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.

    The food was good, the ambiance was great. I would not get a late reservation next time. 7:45 is too late since the restaurant closes at nine and the wait staff is getting ready to leave by 8:30. So if I want kick back enjoy my meal and have conversation an earlier reservation is the way to go. Otherwise, it a great restaurant, very cozy, nice atmosphere.

    Many options on the menu for a variety of tastes. Wife had the shrimp scampi which was excellent. I had the walleye. Very tasty but the fish portion on the small side. Butter cake for dessert is excellent. Great views during the daytime. Service was very good. Attentive but not overbearing.

    Love this place. However, French toast was burned and eggs were runny. The French toast should have never been served. Service was great with Stephen though.
