Lunch, Dinner, Opium Hour, Take Out, Catering & Events. The tastefully provocative STARFISH LAGUNA is located directly across from the Montage Resort, home to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. This gem of a restaurant is located in the heart of the Aliso Creek Shopping Center off Pacific Coast Highway, South Laguna Beach. From the moment you enter STARFISH , you will feel transported

to an exotic wonderland of Coastal Fusion. The menu features Asian Fusion cuisine, highlighted with ingredients from Thailand, Vietnam, China, Korea, and Japan. From delectable fish fresh from the sea, to savory and enticing beef, chicken and vegetable dishes, STARFISH has something to excite every palate. Delightfully unpredictable, the menu will pleasure your palate with tastes of Ginger, Lemon Grass, Thai Basil, Jasmine, Daikon, Thai curries and soy sauces. Summer rolls, pho, udon noodles, coconut rice, wok sauté, ribs and other chef's expressions of American renditions of classic Asian cuisine will be served. Equally as enticing as the menu is the ambience. STARFISH is destined to enchant with exciting contrasts of deep, vivid colors of the sea with those of radiant sunset skies. Tufted banquettes in luminous soft turquoise sensuously welcome guests, while sultry black lacquered tables and chairs complement the lush decor. The elegant, horseshoe-shaped STARFISH bar further welcomes you as it takes center stage. Muddled libations flavored with tarragon, ginger, coconut, lemongrass and mango will be prepared as you observe. Asian mojitos, martinis, sakes, craft and imported beers, and boutique wines are served to excite your palate.

Meet Alexis Stavropoulos- our January Star of the Month!
✨ Server at Starfish for almost 11 years, with 16 years of experience working alongside Archie! ✨

Did you know Alexis has been to all the continents and visited 81 countries? Her love for adventure is matched only by her passion for hospitality. During her pregnancy, she practically lived off pineapple juice and Miso Salmon salads—her Starfish favorite!

After a busy night, she decompresses by setting up the restaurant for the next day, ensuring her team walks into a clean, stocked space. At home, it’s all about a good book and a cup of hot tea. If she had to describe Starfish’s culture in three words, she’d say: “high vibrational community”

What motivates her? People. Alexis loves celebrating guests, supporting her coworkers, and creating connections beyond just taking an order. Her job’s theme song? Smooth Operator. (How fitting!)

Alexis’s Mantra: “Undeniable Reliable Debauchery”—a perfect reflection of her balance between hard work and unapologetic fun.

“Archie and Gretchen have helped me live my best life by providing me a job I truly love. Without them, most of my travels wouldn’t have happened. We’ve worked together through marriage, pregnancy, loss, and wins. That’s what life is about—ride-or-die people who inspire you to be your best.”

A Note from the Owners:
Alexis has been an essential part of Starfish for over 20 years, helping shape the vibrant, welcoming reputation we have in Laguna Beach. Her dedication and spirit make an impact every day, and we’re so proud to have her as part of our family.
