My friend and I were able to walk in at opening on a Wednesday evening. We waited about 30 min before opening and were able to snag a table after someone cancelled. It's a cute inside with limited seating. The bread was a standout! We also ordered the snap pea salad and sesame tuna but the menu changes almost daily. I can say there were no misses and the food is simple but executed so well. I can understand why they have a star! Solid meal and would definitely come back when guests are in town.
Fantastic meal from start to finish. The first tuna bite was incredibly fresh, the seafood rice was rich, comforting, and packed flavor, and the pavlova was the perfect ending - light, crisp, and not overly sweet. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared and beautifully executed. Can't wait to come back.
I felt so lucky that my friend was able to snag us a reservation at the 4 Horsemen!! We were seated promptly at 11am and were invited into a cozy corner of the restaurant where I was able to soak in all the artwork and decor. Our server Sam was really knowledgeable and gave us a lot of recommendations. We ended up going with all of his favorites which were the sugar snap peas, the bigeye tuna and gnocco fritto, white asparagus and soked sablefish, the soft-boiled egg and blue crab and finally the steelhead trout. Sam was wonderful to also suggest us really delicious, salty, fresh and wild white wines to pair with our dishes. Everything we had were perfectly cooked with bold flavors. I could definitely taste the care and detail put into every dish. For the smoked sablefish dish, the sauce was so delicious, we asked for some toasted in-house sourdough to soak it up. The pavolva dessert at the end with the surprise paired wine was the perfect ending. I can see why this restaurant is well loved and feel very lucky and grateful that we could have an opportunity to dine here. Thank you so much Sam and team for a wonderful time! This is my most favorite restaurant in NYC!
Finally got to try The Four Horsemen and overall we had such a good experience. We ordered so many plates and courses so it really felt like we got to try a little bit of everything on the menu. The atmosphere was super intimate and cozy, and the service was paced really well throughout the night. Some of the dishes definitely could've had a little more flavor or seasoning, especially compared to how hyped up the restaurant is, but there were still a few standout plates that made the meal memorable. My favorites were the clams, the tuna, and the rice dish,all three were so simple but done really well. The tuna especially tasted incredibly fresh and balanced, and the clams had such a light, clean flavor that worked perfectly with the wine. You can tell this is one of those places focused on quality ingredients and a more understated approach to food rather than overly heavy flavors. Overall, really glad we went and it's definitely worth trying at least once, especially if you love sharing plates and trying a bunch of different dishes throughout the night.
Came for dinner a couple months ago and never got around to writing a review so here we go! For starters, we got in line at 4:30 or so on a Thursday and we were the 3rd party in line and things filled up quickly between walk-ins and reservations so get there early. We sat at the bar and it's quite a cozy experience. The service is stellar. We started off with a couple glasses of wine (great selection of oranges). We then tried an assortment of things with the geoduck sashimi, beef tartare, and fried Spanish mackerel being standouts. Also the dessert, which was fresh summer strawberries w an herby whipped cream- delectable! Overall a great spot, and I love that they change the menu so frequently.
Everything was truly delicious. We went to enjoy their lunch menu. What a treat. The chef is bringing fresh combinations of great flavors to a mostly seafood/vegetable forward menu. We started with two perfect oysters which had ikura, ramps, Thai chili oil and coriander flowers. Then sugar snap peas cooked perfectly with a hint of sesame - oil some special kind. But the superstar starter was the leek custard, with a mound of Osetra caviar atop a little dot of wasabi sprinkled with Alyssum flowers. $55 but worth it! Then we moved on to the seafood risotto which was the most toothsome risotto made with Japanese rice - seafood broth - and a mound of fresh red shrimp, razor clams, scallops hint of chili and a bit of mint. Perfection The charred white asparagus with sable fish with Shiro miso and green garlic was a complete surprise - delicious. Another superstar was the soft egg sitting in a sea of blue crab meat - in a brown butter garam salt bath. Served with a crusty baguette that we used to lap up all the amazingly tasty sauce. Unique - unsurpassed in flavor. We ending the savory courses with a lovely steelhead trout surrounded by thinly sliced fresh asparagus and fava beans with this basil and almond. Despite eating every last drop we made room for strawberry rhubarb pavlova. So well prepared. Little bits of crunchy raw rhubarb and nuts added a nice contrast to this often soft dessert. The wines are incredible and we had a Portuguese blend with a Cortes to cema (sp?) Service was beyond excellent. Friendly professional and even fun. Wine knowledge is first class. Hip and cool. The room is small. Getting a reservation is better than winning the lottery but just as challenging ! We love this place!
