I've dined at Napa Rose in the dining room, private dining area (business event) and the chef's table, several times over the years. The service has always been top notch and the food exceptional. I was excited to read about the relaunch of the restaurant after its remodel and the ambitions to build on its great reputation. I was excited to book a table for two to celebrate a special occasion. We loved the refreshed decor and design and the service did not disappoint. Unfortunately, the meal did not live up to the level of our previous experiences, which was disappointing, especially given the elevated pricing. I believe there were 5 courses which we could choose various dishes from. The food was good, with only the shot glass-sized serving of soup and one other main dish we found to be very good and on par with past experiences. The balance of the meal ranged from good to just ok. Hopefully next season's menu will get back to a level where every dish is exceptional. In the interim, I'm hesitant to return to the dining room but might try the a la carte menu in the bar area. 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

Napa Rose - Menu - American Near Me - Anaheim, California

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

Newly renovated, new executive chef. We were a little nervous going in chef's counter. Dare I say, FOOD is better than before! Not cheap, food comes out SLOW, but for any Disney-adult-self-proclaimed-foodie. A must taste :]! Can't wait for the next special occasion to go back. 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

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 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

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

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

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

Could have been better. Beautiful after the renovation, I give them that. The space is Muchmore elevated, and we sat in a booth facing the open kitchen. There are different seating options, Dining room, Lounge, or along the open kitchen - that option for reservations opens on the 1st of every month. Our waiters, Mickey and Nick are AMAZING. They are well versed and knowledgeable about their menu. It was nice to view the kitchen. With that said, the overall experience didn't live up to expectations. One thing that really threw me off was the temperature of the food. Dishes kept coming out extremely hot like, no warning, just straight up burn your tongue hot. The amuse-bouche was a mushroom soup. While while it was actually really tasty, it burned. I brushed it off because, okay, it's soup...... that can happen. But then it kept happening with the next courses too, and it started to feel like the kitchen didn't put that into thought enough. We had our first courses, the Apple Pacific Shrimp Flutes and the American Wagyu N.Y. - The Apple Pacific Shrimp Flutes was refreshing and had great flavors. The Wagyu was tough.. surprisingly. At our second course we had the Sopresine Pasta, The bowl looked like an Uni shell! cute. The winter goose dish... BURNED ME AGAIN. I couldn't enjoy the rest of my meal after that. I let my husband eat everything else and I had my dessert packed to go. it was sooo unfortunate. I did try his Prime of the Eye ... SO CHEWY. for PRIME? that was the tipping... If you want prefix, the kitchen at Providence ranks better. I want to saw, SERVICE Was impeccable. but kitchen needs fixing...... Although this is unrelated to the actual restaurant, I must mention that the Valet experience was a nightmare. it was not busy. the guests before us had a missing car, the pulled the WRONG vehicle for them even though their ticket matched the keys. then we waited for 20 minutes before asking where is our care and OOPS? they key was still hanging?!!!?!!?!?? This was our second night out as new parents without a baby. it was so sad to experience this, this way. Doubtful to try again. read more

Had a great birthday meal recently at Napa Rose where we got the chance to enjoy their 2026 spring menu. The Sorpresine Pasta with California Crab Broth, Pacific Uni Butter was terrific! I also loved my Colorado Rack of Lamb which came braised. They had a nice Paso Robles Cab that was reasonably priced. The Wagyu and prime eye of the rib were also flavorful.

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 service is great 5/5 as for the food not to happy with that 3/5 and the price was bad for portions 2/5 We went for your 21st anniversary and it was just ok the wine was good for the 125.00 pairing i did but the food was not as good going as coming out it left me and my wife running to the restroom not to long after we left. I had the Steak not what I expected from a high end Steak for this price I would have been just as good at Norms with eggs lol. 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

I'm updating a review left 15 years ago. Since then, the restaurant has really faltered. During our last visit a year ago, I noticed that the restaurant was basically falling apart. The price was high, as should be for a restaurant positioned at that level, but the experience just wasn't there. For each of our last three visits, I decided that we would not go back, yet we kept coming back. Each time I would leave as if I were robbed, having an experience more akin to Outback than the high-end dining experience they were trying to deliver. We were told the restaurant would be closing for a major overhaul. We were looking forward to coming back and trying again. The restaurant was absolutely beautiful, apart from the wretched arrangements that someone with atrocious taste clearly selected. Who puts frosted pinecones with sunflowers? The arrangement in the main dining room looked like something stolen from a crypt five years ago. I'm not sure who is managing that restaurant, but they clearly don't have eyes. Back to the dining experience, service was slow. The kitchen was slow and the cuisine was a bit confusing. The best way I could describe it is disappointment bookmarked by greatness. It took forever for our drinks and food to come out. What did come out was more disappointing than anything. We again left with a bill more akin to the French laundry than what I would pay at Outback for a better meal, and I don't go to Outback. The bill, for what we received, was offensive. This time I can definitively say that, after 25 years of consistently dining at The Napa Rose, I will not go back.

