Amazing experience! Service is incredible, food is elegant & flavorful, but imo a real gem is the incredible mocktail/non-alcoholic pairings. These drinks are beyond delish, with a depth of flavor and smoothness that blew me away. Loved the upbeat vibe, fun soundtrack and down to the Loewe hand soap in the restroom, P&P shows the attention to high-end detail.

I had the amazing experience of being able to dine with Pineapple & Pearls for my 21st birthday! The entire experience was amazing-each member of staff we encountered was equally as such.. The best food I’ve ever had in my life and I’ve been fortunate enough to try some of the best restaurants around the world.. so in my opinion that’s saying something!! Such an unforgettable experience and I can’t wait come back! (Visited Oct 13 2023)

This was some of the best food I’ve ever eaten! The staff are fun and friendly, making you feel very special and at home. I’ve never had better gnocchi or Wagyu anywhere. Once in a lifetime food experience!

I'm not a former Michelin sous chef and I've never worked in a restaurant kitchen before, but the staff and food were absolutely incredible.We have frequented their sister restaurants several times for various occasions and decided for my partners birthday we would take it up a notch. Immediately walking into the door Cosmos recognized us - congratulations to you on the promotion I'd assume.The food was fun, approachable and the entire team made sure that from the moment we walked through the front door until we left that we felt welcomed and enjoyed our time.We enjoyed it so much we went back the next morning for coffee and ice cream. If y'all don't know the Red Velvet SLAAAPPPS! Seriously get it you won't be disappointed.I'm also not an English major just a nurse so please ignore any grammatical errors.

If you ever have the chance to go here, do it. It is an experience. The food is absolutely incredible and the staff knows how to curate an ambiance worthy of the chefs exquisite pairing of flavors.

A wonderful contemporary take on fine dining. No endless small courses and over the top snobbery. P&P have really created a party in a bottle here. Partaking in your course choices is a difficult endeavour, as your mind immediately envisions on what you’ll miss out on, as opposed to what you prefer. Lamb so tender it could be used as a mattress, and the pasta was a complete assault of buttery goodness. One of my favourite experiences in all of the USA, that lasted all the way until the morning after with their after dinner Wagyu burger.

Our experience here was phenomenal! We arrived and were warmly greeted. Everyone in the restaurant is so friendly and excited to have you there. We were at the chef's counter and it truly was an honor to see such a thoughtful staff working hard throughout the night. We sat down and received a thorough guidance from our waiter on the menu. It was very helpful to have his insights. Ian was my absolute favorite! I adored him in every way! He was so witty and entertaining during the entire night. The food was creative, unique, and delicious to the taste. There were so many food highlights, but the gnocchi was clearly handled with so much love while it was made. We opted for the zero proof pairing with the meal and it stole the show! The mixed drinks that came with each dish were so good. If I could have one thing at my last meal on earth, it would be the seedlip gin avocado drink. It. Was. Phenomenal. The Jell-O shot, butter popcorn frozen yogurt, and pancakes were cute, but the flavorings and necessity were not there for me. They did not add much to the meal unfortunately in flavor. The true only downfall of the evening was the rush of our last course. Four items were all brought out at the exact same time. It felt overcrowded and chaotic. We received the pancakes, crème brûlée, Manila dessert, and donut all at once as multiple waiters brought everything out. It was overwhelming and I did not feel like it allowed me to appreciate each option individually. Also, by the time that I got to the doughnut, it was no longer warm which was a bummer. If I could change one thing, it would have been this process because it felt like they needed our seats and we did not have time to enjoy the final courses. As we left the restaurant, the hostess lost my friend's jacket so we waited around for sometime as she brought out every single jacket other than my friend's. Finally, my friend snuck behind the scenes and realized her jacket was on the floor where the hostess could not see. We were so glad that we were able to find it before heading out to the cold, rain, and wind. Overall, it was great! Thank you pineapple and pearls for allowing us to have a wonderful time.

As a former sous chef at another 2 Michelin restaurant in NY, the food was disappointing and dear I say amateurish. The caviar on the beggars purse was mushy and not high quality. The sauce on the American Wagyu brisket from Oklahoma was too heavy and oversalted. The cornbread takoyaki was horribly executed. The beauty of authentic japanese takoyaki is the bonito flakes and the sauce, but the corn bread takoyaki had nothing comparable. And the chocolate cake crumble and moss forest floor concept for the lamb dish is at least 20 years old. Use liquid nitrogen to take it up a notch.

Staff there was so wonderful and accommodating to my family’s needs. So lovely and amazing. Worth every penny.
Highly recommend! This is my first Michelin star experience and I would say it is so far the most fun dining experience I've had. It is truly a party! We walked in with a wine glass, sat at the chefs table to watch the dishes being made - every plate is carefully curated, beautiful, and delicious! On top of the meal itself, we got some yummy dessert, a cute photo, and a wagyu burger to take home in a fancy box!

Our experience was amazing! Took my Mrs. for her birthday as well as mine. Lane was our server, but the experience as soon as you walk in to the first bite is a gastronomic experience. I would sell my first born child to eat here again, no lie.

A wonderful 2-star Michelin experience. We were here for a birthday dinner so we can the restaurant to ourselves. Everyone in the staff was so hospitable and friendly.The drinks are good and being able to sit at the bar and chat is a nice touch. The interior is cute and quirky with lots of cool designs and trinkets. The space itself is small but very intimate.The food itself was executed cleanly and well done. Each dish has a story that’s interesting to hear.My favorite dish was actually the dessert with ube and pineapple. The lasagna was also good but I thought it was a bit too acidic.While we weren’t able to order the Mocktail pairing, they are very open to giving non-alcoholic substitutions for the meal.Definitely recommend coming here to experience a fancy but fun dinner!
