The Four Horsemen is one of the tough ones, and its calendar was fully booked when we last looked. That is normal here, and it is not the end of the story: most people who eat at The Four Horsemen get in on a cancellation, which can appear at any hour and usually goes within minutes. We watch Resy continuously and email you the moment one turns up, so you can stop refreshing and still be first.

How hard is it to get a table at The Four Horsemen?

The Four Horsemen is hard to book by measurement, not reputation: at the last check, 0% of its 30-day booking window had a table open for two, and SnagRes has run 74,843 calendar checks on this room to date. What frees up here is cancellations, which land at no set hour and go in minutes, so an alert beats a refresh habit.

Prime time is the hardest slice here: just 1% of the 334 open slots we have seen fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Widening to an earlier or later seating is the single biggest thing you can do.

72% of what opens up here is before 6:00 PM, so an early dinner is your best route in.

The times we see open run from 11:00 AM to 10:15 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 10:15 PM.

We have never once seen a Thursday come open, which usually means The Four Horsemen is closed then rather than simply full.

Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time.

What is the best way to book The Four Horsemen?

  1. Check what is open at The Four Horsemen right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from Resy. It shows every date in the 30-day window with its current status, so you can see at a glance whether anything is bookable before you spend time on the platform.
  2. Take the early seating. 72% of what opens at The Four Horsemen is before 6:00 PM. Asking for 7:30 filters out most of the inventory that actually exists.
  3. Set an alert instead of refreshing. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star The Four Horsemen on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Resy.

The open times recorded at The Four Horsemen run from 11:00 AM to 10:15 PM, and 10:15 PM is the slot that comes open most often. These are the times left available, not the restaurant's full service hours.
What is the best party size to book The Four Horsemen?
Two and four book about equally at The Four Horsemen in our data, 0% of the window open for two against 3% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
Is The Four Horsemen open on Thursday?
We have never recorded an open table at The Four Horsemen on a Thursday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
What time do The Four Horsemen reservations open?
The Four Horsemen releases reservations 29 days ahead, at 7:00 AM. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes also watches continuously, so cancellations arriving off-schedule are caught the same as scheduled drops.
How far ahead does The Four Horsemen release tables?
The Four Horsemen releases reservations 29 days ahead, at 7:00 AM. A new date appears at the far edge of that window each cycle, and cancellations can surface at any point in between.
Which booking platform does The Four Horsemen use?
The Four Horsemen takes reservations on Resy. Resy restaurants usually work on a rolling window: one new day appears at the far edge of the calendar each night, and cancellations return tables at no fixed time. SnagRes watches Resy for The Four Horsemen continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Why is it so hard to get into The Four Horsemen?
Only 0% of The Four Horsemen's 30-day booking window was bookable for two at the last check, and just 1% of the slots that open fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. Most tables here surface as cancellations rather than fresh releases, which is why watching continuously beats refreshing at a fixed hour.
Can you walk in at The Four Horsemen?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar count. With only 0% of the booking window open at the last check, The Four Horsemen is not a dependable walk-in, and a reservation is the surer route. Some rooms keep a few bar or counter seats for walk-ins, so it is worth calling The Four Horsemen to confirm; otherwise star it and let an alert catch a cancellation.
Is using a reservation alert legal?
Yes. SnagRes only notifies you when a table opens; the booking itself is an ordinary reservation you make yourself on Resy, under your own name. It does not resell tables, run bots to hold them, or automate the booking, so it does not cross the lines a resale or auto-booking service does.
Does SnagRes book The Four Horsemen for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at The Four Horsemen and links you straight to Resy with the date prefilled, then you complete the reservation yourself. It never logs into your account and never books on your behalf, which is what keeps your account in good standing.