Waited in line for just a little over an hour to get on the waitlist, about the first 6 people got seated immediately before reservations began. We got the fennel and Asian pear salad to begin, which was refreshing and acidic but a bit too oily for my liking. A surprising standout dish were the sarano beans - it was warm, brothy, and very comforting. The tripe was a really interesting mix, and the I loved the contrasting texture of the large croutons. We also tried the skate wing and seafood rice, which were both also good! I also tried the sticky toffee pudding which was was extremely excited for, but just found it a little too sweet. However, the service was extremely good and attentive - never noticed my water being empty!
Four Horsemen continues to impress with its inventive small plates and attentive service, even if some minor details are overlooked. On my second visit, the thoughtfully designed space felt just as inviting. We sampled the rest of the menu after loving everything last time. Standouts included: Delicate Long Island fluke, perfectly portioned for sharing Squid ink deviled eggs - so good we ordered them again Deceptively simple lobster rice, bursting with flavor Revelatory yellow fin tuna - I'd return just for this The mackerel's fishiness may polarize, but the skin's easily removed for milder tastes. Desserts shone, from the millefeuille to cherry panna cotta with contrasting jellied top and luscious pudding beneath. Only quibble: a spoon would serve the panna cotta better than a fork for scooping every drop. When we asked, they graciously brought one, even noting they should consider always doing so. Reservations are scarce for good reason - Four Horsemen is a gem. I'll gladly vie for a table again to see what other creative dishes emerge from this kitchen. With just a bit more attention to small details like cutlery pairings, it would earn that final star.
Came here with a group of 5 for lunch after months of trying to grab a res. The interior is quite modern and chic. We pretty much ordered everything on the menu and most dishes are quite complex and refreshing. The steak and chicken are quite good. The service was fast and friendly. The whole experience did not stand out to me that much compared to some other restaurants of such fame.
Super interesting. The vegetarian options are quite limited, but I liked what I had. I was seated at the bar right away, but have seen super long waits when I've tried to go here in the past (1+ hours) so I got very lucky. The beets are soft and have some deeply caramelized notes. They're in a sauce that's mostly brown butter, balsamic vinegar, and some herbs. It pairs really well with the earthy beets, bringing some intensely rich, toasty, tart, and slightly sweet flavors. The la tur cheese alongside is incredible: funky, savory, creamy, and fresh from the scallions pressed into the side. The bread with cultured butter was great by itself - chewy and nutty, with tons of developed, complex flavor. The bartender recommended the bread with the beets because it's also great for mopping up the sauce - which added a whole new dimension. I had the sticky toffee pudding at the end. The whipped cream on top was light and fresh, complementing the rich and slightly spiced toffee cake. It's surrounded by a slightly tart and sweet caramel sauce, and topped with a healthy pinch of salt that really pops through. The bill came to $72 with tax and tip. A bit on the expensive side, but definitely worth it.
Delicious! Loved all dishes except for one and had a great experience. The tuna, wagyu, and duck were so so good. The ibérico pork was also tasty as was the chicken. The chicken was cooked so well. But the star of the show for me was the soft boiled egg with blue carb. Phenomenal. I wouldn't order the seafood rice again... it was a little sad after having all these great flavors then just a bland rice. No flavor! The seafood in it was good but the rice was so plain. And for $40! The mushroom dish was also delicious we all loved it. We had to try all 3 desserts and each of them were lovely. Chocolate sorbet, panna cotta, and pavlova. Each were amazing and I didn't think I was going to like them as much as I did. Ambiance is so nice and I'd love to come back to try their wines and share some plates.. but so hard to get a spot. Alas, it was a good experience :) Definitely pricey though!!!
