Astra at The St. Regis San Francisco

I've been coming to Astra for their holiday tea for years, and it's always a really special treat at the end of the year. It's a chance to relax with a pot of tea, enjoy some delicious sweet and savory bites and enjoy a couple hours relaxing. Service is really top notch. This year Asesh was taking care of my table- there's another longtime waiter who's covered afternoon tea in years past- and the service was seamless. You can expect warm, thoughtful service, and Asesh made sure we had everything we needed, from explaining all the different offerings on the tea caddy, to setting our tea timers so the flavors were optimal (some teas oxidize and turn bitter if they steep too long). I have some food allergies/ dietary restrictions, which he noted and rechecked, which I really appreciate. Sometimes signals get crossed and details like that don't get passed along, but everything was handled professionally, so I didn't have to worry. This is not a strict British tea; it's a modern, California-inspired interpretation of afternoon tea. The ingredients and flavors are seasonal and the flatware and decor are contemporary and warm; the lobby has been renovated within the last few years and the brass accents glow. Astra's holiday tea always includes a little take home treat to keep the fun going, and this year they partnered with Laduree (the French macaron patisserie) so guests got macarons not just in the tea service, but also in a gift box to take home. It's definitely a splurge, but it's one that's worth it! Thanks for another great holiday tea, Astra!

Friendly staff, beautiful setting, yummy entrees. The food in San Francisco is crazy expensive but worth it.

Very stylish restaurant at the ground floor of the luxury St.Regis SF hotel. Located to the left of the hotel lobby, entry is also possible directly from the street side. Very convenient place in the SoMa district. Beautiful interior and decor with a nice festive season touch. Flower decoration with orchids on every table. The seating space is shared with the St.Regis bar. We came in for breakfast during our hotel stay. Busy on a saturday morning, but seated almost immediately. Welcoming, helpful and very polished staff throughout. Iced water served quickly while we chose from the breakfast menu. Top quality, great breakfast menu. Our drink and food choices were served within minutes. Nicely plated, great flavors. Highly recommended, for a celebration, for a breakfast / lunch / brunch / dinner, in conjunction with a stay at the St.Regis, anytime! Our only regret: we were limited in time due to a following appointment. We'll be back! Points and Miles tip: if staying in the hotel, you can apply the F&B credit (from destination fee) or get a free breakfast if you have high status

Fabulous holiday tea with impeccable service (thanks Aseth!). Gorgeous presentation, stellar teas ... my favorite in SF!

Absolutely stunning food! I was here for dinner and breakfast and both really delivered. Would highly recommend

I came here for the cherry blossom afternoon tea. Manika and Wen went above and beyond to make it so special for us since we were celebrating our anniversary. They were so attentive and hospitable. The food was good and the tea selection was nice. Highly recommend.

I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast at Astra in The St. Regis San Francisco! The décor of the hotel is stunning, as is that of the lobby and restaurant. Service was fantastic and my Cappuccino and Breakfast Croissant were fresh and delicious. Highly recommend checking out Astra if you're in the area.
