Dining at Pineapple and Pearls is more than a meal, it's an experience that borders on theatrical. From the moment you walk in, the service is seamless, polished, and genuinely warm. Each course is a carefully choreographed moment of creativity,

That second star is coming back.
Mark it two, dude. You saw it here first. Drunk on the metro but still writing this up. When we first tried P&P about 8 years ago, we'd been to a handful of Michelin restaurants, and we felt the two stars were well deserved. We went back a

I don't understand how this restaurant lost a star.
This is one of the best meals I've ever had. We've eaten at a few Michelin spots around the country and this was honestly the best experience we've had. The food was OUTSTANDING. We didn't have one bad dish. I don't want to
Waste of money
I hardly give reviews but I feel I have to review pineapple & pearls. We went there to celebrate birthday. At the price point of nearly $475 per person, I am very very disappointed with pineapple & pearls. They focus too much on the presenta
Underwhelming
Unfortunately, this place has lost its mojo. Service had a few missteps that are just not at the standards that a Michelin star restaurant should have. Introductions to courses were a bit too theatrical. One course came out which appeared to be ve

When you describe pure joy, this is Pineapple and Pearls. This is a pre-fixe restaurant designed to bring you pure delight in every sip, in every dish, and in every fun exchange with your hosts and waiters. It IS an experience. Eat directly with yo
A party for dinner
You cannot avoid having fun here. The staff is so warm welcoming and happy all evening. They love sharing their enthusiasm about food. And the food is amazing in creativity, flavors, and presentation. Watching the creation of the dishes from the coun
Go for the experience/fun, not the food.
The entire dining experience is a never-ending story beginning with absynthe/champagne to ending the night with soft serve straight from a machine. Super fun, but I wasn't wowed by the food. For the price point, I wished that they had focused more on
5 star staff! The experience was wonderful.
The welcome drink (not exactly to our taste but was nice to sample), the photos while entering, the ambience (the decor, background music, staff moving around with a bounce in their step), the tiny envelop with a note celebrating our special day, the
Absolutely remarkable.
This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in DC. The staff was great, attentive, and very informative on the many dishes. No doubt it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. It's truly an amazing experience. The food ingredient combinations were

The folks that run this restaurant are nothing but class!! We had a reservation we had to cancel in celebration of my wife's 50th. The client service director, Lea, was very kind and asked where we were going to dine instead. When we arrived at the

We have never had a better dining experience.
Not really sure what to expect and pleasantly surprised. We sat at the chef's counter and were served by one of the chefs and a server in addition to the sommelier. This was by far the most expensive dining experience we have ever had, by a lot.

Disappointing, especially at this price point
I will divide my review into service, setting and food. The service was very attentive. The staff contributed to the “fun, happy” atmosphere that the restaurant is attempting to achieve. The setting was nice but a bit strange. The balloons al

The private dining experience in the She Loves Me room is a disaster. The restaurant doesn't have the capacity/competency to facilitate an experience that comes anywhere near to matching the price point. There was a COCKROACH in the room that crawl

Having first been to their sister restaurant (Rose's Luxury) which was an out of this world experience and value, P&P was a major let down. Service seemed a little disorganized and "theatrical". Food taste was subpar as many of the dish

Excellent food, limited options and too many gimmicks
This was our first time at Pineapple and Pearls. Unfortunately we had not been to its prior incarnation. No doubt the food is excellent. But the four course menu with 2 options per course provides relatively little choice especially for pescatarians

My boyfriend and I sat at the chef's counter last night and it did not disappoint! Reading the menu, we were a little unsure if we would like some of the dishes but decided to be adventurous and we are so glad we did! Every dish and wine pairing was
Pretty disappointing for a michelin star restaurant.
The food was okay but it was more theater than good food, and you can find much better theater experiences elsewhere. You can get a better food experience at many non-michelin star restaurants for half the price. Open kitchen is nice and wine team sa

Version 2.0 was inconsistent and unfortunately a disappointment
I love Aaron Silverman’s cooking – the inventive combinations of flavors, the purity of the results, and often the playfulness of the presentation. As a result, I ate at Pineapple and Pearls several times pre-COVID, and looked forward to the reto
Connect with users posting reservations for Pineapple and Pearls Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Pineapple and Pearls Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Pineapple and Pearls Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Pineapple and Pearls Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Pineapple and Pearls Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Pineapple and Pearls Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
