    One of the worst experiences I've had in a sports bar in my entire life... I never write reviews, but this was beyond bad. I had to poor my own water because no server came to the table for 30 minutes. The server ended up being the hostess. THIS WAS AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE.

    The menu on open table for Ainsworth Social didn’t match the actual menu but I was still pleasantly surprised with the menu and enjoyed the entire experience

    Our group of 8 showed up for our reservation and were told they had a private party and couldn’t accommodate us. We had to wander around in the rain looking for alternate dinner plans on a Friday night in midtown. Very bad experience.

    Service was slow, food was good. Extremely noisy. Sat upstairs from bar. Would not go back if hoping to be able to talk while dining.

    New restaurant in HK so figured we’d give a try though clearly they are working out the kinks. Menu is limited and waaayyy overpriced. Burger was $30 with an a la carte order of standard fries. Signature cocktails were also pricey for the value and meh. Service also needs additional training. On 9th Ave where restaurants have steep competition, I’ll try the next restaurant that occupies this space after AS closes.
