Spectacular Mazatzal Wilderness views blend beautifully with the contemporary design and welcoming atmosphere of Needle Rock Kitchen & Tap. At the centerpiece stands a wood-fired grill where our freshly prepared artisan pizzas are crisped to perfection above a natural flame.

Our new, chef inspired menu features seasonal favorites with a regional flare, from hearty salads to grilled prime cuts all perfectly paired with local brews, hand crafted cocktails or your favorite bottle of wine.

    Very busy on a Friday night. We had booked outdoors and were given a table with a great view. We were pleased to be welcomed by the manager upon arrival and we promptly shown to our table. Despite the busy night, our server was truly attentive and helpful. Two of us had steak entrees that were tasty and tender. One of our party had significant food allergies and restrictions and the chef was able to accommodate. We had a beautiful meal and view and time to catch-up with friends. Thanks!

    Beautiful evening, a heater was put in place outside, perfect setting, excellent service from Danette! Drinks came in a timely manner. Our meals took a little longer than expected, but overall, wonderful experience.
