Beautiful location and nice ambiance inside for photos. The drinks are not that great, but they do have good bar food. The calamari is good and the bacon appetizer. The servers are pretty attentive and friendly. read more

The Ainsworth is swanky with dimmed lights and a great ambience to have a team or client dinner. I came here for a work dinner and they really nail it with the appetizers, not much so for mains and dessert. I ordered the Spicy Gem Caesar, the way they seasoned it made it addicting. The crispy garlic and pecorino elevated this Caesar salad to be satisfying texture-wise. Never been a fan of mushy salads but I loved the crunch and how the sauce lightly marinated the lettuce. The Chips & Dip Baby was even more addictive, just imagine a lox bagel being put into a dip, that's what it was. The fact that the chips are homemade made the difference, you can really taste the potato flavor. The smoked trout roe was a combination I never imagined, but it is a MUST GET. Then I had the smash burger, it was alright. Nothing too special to be honest. It was a little pricy for the quality. Donuts were really dry and drenched in oil, I didn't end up finishing it. Service was a little slow and nothing to be wow'd over. read more

Everything was decent nothing to write home about. I didn't care for the salad a lil too sweet. Service was great . Ambiance even better overlooking the Hudson River. Burger was mediocre.

Came here for a mixer and ended up having dinner. I parked in a near by garage attached to the restaurant. It was $35 for Saturday parking. We decided to have dinner after the mixer. We had to sit outside. It was a bit chilly and I wish they had space heaters but it was ok. I ordered the blacked chicken Alfredo and my sister ordered the chicken tacos. The food took about 25/30min to arrive. The pasta was really good but the tacos were hard to eat and fell apart. read more

One of the popular restaurants in Hoboken as it's located at the waterfront although trees and cars are still blocking the view. It was a nice spring day, so we sat outdoors for some drinks. The food did look promising, but we already had dinner plans. For drinks, my friend and I shared the Margarita Flight ($25), which came with 4 mini Mason glasses of flavored margarita. We upgraded the tequila to Casamigos for an extra $3, which was worth it. For flavors, it came with blackberry, mango, strawberry, and guava. I enjoyed the mango and guava most, but they were also the sweetest ones. Make sure you mix the syrup and tequila well though. The drinks are cute and the restaurant has a nice and fun vibe, but a bit pricey. They had someone taking photos and offering to sell them framed for $20 --very random and pricey. read more

I came here specifically to watch the Morocco World Cup match. I was the first customer at the bar, and the Morocco game was already on. As soon as another customer came in wanting to watch the Brazil game, the staff changed the TV to his game, even though I had been there first. After I asked, they finally split the TVs so both games were on. However, the audio was still only for the Brazil game, which made it frustrating to watch the Morocco match. When I pointed out that I had been there first and asked why only the other game had sound, I was given excuses instead of a solution. I hadn't even taken a sip of my drink. I paid my bill and left. I walked away feeling that my experience and request mattered less than the other customer's. Very disappointing service, and I won't be returning. read more

It was good but nothing mind blowing. I had the Mac and Cheese burger and it was very good but I couldn't help but feel it was missing something. The mac and cheese was a bit bland for my taste and it could have used some more flavor. Service was good though, niothing to write home about but nothing bad. Ambiance is good as well, again, nothing impressive but serves the job for a relaxed dinner or lunch! read more

Came here with a group of about 10 friends on a Saturday for brunch. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table, which came out quickly. The nachos are what stuck out to me the most, good portion to share with a big group and absolutely delicious! We also ordered wings, which I didn't get to try, but others said were great. For my main course I had the Caesar salad and I added chicken. The portion was pretty big, the chicken was seasoned well, and the salad was fresh. Our sever was pretty attentive and things came out pretty quickly for such a big group. read more

Pros: nice outside seating area facing the water, attentive and nice waitress who also refilled our chips Cons: sometime disorganized wait staff that did not know where to deliver our apps, bathroom had no soap, really loud inside and could barely make it to the bathroom with the swarms of people from a party right outside In terms of food it was all average or below and extremely overpriced. My burger was $24. It tasted "sour" which I thought was due to the cheese from the Mac and cheese on the burger until my nephew said his burger tasted sour too. I really hope I don't throw it up later . The chips in the chip trio had no salt or flavor, the guacamole also had no salt or flavor. $17 for cocktails. Skip this place and find a place in hoboken with better food, there are plenty. read more

