The Four Horsemen books on Resy only and publishes no release rule. By our measurement its calendar reaches about 29 days ahead, one fresh date a day. At our last check a table for two was open on 0% of the next 30 dates, though 24% opened at some point, so let an alert text you the moment a cancellation opens.
Through Resy, either at the far end of the window as a new date opens or by catching a later cancellation. The new date is a narrow shot because it goes in seconds, so most diners get their reservation from a freed seat that surfaces at a random hour. Asking for lunch or a late seat improves your odds far more than persistence does.
Yes, and only Resy. There is no separate phone line or second platform hosting its tables, so Resy is where new dates open and where cancellations reappear. We have recorded 292 release events on its Resy calendar.
Yes, it is one of the hardest tables in New York. In the current 30-day window a party of two found a table on 0% of dates, and across the whole record 2,581 of 622,379 checks found any bookable table. That does not mean it never seats anyone, only that a table almost never stays open long enough to be found.
Mostly lunch. Of 3,904 open slots we have recorded, 66% were before 6 PM and the single most frequently open time is 11:15 AM. Slots between 7:00 and 8:30 PM are 2% of the total.
The Four Horsemen sits in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and takes reservations only through Resy. Watch the far end of its window, or watch for a cancellation. For context, the other Williamsburg rooms we track are far easier: Laser Wolf showed an open date on 70% of dates and Lilia on 63%, against 0% here.
Slightly, on the evidence we have. In the current window a party of four found a table on 0% of dates, while a party of two found 0%. The sample is small, but it matches the pattern at other hard rooms: the tables that survive the first minute of a release are often the sizes fewer people are asking for.
No. SnagRes watches The Four Horsemen on Resy and alerts you by email or text the moment a table opens. You book it yourself in your own Resy account at the restaurant's own price. We never hold a table under another name, never charge a fee per reservation, and never resell one.

Yes, and we can put a number on it. Across 622,379 checks of The Four Horsemen calendar, 2,581 of them found any bookable table for two at all, about 0%. In the current 30-day window a party of two found a table on 0% of dates, which is the figure at the top of this page.
A score that low does not mean the restaurant never seats anyone. It means a released table almost never sits open long enough for an ordinary person to find it and book it. Over the whole window 24% of dates opened at some point, which tells you tables do come back; they just do not stay. The room is small, it holds a Michelin star, and its natural wine list draws people from well outside Williamsburg, so the number of people trying for each new date is far larger than the number of seats behind the button.
One thing worth knowing before you give up: a four-top has done slightly better than a two-top. In the same window a party of four found a table on 0% of dates, 0 of them, against 0% for two. The sample is small, but it points the same way our data points at other hard rooms. Asking for the table everyone else is asking for is the hardest version of the request.
Open dates for two in the current 30-day window: 0%.
Checks that found any table, over the whole record: 2,581 of 622,379.
Dates that opened at some point: 24%.
The Four Horsemen books on Resy and nowhere else, so there is no phone line and no second platform holding a separate block. The restaurant publishes no release rule: its Resy listing and its own site name no window and no hour. Our own record shows a rolling calendar reaching about 29 days ahead, with one fresh date joining the far end each day.
We have recorded 292 release events here across 56 days of observation, so the calendar is watched closely rather than guessed at. A 7 AM drop time circulates online, but nothing the restaurant publishes supports it and our own record does not show new dates arriving then, so we do not repeat it.
Being on time would not make it beatable anyway. Far more people want a table than there are tables, so the far edge of the calendar empties quickly whenever it moves. The new date is still the moment with the most inventory in it, and if you intend to compete you compete then.
Release: no rule published by the restaurant; by our measurement the window reaches about 29 days ahead.
Booking window: about a month, so the furthest date offered is four weeks out.
Release events observed by SnagRes: 292.
Lunch. Of the 3,904 open slots we have recorded at The Four Horsemen, 66% were before 6 PM, and the single most frequently open time is 11:15 AM. The rest sit late: 31% were at 9 PM or later, running to 10:15 PM, the latest time we have seen offered.
The middle of the evening effectively does not exist. Slots between 7:00 and 8:30 PM account for 2% of everything we have seen open. If your plan is dinner at eight on a chosen night, you are chasing the rarest thing on this calendar, and no amount of tapping refresh changes that arithmetic.
This is the practical shape of the restaurant that no coverage-first service can describe. It is not simply hard. It is a room where an early lunch or a late glass of wine is far more available than a prime-time dinner, and knowing which one you are asking for tells you whether to plan for the release, plan for a cancellation, or plan for a weekday lunch.
Before 6 PM: 66% of recorded open slots.
7:00 PM to 8:30 PM: 2% of all open slots.
