Park City restaurateurs Adam and Meisha Ross bring their passion for togetherness from kitchen to community

PARK CITY, Utah — Adam and Meisha Ross, a dynamic husband-and-wife duo, have become a celebrated presence in Park City’s culinary scene. Their journey as restaurant owners began in 2017 when they opened Twisted Fern, their first restaurant.

Adam and Meisha’s Beginning
From the beginning, the couple felt an overwhelming sense of support from the local community—a connection that fueled their decision to open a second restaurant, Loma, earlier this year on Lower Main.

At the core of their success lies the principle of “togetherness.” This value has been the driving force behind both restaurants, shaping local culture and making them community hotspots.

The Power of Togetherness
Community and respect are more than just buzzwords—they are the foundation upon which their businesses are built. Adam notes, “If you have a core group working together, your customers can feel that, and they will become a part of that core group.”

This sense of unity extends beyond just the customers. The couple prioritizes supporting their team—both front- and back-of-house staff—creating a positive work environment where everyone thrives. Adam believes that when employees feel valued, the impact is felt by customers, resulting in a memorable dining experience.

Collaborating with Local Producers
In addition to fostering a supportive environment for their staff and customers, Adam emphasizes the importance of local collaborations. From B2B partnerships with other restaurants and sourcing ingredients from nearby fish barns, ranches, and farmers in Oakley and Heber, the teams at Twisted Fern and Loma are committed to local sourcing—supporting regional producers and reinforcing the values of community and togetherness that Adam and Meisha believe in.

Mountainkind in Action
Meisha often reflects on the early days of Twisted Fern, when she and Adam were a young family just starting out. They recall how the community rallied around them with unwavering support—a kindness that has continued throughout the years.

Today, with two thriving restaurants and two children, the couple still feels the strong sense of “Mountainkind” that Summit County residents consistently offer. Meisha explains, “I’m not sure we would have had the success that we’ve had if it wasn’t for a community where Mountainkind is tried and true, like Park City.”