We really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. Pictured is the Olive Martini dip which was very interesting, definitely a lot more dip than I was expecting. Overall The taste was pretty good and the crackers went very well with the dip. I got the veggie burger and it was quite delicious. I was excited to see that they had waffle fries as well. Unfortunately the service was not the best as we were waiting on the waiter several times during our lunch. Either way we hope to come back and try new items on the menu. read more

The drinks are strong and made to order, the appetizers and entrees are top shelf, you can sit outside and get a view of Manhattan skyline from Frank Sinatra Drive while you're pampered by the wait staff. I paid for parking at a garage as I don't believe there's any street parking in the area. The food may be a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Good stuff. I did giggle a little when I saw the donut with caviar on the menu, but this IS Hoboken read more

The Ainsworth in Hoboken is a classic restaurant to visit for a great time with one of the best bottomless brunch deals in this city! They have a tier of options to choose from to match your ideal price point. My group went with the second tier package which included bottomless mimosas, bloody mary's, screwdrivers, sangria, and bellinis. The ambiance of the place is truly so lively and fun! They have a dj playing great music and many Insta-worthy spots for pics! The service was great - the servers were very attentive and sweet, which we all really appreciated! The food is very good as well! I've gotten the hangover mac before and it does not disappoint! My only notes about this brunch spot would be is that some dishes charge an additional fee to add an egg for a dish it should seem included on - such as their avocado hash. It also can get kinda hot inside so make sure to dress accordingly for it! read more

We had a great time at The Ainsworth. We came here for a birthday party with a group of about 20. We were seated about 10 min after our reservation time, and the staff helped us to get situated seating-wise. Drinks came out fast, and the apps that we split for the table were pretty good. For my entree, I got the Brick Pressed Chicken which came with asparagus, mashed potatoes, and a port wine sauce. The portion was massive, so I had a ton leftover. It was delicious though, so no complaints here! We also brought our own cake for the birthday girl which the servers brought out in a flash. This restaurant is SUCH a good time on a Saturday night. The music, the people, the decor = everything. You're basically having dinner and dancing at a club at the same time. Definitely not a place you'd go for a quiet date night lol but great if you're celebrating an event and want to have a good time. read more

I went to Ainsworth for brunch with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. The workers there are so nice! Ambiance was beautiful and the live DJ played all the hits!

My family got brunch at the Ainsworth for my godmother's birthday and we had a phenomenal experience. We got the prefix menu and the cheese beignets were out of this world and had the perfect combination of savory and sweet (which the chicken and waffles also perfectly balanced). I don't know what this bacon thing was but it was some of the best bacon I've ever had in my life (sorry mom). They had donuts for dessert and they were super high quality and better than donuts you'd get at actual donut places. Our waiter was super attentive and made sure we had enough mimosas as well. If you're looking for a good brunch spot with awesome vibes, great food, and good music then stop by the Ainsworth! read more

Do NOT get the caviar nuggets. Seriously not worth it. The drinks are fine and the ny strip was ok.

I really enjoyed this restaurant!! I came here over the weekend with the family - that's right - baby too!! The restaurant is located to nicely in Hoboken overlooking the skyline of NYC. Not a direct view but across the street. And it's a family friendly restaurant!! We sat outside as it was beautiful weather. The service was great. Our waiter was very nice and even interacted so nicely with our 10 month baby. Very nice experience. The food was okay - a little pricey in my opinion for what you were getting. But that's NYC prices!! You're close enough I guess!! We ordered the salmon and the Mac and cheese. It was enough to share between the three of us. The Mac and cheese was the best. And I was so excited to know that my son likes Mac and cheese just like his momma!! Loved the place and I would definitely go back if in the area!! read more

The pros are they have nice happy hour from 4-6PM with good selection of drinks and apps. That said, the apps leave a lot to be desired. I got the buffalo cauliflower and it came on a bed of blue cheese dressing. I'm not a huge fan of the blue cheese so it was a bit over powering, but the apps were only $10 so good bang for your buck. I wouldn't be running to come back anytime soon, but if you're just looking for a standard happy hour deal then it's worth coming and sitting at the bar. The restaurant is spacious and has nice indoor and outdoor seating! read more