Earliest time ever seen open: 11:00 AM. Latest: 10:15 PM.
Friday has produced the most: 1,048 of 88,716 Friday checks found a table. Every other night sits lower, from 443 on Sunday to 78 on Wednesday, on samples of similar size. Read those as the difference between very rare and slightly less rare, not as a soft night waiting to be found.
The wider lesson is that flexibility on the night buys you very little at this particular restaurant, which is unusual. At most rooms we track, moving from Friday to a weeknight moves your odds substantially. Here every night is scarce, so the flexibility that pays is flexibility on the hour.
Friday: 1,048 of 88,716 checks found a table, 1%.
Saturday: 365. Sunday: 443. Monday: 314.
Tuesday: 154. Wednesday: 78. Thursday: 179.
There are two realistic paths. The first is to look at the far end of the window, about 29 days ahead of the date you want by our measurement, with Resy open, your party size selected, and your payment details already saved so nothing slows you down. This is a real shot and a narrow one. Ask for a lunch or a late seat and the shot widens considerably.
The second path, and the one most diners actually use, is catching a cancellation. Because the release rarely leaves a bookable slot standing, the openings a real person can grab are the ones other guests give back. Those do not arrive on a clock. They surface at random hours as plans change and parties shrink, and they cluster in the days before a date, since a month is a long time to hold a Friday night in Williamsburg.
What does not work is manual persistence. A calendar that returns a table on 0% of checks is not a calendar you can out-refresh, and the seat that does appear is usually gone within minutes. Either be at the release, or have something watching for you between releases.
Check the far end of the window, about 29 days ahead of the date you want, with Resy open and your party size ready.
Save your payment details in Resy in advance, since the drop is gone in seconds.
Ask for lunch or a late seat if you can. 66% of everything that opens is before 6 PM.
Do not build a plan around 8:00 PM on a fixed night. That band is 2% of all open slots.
Try four rather than two if your group is flexible: the four-top rate is 0% against 0%.
Watch the days just before your target date, when guests who booked weeks ago start dropping out.
Missing the new date is the normal outcome, not a failure. With a table for two open on 0% of dates in the current window, almost everyone who eats here either caught a date as it opened or took a seat someone else gave back. The move after a miss is to stop refreshing and start watching, because that is where the catchable tables are.
SnagRes watches The Four Horsemen on Resy around the clock and emails or texts you the moment a table opens, including cancellations that surface long after a new date has emptied. You pick the dates and party size you care about, and the alert does the waiting that no person can keep up for days. Then you book it yourself on Resy.
We do not book the table, hold it, or resell it. That distinction matters more in this category than it sounds: some services charge a fee for every reservation they secure, and others sell tables outright, which is the practice New York's 2024 reservation law was written to stop. An alert leaves the booking in your hands and the price at the restaurant's.
Williamsburg is not a hard neighbourhood. The Four Horsemen is a hard room, and the other Williamsburg restaurants we track make that obvious. Sushi Hayashi Williamsburg showed a bookable table for two on 100% of dates in the window, Laser Wolf on 70%, Lilia on 63%, I Cavallini on 3%, and The Four Horsemen on 0%.
If the point of the evening is dinner in Williamsburg, the neighbourhood will feed you tonight. If the point is this particular room and this particular wine list, then you are not shopping for a restaurant, you are waiting for one specific calendar, and it makes sense to set the alarm and the alert and get on with your week.
It is also worth noticing where the other hard rooms in this cluster sit. Le Veau d'Or releases 14 days ahead at 9 AM and opens on 3% of dates. The Corner Store has shown a table on 0% of dates in our record. Different rooms fail in different ways, and the failure mode is what tells you which tactic to use.
Sushi Hayashi Williamsburg: 100% of dates open for two.
The Four Horsemen: 0%, and 0% of all checks ever.
Every figure here is a count of something we watched happen on Resy: 622,379 date checks, 2,581 of which found a table, 3,904 individual open slots, and 292 release events. The 0% is a reading of the current 30-day window at the last check, so it moves with the calendar, while the per-check rates cover the whole record and move slowly.
This is only possible because the list is deliberately short. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between them. A directory of tens of thousands of restaurants cannot tell you that most of what opens at one Williamsburg wine bar is lunch, because nothing in it is watching that closely.
So the trade is explicit. We will not be the service that covers every restaurant in your city. We intend to be the one that actually knows what these calendars do, and on the rooms in this cluster that knowledge is the only thing that changes your odds.

The Four Horsemen releases reservations 29 days ahead, and its calendar runs about 30 days deep in our checks. At the last check a table for two was bookable on 0% of the dates in that window, so the release itself is the one real chance, and the rest come back as cancellations.
