballs had a noticeably dense, off-putting texture. The poleta base was hot & tasty as usual. I did try the new Lasagna Bianca al Forno. There was a generous amount of braised short rib on top. The center of the lasagna was not hot and rather bland. Not sure I would order it again. Also, their plating now with the stainless steel baking dishes right on top of plates is awkward and frustrating. It’s almost like eating on an air hockey table. They really need to put a cloth napkin in between or some other friction agent. This was a surprising oversight in their attention to detail. Tiramisu was excellent!
