Pineapple & Pearls.

Aaron Silverman’s Pineapple & Pearls rejects the hushed reverence of traditional fine dining in favor of a high-energy, theatrical party. Designed with a nod to the decadence of Studio 54, the experience feels like a perpetual New Year’s Eve celebration, complete with upbeat music, velvet jackets, and a flurry of tableside flourishes. The multi-course tasting menu is structured around a sense of play, featuring inventive hits like "chips and dips" served in unfolding wooden boxes and a beggar’s purse with egg yolk and truffle. Service is choreographed but unpretentious, often involving tableside absinthe cocktails or copper pots of consommé poured over fresh herbs. Guests leave with more than a memory; the evening typically concludes with a take-home gift of a cheeseburger and cold brew, ensuring the festive spirit lasts well after you've left the dining room.
