Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Starfish Laguna Beach is a culinary gem offering "amazing food" and "excellent service." Known for its creative cocktails and vibrant Asian fusion menu, the restaurant excels with dishes like "lobster macadamia sushi roll" and "wok fired mussels." Although the atmosphere can be noisy, the patio provides a quieter dining option.

    Starfish-Laguna Beach is one of our favorite restaurants in Laguna Beach. The food is amazing. The cocktails are creative and innovative and the service is excellent. Special shout out to Connor behind the bar and our waitress Leslie.

    Starfish, Laguna Beach, never disappoints. It’s quite the happening place! The restaurant is, however, quite loud so sitting on patio is preferred.

    We sat outside on the patio and had to smell sewage the whole time. There’s a sewer vent in the parking lot Very disappointing We told our waitress and nothing was done about it. No offer to move. Needless to say I couldn’t eat my dinner.
