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.

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.
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.

The staff was excellent, very helpful. The food was good, I ordered the Ceasar Salad, and it was delicious, not too much dressing. My only complaint is that the music was soooo loud, we had to yell to have a conversation. It is a bar/restaurant and it was brunch. Ridiculously loud music for a daytime meal. I will recommend this place but give a warning about the music.

Always a great time here - I was just disappointed they no longer have tuna tacos? However the service is always on point, the venue is beautiful and a total vibe with a great DJ Def one of the best brunches on Long Island !

I was great having brunch at Ainsworth especially with Sarah as our server. We met her before and she's always consistent, friendly, great memory and does a great job meeting her customers needs. Until our next Sunday brunch. Thanks again, Sarah.

We went for a friends Birthday Brunch. Our waiter was awesome. Very attentive and fun. The brunch menu offered some sweet options and some “regular” breakfast items. I'd definitely go back!

My friends and I chose The Ainsworth for our annual gift exchange for Christmas. It was a great experience with excellent service and tasty food. Our waitress Caroline was wonderful. We will definitely be coming back throughout the year. Happy Holidays !

Came here around 6 for dinner on a Saturday night and it was surprisingly dead. We both got skirt steaks which were thankfully very good although the rest of the dish could have been hot (mashed potaotes were luke warm at best). It was cold inside and I am not a fan of Country music and thats all that was played. We asked our waitress if thats all they play and she said its what the owner chooses which is unfortunate. Country music in Rocville Centre? At least maybe some holiday songs? Mix it up? Anything but awful country. Waitress was very nice/helpful so at least there was that. Would not go there again when places like Mesita and Salt are around and owned by them no less. Much livelier places.

Fun and energetic scene with delicious drinks and traditional bar food. Unfortunately, the service was minimal, had to track the waitress down each time to order drinks and no service whatsoever after the second round. Had to ask the manager twice for a check.
We had several $18 drinks missing key ingredients and garnishes, food was mediocre, staff left dirty dinner plates stacked on our table even when we had dessert brought out. Definitely overpriced for what they have to offer.

Absolutely delicious. Enjoying a morning birthday brunch before celebrating with family. Birthday surprise dessert was so special. Thank you for always making our visit so enjoyable.

Absolutely loved everything about Ainsworth. I came here to celebrate my birthday and I was not disappointed. The food was great and the service was even better. The atmosphere was energetic and I had a blast.

We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and it wasn't a good experience. We won't be back. Anything that had cheese (French onion soup, flatbreads) had way too much The food was overly salted. We couldn't finish it. The food was so bad we opted to not order entrees, plus, due to the horrible service we weren't even sure how long it would take to get the food. The service was terrible, and the restaurant wasn't packed. We had a non-attentive server. Very mediocre quality food and not worth the money. I feel bad because it was my husband's birthday.
