    Fantastic, unique food. Service is always great, but yesterday, our server Sophia was EXCELLENT! Great menu, prices during Opium hour are great, and sitting out front on the sidewalk is the best seat in the house. Highly recommend.

    Perfect as always. Our go-to favorite in Laguna Beach. Our new favorite dish is the Cambodian filet with broccolini. Tender and delicious. Eddie took great care of us and the entire staff was super friendly. On a recent visit to the Sawdust Festival we had drinks at The Cove, which is also by Starfish. This is a super cozy corner space with great food, drinks and live music. Well worth a visit.

    Hi Randy, Thank you for the kind words—and the special shout-out to The Cove! We’re pretty excited about Starfish’s little sister, too. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

    We had the best time! We had an amazing server Paola! She provided recommendations that were spot on. It truly made the experience to follow her recs. She was super attentive. Warm and friendly. From the outside you aren't sure what to expect in a strip mall but once your inside transported into a cool vibe and have completely forgotten about the outside world.

    This is our favorite restaurant in Laguna Beach. We come every summer for two months and I call Starfish my second kitchen. The food is always fresh and delicious and the service and ambiance are great. I just wish they had blue cheese olives for my martini and that is the only negative thing I can say. When we go next week, I will take my own olives!

    We've driven by starfish many times and never stopped in. That was a mistake. This place has the most awesome ambiance and excellent food and service. The front of the building is not at all representative of the beauty inside. Check it out! You'll like it!!
