Really great food, amazing view and atmosphere.
The shrimp queso and meatballs are very very good.
Millionaire burger is also amazing.
Happy hour after 2pm features a set of $10 appetizers and cheaper drinks.
Great service. We were even given a fan to scare away flies.
There’s something on the menu for everyone (kids, healthy, vegetarian, etc.)

Thank you. Needle Rock for the numerous, new, healthy dishes on your menu! We tried five of the new dishes and loved every single one of them! It's nice to have so many healthy options that are so tasty and appealing. Welcome to the new chef! We are glad you are here!

Well, it was our 1st time there. Wanted to see the hones, anenities, experience the area and decide if we wanted to bring some friends there the upcoming weekend for a Gathering!
Great atmosphere with views. Food ok. Very slow service. Ceasar Salad was dry, sprinkles of parmesan, but no dressing to taste. Avoid ! Get the wedge salad. Pizza delicious. Note: One pizza is big enough for 2. When we asked server, we were told the pizza was small personal size. It is at least 10 inches!
Ambience would have been better if we weren't surrounded by loud kids. If we return, we will sit on the outside dining side, not on the outer bar side. While Trilogy is private membership, the restaurant is also open to the public. So, there you go...

Second time eating here. Service was just as professional and attentive as the first time. Enjoyed the atmosphere to catch up with relatives.

Inconsistent with their service. We can have a normal lunch or dinner...or sometimes service is so long that it becomes 3 hrs with a whole lot of food mess ups.

Wish they kept their last menu with the stetson chopped and the protein entree with picking the sides and sauce.

A very nice view restaurant, so be sure to arrive before sunset. Staff was accommodation for table selection. Good menu selection. Food was fresh & well prepared, plates included a good amount of vegetables along with the main protein. Steven was our waiter, always pleasant & smiling. We always bring out of town guests here, & it never disappoints. Only wish their dessert menu included a chocolate item.

Visited for happy hour as a non-member. The gate attendant was very friendly and welcoming. We sat at the bar and had a drink and an app. Very good value for the price for happy hour! Views were beautiful. Service was friendly and expedient.
