Food and service were amazing! If you want to just stare at each other and not talk at all this is the place to go and enjoy your food. The food is so yummy and the service was really great. BUT The DJ was so loud that our Apple Watches notified us for extreme noise level that if exposed to for more than 90 minutes could cause temporary hearing loss. We literally couldn't hear each other sitting right next to each other. We are quickly and went To a cafe down the block to chat. If the DJ wasn't so loud we would have lingered longer.

Me and my friend really enjoyed the food. The service was not the best because there were many very large groups being prioritized over just the two of us. The music was also very loud which made it difficult to have a conversation. If you are looking for upbeat music, good food, and are not in a rush, this place would be a good choice.

Well, this is gonna be a rough one. Let's change the name from Ainsworth to PAinsworth or Ains-not-worth it. We walked in at 2:30 and the music is blaring!!! So loud you can't hear the person right next to you. We chose the $150 Prosecco/Champagne/Rose combo. The Hampton Water Rose was opened and half full. Half Full! The server indicated that some must have spilled. We asked for a replacement and she seemed surprised. The food was good, but we got pancakes and waited and waited, and waited for Syrup. No one wants Syrup with Pancakes right? This restaurant is expensive, with mediocre service and good food.

I have been here 2 times now for birthday party brunches. It's been absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is amazing. The food is excellent. Service was also great! The host/manager was also so nice I highly recommend and can't wait till I go again.

Very nice staff but the crowd is absolutely Romper Room on Saturday night. And if you're old enough to know what Romper Room is, you'll likely not want to eat here. Is it a bar or a restaurant? It's trying too hard to be both and having an identity crisis.

Wow this place was LOUD! But it may have been that there were a few birthday parties going on simultaneously. My salmon that I ordered was BURNT! I have never gone to a restaurant that can jack up salmon! The staff and manager were very accommodating and apologetic, so sometimes things happen. When they brought my food back, which took a while, my meal was good. Redemption did occur.

My friend had her bridal party proposal brunch here today. The waitress (Samantha) and I believe the manager (Jerry) were so attentive and made the whole experience so much fun! They brought out a bottle of champagne with a sparkler on it and played “Marry You” by Bruno Mars as a special treat for the bride. The food was also delicious!Would definitely recommend coming here for any special occasion!!

Maneger really didn’t wanna accommodate our party of 20 for another table. It was really small and we was damn down on each other’s laps would not recommend a large party won’t go back there again.

Such a fun boozy brunch! Dj is great, food is good even though on their instagram the chicken and waffles are bone in and that's what I was expecting but they serve chicken tenders on a waffle. The chicken was juicy and the waffle was good. So it is what it is. But I've gone twice now and it was the same thing. Chicken tenders. So they should change their Instagram pics. Regardless a fun boozy experience! The waitresses are great even when it's packed. Very nice inside and spacious. Cute neon signs.

What truly sets The Ainsworth apart is its exemplary staff who consistently go above and beyond to ensure patrons feel welcome and well taken care of. Whether you're enjoying a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, The Ainsworth is a standout choice in Rockville Center for its delectable food and outstanding service.

Nice looking place, food presentation was nice taste was horrible, place smelled like there were dead rats in it. Service was good, manager was attentive and professional but couldn't get past the poor quality of food.
I went for brunch literally was so loud I had to scream to talk to my friend even though we sat all the way in the back of the restaurant. The DJ was so loud and it was overcrowded. Food was okay and the waiter kept coming back to ask us what we ordered. Even before we finished our drinks the manager came and took the table that was connected to ours to move it. Super rude. We will not be back.

Food was greasy. Very loud. Nothing special about this place. Waiter made us feel very rushed. Would not recommend or go back.
