Disney Villain Bachelorette Dinner at Napa Rose! Napa Rose has always been one of my favorite places at Disneyland when I want Disney dining to feel like an experience, and this summer menu absolutely delivered.The current dinner was a prix fixe menu, beginning with an amuse-bouche, followed by your choice of first course, second course, entrée, dessert, and finally a little parting nibble. Basically: come hungry and fucking savor the symphony or flavors. I started with the Seared Hiramasa, paired with strawberry and Meyer lemon. Light, bright, and such a beautiful way to start the meal. I could have easily kept eating this. For my second course, I had the Diver Scallop with kombu broth and shiso. It was essentially Napa Rose's refined take on Korean rice porridge, super warm, savory, comforting, and described perfectly by our server as a "warm hug from the kitchen." A few people at our table ordered the Orvia Duck Breast with pecan butter and yellow peaches, which looked absolutely gorgeous. The peaches come from Matsumoto Farms, sixth-generation Japanese American farmers, and Napa Rose uses them in multiple places throughout the menu. Hell yeah! For my entrée, I had the Prime Eye of the Rib-eye with Hatch chiles and roasted corn. The beef is prepared with a smoky Santa Maria-style dry rub, and naturally I let the chef do what needed to be done and ordered it medium rare as it should be. Because I'm not a monster. Then came dessert. I had the Matsumoto Farms Peach dessert with buttermilk semifreddo, lemon pound cake, and local raspberries, while others at the table tried the Valrhona Chocolate Bar with hazelnut praline. The peach dessert was a pure California summer on a plate; taking me back to home to the Central Valley where there are many peach orchards. This is what I love about Napa Rose when it's at its best: the food is unmistakably fine dining, but it never feels stuffy. There's thought behind the sourcing, technique, cultural influences, seasonality, and storytelling...which I think Disney has always nailed consistently in their fine dining area. read more

Napa Rose Summer Tasting - Date Night Perfection Came here for a date night to try their summer tasting menu, and from start to finish the entire experience was incredible. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but the food, presentation, and service easily earned every bit of five stars. Our hostess, servers, and waiters were outstanding--knowledgeous, attentive, and genuinely helpful when it came to pairing courses and drinks. Special shout-out to our waiter Mickey (yes, that's his real name... and no, he's not a mouse ). He made the whole night even better. We kicked things off with the optional Caviar Pillow (caviar over creamy mashed potato). Savory, luxurious, and well worth the extra charge if you want to start on a high note. The real official beginning was the Amuse Bouche, which perfectly cleansed and prepped our palates for everything that followed. First courseMy fiancé had the Wild Blue Shrimp with avocado, aguachile, and cilantro--think elevated, brighter, more refined take on ceviche (don't expect a traditional one). I went with the Fried Burnt Quail in spicy gochujang sauce with black radish. It reminded me of excellent Korean fried chicken wings--crispy, spicy, and addictive. Second courseShe ordered the Diver Scallop in juk with shiso and kombu broth. A touch on the salty side, but still really delicious. I had the Orvia Duck Breast with yellow peaches in pecan butter. The duck was cooked to absolute perfection and the peach-pecan sauce was a fantastic match. Third course (mains)She chose the Prime Eye of the Rib-eye with charred onion soubise. The steak itself was excellent; she just preferred the sauce on the side. I had the Grilled Pork Loin & Pork Belly with red rice and Jamaican mango curry. The loin was great and the pork belly was tasty too--though there were only a couple of pieces of belly, which left me wanting a little more. DessertShe got the Masumoto Farms Peach Buttermilk Semifreddo on lemon pound cake with local raspberries. I ordered the Elevated and Reminiscent Valrhona Chocolate Bar with hazelnut praline. Both were outstanding--we kept stealing bites of each other's and still wanted more. Overall we loved every part of the meal. The presentation was beautiful, the flavors were thoughtful, and the service elevated the whole night. Keep in mind the menu changes with the seasons, so what we had may not be available later. Since the remodel they also have a walk-up bar area where you don't need a reservation (slightly different, à la carte menu). Whether you're celebrating a special date night or just want a fancy dinner, we highly recommend Napa Rose. read more

