Absolutely spectacular from start to finish. The hospitality, service, and attention to detail leaves nothing to be desired. It's an outstanding experience from the moment you walk through the door. We sat at the Chef's Counter last night for my husband's birthday, and it was by far the best dining experience we've ever had. Every member of the staff was the perfect balance of friendly, warm, and professional - never intrusive, but always available for your every need. The atmosphere was great. And most importantly, the food and beverage pairings were spectacular. I wasn't sure if I'd get the full experience, as I'm currently pregnant and couldn't enjoy the alcohol pairings and a few of the menu items, but the bar and kitchen teams delivered absolutely spectacular non-alcoholic mocktails and beverage pairings and were very attentive in substituting menu items where needed (i.e. no raw fish or unpasteurized cheese for me). The plating was beautiful, the timing was exactly what you'd want it to be (about 2.5 hours from start to finish to work through 11 courses), and the food itself was spectacular. So many layers of flavor, incredible broths and sauces, and lots of unexpected pairings. One of the few dining experiences that actually lives up to both the hype and the cost - simply outstanding.

From the time you walk in the door the staff is on point with impeccable hospitality. The food is good however the staff makes the experience unforgettable with their knowledge of the menu and attention to each detail.

My wife took me to Pineapple and Pearls on my birthday as a surprise dinner. I had no idea what we’re doing or where we were going but I was very pleased with this surprise. The entire experience from beginning to end felt very personable which made the experience a lot greater. Multiple people will come up to me and say happy birthday, and each server did a great job of making a connection while explaining the story behind the each course. There were eight courses in total. Each dish was fantastic some more unique than the others. The quality of the food is unmatched. This was honestly the experience of a lifetime.

This is a fine dining restaurant. Service, Quality, Food were all simply beautiful This is definitely worth the hype and every 5 star is has ever received. If you’ve never been to a Michelin reviewed restaurant, it will be unlike any regular restaurant you’ve ever been to. I was a bit skeptical. But the experience and food is definitely worth returning to. We enjoyed every single one of our dishes and the little surprises in between from the chef. Our dishes included our first round of appetizers which were the Raw Tuna & Watermelon, and Lamb. Second round of appetizers included Gnocchi and Five cheese ravioli (maybe it was 4 I can’t remember) Entrees were Coffee - Parmesan Risotto & Wagyu that was literally melt in your mouth. Dessert - I’ve never tasted anything more beautiful than the Creme Brûlée donut with the pear sorbet. The only complaint I have is that the music was a bit loud and the chefs, & waiters are a bit soft spoken so we missed a lot of what was described in what we were eating. However, great music selection. Our mouths were very happy when we left!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and it is quite that, an experience! Not only is the food excellent, but I felt like a kid dreaming up things in my imagination and watching them come to life! The decor, service, and presentation were outstandingly creative. I was transported into a magical dining universe, leaving me both enchanted and sated. The cocktails were top-notch, and each dish was accompanied by a captivating story or presentation from the staff. Highly recommend and I will be dining again!

Celebrated a birthday dinner tonight and my expectations were exceeded. I have never dined in such excellence and yet fun atmosphere. The food and customer service was spectacular. I felt like family, I felt like I was at a big party. It was beyond words. Thank you to Benjamin, whom served us and Justin whom took care of us with both great kindness and knowledge of wine. This is a truly spectacular place.

It was a very fun atmosphere and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive w/o being overbearing. That said, it was very expensive for the quality and amount of food. It was unique and very tasty. Disappointingly, we sat at the chef's counter and noticed that many of the dishes sat too long at the counter before being taking the food out to the guests. Simply put, many of our dishes were cold. That was very surprising, especially from 2 Michelin Star Restaurant. It was a very nice experience, but it wasn't worth the money. Most of the food was really good, not excellent. Sorry for them and their guests. We enjoyed the food and experience better at the Masseria chef's counter, 1 Michelin star. Oh well.

