   2 of our dishes came out wrong and the rest of our party ate without us because the rest of our dish took so long to replace. The waitress did not write anything down so how could she possibly get it right. Would not go back. Food was very lackluster.

   It was a great place to watch a sporting event. Staff is very friendly too.

   Good food and drinks with the bottemless brunch menu. The vibes in the restaurant weren't great and the service was only okay.

   The food was decent but I expected better for the price. The waitress said one thing and the food came back another (not sure if she was trying to upsell to get a bigger tip or what but I was annoyed). Our waiter (Ashley V I believe) had zero customer service skills which was shocking. She seemed annoyed by every little thing and never checked on us once which is fine but when I’m paying over $10 for a tip, I expect someone nice and not someone who seems hassled by her job. I have worked in the food industry and understand having a bad day which is fine but I’ve never once taken it out on respectful, easy customers. She wasn’t bad, she just seemed annoyed and rude the second we walked in which was odd because we were respectful the entire time. We came at 5pm and the place was practically empty so not sure why she was so hassled.

   All our drinks came in plastic cups like I was at a fraternity party. Not mad about plastic cups but when a Tito’s Redbull is $20, I kinda want a real glass. Don’t think that’s too much to ask for

   My husband and I are from AL and in NYC for our wedding anniversary. I tried to surprise him with reservations to watch our beloved BAMA guys in the 3rd weekend in October game but The reservation process to watch the Alabama vs TN game was confusing and I messed up. Hostess April, server Matt, and server Taylor were phenomenal! April was able to move us to a booth in the BAMA area and we had an absolute blast! The food was good and I have to be gluten free, so feeling like Matt took it seriously, made the eating experience even better. The wings were baked and the sweet potato fries were fantastic! My husband had the nachos and loved the presentation! The only negative was the music; way too loud, but also, we’re 50, so we old. THANK YOU AND ROLL TIDE!!

   I was expecting the Ainsworth to be more fun with a friendlier staff. I would never bother going there again even if it was free. We had a terrible table with zero service so we had to walk to the bar (friendly there ) and fetch our own beers- well we did save on tips. The appetizers we had were great but we were not sticking around to order dinner, sorry. The hostess up front was so pathetic and self absorbed that you would be better off with a sign that says "Seat Yourself ". Sorry to be so negative but I was really looking forward to a football afternoon with my son at the Ainsworth. Forget that.

   Our server seems preoccupied with something as he was very fast every when he took the order. Little attention was paid to the other things we needed. There were two other servers that were very attentive any time we called them. It was also very loud coming from the back. They were prepping for a game so that seemed to have all the attention.

    Service was downright awful. The food was very good, not exceptional.