Napa Rose will always be special to my wife and me. Last night we were able to sit at the same table where we dined the night I proposed to my wife. It also happened to be our 20th wedding anniversary. This was our first time back since before the pandemic so we were excited to experience what was new and maybe enjoy what find memories we have. Recently remodeled, the space remains nice, but a bit modernized. They added more counter seating and an outdoor area. The biggest difference was that it is now a prix fixe meal at 188 pp. You get to choose from 3 options for four courses, not including a 30$ caviar option, an included amuse bouche, and some fancy chocolates after dessert. The amuse bouche was actually amazing. It was a shot of lemon gazpacho that was citrusy, savory, and herby at the same time I'm not going over the entire menu, but you probably can't go wrong. In a few instances I had some questions about the selections and the waiter cleared them right up. For example, one of the dessert choices is a budino pudding, which my wife taught me just means pudding pudding, but the waiter told me it is very goat cheese forward. So happy I dodged that. Can't stand goat anything. My pork loin and pork belly was a stand out. So so good. Cooked perfectly and paired with a perfect mango sauce and chutney. My wife had an excellent ribeye that was also perfectly cooked and super high quality. Again, everything we had was excellent to amazing. We brought our own wine and paid the 50 dollar corkage fee. I was actually hoping the sommelier would come over and try it because I was proud of our 22 Saxum Cayucos Ridge Syrah (iykyk). Anyways the sommelier either wasn't there or not interested. The service was Disney perfect. Very friendly, informative and attentive. Our meal took about 2 hours. In fact, there was a slight mix up with our dessert, so they just let us have all three selections. The lemon sponge cake was my favorite. Shout out to the young blonde hostess at the front. She made sure we sat at our special table and walked us out of the restaurant at the end of our meal asking what our favorites were. The menu appears to be seasonal so I would love to come back to try new items. However, at nearly 300 bucks a person I can't say I'll be a regular. Is it worth the experience- absolutely. Book it. At least for me I would keep it to once a year. Lastly, the dark chocolate and lavender treat after dessert tastes like soap- good soap mind you, but a bit soapy for my ordinary palate. read more

Valet parking is included with validation from the restaurant. They are pretty quick to bring your car around at the end of the night. There is a small waiting area inside near the fireplace. Even though they have a recommended dress code, other guests we saw were in theme park attire. Out of the prix fixe menu, my favorite item I ordered was the duck offered during the 2nd course. It had crispy skin while the meat was perfectly cooked and they pour a nice sauce over it. My next favorite item was the chocolate dessert on some sort of hazelnut base. Not overly sweet at all. The dining experience is about 2 hours. Our server, Mickey, was great! He's worked for the company for 31 years! There are 2 things I would change: 1. Timing of the courses. There was a decent gap of time before the entrees were served. It was enough of a gap that Mickey apologized for the wait. 2. While the steak was delicious, I wish there was a side with it. It was basically a small chunk of meat on a plate with the tiniest onion ring. A vegetable or potato side would have completed the dish. read more

Delicious food. Great service. We were seated outside for the first time. It was really nice and serene. I felt like it was just us outside as we could not hear other people's conversations so that means they could not hear ours. I kinda prefer seating outside if the weather permits. Started off the night with Krug champagne and caviar and ended with a fig cheesecake and cognac so my night was amazing! If you like wine and want to try new things always do the wine pairings and go for at least the $300 pairing. read more

The service and ambiance are awesome. But, I was a little disappointed in the food. At that price I would expect every dish to be fantastic. I thought the pork was too fatty and lacked flavor. I have been in the past and loved it. But I'm not happy with this menu change. It is unlikely I will go again. read more

Made a second visit here in early July, and this time sat out on the newly expanded outdoor terrace. Some new items had joined the menu for summer, and I took the opportunity to try all new dishes from my previous visit just a few weeks prior. As expected, everything continued to be excellent. The Outdoor Terrace is lovely, especially by the fireplace - however, it did feel like service was slightly less attentive as only a small handful of staff were dedicated to the space on a weeknight. Regardless, everyone was still wonderful and personable, and they explained/presented each course very well. read more

