"In Brooklyn, this restaurant with an exceptional wine list preserved its star." - Melissa McCart

"I regard Four Horsemen as Brooklyn’s benchmark wine bar: the seasonal menu from chef Jason Curtola, playlists curated by James Murphy, and an ever-rotating, 750-plus-bottle wine list — long championing natural, biodynamic, organic, and low-intervention wines — make it a gold standard, with a mix of forward-thinking bottles and some more traditional vintages." - Oset Babür-Winter, CNT Editors

"Noted as one of New York’s non-tasting-menu spots that made the list, Four Horsemen is an example of the casual, lower-price-point restaurants recognized by voters." - Matthew Kang

"One of America’s most beloved wine bars, co-founded by LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, feels convivial, casual, and welcoming despite earning a Michelin star and a James Beard award. Longtime chef Nick Curtola has been instrumental in shaping its dynamic, always-enticing food menu — which is as renowned as its impeccably curated selection of natural wines — and he even co-authored the restaurant’s cookbook under the tagline “food + wine for good times.” Curtola brings a dinner-party mentality to service: this was on display at an intimate Eater event that featured Santa Barbara uni with golden rice, Iberico pork collar with sungold tomatoes and Thai basil, and a passionfruit tart with fennel pollen, all paired with philosophically minded wines from Loire Valley chenin blanc to Santòn vermouth." - Hilary Pollack

"A Brooklyn wine bar co-founded by James Murphy that embraced natural wine early and paired it with deceptively simple, produce-forward small plates—celery salad with dates, ricotta toast, and Sungold tomato pasta—helping redefine neighborhood wine lists and popularizing natural wine and bright small plates across the country (noting that wine director Justin Chearno died in 2024)." - Eater Staff
