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

Recent venue remodeling and upgrading was well done. Additional seating, however, more spacious so very roomy between tables. Thankfully, the very senior wait staff still providing excellent service. Menu options included four courses with four options per course and our party managed to hit 13 out of the 16 choices and everyone in our party was overly positive about their meals. 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

Napa Rose - Dessert was the best part... - American Near Me - Anaheim, California

Birthday failure. We didn't realize the menu had become a prix fixe at $188pp, but were excited to try it anyway. Our mistake. The amuse bouche was not amusing- cold barley tea. On a colder, windy day. What???? First course: The blue shrimp was disappointing- basically just ceviche and meh. Why do that to shrimp? My husband's crudo was great. Very light fish and flavorful sauce. Second course: The duck was awful so we both had to send it back. The alternative was sweetbread (nope) or scallop which neither of us do well with. So they offered a warm beet dish which was a nice offer and a really just okay, uninspired dish. Beet on ground up greens. Wishing it had been pesto or anything flavorful, but sadly no. Third course (main): The adult chicken was jarringly weird- unless you like a sausage-like flavor then you might be pleasantly surprised. I wasn't. The branzino was nice, but not a standout. Just safe. The kids chicken parm was very odd-not traditional at all- and tasted like fish. It came with tempura beans, which was sad. Fresh veggies, anyone? Neither kid liked their meal and these kids usually adore chicken tenders and other chicken dishes. Dessert: The lemon blueberry dessert was fine but really nothing special. And the kids sundae came with unlisted ingredients which made our son recoil and politely decline it. Overall: There were so many shortcomings to the meal and the experience, we won't ever go back. And it was so sad because instead of talking to us like people, who we can only assume was the manager (he didn't self identify) took over our service and made us feel radioactive. He never actually spoke with us, which was a bit intimidating. So, what was supposed to be a beautiful birthday dinner was the priciest disappointment we've ever had at a restaurant. 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

We recently visited Napa Rose for the first time while staying at the Disneyland Hotel. Our party included four adults and two children, and we were looking forward to a memorable dining experience centered around a great steak dinner. To begin with the positives, the staff was extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. The ambience was beautiful, refined, and exactly what you would expect from a high-end dining experience. The focaccia bread was outstanding, and the complimentary soup was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed a very nice bottle of wine. When we realized the main dining room was offering only a preset tasting menu that evening, we chose to dine in the lounge area instead, where we hoped to enjoy a quality steak. My son and I both appreciate a truly great cut of meat, so we ordered the 32-ounce prime tomahawk steak. Unfortunately, this was where the experience became very disappointing. For a steak represented as prime quality -- and at this price point -- we expected a much higher-quality cut of meat. The tomahawk contained very large pockets of fat throughout, to the point that what appeared to be nearly half of the steak was inedible. It honestly felt like there may have been only 15-20 ounces of actual edible meat remaining. Whether this was simply a poor cut of meat or an issue with preparation, it did not meet expectations for a restaurant of this caliber. A prime tomahawk will naturally contain some marbling and fat, but this was excessive and significantly impacted the dining experience. We chose not to complain during dinner, although more than half of the steak was left behind on the plate. Surprisingly, despite this, no one inquired whether there had been an issue with the meal. Overall, we truly appreciated the service, atmosphere, bread, soup, and wine experience, but were very disappointed in the quality and execution of the steak itself -- especially considering the premium pricing and reputation of the restaurant. read more

Excellent staff and service. Food was not that great. I had the fish entree and it was bland/salty. Courses weren't worth the $200/person price tag. 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

We visited Napa Rose on Sunday night to celebrate Valentine's, and it was such a wonderful experience. The restaurant looks beautiful since the reopening -- it had been quite a while since our last visit, and it felt really special to be back. The food was phenomenal and every course felt thoughtfully prepared. Service was just as impressive -- everyone we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Jess was our server and she was absolutely fantastic. Attentive, kind, and so knowledgeable about the menu -- she truly made the evening feel extra special. read more

We don't like to dress up to eat but we like to eat oLucky for us, they had seating in the lounge. I saw their signature - best hot chocolate on the menu before our Disney trip. It's not on their normal menu but they let us order it! I've been dying to order this for years. It's delicious! The presentation, everything. With an almond orange kringle pastry, very crisp, and toasted hazelnuts with foamy whip cream on the thick hot chocolate. I love hot chocolate and this is one of the best I've had. I loved the variety of menu items. Our server was sweet enough to go over the whole menu with us. What does winter goose taste like? In this case, it tasted like a gamier piece of the oyster of a turkey, the rich back dark meat. The pot pie came out nice and hot, the goose was cooked in a rich Merlot. En croute is cooked in a pastry. I did not get an overwhelming flavor from the pastry but that's okay because it tasted great dipped in the Merlot sauce. Roasted Colorado lamb loin, pomegranate lemon mint. The lamb was so tender. The flavors were excellent. Mint goes well with lamb and this was the perfect sauce with the pomegranate. The warm gingerbread notes to the sticky toffee made a nice change from regular sticky toffee with caramelized brown sugar. The addition of the pineapple pear sherbet gave it another flavor profile and the edible sugary green leaf gave it a beautiful presentation. Some people are really dressed, some casual and some with kids after a day in the park. I think it's totally worth it to relax with a cup of coffee or iced tea here after a day or a few hours in the park with some good bites, desserts, or meal. 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

