Came here with a large group for family birthday dinner. The food and service was top-notch and everyone was extremely happy. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a large space for dinner because this is now one of my favorite go-to spots. The servers were all very kind and accommodating and the food came out delicious and piping hot.

I only went to this place because open said it was Michelin award rated. It was not. the server we had had no idea what they were talking about about any sort of nice dish. Brought out some of the most disgusting water down wine that we had to talk to a manager to finally get replaced after the manager agreed it was literally just water. Service was mediocre. Never refilled any drinks never checked in on us. The food was amazing, but I got better service at McDonald’s. Would not recommend eating here.

Everything was great, food was great, atmosphere was fun. Only issue we had was with the server, she was slow and we had a party of 12 doing brunch and it took forever to get her attention for drinks etc. Overall would definitely come back

Not a great experience with ainslie, they sat at 40 person party in front of us. They took 30 min to seat them and they were hovering all over. The service was not great as well. Don’t recommend.

reception people was very rude, Our table was never ready so they sent us to a high table next to the bar, after that we talked with the manager and he fix that, putting us in a normal table, but the service overall very poor, except when we talked with the Manager. The place is SUPER NOISY, almost impossible to have a conversation

My friend and I had a 7:30 PM reservation and were seated without water for about 30 minutes. Once we got our water, we ordered and had to wait until 9:45 PM until our food came out. While we were waiting, the couple sitting next to us who came around 9:00 PM received their food before us, and one of them being a dish that we had already ordered before them. We complained to our server and nothing was done about this to help our experience at the restaurant.

Went to Ainslie Bowery for dinner on the Valentines Day with great expectations, however, the food was cold and chewy, there was only one person serving the entire room and it was very slow for everyone. Very disappointed.

I enjoyed my experience at Ainslie Bowery for the most part. Our waiter was a bit cold and did not inform us of the charges made for sparkling water. My partner’s shrimp was overcooked and at this price point i wouldn’t expect that.
