The Four Horsemen

I've been dying to come here for a couple months, so I was super excited when one of my friends managed to snag a lunch reservation. The inside of the restaurant is cozy and warmly lit. There aren't many seats, and it filled up immediately upon opening.

We ordered a few things to share, including the celery salad with dates, walnuts, and cheese; the beef tartare on toast; the boudin blanc (sausage), served with prunes, mashed potatoes, and concentrated chicken stick; and the rum baba, served with vanilla cream. All of it was delicious.

All the staff were so nice and hospitable (ex.: folding your napkin for you if you step away from your seat; replacing dirty plates/cutlery between dishes).

If you're willing to spend a little extra for a nice meal, I'd recommend coming here.

Came for a weekend brunch, very difficult to get a reservation as it's a small space with limited seating. It's intimate, a bit loud, but the food is great, albeit small portions to share amongst a group and pricey but that's expected.

Love that their menu changes frequently so you never know what you're going to get. Had their curry eggs, agnolotti, and I think, beef tongue? Everything was delicious and the service was top-notch. Never felt rushed and enjoyed our time.

My sister and I came without reservations and were able to walk in (they allow this for bar seating) and were able to get a standing spot by the bar right away. Granted it was rainy and it was a Sunday.
They then moved us to a seat by the window which was great.
We ordered the curry eggs and it was delicious. The orange wine was also fantastic!

Don't sleep on the warm house bread. I'm going to be dreaming about it for the next few years. It would have been the star of the entire meal, but the Pork Loin Chop stole the show. It was cooked to perfection! Everything else was also really tasty but those are the one's I'm going to call out. The service was great. Our server helped is pick a bottle of wine and it was delicious. The inside is a low light intimate kind of place, but it can get a bit noisy because of how small the restaurant is. Recommend this place for a more laid back fine dining vibe!

This review is for weekend lunch. Was able to get a last minute reservation for two likely due to cancellations from bad weather. I know this place has a lot of hype. Did it blow my mind? No, but I thought it was very good. Food felt simple (not in a bad way), but well executed - high quality ingredients and good balance of flavors.

Ambiance / Service: very small and intimate. Not good or maybe even possible for groups of more than 4. I could see this being a nice date night spot. Service was good.

Food: meant to share. The waitress said to order 1-2 dishes PER person, depending on how hungry you are. We got 4 between 2 people and it was perfect. I ordered:

-Black Bass: this is ceviche. It's very simple, but refreshing, light, and lemony.

-Romaine: again, pretty simple, but well executed. Love how drenched in cheese it was.

-Gnocchi Fritto: least favorite, but definitely still good. It really just tasted like a deep fried puff pastry.

-Spaghetti: very flavorful!

Amazing food AND service. When we initially sat down, there was a group next to us who were extremely loud and the staff happily relocated us and proceeded to give us AMAZING service.

We ordered multiple things off of the menu and everything was delish! The skin contact wine was yummy as well.

We ended our meal with some olive oil cake and complimentary wine pairings since they ran out of one of the things we ordered. I'll definitely be back here!

Very intimate spot!

What an experience! We didn't have a reservation so decided to put ourselves on the waitlist. We were 6th in line and it took about 30-45 minutes to get in. Definitely worth the wait!

The atmosphere is cozy and candlelit. Our server was so friendly and helpful with recommendations for food and pairings of wine to go with it.

Apologies but I don't remember exactly what kind of fish I ordered - I think it was sea bass but since the menu changes often, idk. It was a really small portion so it was recommended that we order some bread and butter to go with it. That was an excellent recommendation because the bread and butter is the best I've tasted at a restaurant. The attention to detail is impeccable here as the bread was warmed perfectly, with the butter soft enough to spread.

My friend got the chicken which comes in a jus. Look at it, it's got the foot connected with the nails still attached! What a sight when it came to our table. It comes with roasted garlic which you can spread on the chicken or the bread, and you can dip the bread in the jus as well.

Everything was delicious from start to finish and I can't wait to go again.

The Four Horsemen has been on my list for the longest time - glad I finally managed to snag a res for lunch (since dinner is hard unless you wanna do 11pm). It's a small place, very cozy.

They're known for having a killer natural wine selection so I knew I had to order a glass. Funky orange wine. Good stuff.

They have a pretty short menu comprised of mostly small plates and larger mains all for sharing.

1. Black bass: The fish was a good starter. Zingy and fresh.
2. Romaine heart salad: the salad was also pretty good especially with the toasted nuts.
3. Pig's head toast was a bit too porky for my taste but that's expected.
4. The clams with the saffron broth and the pumpkin was killer. Definitely order some bread on the side with this.
5. Spaghetti ala Norma: The pasta came buried underneath all the cheese. The texture was perfectly Al dente. You could feel the craggles and ridges and they perfectly captured the sauce. Good and homey. Nothing super omg different about the flavors but that pasta was superbly made.
6. Peach ice cream was probably the let down of this meal. Came buried under all the whipped cream. The ice cream was good (don't get me wrong) but tasted nothing like peaches. Could not really tell what the flavor was if I'm being honest haha probably more tea-ish.

Overall, The Four Horsemen is great. My type of restaurant. Would love to come back for dinner since they have a more extensive menu for that. Killer wine list. Small plates. Interesting combos. Nice place to chill with some friends and guzzle down some natty wine.

Wine SELECTION is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Wine enthusiasts dream and if you done know anything about wine well this is a great place to start. FOOD HERE is worth the long waits. Service and staff here are knowledgeable and loves the job. The customers are friendly and the vibe is great. Date night, dine with yourself because why not, catching up with friends, just come make a resy!

This is top to bottom one of the best meals I've had in NYC. The Four Horsemen is a Michelin-starred restaurant and natural wine bar co-owned by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. The menu changes frequently but the food is always amazing.

We started off with their famous yellowfin tuna, and housemade bread and butter that changed my life. The oeuf mayonaisse is a work of art, and the marble potatoes are absolutely incredible, with charred scallion, smoked trout roe, and bonito flakes. We finished strong with a juicy golden chicken covered in morel mushrooms and roasted garlic.

The prices are surprisingly good here for a Michelin-starred spot. Our bill for two people came out to $179.64 which included everything we ate here and multiple drinks.