Napa Rose is the Disneyland Resort's most elevated dining experience. Located in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel, the restaurant completed a top-to-bottom refresh in early 2026. The décor is more firmly vineyard-centered. Even the chandeliers recall grapes on the vine. Prix fixe is now the rule in the dining room. At this writing, the price is fixed at $188 per person for a meal including an amuse bouche, two small courses, a main, dessert, and a final sweet morsel. The amuse bouche and "last nibble" are chef's choice. You'll have three or more options for the courses in between. These change with the season. We loved everything! There is a lounge where you can order food à la carte while exploring Napa Rose's extensive wine list, which some may find daunting. It's fine to holler for help. The sommelier can guide you to a vintage that suits your meal and your taste. What did you expect from a place called "Napa Rose"? Service is incredible. From when you're greeted at the door to that last nibble, you'll be waited on by knowledgeable staff who'll help you choose and make sure you understand what you're eating. Last little touches may be added to a plate as it's served to you. And here I have to shout out to Wendy, a veteran with good humor and a liberal sprinkling of pixie dust. She made our evening. Reservations open 60 days in advance and you're not getting in without one. Use the Disneyland app or website. There is a 48-hour cancellation policy should your plans change. Yes it's really expensive, but you absolutely get what you pay for and then some. And after all, aren't you worth it? read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Portion to Price: 1/5 Overall: This was a go to before but with menu now changing to prefixe it's a bit of a price hike. I'll consider somewhere else. The extended review... Food: 3/5 - We had a 4 course meal with an amuse but I'd say that only one of the dishes really stood out. They did a really good job with the second course (Sorpresine Pasta) which was very rich but so tasty. The other dishes were pretty standard fare compared to other fine dining or mid-range establishments. Service: 5/5 - Awesome waitstaff who were very attentive. Ambiance: 5/5 - A wonderful setting and nice to have a sit down dinner to relax especially if you are taking a break from the park. Portion to Price: 1/5 - $188 a pop which is almost double what it was previously with ala carte. read more

I've always wanted to try Napa Rose - finally got the chance to do so. Not disappointed at all. Creative pre-fixed menu - priced per person plus wine pairing selections if you are a drinker. There are 3 of us - we took the 'sharing' route. Ordered one of each item to share as many possible items on the menu. Very delighted by all the dishes. Good service by professional wait staff - tending to many details when it comes to sharing food A classic steakhouse ambiance - quiet place amongst the Disney busy energy is a plus for us senior people read more

This review is for the Napa Rose Lounge. Wow! The reopening of Napa Rose has been highly anticipated but the cost for the main dining room is steep ($188 pp)! I decided to opt for the walk ins only, more relaxed vibe of the Lounge. For whatever it's worth, this did not feel like a downgrade at all. The lounge is small, but it packs a punch. The ambiance is excellent, I almost felt a little underdressed in my Disney garb not expecting it to feel so upscale. The drink menu is a dream for someone who grew up in California. Every drink is tied to a specific location in California. It felt nostalgic, warm, and personal. I chose the Fruit Stand Off Highway 1, an elevated and alcoholic take on those roadside strawberry stands. I loved it. The food was a hit as well. These were more than your average bar bites in terms of quantity and quality. I didn't expect to be quite so stuffed but the rosemary focaccia, roast beef sandwich, and laughing tiger (papaya salad with shrimp) definitely hit the spot. It's hard to choose a favorite but I still find myself thinking about that roast beef sandwich. The tillamook cheddar with the sesame baguette... mmm! Service was excellent. Friendly and attentive. We arrived around 5pm and were lucky enough to get a seat at one of the lounge tables instead of the bar which I really appreciated. I can't wait for my next visit back here! read more

