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.

    Service was great as was the food. Carnitas good but the meat was very fatty. Also could give a few more tortillas with it. Two small flower Tortillas not enough.

    Amazing food and service. They really care about crafting a great experience. We went for a family birthday and the quality of food, portion sizes, flavors, presentation and ambience were excellent. We had kids with us and the waitstaff were very respectful and considerate of their needs. The only criticism, if it even qualifies as one, is the pricing. If you go for upmarket items like Wagyu steak, you will of course expect sky high prices, but all of their menu items are at a $$$$ level (think ~$20 side dishes, $30 appetizers). In other restaurants, such pricing would be a turn-off, especially if the food, atmosphere and service were not so good, but Steak 48 does so well on all of these that the surcharge is kind of worth it. The restaurant is now high on our list of favorite places to dine in southern California. It's not an every month kind of steakhouse - this is special occasion, make-an-impression restaurant dining but we will definitely be back!

    Tony our waiter was the best and thoughtful and at our beck and call. He went beyond and then some. We celebrated our anniversary overlooking the beach scene. I am so grateful to have chosen Jake’s for our 24th anniversary celebration The Pyros
