The Needles food is overpriced garbage but I guess when you're a ski resort you can charge $20 for a plate of chips with 3 ingredients and call it "nachos"Thinking that the food here is 5 stars that says a lot more about your taste in food than you want it to.

Stay away from the pastor tacos. Most places that serve pastor i would at least thing are decent. If they are generic its just chicken and beef. So i was excited to try it. Its giant hunks of pork and had absolutely no flavor. Probably zero adobo that it sat in overnight (legit what makes pastor....pastor), just plain cooked pork. Definitely not pork shoulder slow cooked on a spit and shaved in thin slices. That plus the adobo to add mexican spices are what pastor even is at the very least! The corn tortillas tasted like store bought ones, which is a fine vessel if whats in it is good, but this was not. I chose the "spicy" salsa, and i wouldnt even classify it as medium, plus it too was lacking seasoning. Salsa needs salt. ALL salsas need salt! Its not even expensive! Even if its a sweet salsa, the rest of the ingredients need salt and the sweetness adds another layer. It tasted like just vegetable pulp without any seasoning at all. Not even exaggerating, the best part of the tacos were the white onions. Even the cilantro was wilted. It also comes served with a tiny portion of completely tasteless white rice (not even butter?), and completely bland black beans. Again a refusal to use any seasoning. Onion powder amd garlic powder go a long way. I dumped Cholula in the tacos to make them somewhat palatable. For $30 its a jokeWe also got the loaded fries, and those tasted good. No complaints with those.

I got the Basin Burger. It was good. I’ve had better burgers at other restaurants for half the price. I’ll probably stick to my homemade PB&J in the future.

Absolutely ridiculous that I pay thousands of dollars a year to ski and the lodge puts signs on the table that I can’t eat food I bring or even sit down.

Great ambience. The sidebar has a great mountainside view with large windows.You do have to take the gondola up there. But if you're not skiing or mountain biking, you can take the gondola back down. They do during the summer they do brunch, you must have a reservation to ride the gondola for free

A beautiful site but our dining experience left a lot to be desired. We saw a moose on the way up and trees were just beginning to change. Our reservation time was 2:15 with last time of 2:30. Yes, we got enough to eat but it wasn’t necessarily what we wanted as much of the selections were either gone and not replaced or dried out and cold (all of the meats except the prime.) Since I can’t eat prime, I settled for an omelette. The young man behind this station didn’t know that you cook in the onions, cheese, etc. and not just pile them raw on top of the finished omelette! I had a pretty good waffle but it was taken from a bag and not made fresh in front of me. Many of the desserts were missing as well so our selection was lacking. If it wasn’t for the beautiful setting I would rate this as a 1-2. Definitely not worth the hefty price! I imagine this would have been a great experience for an earlier reservation time but that wasn’t our experience.They were also closing umbrellas and taking apart the patio while we were still eating! Definitely took away from the ambiance!