Dear Future Disney-Loving Daughter-in-Law, I am currently raising your prince. He will dress up for you even though the costume itches, he's a little hot, and he's getting a lot of unexpected attention. He will open your door, pull out your chair, sip tea with his pinky up, and politely eat those tiny tea sandwiches. He'll also support you whether you want to open your own business or spend the entire day in the library chasing your dreams. Just know that chivalry is being raised over here... with a little Disney magic. Your sweet (and slightly Disney-obsessed) mother-in-law to be, Kim C. DISNEY PRINCESS BREAKFAST ADVENTURE REVIEW (before the renovation) Price: Adults and children (ages 3-9) are the same price: $149. Children receive a special gift -- they can choose between a "warrior" set (shield and sword) or a "princess" set (crown, necklace, and wand). One of my sweet kids asked where my gift was. Adults get chocolates. When he realized adults didn't get a special gift, he offered to ask for a princess set for me and trade out his gift. It brought tears to my eyes. I thanked him and reminded him that both of them coming to the event dressed up was a gift in itself and more than enough. From the moment we walked in, everything felt elevated and special. My sons were greeted by their character names -- Prince Naveen and Prince Adam (some even called him the Beast). The setting inside the Grand Californian is beautiful, and the service made the experience feel relaxed rather than rushed. The host explained the flow. Our server and the team were great at guiding us and letting us know that a new princess was available. The Food: It's a three-course breakfast with starters, a main course, and dessert. Starters The meal started with a beautiful three-tier tower of appetizers that felt very "royal." Ours included fluffy Tiana's famous beignets, banana wraps inspired by Princess Jasmine, and coconut cookies & cream chia parfaits topped with edible flowers. There were also savory tea sandwich bites that were light but flavorful. Main Course There was a breakfast buffet for the main course. The Cast Members serving the food also recognized the "princes" and greeted them. The food was plentiful and constantly refreshed. We enjoyed fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon (which disappeared fast), sausages, roasted vegetables, and the cutest Mickey-shaped waffles with syrup and powdered sugar. Everything was warm, fresh, and easy for the kids to enjoy. Desserts The dessert tower had colorful cake pops, tiny tarts, macarons, and fun sweet treats that looked like they belonged at a royal celebration. The chocolate cake pop was rich and fudgy, and the fruit dessert topped with cotton candy added a playful touch. Princess Meet and Greet: What really made the experience magical were the princess interactions. We were able to take photos with several princesses, and each one took time to talk with the kids and make them feel extra special. It didn't feel rushed at all -- they made the whole experience feel like a royal gathering. We were even able to go back and take more pictures. The princesses rotate daily, that day we saw Ariel, Aurora, Pocahontas, Tiana, and Rapunzel. Watching my little "princes" lean into the royal experience -- costume and all -- will be a memory ingrained forever for me. We have watched every Disney movie featuring the princesses who were present that day, so the kids knew the characters from their movies and even had questions ready to ask. Between the princesses, the food, and the magical atmosphere, this truly felt like stepping into a fairy tale. Thanks again to the Cast Members for creating such a magical experience. But the biggest thank you goes to my real-life prince, who grew to be King of our household, -- my husband -- who helps make dreams become reality. He booked this as a Valentine's gift, persuaded the kids to dress up, and planned a full Disney day afterward. I'm thankful they have a grew to love Disney father figure to look up to. After decades together, he's still wooing me. Girls, true love exists -- and after all these years, I'm still living my fairy tale. read more

What a BEAUTIFUL experience! We got to dine at Napa Rose not only for the first time but also since their new remodel and I am so glad we did. Immediately the atmosphere was nice and the people were very welcoming. This place is beautiful and modern but still has a bit of the rustic wine country feel. Our server, Riley, was amazing. He was attentive, friendly and extremely knowledgeable about any and everything in the restaurant. The menu was a tasting menu so you get to choose one item from each course for a set price. They also had wine pairing options. The food was absolutely phenomenal and tasted like so much time and effort was put into it. Everything was fresh and each bite was heaven. This was a fantastic way to celebrate my husband's birthday. read more

I wanted to have the same experience I had here 10 years ago but was sadly disappointed! I have been trying for years to get a reservation at this restaurant every time we would go to Disneyland, and we were so excited when we finally were able to get an outdoor table to celebrate our 7- year anniversary. When we first came, years ago, they had a variety of mixed cocktails and a menu which we could freely make our selections. Now much has changed. But let's start with the positives: 1. The restaurant was recently remodeled and has an outdoor patio area. Great place for celebrating birthdays and anniversaries at Disneyland. It doesn't even feel like you're at Disneyland, honestly, very elevated feel and look. 2. Staff were very kind from start to finish. 3. They were able to seat us 30 mins before our reservation time. 4. They provide a 5-hour validation for valet parking at the Grand California Hotel. 5. The hiramasa crudo and prime eye of the rib eye is a must try! Now, like I said, I had nothing but high expectations for this restaurant as we been here before and trying to go back for years. So the $188/pp menu we would expect nothing but the best right? But, it was just too costly for the food. I honestly didn't like more than half the plates. The scallops were in a Juk, which is like a broth mixed with rice and a very overpowering garnish I cannot pinpoint. It made the scallop soggy and I typically like my scallop nicely seared on the outside and tender inside...but this was soggy from the broth. The chili relleno was said to be the chef's mother's recipe but the lentils overpowered the dish and we hardly tasted the cheese. The steak had great flavor but came out lukewarm. The pudding pastry was overpowered by the goat cheese flavor and tasted odd. I never mind paying for a good meal but the flavors/textures just weren't there for us. I am so disappointed as we have literally been waiting years to go back, but perhaps it was an off day and maybe we'll try it again. I would prefer the non pre-set menu, though so we may just go to the bar next time. One last tip,try sitting indoors to avoid hearing all the screaming from the rides. read more

