As someone who travels for food, I was pleasantly surprised by The Ainsworth in Midtown NYC, especially after seeing a few mixed reviews online. My friends and I visited for brunch, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish.
The menu offers a wide range of brunch options — from creative pancake breakfast tacos to a delicious veggie omelet, McGriddle sandwich (with chicken, turkey bacon, and eggs), and perfectly cooked steak and eggs. Every dish was made with care and flavor. The team was accommodating with any adjustments, and service was truly 10/10.
If you’re celebrating a birthday or special occasion, this is the place to feel like royalty. The staff went above and beyond . For a group that doesn’t drink alcohol they made mocktail shots for us to enjoy and keep celebrating — even helping me surprise my friend with a birthday sash and tiara — and the complimentary dessert was yum yum!
The DJ kept the energy high with great music, so if you prefer a quieter setting, request a seat up front or upstairs. We loved the lively vibe and had an absolute blast.
Between the great service, delicious food, and photo-worthy rooftop ambiance, The Ainsworth Midtown is a must-visit brunch spot. Bonus: there’s a parking garage right next door.

The food and the atmosphere were good. Nothing extraordinary but definitely good food and pretty decor. We seat outside in the outdoor terrace.
My problem with this restaurant is that they do not explain the “brunch” menu appropriately. We were left with extra charges that should’ve been included with the $45pp, from the way the menu was described to us. We were also charged a 3.5% Service Charge!?! Automatic gratuity was also added but we expected that.
The server did her best I guess ‍♀️ but I felt that on a Sunday at 1p for brunch there wasn’t enough people working. Our server forgot to bring back our refill pitchers twice (at two separate times during our 2 hour sitting). And like I previously mentioned, she was misleading and made it seem like everything on the brunch menu was included in our brunch price. (Maybe not her fault, maybe this is how the restaurant operates to make more money?)
Also, for the “Bad & Bougie Brunch” there was supposed to be a DJ. We heard music it was low and it really didn’t sound like a DJ but rather someone just playing music on their phone and not a good variety of music either.

Anyway, we will not be returning considering
1. there was hair balls flying around the floor and being blown by the wind on top of some of the furniture the entire time we were eating.
2. I felt mislead by the server/restaurant and the extra charges.

Feel free to review the receipt mentioned above.

We had reservations for 11:15 a.m. on the rooftop only to find out it doesn’t even open until noon. The hostess (when she was at her post, which was rare) didn’t bother to share that info ahead of time, so we along with a few other confused guests waited around the bar for about 45 minutes, opening a tab just to kill time.

When the rooftop finally opened, there was a line, and seating was pretty chaotic. Whether you had a reservation or not didn’t seem to matter. Luckily, our waitress tried her best to make up for the lack of organization, she was kind, attentive, and doing her absolute best to keep up despite the poor handoff from the front.

Now, the food? Pretty on the plate, bland on the palate. It looked Instagram-ready but tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp, lukewarm and flavorless. For a place that banks so hard on presentation, a little seasoning wouldn’t hurt.

And let’s talk about the bathrooms, gross only one was working, and it smelled awful. This was barely past 12 p.m., so that’s saying something.

On the upside, the rooftop itself is aesthetically pleasing, definitely a photogenic spot if you’re chasing TikTok content or want a cute backdrop for brunch selfies. But for a native New Yorker who’s seen better brunches with less fuss? Once was enough.

The Ainsworth Midtown is easily one of the most beautiful and Instagrammable restaurants in New York City. The space is stunning, the main floor has a lively bar and a huge back room for brunches or private events with DJ setup, and the rooftop lounge is perfect for summer nights with views of the skyline.

The food was outstanding. I started with the Honey Buffalo Wings, Truffle Bacon Mac & Cheese, and Ahi Tuna Won Tacos, all flavorful and perfectly prepared. For entrées, I had the Bone Marrow Cacio e Pepe, which was rich, creamy, and genius, and the Lamb Chops with truffle mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, and a red wine apple glaze that balanced the dish beautifully.

The cocktails were just as impressive: the smooth Espresso Martini, fruity Sangria, and the signature Mr. Moore made the experience complete.

Overall, it’s upscale but welcoming, perfect for brunch, dinner, or rooftop drinks. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a stylish Manhattan spot with incredible food and drinks.

Loved our brunch date here last week, super cute setup. Got the BRUNCH IN THE SUN on their outdoor rooftop terrace: $55 per person and includes bottomless brunch cocktails and a legit huge entree! Add that wild Waffle board for only $45

Great spot for a fun brunch date in the autumn sun

Brunch isn’t brunch until you have done it BAD & BOOZY at The Ainsworth Midtown. For just $45, you get two full hours of unlimited brunch cocktails + an entrée of your choice yes, unlimited. The food came out quick the service was so smooth. We HAD A TIMEEEEEE!!!! It’s spacious, lots of room to move around and they even have a rooftop so you can enjoy your brunch with a little skyline. Whether it’s your birthday, bachelor or bachelorette party, or just a much needed girls or guys day add it to your list! There is even tons of TVs if you love sports it’s giving brunch for everybody. See my full experience on Instagram/TikTok: @travelnistaonthemove.

Such an amazing spot! I’ve been here a few times and it’s always a great experience. The Bad & Boozy Brunch was such a vibe, and they even had BOTTOMLESS Mimosas, a DJ, and lots of fun sparklers! We had brunch indoors, which was perfect, and also dinner on the rooftop, which was just as incredible! The food and drinks are delicious, the atmosphere is so fun, and the rooftop views are always unforgettable. The whole team was great, and Macie was amazing! A must-visit for brunch, dinner, and a good time all around! We will for sure be back!

You guys we came here for brunch and it was nearly the worst experience l’ve ever had. Don’t get me wrong the server and staff are great. But I’m sure the server forgot to ring our food in. We’ve been sitting here for 2 hours and only had 4 plates come out one by one within 15 mins of each other. We finally said something (we were so patient cause wym we sat here for 2 hours waiting) basically at 3 hrs now, the food finally comes out but it was only bc we had to say something AGAIN. Server said they would take off the alcohol. Wym we literally don’t even have food and still have bottles of this boozy thing still pretty full. Anyway food was mid on top of that so idk.
Do what u will with this review, maybe you’ll get a better experience than we did oh and my egg Benedict’s came out overcooked. Cries

Easily another addition to my favorites, the Ainsworth Midtown offers delicious food, amazing cocktails, exceptional service, and the perfect vibes for any occasion. They have an awesome happy hour offer every day from 4PM to 7PM that features all appetizers and signature cocktails being half-priced. Lizzie was very attentive and knowledgeable about menu items, and it was thanks in part to her insight and suggestions that I was able to choose the perfect dishes and cocktails. Every single item was delicious and well-portioned, and I especially loved the liquid snicker cocktail. They have an amazing bottomless brunch option of $45 or $55 which includes an entrée and bottomless drinks for 2 hours, that I’m dying to try!! They offer both indoor and outdoor terrace dining, and are an absolute must-visit restaurant.

It’s a cool spot. It’s a restaurant with loud music with a DJ, which can get you moving a bit. I have no complaints with the food.

The critique I had was that the service was a little bit slow. I remember my friend wanting dressing on her salad and asking the waiter for it, only to come when we had already finished with our food.

Also, I wish there were a reservation option for the rooftop. My friends and I specifically came for the rooftop and we were told we have to wait an hour to get a table. If we had known, we probably would’ve chosen another rooftop.

Overall the place was nice as a regular restaurant. The food was good. I like the coconut drink I had. If you’re looking for a restaurant with lively music and a DJ. This spot is great.
