Editorial Review for N – by Alice Feiring
In Short
Hidden away on one of Soho's more secluded streets, this little restaurant and bar (pronounced "en-ye") is the ideal spot for an intimate drink. You can sit in the front or at the bar and knock back the excellent, deceptively fruity sangria or you can eat tapas at tables in the back. The little nibbles they offer go great with the amazing selection of sherries, their very decent wine bar and good, stiff drinks.

Hi, We came by on a Monday night to see the place for my boyfriend's birthday...we waited at the bar at least 20 minutes before getting a drink, same for the next one. The server preferred talking to his friends whereas everybody was just waiting. Anyway we decided to book the backroom for the next Saturday since we did not have any other place and since we were around 30. We called twice in the week and the girl on the phone was very kind and told us that there was no [roblem as from 10 pm. On Saturday night, all our friends were there but the guy did not reserve the entire room and we were just packed on 4 tables...Never mind, we decided to deal with. At midnight, the barmaid told us that the backroom was closing in..30 minutes !! Shame on us, we were supposed to stay ther until 4 ! I asked to see the manager, the guy came, was totally drunk or under something else and just told me that he did not have enough barmen for the backroom and that we would have to fit in the "main room" which was packed..and us 30 !! The guy was rude, arrogant and did not find to help us. Thankfully, we go out every week end and have good connections in the club so that we ( the 30 of us) could enter a very nice club ( Greenhouse by the way).. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND N, POOR SERVICE, BAD ATTITUDE

I often come to N on a weeknite, but I've also made the occasional visit on the weekend. While crowds predominate starting on Friday, one thing is absolutely consistent throughout the week: the service. In particular, there is a Russian bartender who complements the serene and, dare I say, ethereal, ambiance of the space. I honestly cannot be more unqualified and effusive in my praise. Every time I go there she has always made sure that my party and I are comfortable, and when I happen to arrive alone she engages me in conversation with a sincerety that makes group therapy seem as scripted as a Jerry Springer show! I don't know who to thank for this terrific place but please don't change it!
Pros: flamenco, sangria, bartenders
Cons: crowded on weekends