Flavors were exciting and different. I'm not usually a wine person, but tried the Enderie + Moll 2023 'weis + grau' baden (orange/skin contact) and I enjoyed it. Ordered: - Sea Scallop + Leek custard: Very yummy and different from anything else I tried before. I basically felt like a scallop panna cotta. Very yummy, I would consider getting my own next time. - Seafood Rice: It was very good but this one just didn't taste unique. Basically was a seafood risotto - Iberico Pork Collar: A little fatty but very yummy. All the ingredients complimented each other very well. Restaurant felt cozy and homey. We did a walk in on a Sunday lunch and there was a small wait. We got there about 30 before they opened and there was no one in line. We returned (about 5 minutes before opening) after getting coffee/matcha and there was about 8 people in front of us when.

Great food and great service. We made a reservation for opening time (11 am), and it was pretty busy. They serve small plates, and we (3 girls) were recommended to get around 5 dishes. I think that would've been good, but we ended up getting 4 which was fine as well. We started with the yellowfin tuna and gnocco fritto, which was delicious, but maybe my least favorite bite. We then got the seafood rice, which was probably my favorite. It was a good size, and very creamy. It had an herby seafood topping which was delicious. After that we got the blue crab and soft boiled egg, which came with a baguette. It was super flavorful and the baguette was fresh. We ended with the muscovy duck breast, which was delicious, but a tad tough. Service was great. She was super attentive. Dishes came out one at a time, which I liked because it gave us enough time to enjoy each dish. Their menu rotates weekly, so if I lived around here, I could see myself coming sometimes to try other items. It is definitely on the pricier side, but very good food! I would come back again! read more
What a gem! The food is specTACULAR here; everything we ate was incredibly delicious and interesting. Props to the staff as well, service was very kind and accommodating, especially with choosing the wine for our food choices and just quietly and expertly taking care of us while we dined. The standout: the oeuf mayonnaise. You'd think it's just a poached egg with mayo and caviar but it is intensely rich and complex in flavor. Get the bread to eat this with to soak up more deliciousness - you'll want to keep eating this. The seafood rice was also incredibly hearty and rich considering how plain it initially looks, but oh my! Just delicious. read more

Just incredible. Master move was to come for lunch on a Friday, much easier to get a spot. We tried a bunch of things from the menu of the day - the mushroom in puff pastry was my favorite. Loved the wine selection and pavalova! I'd gladly come back here anytime read more

This place is impossible to get a reservation but decently easy to walk in if you go right at opening. My boyfriend and I went at 10:45AM, waiting until it opened at 11AM and pretty much got seated immediately. I think there's about 10 bar / walk in seats. The ambience and service were amazing! Super cozy and bistro-like. Service was quick and the waiter was super helpful with advising the proper # of dishes to get. It was also coursed perfectly. The food was delicious! Been to a couple of Michelin restaurants and this was one of my favorites. read more
everything was good and really fresh! I was worried this would be one of those overhyped overpriced hard to get a res places but it was not!! loved their flavor pairings and attention to detail. walked in and put our names down for a group of 3 at 5:30pm and were seated by 8. if you have time on a random weekday would rec this over trying to get a resy! menu changes often but the bread, all the desserts, and the pork chop were all incredible!! (mushroom toast and crudo were also highlights!) read more

After over 2 years in the city, I figured it was about time I came to check out this classic. Everything was amazing! It's beautiful inside, and our server was super kind, friendly, and helpful. She said we had to start with the bread and the oeuf, the latter of which was a super interesting dish that I'd definitely recommend everyone try once. For larger dishes, we had the cockles, golden rice, and roasted rainbow trout. All super delicious and a super great balance of flavours. The golden rice is something I'll be thinking about for a very long time - it may look like just another risotto, but it was the perfect balance of flavours like seafood brininess, lightness, saffron, etc. The rainbow trout was also super cool - don't think I've ever had a fish cooked like that before. After such a great meal, we couldn't stop with just one dessert. We tried the fig leaf panna cotta and passion fruit tart. Both delicious again - the panna cotta was a really nice thick, creamy consistency and the fennel pollen provided such an interesting, needed balance for the sweet passionfruit. 10/10 experience, no notes. I'll be coming back to try more dishes! read more
