Seth Adams
CO-OWNER AND EXECUTIVE CHEF
RIVERHORSE ON MAIN
Best described as “an eclectic American restaurant,” Riverhorse On Main, Park City's premier dining spot since 1987, boasts an inventive genius in the kitchen and touts a long list of dining award accolades. The kitchen is home for Seth Adams, executive chef and co-owner of one of Park City's most beloved eateries, and he spends a good portion of his evenings in the dining room, getting to know his guests and listening to what they have to say.
Since opening New Year's Eve 1987, Riverhorse on Main has been regarded by restaurant critics and the dining public alike as one of North America's top culinary destinations.
In January 2000, Riverhorse on Main received the ultimate honor in the hospitality industry as the state's first establishment awarded the Mobil Travel Guide Four-Star Rating as one of the top 108 restaurants in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Now known as Forbes Travel Guide Rating, Riverhorse has been awarded its Four-Star Rating consistently through 2013.
The Forbes Travel Guide rating has served as the benchmark for excellence in dining for more than 50 years.
In 1995, the Riverhorse became Utah's first restaurant to receive the prestigious DiRōNA Award, dedicated to “excellence in dining,” and it has received the honor every year since. It is also a time-honored AAA Four Diamond award winner.
It was summer and weekend catering jobs that led Chef Adams, a Pittsburgh native, to culinary school and it was skiing that cemented him to Utah. After banquet chef, sous chef and executive sous chef positions at restaurants, such as Deer Valley's Snow Park Lodge, Morton's Steak House and American Skiing Corporation's Grand Summit at Canyons, Chef Adams was hired as executive chef at Riverhorse On Main in 2004. Adams and a partner then bought the popular Main Street eatery in July 2011 and transformed the atmosphere to the trendy, urban setting it is today.
“I love what I do. I love the people and I love cooking simple foods in ways that taste good and looks good. It's what I would want to eat,” says Adams.
Adams keeps his guests happy by maintaining consistency in offering long-standing, crowd-pleasing favorites, such as Macadamia Nut-Crusted Halibut and the Trio of Wild Game: buffalo, venison and elk, but also expressing his sense of creativity and experimenting with flavors and ingredients reflecting the season and his own inspiration. The chef's passion is all about creation and its a proven recipe for success.
