Astra at The St. Regis San Francisco

As a Marriott Platinum, I've stayed in Marriott brands across the globe. The St. Regis was by far the best experience we've ever had. From the smooth check in, to wonderful meals, to nightly Champagne toast, and including the gift sent to us from Selina and Daniel (concierges), this made our anniversary weekend a trip we won't ever forget! Thank You St. Regis!

Quiet space with lots of room on the first floor of the St Regis. The prices are very high, even for San Francisco.

Service (via Carlos and Carlos) was outstanding, and every morsel of the meal was delectable! Thank you!

I'm a little late in submitting this review, but the Marriott Bonvoy brand and affiliates are always worth the sacrifice. We had an excellent experience at the St. Regis in San Francisco. The staff was most hospitable, the facilities are beautiful and our most favorite aspect was the heated pool and spa area. Our family and friends had an amazing time there. We absolutely treasured the butler serenading my little niece for her first birthday. Thank you, St.Regis/Marriott Bonvoy, you always deliver.

We had afternoon tea at Astra. The staff was amazing and the tea was absolutely perfect, from tea choices through delicious and thoughtfully prepared food

Asesh was excellent and made sure that everyone in the Bridal Shower tea party was taken care of. He was very attentive and had to juggle a very large reservation. The tea was very communicative and helpful to work with our food allergies & dietary restrictions the weeks leading up to our reservation. Bright, modern setting and probably the most delicious afternoon tea I have had in the SF Bay Area. Thank you for hosting our party.

Went for SF Restaurant Week! One of my least favourite restaurant picks tbh. It's all gimmick, instagrammable but the food is so basic and bland. Went with the Lumache cacio e pepe, and it was just regular pasta. Nothing here is worth the price, and the gem lettuce salad? The out a hunk of lettuce on the plate and sprinkled grated cheese on it. Not impressed

As usual, the food was predictably delicious and presented well. Service was exceptional and the ambience was very pleasant. The restaurant is quiet enough that my friend and I could converse without raising our voices. I like this place very much.

The burger here use to be delicious; full of flavor and worth the $30. Now it’s basic and lacking any flavor. It doesn’t make sense that you pay $30 for a burger that doesn’t taste better than a $10 In-and-out burger.

The meat is cheap - it’s not wagyu. AND they have the audacity to charge $10 for avocado.

Never coming back here again

The Astra restaurant is San Francisco gem. We had high tea and Easter Brunch, and the food and service were outstanding. The tea had such delicacies as Dungeness crab and caviar. We had the truffle omelet for brunch, outstanding.

I and a friend had lunch at Astra for SF Week. I ordered the Restaurant week menu (2 courses for $45).
At the beginning of the experience, we were placed at a booth right near the kitchen door and next to a family of 4 with small noisy children. The dining room was empty except for one couple and a solo diner. I had entered notes when I made my Restaurant Week reservation. With what the hostess gave us, I asked to move tables to the opposite wall. Thank goodness I did because the children were just too loud and distracting.
About my meal:
The starter of gem lettuce salad, cheese, slices chilis and cilantro dressing was delicious. The second course of Ora Salmon from New Zealand was off. It seemed as if the chef blow torched the salmon exterior but left it uncooked. There was quinoa, cauliflower, diced carrots and Brussels sprouts on the plate with a drizzle of melted butter. I found the salmon bland. There was no seasoning at all. Shocking!
The plate also had an odd orange color that I wasn’t sure if it was a seasoned oil or something else. Bland is not acceptable!
My companion had the Wagyu burger. Since she had just returned from Japan, she knows what Wagyu tastes like. She also is a big Wagyu beef fan. She didn’t think the burger had Wagyu. Later on that night, she had stomach pains. She told me the next day, it seemed as if the burger gave her food poisoning ☠️ .
Overall:
Ambiance is very pretty
Food was okay to bad
Service was very good except for the hostess that day.

We went this morning for breakfast... food was great! I had the egg and avacado cheddar croissant ... it was delicious ! Waiter was very attentive and we would definitely go back again!

The afternoon tea experience was perfect. Everything was delicious, with a good amount of food, generous champagne portions, and an excellent tea selection.

Overall, it was a very good experience. However, I ordered and encouraged my friend to order, the lemon ricotta pancakes. I've had these many times in different restaurants and they've always been light, fluffy and delicious. I wish I could say the same was true for this restaurant. When our order arrived, it was one giant, thick, heavy pancake and was more like a poppyseed cake .... extremely disappointed. 

The tea service experience was amazing, the special savory dishes had a great taste and the desserts were delicious and not too sweet
