The 12 Best DC Restaurants For Special Occasions - Washington DC - The Infatuation
"Pineapple & Pearls throws a party in their dining room every night, and for $325 a head, you can be part of it. The food is great (which it should be for this price), but we’re most impressed by the staff, who dance and sing along to the Wash-FM-style playlist while chatting with you and your friends. Telling you exactly what happens during dinner at Pineapple & Pearls would be like spoiling the ending to The Menu, though you might end up with a similar take-home item. The choose your own adventure options on the four course tasting menu rotate, but if they have Marco’s gnocchi, get it. It’s the most pillowy, delicious version we’ve ever had. If you want to secure Friday night or weekend reservations at Pineapple & Pearls, book as soon as reservations open at noon the first of the preceding month. Reserving slots for later days is possible, but booking in advance ensures the best outcome, especially for special occasions." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed, mekita rivas, allison robicelli
