I'm proud that our menu, ambiance, and, of course, the food itself translated so well among the 500 criteria points used to qualify for the distinction.”

Forbes highlights Riverhorse On Main's rustic yet modern atmosphere, spectacular location and its menu's subtle versatility and array of meal options, such as crispy duck salad, macadamia-crusted halibut, grilled lobster tail and charred rack of lamb. The restaurant's massive wine list, that changes seasonally, also plays an integral role in Riverhorse On Main's highly regarded award standing.
Forbes has stated, “With the trendy, urban vibe at the Riverhorse On Main, you may forget you're in Park City, Utah. … This hotspot features dishes like bacon-wrapped shrimp, chardonnay-poached scallops and lobster tail, and a trio of wild game, which includes North American buffalo, elk and venison chop.

Since 1958, Forbes' professional inspectors have traveled the world to find the finest hotels, restaurants and spas, spotlighting each property's best attributes through its Five-Star, Four-Star and Recommended ratings.