The prix menu options we chose were delicious. I liked walking away after eating feeling good...not too full. I also added the second level wine pairing to my menu while my husband ordered the highest tequila option of Clase Azul gold and the Guerrero mezcal. Overall, I enjoyed the taste and texture of all the flavors combined with the wine pairings chosen specifically for me. I also enjoyed Beth as our waitress. She helped me choose my wine pairings based on my go to's and helped me try new wines. She was amazing! Oh, and the remodeling of the restaurant was worth the wait. I really like the new seats and decor. The waiting area also seems more sophisticated and offers more seating in front of the fire place. read more

This is heart-breaking that I have to do this, but I need to raise the red flag, as I want to get their leadership's attention. We used to come here twice a year before the pandemic, and we were here twice after the pandemic. We used to love this place. It used to be the best restaurant in Los Angeles. This was our first time since the remodel. While it's ecstatically and functionally much nicer, we were not pleased with the menu. 1. They don't offer bread anymore. Before the pandemic, they had a nice breadbasket with 4 different types of bread. We loved it. 2. You can't order a la carte anymore. You are forced to have the $188 prix fixe menu. It has 5 courses, and the waiter assured us that we wouldn't need bread, as the menu is very filling. 3. I don't need a waiter to tell me what I need or not need. The portions are extremely small. I even ordered the $30 Amuse Bouche caviar pillow, and we even ordered an extra dessert, yet we were still not full. 4. If I spend $1,000 (including tip) for a dinner for 2, I shouldn't have to contemplate whether or not to go to McDonald's after dinner to get full. If you are forcing me to order your 5-course prix fixe menu, then the least you could do is to give me enough food. Before the pandemic, they had proper portions and with an appetizer, an entrée and a dessert, we were more than full. I liked the dishes, but they must stop forcing guests to only have a prix fixe menu to order from. I thought that's what the Chef's table was for. Other guests should be able to order a la carte. And they have to bring back their signature breadbasket. We are not going back until their leadership acknowledges that they made a mistake and informs us that the a la carte menu and the breadbasket are back. So, feel free to dish out some heavy cash for your dinner and have the experience at the remodeled Napa Rose, but be prepared to go to McDonald's afterwards to get full. read more

I recently dined at Napa Rose and, unfortunately, it was one of the few Disney experiences that left me disappointed. I had the opportunity to sit at the chef's table, which I was really excited about, but the experience didn't live up to expectations--especially given the price point. While the wait staff was warm, attentive, and truly excellent, the overall service felt lacking. There were long gaps between courses (about 15-20 minutes), which made the meal feel drawn out rather than thoughtfully paced. Part of what I was most looking forward to was the interaction with the head chef, but they were often occupied and occasionally missed introducing dishes, which took away from the immersive experience the chef's table is supposed to offer. As for the food, it was good, but not particularly memorable or standout--especially for a restaurant of this caliber. At this level, I expected something more elevated and distinctive. Overall, the experience felt overpriced for what was delivered. As someone who loves Disney and usually has incredible experiences, this one just didn't meet the standard I've come to expect. At one point he yelled at one of the junior chefs! 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

Starting with the good, this place looks amazing inside! They really did a great job with the renovation and I like the open kitchen. The service is top notch, 10/10 for sure! The waiter and assistant were extremely nice and attentive. The amuse-bouche was INCREDIBLE! They basically gave you a shot glass full, but it was so rich, it was all u really needed. Now for the bad, the food was NOT good. My first course was the Ahi Tuna and it just was not very good. Next I had the wild boar, it was gross. WAY over salted and I like salt, a lot. I ate about 1 1/2 small bites and couldn't do it. Next up, the lamb. I was extremely excited for this! I'm a lamb fanatic. It was the worst thing I ate. Again, way too much salt and really gamey. I had one bite. The little side of pot roast was ok, but I was really wanting a delicious piece of lamb. Finishing up with the good, the cheddar cannoli was literally the best dessert I've ever had. It was a must get. If ur just going for the experience and nothing more, u should go. If ur looking for the best meal of ur life, this is a hard pass. Lastly, without making this too long, my husband's meal was not very good either. For us, this was not worth it for the price. For 2 people with the $150 per person wine pairing, it was over $800. read more

I was so disappointed. The service was wonderful, the flow and spot on timing was much improved....but the food was simply not at all enjoyable. A non-alcoholic pear beverage was served that was pure vinegar. We were taken aback by how spoilage like that could possibly have not been caught in a restaurant in such a high profile location and the $188 per person price point. The meats were fatty...all of them save the fish, and even the fish had an off taste. This is not the Napa Rose of yesteryear. read more

The newly reopened Napa Rose is great. The interior is completely remodeled with more defined areas and an open kitchen. In the main dining room, only a $188 4-course prix fixe menu is offered. A la carte items are offered in the bar/lounge. There's also a Chef's Table experience available separately. Food quality was very good overall. However, the ribeye was cooked nicely but lacked somewhat in flavor and juiciness. Service from our main waiter Julio and supporting waiters was very attentive and warm, along with the hostesses. read more