5 hour validated valet parking when dining here (Don't forget cash to tip valet). 75$ for first hour and $10 each hour after that if you go pass the 5. It was awesome being able to enter the park and skip the long entrance lines through the Grand Californian! $188 per person pre-fixe menu! The service was amazing and we were constantly being checked up on! The food was also amazing and everything was presented beautifully! Some dishes was amazing and some could have been better, but overall experience was 5 stars! (4.5 stars but I'll round up). 1. Started off with a toasted marshmallow cocktail, it was amazing, the torched marshmallow cream on top was delicious! 2. Started us off with the mushroom soup, possibly the best mushroom soup I've had, such nice creamy flavor. 3. Then for first course we tried the shrimp flutes and lobster toast. Both were delicious with a nice lemon yuzu flavor! If I had to pick one I would go with the lobster toast! 4. The second course we tried the crab pasta and the wild boar pasta. Definitely go with the crab! It was in uni butter and so good! It was like a soup. 5. For the third course/entree we tried the lamb and swordfish. Both dishes although good, didn't hit the same flavor wise, I would maybe try something else like the steak. The swordfish was juicy, but the texture was like tuna, kind of firm and meaty. I prefer more sea bass texture more tender. The crust on the lamb was pretty salty and the lamb itself was too rare for my liking. 6. The last course/dessert we tried the carrot cake cremuex and the honey apple brioche. Definitely go carrot cake! It was so good! So moist and the cremuex was perfect, so unique! Although the entrees didn't hit, the other dishes were excellent, service was top notch, we really enjoyed the whole experience! read more

I brought my wife and toddler here to celebrate her birthday. I was fortunate to snag an open reservation on Super Bowl Sunday of all days and I looked forward to dining here for the first time ever. Although the wife and I were former Disneyland annual passholders, it never crossed our minds to dine at the Napa Rose. Probably because every time we were at Disneyland/CA Adventure, we were always just looking to get on the rides at the parks and food was always a second thought. I had read an article about the restaurant's recent reopening after doing renovation so I decided to come celebrate my wife's birthday here and bring our son out to experience California Adventure for the first time ever. Since this was our first time here, we didn't have a frame of reference as to what the place looked like before the remodel. Regardless, the atmosphere was perfect for anyone wanting to celebrate a special occasion or for wanting to relax and close out a day at Disney with a wonderful meal in a beautifully appointed dining environment. Here's the rub, be prepared to pay a bit of a sum for the course menu meal. The cost is $188 per person without any drinks and I believe the dishes served change with each season. The presentation as well as the quality of the food was worth it. Also, because it's a course meal, the food is served at a slower pace so definitely take the time to enjoy the presentation and flavors of each dish. The only time the pace became an issue was at the end of the meal when we were waiting for the parting sweets and our toddler was starting to fade out and was getting a little fussy. Overall, my wife and I enjoyed the entire meal and experience and our server and wait staff made the entire dinning experience with a toddler go so smoothly. read more

Napa Rose reopened recently after being updated and we wanted to see the differences. We booked 2 seats at the Chef's Counter which has expanded seating. At $250 the tasting menu is a pretty pricey dinner but you miss the point if you think of it that way. This is an event, a show, an experience. The changes inside are subtle enough to make it look familiar from before. But the chef's counter was definitely bigger the seating and counters were lower. At the counter guests have each of the courses explained to them by a chef immediately after being served. Service is impeccable and timed like it's theater. Part of the pleasure is watching the kitchen and servers in action. Everyone moves with calm efficiency. Everything we were served was delicious and a delight for the senses. A5 Waygu, duck and caviar added luxury. If you go for the wine pairing you will get a new wine for each course. The sommelier will explain the wine and why he thinks it works with the dish. Guests at the counter generally get served the same dishes during the evening unless you have allergies or strong preferences. My wife doesn't like seafood of any type so had Waygu for 3 courses. This is a great choice for foodies who really want a an immersive experience. Hopefully Mickey will be pouring the wine when you go (not THAT Mickey) read more

