Pineapple and Pearls

Pineapple and Pearls is a contemporary American tasting-menu restaurant at 715 8th St SE on Barracks Row in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood of Washington, D.C., United States. It holds one Michelin star in the 2025 guide and sits next door to its sister restaurant Rose's Luxury. The format is a multi-course chef's tasting menu, priced at about $350 to $360 USD per person all-in, meaning that service and gratuity are included in the fixed price. A lower-priced bar tasting is also offered for guests who prefer a shorter, more informal experience. Because the menu is a changing multi-course sequence, individual dishes vary with the season, and the signature is the tasting menu as a whole rather than any single plate. The dining room is polished and intimate, with attentive, coordinated service and a pace designed for a long evening. Noise levels are low to moderate, and smart or business-casual dress is typical. A beverage programme with wine and non-alcoholic pairings accompanies the menu, and visitors should ask about pairing options when booking. Prices place it firmly in the $$$$ tier. Reservations are required and are made through Resy. Dinner is served Wednesday to Saturday only, with listings showing roughly 5pm to 9pm, and the restaurant is closed Sunday to Tuesday. Because the number of seats is limited and the restaurant is a high-profile destination, tables for weekend evenings should be booked well ahead, often several weeks, and reservation release dates should be checked on Resy. Cancellation and prepayment terms commonly apply to tasting-menu restaurants of this type, so confirm the policy when booking. The restaurant suits special occasions and travellers who plan a trip around a single high-end meal, and its Barracks Row address is close to the Capitol and Eastern Market areas.
