The food is good. No one is arguing that. However avoid coming at dinner time. We waited 30 minutes to place our order. Another 30 minutes for the drinks and appetizers. The service was no bad, it was nonexistent. The ambiance is alright. read more

Pisco Bar - Peruvian Near Me - Saratoga, California

The food and service were great! They have a lemonade that is delicious and it is not in the menu so ask for it. Good ambience. Highly recommended! read more

I love this place - the food is excellent and wonderful cocktails and service. Among the many choices in downtown Saratoga, this shines. Seems often empty which I do not understand- you need to try it! read more

I decided to stop in and give this place a try since I love Peruvian ceviche. Wow! This place did not disappoint. I loved the flavors of Peru taking me back to my trip there in 2022. I highly recommend the ceviche moderno with the leche tigre. Delicioso!!! Gracias read more

This is the best Peruvian food I have ever tasted in the Bay Area! I would have to say it is also the best food in general I have tasted from a restaurant. The ambiance is amazing as well as the customer service. Chef Jenaro González cooks with perfection. His talent is like no other. If you're looking to try DELICIOUS Peruvian food, look no further because this place is hands down THE BEST. And I have tried many around the Bay Area. The lomo saltado (beef) melts in your mouth. I didn't picture that dish below because I couldn't wait to eat it. However all the other dishes I have listed below were AMAZING as well. Every ingredient is very flavorful. You won't regret dining here. It is truly an experience. BONUS POINTS for being in the heart of Saratoga with beautiful shops to walk around after your meal. read more

Pisco Bar - Pisco sours - 4 different flavors. - Peruvian Near Me - Saratoga, California

The appetizer of fried calamari and fish was a portion big enough to have been my whole meal, nice and crispy, flavorful dipping sauce. Next time it WILL be my meal so I won't have to share! read more

Went there on 1/12/24 at prime time 1730 because my wife wanted to go there to celebrate her birthday. We should have known when we walked into an empty restaurant and bar that this experience was going to be horrible. The appetizers and the entrees for myself, my wife, and my daughter were approaching being inedible. Even though the place was empty, the service was almost non existent. I had to go to the bar (which was empty) to pay the $150 bill. I did not want to complain and make a scene since it was my wife's birthday. read more

Tried this place a couple weeks ago and tried a few plates & drinks. Came back today to try new menu items & we didn't switch up the drinks because the pisco sours are amazing. (Also tastes delicious with the food.) Raul was taking care of us this time and went above and beyond. The lady who helped us prior was just as amazing. (I'm so sorry I forgot your name!) Will definitely be back! Perfect for lunch, dinner, or stop by their bar. read more

Mannnnnn, went to Pisco Bar because Peruvian food sounded good when we walked by. The outside setup looked good and spacious. My goodness. When I tell you that we were surprised and amazed at the same time. Service was a little slow however our server Corin (who we found out was the manager!) and her food suggestions more than made up for that. She recommended their ceviche dishe with leche de tigre and it was so good that we had to order another one. It has fresh fish, shrimp, calamari, onions, fried calamari and their leche de tigre sauce. read more

Pisco Bar - Front of the restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Saratoga, California

Awesome place, great food, waiting staff needs to check on already served tables to see if people need something.

My friend and I wanted a bite to eat before seeing a show at Saratoga Civic Theatre. The food was good but the service was so slow. And it was not busy or crowded. At one point we were actively looking for our server and she was rolling silverware looking at us looking for her and she just continued doing what she was doing. After a few more minutes she proceeded to go check on two other tables after walking right past us even though we tried to wave at her. Mind you we told her we were in a bit of a time crunch so we could make the show on time. Other servers helped us out occasionally but it was few and far between. The cocktails we had were also just kind of mehh. Might try one of the other spots in Downtown next time. I was kind of disappointed. read more