The service here is impeccable. The food was hit or miss and for the price I'm shocked they didn't have bread service (not even to purchase). For dinner: First course: Hiramasa Crudo Lime Oil, Bread Crisp, Fennel Blossom: so delicious. A pleasant surprise in its preparation from the typical way it's served in Japanese restaurants Wild Blue Shrimp Avocado, Aguachile, Cilantro: good flavor but something was off with the texture. The shrimp were slightly rubbery so I suspect it was overcooked a tad. A bit disappointing Second course: Orvia Duck Breast Sunchoke, Local Cherry: very good. Not the best I've ever had but the presentation was lovely and in general no complaints. Diver Scallop Juk, Kombu Broth, Shiso: phenomenal. The only sad part of this dish is they only give you one scallop. It melts in your mouth and leaves you wanting 10 more. Third course: Colorado Rack of Lamb Koji Cured, Fava Bean, Black Garlic: very possibly the best preparation of lamb I've had. Perfectly done and the crust was just the right crispy, salty, yummy texture you need and want with tender lamb. Prime Eye of the Rib-eye Charred Onion Soubise: incredibly tender, delicious but also quite standard. Nothing to complain nor write home about. The best thing about it was the portion. I was definitely full afterwards. Dessert: Purple Haze Budino Pudding Mulberry Sorbet, Olive Oil Dust: I would highly recommend they remove this from the menu. The sponge on the bottom was a soggy mess and ruined the entire dessert. Elevated and Reminiscent Valrhona Chocolate Bar Hazelnut Praline: perfect combination of crispy, salty, sweet. This one is a keeper! Overall, a good meal but they have a ways to go if they want a star. read more

When the reopening of Napa Rose was announced, I knew this was the spot to celebrate our Valentine's Day. We celebrated a week early but it was also our first time here! The entire experience was fantastic. The interior was warmly and a perfect setting for fine dining. Everyone there was welcoming and the servers were really informative about the menu. There is only one dining menu which is their prix fixe menu at $188 per person. The dinning start off with the Beginning, Amuse Bouche. A shot of mushroom soup with a burst of flavor. It was the best mushroom soup I ever had. Then comes the First Course, Second Course, Entree, and then Dessert. All the food was exceptional and delicious. At the end, before leaving, we were served with A Parting Nibble, one piece of Chocolate or Jelly candy picked from an elegant serving box. In our case, we were the last one there and had the last reservation, we were gifted two candies each. Very kind of our server. We didn't have any wine but we did order from their Signature Cocktails Menu. On the menu, there is a neat short description of each drink. One of the best fine dining we have experienced and it is a place to come back. read more

It has been at least 12 years since we dined at the chefs counter in this restaurant, and we were so excited to try again after the remodel. The remodel is fresh and crisp, and definitely in the Disney grand style. We are chef Andrew Sutton fans we were so excited to try what the next chapter of the menu would be like in this spot. Reservations are normally full so you have to check 30 to 60 days out on the Disneyland app to get the chefs counter, it was worth the wait. 7 courses in total each one deeply delicious with exquisite flavors and wonderful texture. The cocktails are top shelf and the whiskey and bourbon selection is ginormous, way too much to list on a menu. You'll have to walk to the bar to view all the bottles. It's about $250 per person which includes five hour free complementary valet at the grand. Worth it for those special occasions. read more

I normally don't go to places with fixed menus, but because Napa Rose has a reputation for being extremely difficult to reserve, I had to try it. We went the day after May the 4th / Star Wars Nite at Disneyland, and after a full day and night of eating Star Wars-themed / park food, this elevated dining experience was a nice change. The 4-course prix fixe menu was excellent from start to finish. We ordered non-alcoholic cocktails, they call them "0 proof" drinks and every single one was delicious and thoughtfully made. They recently remodeled the restaurant, and it looked much more refined than the previous layout. Most of the overall layout stayed the same, but the updated art and small design details made it feel very Californian with a subtle touch of Disney magic. Service was paced perfectly. From seating to check, the entire experience lasted about 2 hours and we never felt rushed. The atmosphere was calm, upscale, and a great way to unwind after the Disneyland crowds. Definitely worth trying at least once if you're able to get a reservation. read more

