The food here was amazing. The staff even better. The chef was very fun and crack jokes with me and the other patrons. This is an amazing intimate and social dinner where everyone tries each course and can talk about the flavors. Chef also talk about his inspiration for each item which enhances the meaning of each bite. Definitly worth going for an occasion just not everyday... unless you got money to spend

I had a fantastic time at dinner with my buddy! The staff was incredibly accommodating, super nice, and really informative. It was so nice to just sit back, relax, and soak in the ambiance. I also loved the people around us. One of the best parts about this place was that it wasn’t overcrowded at all. Perfect food for a even perfect night. #TheCookery

Excellent experience for our anniversary dinner from chef James and our waiter Luis. Every dish was meticulously prepared, and attentive service as well. Thanks for making it a special evening, and we hope to return in the future!

I really wanted to love this place, but I left extremely disappointed. FOUR presents itself as high end fine dining with a tasting menu at a hefty price point, but the experience fell far short of expectations.
The most glaring letdown was the A5 Wagyu. This is supposed to be the pinnacle of beef; rich, decadent, and melt in your mouth when prepared correctly. Instead, what I was served was almost entirely fat with no balance of texture or flavor. It felt more like an afterthought than the showcase item it should have been. For a restaurant charging these prices, that’s inexcusable.
The rest of the tasting leaned heavily on finger foods. That’s not necessarily bad, but for a restaurant striving for refined presentation, the absence of something as simple as hand wipes was baffling. Eating with your hands is fine, but guests shouldn’t be left looking for a way to clean up between courses.
I came in with high hopes as a passionate foodie, but the gap between the concept and the execution here is enormous. For the money, there are far better fine dining experiences on Long Island and in the city.

My wife and I were there on a Wednesday for the dining series. It was Tacos and Tequila. The food was excellent and the service was great. We would go again depending on what the menu was.

Chef Counter seating while Chef James prepares a wonderful Peruvian inspired meal. Creative and innovative meal. Excellent wine selection and great service as usual.

It was spectacular from the greating “Welcome!” To the greating “Have a good night”. Food is out of this world. Ambiance intimate. Service is top notch. Just magnificent. Bravo to all!!!!

We were genuinely excited to dine at 4 for our anniversary dinner. The space was beautiful, and we had heard glowing things about the food. Sadly, what should have been a celebratory evening turned into a rushed and impersonal experience that left us disappointed. We had a 5:30 PM seating and were surprised to find ourselves back on the street by 6:15 PM when we thought it would be at least 90 minutes. The entire tasting menu completed in just 45 minutes. Each course was cleared the moment we put our forks down, and the next dish arrived seconds later. There was no pacing, no pause to savor the experience, and no meaningful conversation about the menu, ingredients, or concept. In other tasting menus we've enjoyed, the story behind each dish is just as memorable as the dish itself but here, it felt transactional. At one point, I was still enjoying my cocktail and hadn't touched the next course, which had been set down only two minutes prior. Our server leaned in and asked if I was going to “skip this one” ...a question that felt both awkward and pressure-filled. To make matters more confusing, we were the only guests in the room at the time. There was no reason for the rush. While the food itself was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, it wasn't enough to justify the steep price tag...especially without the hospitality or rhythm that makes a tasting menu worth the splurge. Frankly, we've had far more fulfilling experiences (for less money) at iconic spots like Daniel, where service is both artful and unhurried. They did give us a glass of champagne to commemorate our anniversary but I wish the experience was less rushed. We won't be returning

Hands down the best dining experience we have ever had! Expensive but so worth it! You get what you pay for! The food was like nothing we have ever had. The service was fantastic and the decor of this intimate restaurant was perfect. We will definitely be back!
Wonderfully curated selection of Japanese yakitori. Generous portions and the service through the multi course dinner moved quickly. Chef Jesse was omnipresent.

Dinner at Four was nothing short of exceptional. We had the privilege of sitting at the Chef's Table, and from the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in for a truly memorable evening. The attention to detail, both in presentation and flavor, was masterful—each course thoughtfully curated and flawlessly executed. The wine pairings elevated every bite, striking the perfect balance and enhancing the entire culinary journey. What truly set the evening apart, however, was the personal touch from the team. The chef came out between courses to share the inspiration behind the dishes, offering a rare and appreciated window into his creative process. His passion and pride were unmistakable and reflected in every plate. Our waiter was equally impressive—gracious, attentive, and genuinely warm. He helped create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, perfectly suited to the occasion. This dinner was to celebrate my fiancée's birthday, and the team went above and beyond to make her feel special. From the personalized touches to the celebratory dessert, it was a night we will never forget. High praise to everyone at Four—you've created something truly remarkable.

Frequent Four and every time I go and their sister restaurant, the food is always on point.

Food is imaginative and well presented. Entire environment is conducive to an excellent experience. It is very expensive so you can't go often.

Don't order the caviar supplement for $150 per person. Total bill was over $1,000 for two people
