Dining

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 oven 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 freshly-prepared salads to grilled prime cuts, all perfectly paired with local brews, hand crafted cocktails or your favorite bottle of wine.