Napa Rose is an absolutely amazing restaurant! Easily the best Disney restaurant experience we've ever had. The ambiance is set by the chefs hard at work in the open kitchen displaying their impressive skill and organization. The executive chef (Clint) gave us a memorable night with a demonstration of how to cook a scallop using a cast iron skillet; and how to care for them afterwards. Thanks to him and this experience, I've already bought a cast iron and will try out the technique! Even forgetting the ambiance, Napa Rose is amazing due to the exceptional food! We ordered Tiger Salad & Tide Pool, Boar Ragout & Partridge, Filet Mignon & Duck Breast, and Espresso "Pick Me Up" & Pineapple Sticky Toffee. All of these dishes were perfectly cooked, well balanced, and made with quality ingredients. Our favorite dishes were the Partridge & Filet Mignon. These dishes were so good that we still talk about it daily like, "oh man, remember that Partridge?" Clint clued us into a fun fact that the partridges are sent directly to their restaurant with no freezing ever. After they are received, they go through multiple days of preparation to achieve their moist & scrumptious flavor. Well worth every penny, strongly recommended! read more

Took my daughter on a special date to have breakfast with the princesses yesterday, and was not impressed. We were promised multiple princesses and they did not deliver. Before we even sat down a worker told my 3.5 year old Ariel would be there and they would come get us to take a photo with her. We got sat on the patio and waited... met Raya? & mulan... waited another 30 mins before another table complained and they sent out aurora and jasmine. Still no Ariel, that's all my daughter could talk about the whole breakfast. Then I asked our waitress finally when our turn was and she said she's busy in the open sea. They then sent out a manager to tell me we can give you an autograph picture of her instead & promised us Repunzel in 15 mins if we could wait. My daughter eyes lit up because she was dressed as her, we waited again only to be brought another autographed picture and told she wouldn't be coming either. Talk about crushed hearted girl. We will not be going back for that price! I'm reading there was supposed to be a gift (necklace) as well? Yeah we didn't get that either. Food was 5/10 stars. Super bummed at this experience. read more

Outstanding customer service, every dish was a hit, especially the starter. Very close to Downtown Disney. I'd definitely go again. I'm still blown away by the exceptional staff who go out of their way to make you feel taken care of. read more

Napa Rose continues to be the best fine dining experience at Disneyland Resort, and their updated menu is outstanding. We dined from the lounge area bar menu and started with the Hawaiian Ahi Tuna Carpaccio, which was light, fresh, and perfectly balanced with the citrusy relish. The Healing Broth was a surprise favorite -- comforting, flavorful, and genuinely nourishing with mushrooms, herbs, and soba noodles. We also tried the Pepita Crusted Zucchini Blossom with green mole, and the mole sauce was rich, earthy, and beautifully done. The Tarte Flambée flatbread was crisp, savory, and ideal for sharing. The restaurant itself also feels refreshed -- the updated decor and warmer, more modern look make the whole experience feel even more elevated. Excellent service, great pacing, and a truly special night. Napa Rose remains a destination restaurant. Shoutout to Dondi, Erika, Riley, Andhita, Natalie and the team for a wonderful grand opening experience. read more

Let me start by saying... I LOVE DISNEY! LOCATION (5/5): Inside Disneys Grand Californian Hotel. It's one of their fine dining restaurants not inside the park. AMBIANCE (3/5): White table cloths, semi-fancy. Semi-fancy because you can go dressy or wearing casual Disney merch and still fit in their dress code. It's mostly adults, but I do see lots of children with their families. I'd say more of a "date night" spot. SERVICE (5/5): Service was top notch! It wasn't super busy when we arrived @ 6pm on a weekday, but once we left around 8pm the restaurant started filling up. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often! FOOD (3/5): It's a Prix Fixe Menu of 4 COURSES total. AMUSE-BOUCHE: this is a FREE stater course that is compliments of the chef. A one bite starter before your meal starts. It was a custard with crispy bread crumbs on top and we LOVED IT! 1ST COURSE: CHARED PACIFIC AHI TUNA CRUDO - we both got the same dish and it was OK. It tasted fine, but I just feel like the flavors fell flat. There was not much going on, needed some acid of some sort. Looked pretty, tasted meh. Sadly, the crouton tasted better than the tuna. 2ND COURSE: WINTER GOOSE POT PIE - this dish was YUMMY! The puff pastry on top was chefs kiss & how unique is GOOSE as your protein? It was juicy & tender. Would recommend! 3RD COURSE: COLORADO LAMB LOIN - this was average. The FILET MIGNON was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Whatever sauce they put on it really made the dish incredible. Skip the lamb and order the FILET trust me. 4TH COURSE: BAKED CHEESE "KOLACHE" - this was the dessert course. It was salty & sweet. I thought it was good. OVERALL (3.5/5): I was expecting more flavors from the food. The only dish that actually blew me away was the FILET MIGNON. The rest were good, but not impressive enough to come back for awhile. Service was great! & Disney experience made it more enjoyable. read more