We just ate today and and our meal took almost 3 hours. Food is 4 stars; service is 2. While flavors of food were very good and everything tasted fresh, the service was really bad and a disorganized kitchen caused our main entrees to come out at different times + multiple other tables complained about delays. Shocking the restaurant can get away with such poor service and high prices. Drinks are pricey ($16 for a pisco sour) but mostly on point. We had chilcanos and pisco sours. Bartender had a horrible attitude while our server was kind and pleasant but never checked on us and let dishes pile up. Delicious dishes included papa rellena, causa de camarones, ceviche clásico. Main entrees, seco de res was great but not served hot enough. Lomo with quinoa was good but meat not the best. We had several drinks as we're celebrating 28 de Julio, our bill was over $400 for 4 adults and 1 child. I could not believe they charged $6 for a SCOOP of rice that should come with a dish (escabeche de pescado) This place has so much potential but needs a manager to give the team direction and organization. read more

Yummy Peruvian food in the beautiful downtown Saratoga!! The ceviche was fresh & the chicharrón de pollo was sooo juicy!! Also ordered lomo saltado & it was delicious. Chef even came out to make sure everything was up to par! Def. recommend! read more

Great cocktails ! Great food! Loved the ambiance, would come back here in a heartbeat

Wound up in Saratoga on Mother's Day 2024. Yesterday. I'll be quick here: Food was good. Service though relatively friendly, was simply the worst. The place was NOT packed at all. Not even close. Saratoga was pretty busy. People were waiting outside of a restaurant across the street from Pisco. (That was a sign.) The bathroom a mess. Also, and maybe worst, PAPER TOWELS were placed ON TOP of the toilet tissue holder!! Unreal. Another "sign"? Did we stay? Yup. We were meeting people at Hokone Gardens at 3. We had waited over an hour already. It was a dining experience we have never had and we've been to Europe! By the time we got our food, which again was not bad, not great, but not bad, it was 2:40. I told the waiter straight up, NOW, bring us our check. So we can eat and go. THAT took him some time. It was those irritating things like this waiter acknowledged we need more tea - we are OUT of tea - and then takes forever. People are dining. It's a verb. And more irritating, they were not busy!! Another example: we need one to-go box. He was talking to other people near us holding the to-go box! HE PASSED OUR TABLE!! He could have set it on the table as he passed, but he did not. These days we tip 25-30%. We left a 15% tip, but sadly I don't think that will make a point. If we'd left zero, they would have thought WE were jerks. Back in the day, the tip really meant something. Now they get us anyway. One more thing, something was missing on my dinner order, and the waiter pointed that out when our food arrived and said there would be a discount. (I don't care about a discount!) But, there of course was no discount on the ticket. I didn't get a chance to go ahead and pay for it all and tip 25% at least had this been a lovely experience. This was the worst and we will never go again. read more

The food and service were excellent. Well worth it. We had the empanadas, lomo saltado,, braised short ribs and pisco sours. All very freshly made and delicious. read more

I have been at this restaurant a number of times now. Pisco sour drinks are all great, and the food is really some of the best you will get in the Bay Area. It's one of the top restaurants my family likes going to, it never disappoints. I really hope word gets out for this place as they put a lot of effort into all their food. read more

Service was good. Drinks were strong and delicious. We shared the ceviche clásico, the anticucho de lomo and the empuñaditas. All was tasty but the ceviche was a little low in flavor. We went for an early dinner and it wasn't busy but the place quickly filled up by the time we left. Would go again. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night. It is a legit Peruvian restaurant . Price is reasonable. My Pisco sour was served in a chilled glass! We had the Lomo, ceviche and empanadas. We thoroughly enjoyed them. So happy there's a Peruvian restaurant nearby. read more

Salsa and chips are amazing flavors. Passionfruit drink is really well flavored. And the paella was . Will definitely return. Incredible food. read more