Chef Andrew Sutton has left the building and after doing the new chef's counter last night...I can tell you the restaurant is confused to what it is supposed to be. It's still called Napa Rose, and is in the Grand Californian hotel, so one would think it features Californian inspired cuisine as it always has, but last night I got a bunch of brown food of just proteins and sauce. Produce was nowhere to be found other than a pea puree soup and maybe in a green plate schmear. It's like they've taken all of the life out of the restaurant and replaced it with tired old French food. I'm going to brag for a moment, if you count up the Michelin stars of restaurants I've eaten at, I have 31 in total from 21 different restaurants in 8 different countries. If Disney thinks they are going to get one with this menu? They have no idea what real Michelin star food is about. Every dish I was served last night, while good, and well prepared, was nothing more than you can get off any menu around Orange County. I mean tomahawk steak with a wine reduction sauce and a couple of fried potatoes on an aioli, sure, delicious. But also available at many upscale steakhouses within a 2 block radius of Disneyland. Caviar 1st course in mashed potatoes with crispy bread topping, with overcooked egg yolk? Seemed like a Joel Robuchon dish from 1980. Although you just can't overcook an egg yolk if you are going to do that dish. I will say only two minor cooking mistakes last night, 1. That egg yolk and 2. Trying to pair some kind of sweet corn cannoli filling with a blackberry didn't work at all. But that's ok, to have 2 misses in 9 courses. My main complaint was the menu itself, not in the execution of it. The chefs were very nice, the service was spot on, and the chefs did try to engage you, which hasn't happened that much once Chef Andrew stopped running the kitchen way back when on Friday night to make sure his weekly menu was being prepared correctly. That would have been the time Napa Rose would have received a Michelin star, but unfortunately they weren't doing so in Southern California at the time. Napa Rose was at its best, before they tried to hand him the rest of the park to run. So now another major problem...we are at the severe price increase for Chef's Counter. It's at 2 Star Michelin prices without the accolades. With 1 cocktail each, the bill was over $700 for just 2 of us. There are way way better and more creative chef counters to sit at around town for less than that. Maybe they need time to find their footing, but just because Napa Rose has taken all the color out of the dinning room on their renovations, doesn't mean they should also do so with the food. Or change the name of the restaurant to Expensive French Retro Mothersauce Steakhouse with good service and friendly chefs. It starts with this....Napa Rose needs to ask themselves....what are we trying to do here. Right now, based on what I tasted, there is no vision in what they want to be. And they were something once...baking their own bread, featuring the best produce in season, plating with sauce as to not cover up the beautiful looking proteins but to enhance, using balance of ingredients to offset each other, using texture as well. None of that was to be found in the meal I had last night. Just plain rich well seasoned food. read more

Got a chance to have dinner at the newly renovated restaurant. I thoroughly enjoy Napa Rose every time we've been. Service is phenomenal, very friendly and knowledgeable. Always five stars for the staff. So the spring menu is what we ordered from. The highlights were the morel mushrooms, crudo, the sustainable fish which was a sea bass, the lamb pot roast, and the vahlrona chocolate dessert. I did get the wine pairing which was phenomenally paired. I would def do that again The amuse bouche was a portobello mushroom drink that stood out for its uniqueness. The only thing that I did not find appetizing was the strawberry guava cannoli dessert. Not for my palette. Overall Napa Rose is an experience and should be visited at least once. Keep in mind the menu does change. read more

The reboot of Napa Rose was not what we expected. I enjoyed the new decor but it was really darker than I would have liked. I didn't mind that it is only a tasting menu now, but we were disappointed with the new dishes. Nothing was stand out great like the old dishes and the pacing was really bad. I don't mind a long dinner when you're still getting food regularly, but there aren't enough courses to support a 3 hour dinner. It was a really long wait in between courses. Maybe growing pans with a new menu, but it was an excruciating dinner. read more

