    I went to Pisco bar today in Saratoga after my haircut. I thought their food was good and the service was friendly. The salsa was good with the chips. I liked the salsa music they were playing and the murals of the hummingbirds on the walls.

    Pescado a lo macho
    Lexi R.

    Decided to give this place a try because I was desperately craving pervade a lo macho. The food was mediocre. A lot of the seafood was unfortunately overcooked. The sauce was okay, decent enough, but definitely falls short when I compare it to other pescado a lo machos I've had. My husband's lomo saltado was overcooked as well, though the flavor of the sauce on this dish was great! The service however was so kind and welcoming! I really wish we loved the food.

    Pisco Sour

    We came to Pisco Bar for happy hour and it was lovely! The service was so friendly and prompt, the pisco sours were excellent and beautifully presented, and our appetizers were delicious. They have some GREAT happy hour deals. Definitely worth a visit!

    I wanted to try Pisco Bar for a while and popped in on a Saturday afternoon when the place was relatively quiet....I chose a Pisco Sour cocktail which I found delicious and delicately sour, ideal for an afternoon. For an appetizer I had the cerviche pisco bar, a large portion, full of sharp tasting fish ... excellent! As a main I took the Paella Pisco Bar, not realising both starter and main took the name of the restaurant until writing this, but worth it. I only ate about half and took a box for home which the waitress was helpful with, for a dessert intended for later I took a packet of Alfajores biscuits which had a had centre ....

    Came here after an event on a weekend evening, and the place was surprisingly empty. The restaurant is comprised of two connecting rooms, with a bar in the entry room. I probably would've left 4 stars for the food, but it just took so incredibly long to receive food even though there were only a couple of tables of customers that we all got very hangry by the time the food came. I was also so annoyed at the waiter for many reasons - barely present even though he had like two tables. I mean the food was the kind of slow where he should have checked in and updated us. - didn't know his wines, and when I asked if I could try two, he said "we don't do that here". What is there not to do? just pour a sip into two glasses! - thirdly, I saw pictures of raw salmon on yelp that I wanted to order. I mistakenly ordered the Salmon a la Parilla which is cooked instead of the Tiradito de Salmon, which is raw. He asked me how I wanted the salmon cooked, and I replied "Isn't it raw?" and he said that he recommended it at least medium well done, and I let it go and said sure. I feel like that would've been a great opportunity to tell me perhaps I was thinking of the other raw salmon dish! Anyway, I didn't like the "creamy" soup-like quinoa that the Salmon a la Parilla came with. The seafood paella was really small, and was presented in a small bowl. By the time we realized we ordered the wrong dish, and the dishes were small, I was like heck no, I'm not waiting another 45 plus minutes to order another dish.

    If this is the standard for authentic Peruvian food then we're moving to Peru! Our first time and loved it!! The sweet ceviche is a must try and the beef was amazing!! Wonderful service. Highly recommend.

    Lettuce, avacado, shrimp, red onion, and cherry tomatoes

    Friendly wait staff and very nice menu selection Stopped in after a hike in Sanborn county park. Ordered a draft and the ensalada de Palta y Cameron's. The salad was very refreshing and I enjoyed the slightly sweet and tangy dressing. I grabbed a table street side. Lovely experience. This place is a hit

    The toilet paper situation. Lmao

    Honestly I don't know what to feel about this place. The dishes my mother & I had were great- EXCEPT for the fact they ran out of rice, so instead of letting us know, they just served my mom UNDERCOOKED rice. Like rice that was mushy yet hard in the middle and for some reason, incredibly salty. We let the waiter know & he brought the dish to the back to attempt to fix it, and then brought it back to our table and told us they ran out of rice and there wasn't anything they could do about it. ????? Maybe provide an alternative starch rather than make someone literally eat UNDERCOOKED rice???? Anyway, I had to give my mom most of my perfectly cooked rice for her to enjoy her Mother's Day meal. Unfortunately, the waiter misheard my father and served the wrong meal. It look the ENTIRE time we were there to remake what he ordered. My mom & I were really hungry since we just hiked so we ate our food. My dad has a low blood sugar issue so he needed sugar from a drink or food. He ordered a coke and never got it until I had to ask for the second time. We ended up just getting the correct order packed to-go after maybe 45 minutes or an hour of waiting. The waiter was really nice to us & comped my dad's meal and provided a discount for the rice which we really appreciated... It's a shame the because the food tasted AMAZING. Probably the best Peruvian food I've had in the Bay. I know it's a holiday & the restaurant might be understaffed, but the place wasn't busy at all. Tables were dirty for a long time, the bathroom lacked proper items, and the speaker's radio static kept going off. I really think this place could do SO much better for their customers. Lomo Saltado: flavor was a 10/10- except I only had a little bit of rice so overall 7/10 Seco de Res: 5/10- undercooked rice, good flavors Yuca w/ aji sauce: 10/10 favorite Ceviche Clasico: 10/10 but small portion CaipiCuzco drink: soooooo good 10/10 very little alcohol but just enough Pina Colada: 10/10

    Great service, really fantastic Pisco Sours and empanadas! The ambiance inside felt a bit dated.