Having been to three Limon Rotisserie locations, Puerto 27, and various other Peruvian restaurants, Pisco Bar, by far, is my absolute favorite! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We quickly sat down and ordered a Pisco Sour flight (strawberry, blueberry and cucumber), Chicharrones de Pollo, Ceviche Mixto (spicy) and the Lomo Saltado. Amazing! The portions were large and each dish was extremely flavorful. This just became mine and my husband's favorite restaurant. read more

Pisco Bar - Platos y bebidas semanales. Especiales que te antojan - Peruvian Near Me - Saratoga, California

The changed the interior slightly after no ownership. It seemed slightly more upscale in the past but not sure. We usely come for the Lomo Saltado or have under the old ownership. We purchased take out recently and the Lomo was incredible. The flavor was great and just the right amount of sauce. The packaged the rice and fries separate which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend this dish. read more

We were here during the car show and decided to give this new place a try. It must have been the soft opening because there was a bit of chaos going on with the staff. I like the hummingbird motif going on. Though it took a while to get our order in, the ceviche I got was one of the best I've had. I got the Classico and enjoyed it very much. I wish I had stayed long enough to enjoy the band. I get the vibe that this place is very proud of it's Peruvian heritage and cuisine. read more

The ceviche, empanadas, and paella were excellent, and my husband enjoyed the pisco sour very much. The rock en español was a nice touch too! read more

We were so excited to try this spot since our group all love pisco sours but we were thoroughly disappointed. The pisco sours lacked taste and 50% of the glass was just the egg white foam. Staff is very friendly but for a place called Pisco Bar I would hope they improve their drinks. read more

So I came across this place yesterday on Yelp and was really excited about trying it out . First red flag was that when we walked in we were not greeted but white couple next to us was. We find our seats and it takes 15 minutes to be served WATER. Keep in mind there are not many guest and it was fully staffed. When ordering we were given rude and straightforward answers with no expression. We were only checked on ONCE. Why ? Because We are in our late 20s with ethnic backgrounds. Why is it that we were treated so badly but the European American looking customers were not ? I spoke Spanish so that it would be easier to order yet all I got was a blank stare. This is not okay and people shouldn't judge based on how we dress or look. We always tip well and say please and thank you. It was uncalled for and unwelcoming . Please do better. read more

Good stuff! Environment was chill and service was nice. Loved the lomo saltado. First time trying the causa, it was decent. Pisco sours were good. Lots of flavor options. Those are pretty hard to mess up. The pasta a lo macho was solid. If I were to go back I would re order the lomo saltado and anticuchos (forgot to snag a pic but they were good). I probably wouldn't get the pasta again but would love to try the paella read more

Food is great! The octopus ceviche is a must try! Service is a lil bit slow but food made up for it.

Wonderful food and atmosphere. We've enjoyed many meals here and have never been disappointed. The service is always impeccable. One of the servers; Sarah is always a pleasure she makes you feel like you're meeting with a friend. Highly recommend this Peruvian restaurant. read more

Solid place for Peruvian food! Pisco sour was very good; refreshing and right flavor. Wife had a basil cocktail that was excellent. Has the ceviche mixer. The ceviche Classico could've used a touch more acidity and bite. The ceviche chino was quite good. The beef hearts were solid; been so long since I had them! The paella was solid - nicely presented but a touch heavy on sauce and salt. Overall, a bit more nuance and complexity to their flavors and then this place would be really good. Great spot in Saratoga. Didn't experience any slowness in service until after main course, when we were sitting their for a bit longer than typical. read more

My wife and I love this restaurant. We have been coming for several years and the food and service are always excellent. Last weekend we had the Chicarron de Pollo appetizer, Seco de Res (short ribs) and Chuleta Ahumada (smoked pork chops) for entrees. We tried Yucca fries for a side. All were great. My wife tried a pisco sour for the first time and loved it. Highly recommended! read more

Great food service and drinks Outdoor place was also clean. Will visit this place again in the near future read more

My favorite place to eat! The cocktails are really good! Love Peruvian food and they know how to cook it
