Pineapple on Parnell — Restaurant in Waitematā

I went to Pineapple on a whim, and it impressed me! It is pretty hidden, with no signage, making it slightly tricky to find, but it gives it an exclusive, secret vibe. It is high end, and you are expected to be wearing something semi-formal at a minimum. It's a small venue but comfortable; however, it can be pretty loud when busy. The decore of the place gives it an intimate feeling.The staff are fantastic, provide excellent service, and will make you anything you wish. The drinks are next level, very complex, but delicious! Cocktails are around the $22 mark but are quite a unique experience. I would recommend it for a special occasion or going out for a fun evening...

An atmosphere of ease, friendliness, and fun. Here you can meet interesting people, make new friends, and simply have a good time. Live music, an interesting themed evening, or just a friendly chat with the bartender—all this creates a unique atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. This is exactly what the bar I visited recently was like. Excellent interior, professional bartender, delicious drinks, and a friendly atmosphere—all this made my evening unforgettable. I can confidently recommend this bar to anyone looking for a place to relax...

A few of our friends have been there a few times, the vibe is just off now. The new owners use to work for the bar but ever since they got ownership we all feel that the customer service is just not the same. A bit of arrogancy is there. They dont try to build a rapport with customers anymore or even a quick hello and bye. They have other staff that helps them, it use to be a lot more friendlier. I know they get busy but its become a quick in and out place now. drinks are good there is no issue there but the hospitality is...