Unfortunately (for my wallet), I really enjoyed my meal at Four Horseman! I got lucky and was able to walk in for 2 with ease on a weekend. Obsessed with all the food, we got: - Spanish mackerel - Summer squash - Morel rice (if you love mushrooms, this is a must-get!) - Bernagat Scallops It is definitely pricey and small portions but I can confidently say that I savored each bite. read more
I've been hearing that The Four Horsemen is one of NYC's finest for years. As I am easily influenced, I resolved to go because I like wine, delicious small plates, LCD Soundsystem, and apocalypses. So every time I opened up Resy, I would check for a table here. And I never saw a single one open, at any time. So I didn't come in...for years. Eventually I got tired of waiting. I decided to quit work early, and drag my wife out to Williamsburg so we could stand on line on a Wednesday and try and snag seats right when they opened. And we did. (This is the move. Stop kowtowing to the tyranny of Resy. Take matters into your own hands.) We were the third or fourth party in line, and we were given two seats at the bar by a lovely, soft-spoken gentleman who set the tone for the great service we experienced throughout. The restaurant is terribly small, which I'm sure is what makes getting a reservation so difficult. It's funky and clean and unpretentious, with light wood slats making up the majority of the decor. The Four Horsemen is billed as a wine bar, and unsurprisingly the natural wine selection is excellent (and the bartender patient as you try and find what you're looking for). However, I was far more impressed by the food. It is OUTSTANDING. The Oeuf Mayonnaise is justifiably lauded, as it's not only visually arresting (unlike anything edible I've ever seen), but quite delicious as well. The carrot salad was delightful, we slurped up the butter beans in brodo happily, but it was the sweetbread skewers that stole my heart. Sweet and savory and tender, it singlehandedly changed my opinion of skewers. But just when that poor skewer thought we'd be together forever, the Sticky Toffee Pudding rolled in and gave me everything I'd ever wanted out of a dessert. I don't even care much for sweets, but this thing is SPECIAL. I would be happy with a glass of wine and this, forever. read more
There's not much more that can be said about this place that hasn't already been said by many others. But this was the best meal of this NYC trip. We turned up fifteen minutes before it opened on a Saturday and were the second 'non-reservation' party to get a seat at the bar. The food was incredible, the wines were superb and the service from all the staff was so memorable. Will definitely be back next time in NYC. Part of the fun here is letting the team pick your wines for you. read more

Feel like i have won new york dining now that ive finally had four horsemen. Few spots i feel a deep desire to hit now. I have found fulfillment Was on the beach and got in the line of bespoke individuals right at open on a thursday. Had a 30 min wait for two of us at the bar and the timing ended up working out perfectly. Roommate and i had actually the best time - the wine, every dish. Spectacular Bread is so good and a must imo. Oeuf mayo also how cld u not wanna try. Loved the salad we got too. I wanna come back so bad After christine and i went home and watched so many 2000s mvs. It was awesome read more
Food was just okay. So surprised this place is rated so well! The dishes are yummy but still quite simple. But I wouldn't pay as much for them again. I did enjoy my non alcoholic MURI wine that I was introduced to here. The highlight of this place is the speakeasy secret bar next door with a vibrant dance floor. Must checkout after dinner! read more
This place did everything right. I came solo for lunch and dinner, posted up at the bar and left fully obsessed. Flavors were out of this world. Great wine, perfect playlist, and a staff that really knows their food and menu! Tough to get a res, but worth every bite. I'm already plotting my return. read more

Had such an amazing dinner here I was speechless. I wasn't able to make a reservation but I tried walking in when they first opened and waited about 30 ish minute. They have a rotating menu so when I went a while back I had the Japanese madai, oeuf mayonnaise, yellow fin tuna and the hazelnut ice cream dessert. Everything was delicious and they paid such attention to detail for the food. My favorite might have been the oeuf mayonnaise though! They have a very extensive wine list and I had such a great time here. Service was amazing! It's a dimly lit restaurant as well. read more