Ainsworth would have gotten 5/5 stars in my eyes if their pancakes didn't come on a plate with just syrup. They were so dry and like how can you mess up pancakes lol. Not even a side of butter / whip cream or fruit... like how can you not serve those three above The skillet on the other hand Bottomless Waitress is very attentive & sweet. Brought my puppy a water bowl and has been checking on us a lot :) chef: pls upgrade ur pancakes and you'll get a 5/5 from me read more

The food service and view was excellent. Had the fried chicken plater and my wife the spicy Caesar salad. We sat outside enjoined the view, service and food. Wood was great even helped us with our puppy read more

Disappointing overall. The food was average but priced like it should be much better. The chicken and waffles were served with a buffalo syrup on top, an untraditional twist that also made the chicken's crust soggy. The chicken itself was underseasoned, and I think the waffles had granulated sugar sprinkled on top, which felt out of place. We were seated outside in a cramped corner with slanted, uneven tables next to a wall of fake greenery. One side of the table was blocked by a beam, and the other was uncomfortably close to someone playing music on their phone. It's a shame because the location is really convenient for us. On a positive note, the service was excellent. read more

My time was wasted trying to book an event for my husband's birthday here. I never heard back from the events planner nor from staff after me and my family called and left voicemails. I should've looked at how low they're rated on here before even putting in the effort to plan this. Ainsworth NYC was super helpful trying to get in contact with them and even offering to host our event there. Unfortunately, they also didn't seem to have any luck. Thanks for leaving us hanging. read more

Located on the Hoboken waterfront, this American restaurant has a prime location with outdoor and indoor seating available. Looking at the staff this looks more like Latin than an American restaurant. The ambiance is pretty good and modern while the vibe is pretty chill. The server was friendly and was helpful when consulted regarding the dishes. For food, we ordered a trio dip, which is nachos and pita bread accompanied by guac, hummus and tzatziki sauce as dips. The pita bread was crisp, whereas the nachos seemed to be ready while the dips were fresh, I liked the guac and hummus, The tzatziki felt a bit sour to me. Chicken quesadilla was the next. It was topped with guac, the chicken was rightly seasoned and braised while the quesadillas were more crisp than soft, not sure if it's actually fresh or just pre heated. The last one we ordered was fried calamari, it seemed to have lacked salt though it has the right crisp while accompanied by marinara and ranch on the side. The ranch was creamy though. Overall the restaurant is a decent place to grab your food but it's terribly overpriced I felt. Either they can improve the quantity of food for the price or one can find better and cheaper options than this place! read more

The outdoor seating is really relaxing and nice. Their menu is expansive, and as a vegan I was able to modify the burger to have an impossible burger with a lettuce wrap. Note: their house made veggie patty is made with eggs. I feel like they have an opportunity to add a really good vegan option because their food is so fresh and their menu is large!! Olivia was wonderful, she went out of her way to make it a good experience. read more

Food was good, but definitely not worth the price. I could get the same food (except for the dishes with caviar) for 1/2 to 2/3 of the price. Matter of fact, I went to a restaurant just about 300' away last night that was excellent food and cheaper! The ambiance was a loud bar scene. Again, not worth the money--when I pay that much for food, I expect to be able to hear my table without them yelling. The service was absolutely HORRIBLE! The worst service I've had! The server would rather stand and visit with fellow servers than to serve us! We had a table of 8 and we set next to a table of 6. Menu says 6 or more gets an automatic 20% tip added. So she didn't care to serve us--she was already getting $64. Matter of fact, she took the food order for the table of 6 and then she walked over to me (before she put their order in) and I ordered a flight plus a refill on water. The table of 6 got their entire food order and were at least halfway through eating it before I got my drinks and still no water! She gave us 1 pitcher for 8 people!!! So finally, a good 5 minutes after I asked for the water again, we got it. Will NEVER go back! NEVER! Absolutely positively not worth it! read more

This is a great location- by the water, a long walk way, site seeing and people watchin'. Bites: Fish Tacos - Kinda basic, unless they're loaded with fish- the mango, pineapple 'decorum' salsa, sauce, etc... can be overwhelming. It would be great to get a fish taco with cheese. Fish and cheese go together great! Mac & Cheese Burger - He said it was ehhh. Said the Mac was a lil bland. Decided he'll take it home and dress it up. Mac & Cheese (oops no pic) - This was the best part. Buttery & Cheesy! Served in a cute lil cast iron pan and enough to eat there and pack to go. Funny tho, when he tasted my Mac he said the Mac in his burger is not the same. Guess they said we'll use the regular Mac for the burger, lol! I pretty much get the same things to eat when I'm out so I'm lookin' for vibes. I wanna hear good music, look at pretty, fun people. Maybe we can go back for brunch and see if the energy picks up... read more