    Ceviche Nikkei
    Carolina G.

    Came here with my husband on a Saturday night. I was excited about the food, but a little apprehensive about the service given prior reviews. The service was just fine and helpful. We ordered 2 ceviches - both very tasty, and the Arroz Con Mariscos, which was truly excellent. In terms of timeliness, I eat slow, and if you're in a rush, you might find the service slow. For us, the food came out at the perfect pace and allowed us to properly enjoy our Pisco Sours (very good and authentic) and ceviches before our main. Also, murals on the wall are beautiful. Will be back and would recommend.

    The Bank is No Longer a Dive--It's Saratoga's Must-Visit Cocktail Lounge! (5 Stars)…read more I was incredibly excited when I heard the longstanding establishment, The Bank, had new owners and was getting a refresh. For years, it was a classic Saratoga dive bar, but what the new ownership has done is absolutely transformative. This isn't just a renovation; it's a complete elevation of the entire experience. The Bank is officially a beautiful, high-end cocktail lounge. The interior is upscale, sophisticated, and chic--it's the perfect place for a date night or pre-dinner drink. Honestly, the level of detail they put into the reno is stunning, and I can't get over what they did with the bathrooms--they are next-level! The new owners are incredibly friendly, present, and absolutely focused on creating an amazing customer experience. They are clearly passionate about breathing new life into this landmark location. What You Must Try: You absolutely, positively must try their signature drink, The Trophy Wife. It is a perfectly balanced, unforgettable cocktail that showcases the talent behind the bar. If you haven't been in since the change, everyone needs to go check it out. This is a massive improvement for Saratoga's nightlife scene. I can't wait to see what they do to it next!

    My friends and I came here for pre-dinner drinks before a late reservation at La Fondue. I was…read moresearching for a place that offered Veuve Cliquot by the bottle, and The Bank fit the bill. The inside is very cute and offers a cozy library vibe, and the service was quick. We ended up getting both the bottle of veuve and a few additional drinks.

No big deal, as I wanted the bar anyway, but something others should keep in mind. The cocktail list is plentiful and intriguing. I tend to avoid tequila, so that eliminated a good chunk of the options. I went with Rose Colored Lenses, which was fantastic, and decently sized. Presentation was beautiful. My friend had All a Dream, also very good. The wine offerings are minimal, this is very much a cocktail or champagne type of place, with caviar being the primary food service. Speaking of service, the bartender was excellent, both in his mixology and demeanor. It took awhile to get the drinks, but I assume that was due to the complexity of the cocktails, paired with having just opened the doors a few min earlier. Two notes: 1. The barstools were a little too low, imo. I don't normally pay much attention to that detail, but these were uncomfortably low for me, even with my long torso, I was hyper aware of my posture. So maybe that's actually a good thing 2. Other patrons were rolling in shortly behind me, so there is probably an early crowd when they first open, then a late night group that appreciates the 2am closing time. Interior is beautiful, and you can use the steps up to the 2nd floor either from N Santa Cruz or the rear parking lot off W Main. More substantial food options are a mere few steps across the hall at Heritage.

The dining area is spacious. Even with lots of tables, the space didn't feel cramped. There's a mechanical burger station against the wall too. Someone ordered a burger so I was able to see it in action. That was fun to watch. Everything we ordered, from the small bites to the dessert, was excellent! Rice Bites was tasty, and the rice had a good crunch. Truffle Fries was good, though I've had better. Caesar Salad was good as well. Shake'n Beef was tender with good flavor. As You Wish - the chicken was moist and delicious. The Ube sticky rice gave the dish a nice sweetness. Couch Potato cocktail paired well with the As You Wish entree. The chocolate dessert (can't remember the name) was very rich. Have with coffee. The banana dessert (can't remember the name either) was very good. Too easy to eat, very light and not too sweet.

After a long waiting, we had to call a random waiter to order. Then we waited a long time to get our check. And nobody came to check in while we were eating. - Atmosphere feels cheap. It's those places where you can feel whoever designed the space tried to give luxurious vibe but failed. Feels all over the place and I don't like it. Robot burger adds to this feeling. - Overall including the atmosphere, the place feels gimmicky. Name of each menu could be more straight forward, plating of the dishes can be lighter, that robot burger machine can go away. - While the food wasn't bad due to everything else, I don't think I will be coming back.
