Laguna Beach is the culinary hot-spot of summer, now that that Starfish, Nancy Wilhelm’s newest culinary concept is open, and we hear that (unofficially) Katsuya, the highly anticipated Philippe Stark designed restaurant will open Friday, July 8 in the former hush restaurant location.
Starfish, across from the Montage Resort in South Laguna Beach, is Wilhelm’s latest foray into "AmerAsian" cuisine with influences from Thailand, Vietnam, China, Korea, and India. The menu features summer rolls, pho, udon and soba noodles, Bhutanese rice, wok sauté, ribs, and other classic Asian dishes with an American twist. Favorites include the the Kobe sliders, wild mushroom garlic noodles, and the five spice baby back ribs.
Be sure to try a muddled cocktail with fresh hibiscus, gogi blossoms, lemongrass and passion fruit. Or choose from artisan beers on tap, and a variety of boutique wines.
We’ve been huge fans of Wilhem’s original Tabu Grill in Laguna Beach - reviewed here - and we’re thrilled to welcome Starfish as a new dining option too. The more casual Starfish features a center stage bar, black lacquered tables, Asian art deco styling, and antiques and objects d’art that make it a sexy eaterie. You can read more about Starfish in the Coastline Pilot here.
Open for dinner 4 to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
30382 Coast Highway in Laguna Beach. 949.715.9200.