This is a review for the chefs counter experience, which we had never tried before. The seating is interesting in that you're sitting at one of the preparation counters right by the exhibition kitchen. There are about six total seats per counter, so for our party of two we were seated with a handful of other couples. The food itself was quite good and completely different from the rest of the items available on the standard menu. A fair deal of higher end ingredients were included in the dishes on offer. (Duck, Caviar, and Wagyu were all featured at various points.) Service from Beth was very attentive, as well as the service from the chefs themselves who came out and introduced each dish. The wine list is a next level, ridiculous, absurd thing of beauty with hundreds of different options. There is something for everyone at every price point and every region that you can think of. Would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone. read more

The food was good overall--7.5/10--but not amazing. just the focaccia was a 9/10. Mickey was wonderful, and our server was friendly and accommodating. I was really excited about the cocktails based on the descriptions, but unfortunately wasn't a fan of either one. One had a strong vinegar taste. The jasmine tea non-alcoholic wine was really good, though. My biggest issue was the dessert situation. When asked if we were celebrating a special occasion, I told our server we were celebrating my friend's early birthday. When he asked if we wanted dessert, my friend said no since she doesn't like sweets, while I specifically was craving and saved room for the chocolate cake . They then brought out a small cake with ice cream and a candle, placed it in front of my friend, and wished her happy birthday. We both assumed it was a complimentary birthday treat. She took one small bite and left 90 percent of it because she didn't want dessert. I later found out that was actually the dessert I had ordered. I really wish they had clarified that, especially since it was presented as though it were a birthday treat. They could have simply asked if I wanted a candle on my dessert or explained that it was the dessert I ordered and placed it in the middle of the table. I ended up leaving without eating a single bite of the dessert I ordered despite paying for it, and my friend felt terrible because she barely ate it. It went to waste. I had to stop at Ralph's afterward for Ferrero Rocher to satisfy my craving. read more

Tried for the 1st time since they reopened. The restaurant is beautiful decorated and the service is excellent from the moment we step in. In my opinion the food is excellent, I highly recommend the orvia duck brest from the 2nd course. They also have a great selection of wine, whiskey and cocktails. This is a great restaurant to go celebrate special occasions (anniversary) or just splurge. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Value: 4.5/5 Strict 48 hour cancellation policy. Booked this reservation as a mid-week date night 2 months prior after the restaurant's extensive remodel. My husband became ill 2 days prior to our reservation. Disney would NOT allow us to cancel the reservation 36 hours out without $188/person cancellation fee, even with a medical note. I brought a friend instead and we were pleasantly surprised. Food was delightful. A $188/person prefix menu with multiple courses. You choose 1 dish from 4-5 options per course. There is also a wine pairing with 3 pricing tiers. We opted for the lowest tier wine pairing at $150/person, highly recommend if you are not picky and want to try a variety of wines offered. I particularly enjoyed the progression of meats with the American Wagyu starter, wild boar agnolotti, and prime rib eye entree. Apple brioche and carrot cake for dessert. Dishes are beautifully prepared and presented. Expensive, yes. However for other prefix $$$$ dining in OC, the value is worth it due to approachability and choice variation in the menu compared to other upscale restaurants in OC. I would bring even a picky diner here if you wanted an upscale experience. I left satiated and full without being overstuffed. Our server, MICKEY, was delightful. Flexible with wine pairing. Great energy and answering any questions along the way. Not stuffy or uppity. Table runners were also pleasant. Ambiance is gorgeous. The restaurant feels grand as you enter the bar area, which opens up to high ceilings, an open kitchen and appealing architectural details. Valet is included at Grand Californian, up to 5 hours with restaurant validation. An unexpected, elevated girls night out. Will return! read more

Napa Rose recently reopened after an extensive renovation and menu change, so we decided to check it out. The restaurant was updated to a more modern style, but kept the artisan style of the hotel. Service was impeccable, we were greeted by name from each of the staff members we interacted with and the waiters took their time explaining each dish and regularly stopped by to see how we were. The food was delicious and full of flavor, my favorite was the rack of lamb! read more

Our waiter Rodney is INCREDIBLE and he is aware of my gluten sensitivity. We each ordered a glass of Chardonnay and a 3 course meal or maybe it was 4 courses with sorbet. First course was scallops with a clam and a shrimp with a delicious seaweed broth. 2nd course was exotic mushrooms beautifully crafted and so delicious! 3rd course was sea bass with asparagus and it was so filling that I took it to go. 4th course was yuzu sorbet and I'm sooooo fullll It was a spectacular meal!! read more