Arrived 10 minutes before opening on July 4 and just missed the cutoff for the first seating, so we ended up waiting a little less than 1.5 hours. The ambiance is super cute and loved the wine as well! here is what we ordered: - Warm house bread (4/5): tasted so good! A bit thick, but so warm and soft and pillowy, and the butter was delicioujs - Green tomatoes (3.5/5): tart and tangy. Was not as big of a fan of the tomatoes but I loved the hazelnutes! - Long island fluke (5/5): fav dish of the night. Super light and refreshing, and the fish was high quality - Pea shoots (4.5/5): a very light, simple and refreshing salad. A bit expensive for what it is, but paired well with the food! - Scallop skewers (4.5/5): probably some of the most tender scallops I have ever had. - Pork tenderloin (3/5): this dish took a while to prepare and was definitely not my favorite. a bit too salty and the pork was also a bit tough, so would not get this again Would love to come back given the rotating menu, but not sure if its worth 1.5 hour wait... read more

I've been to The Four Horsemen twice now and loved every dish. We came on 9/6/25 and had somehow snagged an online reservation a few days before as people had canceled. We went with the Wagyu Tartare, Soft Shell Crab, Rainbow Trout, and Pork Collar. Tartare was a great start to the meal and covered with lots of parmigiano reggiano. Soft Shell Crab was my fave dish of the meal and had an addicting sweet pepper vinaigrette. Rainbow Trout was very delicious but as someone who doesn't love shiso, the shiso here was very overpowering. Also loved the Pork Collar, which came with a very delicious cherry glaze. Service was good but not quite as attentive as our first visit. read more
Finally had dinner here and it was awesome! My boyfriend and I arrived on a Thursday shortly before 5:30 PM (when they open) and line outside was pretty long. We waited and spoke to the reservation host by 6 PM. He told us to come back at 6:30 PM (they take your number and text you). As promised, we were seated at 6:30 PM on the dot! Wines and food were all fantastic. We ordered: + Long Island fluke + Escarole salad + Ramp rice + Gem clams + Bread + Sticky toffee pudding Fluke and dessert were my absolute favorite bites, followed by the ramp rice and the bread. The broth in the clams was also perfect. read more
Truly delightful experience at the Four Horsemen. We got in line around 4:45 for the 5:30pm opening and were lucky enough someone cancelled their reservation so we got a table! The service is warm, friendly and attentive; I loved our server so much and she recommended an incredible wine we both loved. We got 7 dishes total; shared the bread, I got the spring greens while hubby got the oysters. I did the fried mackerel when he had the tuna (this was a standout for him) and we both had the Yuba Pomodoro. The bread had a delicious butter with a seasoning that reminded me of rye bread, the spring greens were so delicious and fresh - such a delicate blend of salt that made me devour it. I loved my mackerel / the pomodoro was good and we both finished it but it was less of a standout for us than the others. We should have gotten the Oeufs (eggs) after peeping at another table! We finished off with sticky toffee pudding which had the perfect balance of hot/cold, salty/sweet and soft/crispy. We split it but I could have easily had three more. Bliss point achieved. Ambiance is lively but not loud; only about 8-9 tables apart from the bar seating. Romantic setting for a date but there was also a group of four doing a birthday as well; really warm, chic, brooklyn vibe. Loved it. Would definitely return & recommend. read more
This place is really incredible. The menu changes often, but it's basically a guarantee that whatever you order will be expertly prepared and delicious. It's a small, intimate venue that can feel a bit cramped at times, but service is impeccable & being able to watch the kitchen is good fun. The plates are small and expensive. 100% worth a visit for a special occasion (or just in general). read more
Came for brunch on a Sunday. Honestly, kind of overhyped and overpriced. Lamb Carpaccio: Good, not mindblowing. Not super memorable. Pea Shoot Salad: Very underwhelming and one-note. Feels like a rip-off that we paid $19 for this. Asparagus with White Crab Dip: Asparagus was tender and juicy, and the crab dip was great. The problem is, we can crab dip that tastes just as good for much less. Porcini Risotto: This was the best dish that we had for lunch. Very savory, and sprinkled with a nice porcini powder. Really melted in my mouth. I would pay for this dish. We walked in for lunch on a weekend. They actually still had seating for us! Service was very good. Staff were attentive. read more

From start to finish, I had a fantastic dinner here. Reservations can be difficult to secure, so if you plan to walk in, I recommend arriving early and keeping your party size small. I visited on a Sunday and was fortunate to be seated during the first service. The service was attentive and thoughtful, with the staff taking the time to answer all of our questions. I ordered the sourdough, a salad, and a grilled fish, and each dish was excellent, you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff were also very helpful in recommending wine pairings to complement the meal, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would gladly return. read more
