I absolutely loved this place. The service left something to be desired but the food and wine completely made up for it and made me forget! It took me months to get a reservation and I considered just showing up when it opened one day and walking in. We got a reservation for a Thursday at 5:30 pm for a group of 3 as soon as they opened and when I got there, there was already a line down the street. If I didn't have a reservation I don't know how long it would've taken to get in. I believe their menu changes often but we ordered The Oeuf Mayonnaise, Short Rib, and Mussels. We ended up getting a second order of the short rib because it was THAT good.

We loved The Four Horsemen! 4.5 stars. Excellent food and service. The only sour note was having to wait 45 minutes at the wine bar next door to be seated. We didn't mind relaxing there with a drink, and I'd like to come back just for the bar. Food: 5 stars. The oeuf mayonnaise is beautiful visually and is richly tasty, but the Berkshire pork loin was the standout. Sweet and salty with a nice crust and charred peppers. The green tomatoes were tangy and delicious too. Service: 5 stars. Our waiter was warm and friendly, and apologetic about the wait. I was worried they would be snooty about the natural wines (they're known for their wine list, we're not knowledgable about wine) but it was just the opposite. We were gently guided on what to order, under zero pretension from our waiter; we felt no pressure to price up and our waiter nailed our preferences with easy to drink, but still interesting, crowd pleasers. Ambiance: 4 stars. Buzzy and a bit tightly seated, but no issues with sound and nice background playlist (but not distracting).

We wallked in without reso during weekend dinner and got high top seating facing the windows. Food was pretty good but it felt cramped and pricey. Even with a table reso I think we would have felt similarly. Good to try but don't think we'd return

On a recent trip to NYC, The Four Horsemen was at the top of our list. My boyfriend had already been and claimed this to be his all time favorite restaurant in the city. I had high expectations and needless to say, I was blown away. We walked in with no reservation on a Monday night knowing that there would be a wait. We were quoted about a 3.5 hour wait and got on the waitlist. About an hour later, we got a text that our table was ready and we had 10 minutes to show up to claim it. It was a good thing we only ventured just down the street because we sped walked back as soon as we could! We were seated at the bar with the perfect view of the small intimate dining room, the talented bartenders, and the tiny kitchen with focused chefs. We ordered multiple dishes including a mixed salad, sourdough bread with the most amazing browned butter I've ever had, sesame seed yellowfin tuna, squid with pepperoncinis, pork loin, and a panna cotta/flan type (?) dessert. Along with so, so much wine. It might seem strange but the sourdough and browned butter was honestly one of the highlights of the meal. I still think about it. The tuna was perfectly cooked as was the squid. The squid paired surprisingly well with the pepperoncinis, a pairing I never thought of before but just makes so much sense now, and the pork loin was to die for. You best believe we gnawed on the bone, it was that good. The staff was incredible throughout. Recommending one amazing natural wine after the next. Their generosity and hospitality along with the absolute culinary masterpieces that rotate daily on the menu is why this place has a Michelin star (and actually deserves to keep it).

this place needs to be on your list. it's simple yet complex, delicious yet not overpowering - the perf balance. the food: i got the snap pea salad, skate wing, grilled squid, and potato sausage in curry sauce. everything was delish but i cannot get over how amazing the sauce the skate wing's were soaked in - it's creamy and savory, but also light?? crazy. the drinks: got a glass of skin contact, beaut! the space: small yet cozy the service: attentive!

We came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The service was great - our waiters were so nice and patient with us. We ordered a couple items: - snap pea salad: so yummy - yellowfin tuna: not the biggest portion but light and yummy - maccheroni: very creamy but wish there was more shrimp! - grilled hakkaido: sooo good, charred squid - boudin blanc: potatoes with a sausage in a curry sauce - hazelnut torta: tasted like a chocolate brownie but healthier! Everything was so so yummy but I thought it would've been more mind blowing.

This is one of the few Michelin star restaurants in Brooklyn and it was an excellent night dining here. We had to get reservations about a month in advance. You have to wake up and snag a slot as soon as reservations open up at 7 a.m. They get snatched up within seconds of them coming online. Inside the restaurant, the dining area feels confined, but they have tables that seat parties of 4-6 or a party of 2. The area was artsy and the audio quality of the music was coming out cleanly to complement overall vibe. Now. Let's talk about the food. Waiter recommended that we get about 5-6 items off the menu, so we did just that. The Gnocco Fitto is a savory beignet with prosciutto on top. Escarole salad was nutty and nicely dressed. I will rave about the yellowfin tuna: it's seared on the top, almost like a baked crust with sesame seeds liberally sprinkled across. It sat on a puddle of brown butter, which took the flavor and taste to new heights. If you can't tell by now, I loved it. I would recommend you get this dish. The Dungeness crab was great; albeit, a little too small portion for my liking. This is a soup within the crab's body shell. I enjoyed the seasoning and it had a smoky accent in the flavor. Service was top notch and what you can expect from a Michelin star restaurant. I loved this experience and would absolutely come back!

After many random nights of trying to walk in and get a seat, we finally managed to get one where we had to wait less than 20 minutes on a Wednesday night. While we waited, the hostess at the front was super nice and led us back to nightmoves(?) next door for a drink and to now wait in the cold. Before we knew it, our table was ready. We sat at the bar. It was packed and the vibe is low key pretentious tbh (from guests, not servers) but the food met the high bar. - warm bread (5/5): everything you want bread and butter to be. - yellowfin tuna (5/5): that sesame crust was bomb. Just a great, unique delicious plate. - salad (4.5/5): refreshing, well balanced - the squid (4.5/5): quite the statement dish. This was actually quite large. Perfectly charred. Didn't love the type of peppers that accompanied it but overall a very well prepped dish. - ricotta gnudi (5/5): these were pillows of ricotta and I would definitely order this again. Quite rich. - toffee pudding (5/5): save room for dessert! This was surprisingly delicious. Loved the sweet and salty combo. I found myself spooning every last drop of this. The only thing I found slightly disappointing was the wine, honestly the ones tried were good but considering they are known for its wine, I didn't really find the ones I tried too interesting. Was it worth the wait and effort to come dine here? I gotta say that it was. The food was just very solid and the ambiance felt like I was in someone's home. Next time, as hard as it can be, I'll try to make a reservation ahead of time or come again during an off hour.

I couldn't get reservations so I just walked in and was able to get a spot. The food was delicious and wonderfully plated. Service was great too - food came out pretty quickly Food: Monkfish - delicious with citrus Oeuf mayonnaise with caviar - delicious Squid with pickled peppers - delicious Mushroom with gnudi - ok Sticky toffee pudding - was a bit too sweet for me but it was good