Scenery is beautiful but this place is not worth the hype. Went the first time to celebrate my friends graduations and did not have a pleasant time. It was too packed, too loud for a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the fish tacos and got chicken instead, which would of been okay if they tasted good, but they were super bland. The drink was strong but literally all I tasted was liquor. Visited a second time because my friend really wanted to try the gold wings and my advise is please save your money. They are not great at all. They were bitter and dry. There are definitely better places with the same views to go to in the area. read more

I called Ainsworth before opening on Sunday and was accommodated for my last minute reservation for brunch. I was so grateful they could accommodate a group of 12 the day of, because our previous reservation was a forced cancellation. The host answered my multiple questions and made accommodations accordingly with grace. Keep in mind, the parking sucks. There was a DJ, and all of the old school music was the perfect energy. Lastly, the aesthetics of the restaurant was beautiful. Rosé Sangria - This tasted so delicious, we ordered 3 pitchers. Hanging Bacon - This was the perfect combination of sweet and smoky, I couldn't stop eating them. Buffalo Cauliflower - This was full of delicious flavors. Loaded Skillet - This was good This a great restaurant to celebrate anything in your life and there our multiple locations you can try! read more

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals here. Apps were delicious - nachos, Buffalo cauliflower and mac n cheese bites. Not one bite was left or anything. Drinks were good - I had a summer mule and my friend had a rose sangria. Both were delicious but pricey at $16 each. Our other friends enjoyed the peach high noons. We then had to track our server down to order more drinks and dinner. Food came out quickly and tasted just as good as the appetizers. Regular and sweet potato fries were awesome. If I'm ever back in the area I will make it a point to eat at The Ainsworth. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for brunch with my girls. We had a reservation which we were running late for. Thankfully they were still able to accommodate us. Once we arrived we were greeted by the hostess and shown to our table. Once seated we waited 10mins before anyone else approached us. When our waitress did come over we all decided to go with the bottomless options. For $45 you get a brunch entree and 90mins of unlimited mimosas. I went with the Steak & Eggs which was seasoned well but the steak was very chewy. To the point I actually got tired of chewing and focused on the eggs and salad that accompanied it which were both tasty. We also had fried calamari which was very good. Our waitress checked on us periodically to make sure all was well. The vibe is very upbeat with multiple games playing on tv and a great selection of tunes playing. read more

People really need to not sleep on Hoboken and it's waterfront charm. We were hungry and thirsty so we decided to stop by The Ainsworth while we were in the area. Walking in The Ainsworth is a busy place and always is which is great. We got outdoor seating and loved the seafront view and to see people walking by. While the vibes were good the food and service pretty mediocre. Our table was crooked and despite mentioning it twice to our waitress, the table never was fixed by anyone. On top of this, we wanted to have our water refilled and never had it refilled either. For the food, we had nachos and burgers which were definitely decent portions however the taste was pretty mediocre. The Ainsworth has a prime spot in Hoboken so definitely a good drink spot. read more

I was able to try this restaurant by chance was in Hoboken and looking for a place To have brunch my initial place was crowded and ended up here and glad I did. What a vibe, they were able to seat us quickly. The food was good typical brunch food waffles etc however the DJ was bomb. I actually could've sat and vibed off the music for the rest of the day. He play everything and I loved every min. Very instagrammable if that's even a word but they have areas where you can take cute pics along with neon signs always a plus. It's also directly across from the pier which is great. I love Hoboken and I will definitely be back. read more

Had a Bday brunch celebration for a girlfriend here and it was great. This is a sports bar with really freakin good food. Big screen TVs everywhere , football Sunday is super busy. So if a big party make a reservation. Be prepared it's loud in here, they have a live DJ on Sunday's. I recommend the fish sandwich so flavorful, served with delicious fries.

Came here on a Friday afternoon on a a hot day but this side of the street was shady so it was very comfortable sitting outside and enjoying the view of NYC. Service was quick! The Sinatra burger was amazing!! The bread was soft and it has carmalized onions with crumbled blue cheese.. LOVE IT!! The grilled chicken with pesto mozzarella and peppers was also good.
