    I came here for a birthday celebration. We were seated upstairs and then were told that we weren’t going to be served because our party was too small to be on the couches. We were then moved back downstairs. Food was fine but I don’t think I’ll be back based off that experience.

    We made a reservation for 11am on the terrance. I got there around 10:50 and the staff was frantic that they weren’t open, yet the door was open. Once it hit 11 they let us know that the Terrance doesn’t open until 12:30pm despite what our reservation says and that they’re full. I gave the hostess a smirk after she mentioned that the 12:30 opening is in the small print, even though they allow reservations during this time. We ended up getting a table. Waits were long since they weren’t staffed appropriately. Food was good / basic which is why it gets a 2 star. Overall it was a stressful and hectic experience.

    I recently went to brunch at The Ainsworth, and while the value of the deal was great and the ambiance and music were definitely on point, the service was all over the place due to being seriously short-staffed. It took over 40 minutes just to get our first bottomless mimosa — which, let’s be honest, is just Brut champagne bottle and orange juice decanter. That should’ve been at the table within 10 minutes. Then, we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes to get our entrees and appetizers all at the same time. There was one server handling more than 10 tables, which is just wild for a packed brunch event. He was really kind and clearly doing his best, but he was overwhelmed and stretched way too thin. The Ainsworth has a great vibe and a lot of potential, but unless they address the staffing and service issues, the experience won’t live up to the setting.

    Had a reservation for two, and despite the restaurant being fairly empty, we were ignored by our server after placing our order. No drink refills, no water, no follow-up—despite our efforts to flag her down. Meanwhile, she chatted and tended to nearby tables while deliberately avoiding ours. After waiting 35 minutes for the check with our plates cleared, we had no choice but to leave cash and walk out. Disappointed in the lack of basic hospitality, especially on such a slow day.

    We came here for Mother's Day brunch and had such an amazing time! The restaurant was a bit empty during our meal time, but their was a live DJ who played the best music and we had our own mini party in the back of the restaurant. The food was great, our server was stellar and we had an all around awesome time celebrating the mothers in our group. We would definitely return if we were in NY again!

    Brunch was no longer being served due to “ private event “ which was just a NBA playoff game. So originally we had the brunch menu then were told oh sorry we can’t offer this anymore. Then two tables next to us which were seated after we’re ok’d to have brunch menu because they were “ influencers” then I see a server bring out something from the dinner menu. So three different menus going around. Very saddened by experience
