Destination-worthy seafood with ocean views and polished service; stick to fish and grilled seafood for the best experience.
Starfish exemplifies grade A standards through exceptional seafood quality—grilled whole fish, tender octopus, and bright Mediterranean starters executed with care—paired with outstanding service attentiveness that feels warmly personal rather than formal. The exceptional oceanfront setting with sunset views elevates the experience, though occasional inconsistency in meats and paella prevents the highest tier. Premium pricing is justified by ingredient quality and execution, making this a standout destination for seafood lovers on Tenerife's dining scene.
Set on a terrace above the Atlantic, Starfish pairs sunset views with polished, friendly service that many guests describe as warmly personal. One diner noted, "Our server remembered us and guided the fish choices," while another praised the relaxed resort vibe and smooth pacing. Expect a calm setting that feels upscale but easygoing. The kitchen leans Mediterranean and ingredient-focused: grilled whole fish by weight, tender octopus, and bright starters, with technique that feels elevated yet unfussy. Seafood is the clear highlight, while meats and the occasional paella can be uneven. Portions are refined, pricing sits on the premium side, and the experience benefits from staff explanations on fish weights and local wines—ideal for diners who value produce-driven cooking over theatrics. Families do well here thanks to kid-friendly staples like pasta, chicken fingers, fries, and pizza alongside simple sides. Allergies receive careful attention, though adventurous plates dominate the main menu. If you have picky eaters, emphasize the simpler items and sides; otherwise, let seafood lovers roam the grill for a more satisfying family dinner.
