Restaurants near Laguna's Hidden Gem

Wow! What a wonderful experience. From Nick who parked the car, to Sydney who greeted us, to the star of the show, Patrick, our server. Patrick was prompt, efficient, informative and his great sense of humor and dining knowledge added so much to the evening. A true professional. The food was out of this world-scallops cooked to perfection, crab appetizer and a lobster bisque (salad) that was to die for. The water view is beautiful. All in all a wonderful experience.

We had a friends’ reunion and enjoyed every part of our dining experience. Our server, Ricardo, described the entrees very well. Each of us enjoyed the appetizer and our entrees. We were treated to a generous serving of cheesecake to honor our special occasion. One of our friends had never been to Las Brisas. My husband and I were returning after living out of the area for many years. Everything was as good as we remembered. We highly recommend this upstanding restaurant!!!

A wonderful place to have a one-of-a-kind dinner experience. A small shot of vermouth and pate before dinner. Crusty soft bread with your meal. The filet was like butter and the sand dabs were drenched in a delicious butter sauce.

This restaurant has been so amazing over the last week. I’ve been helping many families that are evacuated from the buyers or lost her homes and we’ve been going over to starfish every other day for amazing meals. The staff is incredible. The manager is so accommodating and everybody there Are just really good people. The food is incredible and there’s nothing I have ordered that. I don’t love. I will be going back there on a regular basis. It’s hard to believe this little place is tucked into a strip mall next to CVS, but it is a gem and not to be missed.

It is our new favoriting place. The food was sooo amazing - the lollipop lamb chops were superb! The music and service was outstanding. Very surprising for a small place to have such a complete package of deliciousness 💖🌻💖
