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.

    Wonderful evening and food. Love the walleye and my wife was very pleased with her Steak Bowl. Can’t forget the great peppermint chocolate cheesecake. Excellent service from our waitress Kellen.
