Review of The Poseidon Restaurant

I planned a suprise birthday dinner for my husband...

I planned a suprise birthday dinner for my husband and had a confirmed reservation time from Poseidon on the Beach. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation time and were told that we would have to wait 45 min for our table. Past the sunset dinner time. We had other birthday plans and could not wait that long. There was an open table and when I asked if we could have that one, I was told the restaurant owner's personal friends wanted that table but they had not arrived yet. I explained it was my husband's birthday and suggested the friends take a later time since they had not arrived and I was told the restaurant does "not treat VIPs that way". I am not a restaurant owner but I would guess that a quality restaurant would want all of their guests to feel like a VIP. We left without the birthday sunset dinner I had planned. What a disappointment to have such horrible service in such a beautiful city.