One of the best meals I've had since I moved to New York!! Flavors were so interesting, complex, and well-executed! I can't believe I managed to snatch a reservation to check out this Michelin-stared restaurant with a daily rotating menu. -Started off with their house warmed bread which was fluffy and chewy on the inside and firmly crunchy on the outside. Loved the wheat-forward flavors and absolutely enjoyed it with their herbacious house made butter. -Hiramasa featured fresh yellow tail pieces in an appetizing citrus-y sauce -Cockles were addicting, especially with its umami, buttery, and garlic-y sauce! Paired with herbs and curry leaves, they were super aromatic and I wish I could drink every sip of the sauce. -Golden rice was my favorite savory dish of this meal and I wish everyone could get a bite of it!!! The rice radiated a strong shrimp forward, well-seasoned sauce, which paired deliciously with the sweetness and creaminess of the Santa Barbara Uni. The saffron accents added a floral sweetness and almost tanginess. There were so many layers and flavors that came together, and each bite was perfectly mixed! -Little gem featured fresh lettuce tossed in a creamy sauce with the right ratio of nori. Try it with a bite of fresh basil and the combination of flavors will blow your mind like it did to me! -Fried mackerel was a close second for me. I wasn't expecting it to be fried with a crispy layer of panko, but the meat was tender and paired so nicely with their tasty white aioli and the Meyer lemon yuzu sauce. It was savory, sweet, sour, creamy, and fishy all at the same time!! For desserts, the fig leaf panna cotta was so interesting and delicious. The fig leaves conferred a subtle peppery taste that contrasted with the mild sweetness and super creaminess of the panna cotta. The sea salt and the olive oil added extra dimensions, with an extra smoothness. This combination was so tasty I almost finished the whole thing myself. The chocolate torta was also so tasty! I'm not a classic cake girlie but the molten texture and prominent chocolate flavors melted in my mouth. Staff were nice and gave excellent recommendations for wine. The dim lighting makes it perfect for intimate settings. Loved every bite of my meal and I can't wait to come back!!! read more

The Four Horsemen was a hit and every dish slapped! The vibes seemed equal parts wine bar, restaurant, intimate, cozy and jazzy. Despite how close the tables are it didn't seem too loud and the low lighting seemed to enhance the dishes once on the table. The staff were very attentive and kind and made you feel like a regular. They made sure glasses were filled fast and service coming efficiently and were not intrusive at all. The wine selection is pretty thoughtful with geographically diverse options and well-curated. On to the food - the bread is some of the best complimentary I've ever had - warm, thick, soft, with a nice bite on the crust. The mushroom toast just an absolute flavor bomb with very nice contrasting textures. The rainbow trout was beautifully presented and tomato's added a bit of sweetness to the tender trout. Golden rice was simply delicious with a bit of uni (would've loved more!) and warmed me up inside. Spanish mackerel was crispy and had nice flavor with the sauce. Wagyu tartare seemed imbalanced in terms of actual amount of Wagyu - I'd say it was the relative weakest of all the dishes but still good. For dessert we split the tart and chocolate slice with cream - both so sweet and divine. Amazing meal and look forward to future visits! read more

The ambiance and service were great! The food however, was a disappointment. We ordered the hiramasa, bread, Wagyu tartare, iberico pork press, mushroom toast, fennel & Asian pear, sesame panna cotta, and sticky toffee pudding. The meal started with the hiramasa, bread, and Wagyu tartare. They were fantastic. The bread was warm and soft, and paired with the butter, it reminded me of pepperoni. I've never cared to try raw beef, but the Wagyu tartare makes me want to try others. The mushroom toast was good, just not as good as the first three. The fennel & Asian pear was good, really acidic. The pork was fine, but the sauce was too salty. The potatoes were potatoes. The dessert is where it fell off. The sesame panna cotta was fine. It was more of a pudding than a panna cotta. The sesame flavor was strong and not overpowered by the maple syrup. The sticky toffee pudding had a nice strong toffee flavor but that's the only redeemable quality. It was SO salty. The caramel was salty and the pudding itself was salty. Even when I ate one and not the other, it was too much. Unlike with the pork, I couldn't wipe off a lot of the sauce to avoid a majority of the extra salt. When asked, it was intentional for it to be so salty. The small plates are where it's at. But I'd avoid dessert unless you don't really taste salt. read more
