Aurea - San Francisc

You MUST stop in this place when you are in Nob Hill! Tony at the bar is a true craftsman and was absolutely delightful to talk to. He will share great info about the history of San Fran and mix you up a delicious cocktail with a charming smile. The burger was SO GOOD I came back the next day for another. Get the ceviche to share. I will definitely recommend to friends and come back again if ever in San Fran.

Nice bar in the lobby of Stanford Court hotel. Friendly staff and nice tables with high chairs.

Manuel in the bar was the friendliest bar tender I have ever met. We came back 4 times to see him in the two days we stayed here in SF. We were not even staying at the hotel. My mom, sister and I loved Manuel.

Honestly, this is a great spot. The barkeep was really attentive, drinks were good, and the smash burger is one of the best I've had. Definitely worth a visit and if you're staying at the hotel you can't go wrong.

I love staying at the Stanford Court Hotel, and Aurea is a nice option on Nob Hill when we are on the run. The people who work here are very nice and accommodating, and we enjoy the service. There are several televisions to watch the games, and a full bar. I have eaten here three times and can highly recommend the burger and fries. It is not a fancy place at all, but to have a delicious burger and fries for under $15 on the top of Nob Hill is an excellent option. Avoid the busy time...it's open until 11pm.
