Since its opening on New Year’s Eve, 1987, The Riverhorse has been highly regarded by both restaurant critics and the dining public. In 1995, the Riverhorse became the first restaurant in Utah to receive the DiRoNA Award. This very prestigious honor, dedicated to “excellence in dining”, was bestowed that year on only 223 restaurants from throughout all of North America. The Riverhorse has maintained this distinguished honor each year since.
