  • Truly the best meal I've had in the city in the year and a half I've lived here (don't come at me).

  • I had a subpar “risotto” (basmati rice? Explain yourselves… no really, I want to understand), some perfectly fine but wildly overpriced deviled eggs, and a beet-and-cheese salad that tasted like it was assembled by my Midwestern aunt who treats canned vegetables as a personality trait.

  • I find the ‘cramped’ vibe described by others to be intimate and love that it’s bustling so that your conversations feel private and there’s a lively thrum to the place; it’s my ideal of a romantic dinner.

  • 4h lives up to its hype!! the scallop comes cut in a bunch of small pieces, but the daikon and kombu with the sauce was a 💯 combo… the pasta was perfectly cooked and had a ridiculous amount of pine nuts and parmargiano on top + the trout was so tender, paired with the savory leeks 🫨

  • replying to u/WhiteVanNoWindows: I worked for them and helped open the bar/club next door. I’ve worked for ALOT of high end bars and Michelin restaurants in nyc and the team behind four horseman and daymoves/nightmoves are generally good people. They care about and more importantly take care of their staff with genuine compassion. James, his wife and kid live right upstairs and really sweet. Everyone in the hospitality world always likes to throw the word family around alot but they were the only people I truly felt it from. Plus their taste in wine is fucking EXCELLENT.

    It really does feel like they give a shit in an uncommonly positive way.

  • I’d love this place for an anniversary. Very dim, intimate, and sexy interior and all the food is meant to share which I find to be romantic- plus the rotating menu adds a cool ‘fun’ element.

  • replying to u/Krynken: You think I’m an amateur? Ha! Winky wink. Can’t comment any further on that but I am definitely not directly in the Industry. A few other folks commenting here seem to share my sentiment on FH, appears to be gaining critical mass. I would very much like to be proven wrong and have the experience that you are describing to me. I did enjoy their wine list, but the bartender was extremely unhelpful in helping me navigate it and I didn’t know what I was looking at until I got home and did my own research. If you know the way, please share. Is there a specific night that you think is better to go? How long ago was your last visit? Resy or walk-in? Can you remember if the risotto was basmati or the Japanese rice someone else commented about? I have a photo of the menu but it’s lost in the annals of my iCloud. As for review-style, I’m equally bored by dry, bland reviews. I wish people would have stronger opinions and use some mustard in their writing. To each his own indeed :)

    Four Horsemen I go to when I want to try something new and surprising and for the wonderful atmosphere, I’ve never had nothing but great attentive service there and yeah it’s overcrowded but it feels good, good music, people, art on the walls.

  • 8.5/10 - A lovely date vibe, servers were so friendly and gave great recommendations. They were apologetic that service was slow but we were delighted to not feel rushed.