This was one of the most fun and unique fine dining experiences that i've ever had! My boyfriend and I celebrated his birthday here and everyone at Pineapple and Pearls made it such a special and fun night. The first course that they brought out was called the "beggars purse" which they instructed you to eat without using any hands! For the next course, I chose the pea chawanmushi which was SO delicious, and my boyfriend got the lamb, it was perfect, there was no gamey flavor at all! The next dish was my favorite pasta that I've ever eaten, "Marco's Gnocchi" was truly perfection, each gnocchi literally melted right in your mouth, and the truffles enhanced the delicious flavors even more. We also got the "Three Cheese Ravioli" which is meant to look and taste like Cheez Its and I could not believe how much it actually did! I loved how for all of the dishes there is an interactive presentation such as a tableside saucing, or shaving of truffles, etc. I haven't even mentioned how their drinks are so cool and taste incredible. I got a cocktail that came with a bump of caviar on the side, where else have you ever seen that?? I also got one that had the flavors of a salad and I cannot believe how good it tasted. My boyfriend got the N/A drink pairing and I definitely recommend it, it was so much fun and they paired perfectly with the dishes. "Epoisses Ice Cream & Hot Grayson Fondue" was the cheese course and our waiter poured some Dom Perignon from 2004 over it, it was such a luxurious course that also tasted wonderful. The dessert that we chose was meant to have the flavors of a taco truck, I never knew that could make for such a great dessert! They also gave my boyfriend the taste of the summer rainbow sorbets because he had always wanted to try that dessert, they were all so flavorful and satisfying. The night ended with the best soft serve that i've ever had, butter popcorn flavored! The service here was absolutely amazing, everyone was so kind and funny, and they made my boyfriend's birthday so special, we will never forget it.

From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, Pineapple and Pearls is a special experience. A hand crafted cocktail is made as you check in. Pictures are taken. Then you are whisked away to a lovely dining room that allows a clear view of the kitchen. There are only a few tables but tons of staff that have thought of everything to make your dining experience not only truly fine dining, but approachable and fun. The play list had us dancing in our seats. We were a party of six and there for a birthday celebration. So our three course meal started with champagne, followed by purses of caviar. The champagne was served in very delicate flutes. I will not ruin how the caviar was served but it was unexpected and delicious. As was each aspect of our meal. The thought, creativity and finishing touches were present with each successive dish. The flavor, preparation and presentation were pitch perfect. Our host spoiled us with the wine pairing for our meal. The sommelier was amazingly knowledgeable and thoughtful in her descriptions of each selection. It really added a nice layer to our enjoyment. Plus, she was super fun. I highly recommend experiencing Pineapple and Pearls. And no matter how full you might feel, you must get the truffle and caviar sundae as an additional dessert. It’s simply delicious. I will do my best to recreate it for my Christmas dinner. It was otherworldly and worth being overfull. There’s even an additional surprise after that! Enjoy!!!! A special note about the servers. They are excellent at their jobs and truly seem to like one another and work as a team. We all noticed and it made our experience that much more delightful!

Pineapple and Pearls lived up to its reputation. I did not get to visit when the resturant was using its old format. The resturant atmosphere is light and fun with purple balloons on the ceiling. The kitchen crew were friendly and I chatted with a few during my meal. The workers were diverse and had parador of men to women. Alek, who was the head chef was such a warm and genuine person. The resturant made no mistakes that I could tell, but the kitchen felt a little disorganized for a two star. You get to pick your courses from a few options. I don’t really like that and prefer when the meal is picked by the chef. I was a solo diner and they treated me very well. They gave me both gnocchi and ravioli so I didn’t have to choose. That was a nice touch. So the food and ambience lived up to reputation, but the diner was short with only a 4 courses. I prefer longer meals with many courses. Would come again with friends.

What a wild ride! This is not your average upscale dining expirience. No gentle harps playing in the background no stuffy butlers attending on you. Instead you get flavor combinations you wouldn't expect (try the coffee and parmesan risotto, just do it) and pop music playing in the background. And there are some surprises that you're bound to enjoy!