We stayed at the Grand California this past week and checked out the fanciest meal I've ever had at Disneyland...Napa Rose We opted to share all the appetizers and second dishes in lieu of ordering mains and everything was fantastic. Most of the dishes are designed for single portion but we still were able to atleast sample a few bites each My favorites were the crying tiger salad and mushroom soup The sommelier, David, was awesome as well and we had polished off a bottle of sancerre with dinner The staff was extremely attentive and paid extra attention to my friend's treenut allergy throughout our meal Definitely a place for more special occasion food experience, given the much higher price point and gourmet dishes ...but in highly recommend a meal at the Napa Rose. You won't regret it! 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

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

I recently returned again today for another Princess Breakfast with my sister for a sister date to de-stress. Everything was great and I really do love their food, service, and the ambiance of getting to meet the Disney Princesses! Parking validation is free for 5 hours when dining in at the Grand Californian. Our waiter was fantastic and he was great about letting us know about which Princesses were available to meet. The food was delicious like always and they have the best Mickey waffles here! One new appetizer that I got to try was the cornbread that had this cheese cream cheese. It was yummy! I got to enjoy the basket of pastries this time as they took it away too quickly last time, and those were so delicious especially with the lemon curd spread. My only complaint which is a big one is that they took away the "complimentary" glass of champagne for adults. My poor waiter had to let me know after I asked him about it. But this is why the removal of the "complimentary" champagne upsets me. When I went last year in August 2023, it was $125. When I made my advanced dining reservation on July 30th for today, it was $135 at the time. Somehow, from July to September, they increased the price of the breakfast to $142 which is way over the inflation rate for OC. Getting the bill surprised me because I was expecting $135 per person. It's already a steep price increase but to also take away a feature that's just a simple glass of champagne just leaves a bad taste in my mouth because essentially with the hefty price, guests are really paying for the "complimentary" champagne. Which begs the question: What are we actually paying for now with a $17 price increase within the span of a year? I can't help but think that the new cast member contract has something to do with the huge jump in price. No hate to the cast members who work there as they're wonderful and work so hard and deserve every cent of a livable wage. They make the experience magical! But unfortunately, this was my eye opening moment for my boujee self that the Disney corporate greed continues to sour the magic as their solution for paying their workers fairly is to overcompensate what they charge their guests. And $142 per kid too for ages 3-9? Sheesh. read more

Never had a bad meal here. Definitely pricey but worth trying at least once. Service is always top notch. We started with rosemary parmesan pull apart bread that was served with butter and sun dried tomato sauce. It was delicious! Definitely worth it. For entrees, I had the Prime Eye of the Ribeye. It was served on a bone marrow mashed potato type of puree. The serving seemed small but I was surprisingly full afterwards. It was amazing! Looking forward to trying the chefs counter one of these days. In the meantime, my bank account needs to recover a bit. read more

The food was good but extremely expensive, the restaurant was nice but service was whatever. We came here for a light dinner one night and it was a decent experience. We sat at the bar. Reservation is highly recommended, but the bar could be easy for those who just wants to have an informal dinner. We ordered drinks and food. The food did take quite a bit of time to come out. Small portions very expensive, the flavor was good but for how much you're paying not sure if it's worth it. Even bread was $20. Service was a bit slow, and for a restaurant of this caliber, I had to ask for things several times. Mediocre experience, unlikely to return. read more

Very yummy experience! My friend took me out to Napa Rose on a Sunday evening and the whole experience was very fun! We came one week before Napa Rose is closing for renovations so I'm glad I got to see what it looked like before it changes. I got: STARTER bite: yuzu sauce thing - I thought it was a bit awkwardly tart 1st Tidepool: 4/5 - Yum! Came with a giant shrimp, a large scallop, seaweed stock, hijiki seaweed, 2 big beans, and a clam! Very cute and I loved the soup but it was a tad salty. 2nd Ragout: 3.75/5 - I loved the noodles, they were perfectly al dente and had a great bite but it was very salty - a bit too salty for me. The meat was not really to my liking but the overall sauce was nice 3rd Maple glazed duck breast 5/5 - AMAZING and perfectly executed. The duck is absolutely perfectly tender and pairs beautifully with the blood orange and the kabocha mash. 4th Sticky toffee 4.5/5 - very yummy dessert and it's definitely a sweet one. I didn't love the pineapple sorbet or the pineapples at the bottom, but the sticky toffee itself was great. ENDING bite: chocolate praline with sea salt - very cute end to the meal! Restrooms are large, with real towels (and the paper ones). Service is very quick, friendly, and attentive. A reservation at Napa Rose includes 5 hours of free parking when you park with valet. Overall, Napa Rose is very cute and I would definitely be open to coming back if I'm ever celebrating something! 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

Food, service, and ambiance are all excellent at Napa Rose. It is not a cheap dinner, but it is a special place that I enjoy visiting with my wife. Driving into the hotel, walking through the grand doors of the hotel, vast open ceiling, gets you in the mood. Restaurant carries similar theme as hotel. I've never had bad food or bad service at Napa Rose. My wife and I are foodies. Napa Rose remains my wife and my favorite local restaurant. Don't go if you want cheap, but go if you want a treat. read more

I'll start with 5 stars and deduct from there is 2 areas. First, minus 2 stars for the almost disrespectful location we were seated. Stuck us in a far corner at a table where I could absolutely see nothing of the restaurant, just myself in a mirror attached to the back of the waiters station. Then to boot, there's another table less than 2 feet away and they stick someone at it and they were loud the whole time. For a $600 meal, it lost all the intimacy of a fine dining experience just based on where we were seated. And there were other tables that were empty. Second, the food. Minus 1 star. As a whole, it was very good. But for each dish I had, I could think of somewhere I had a similar type of dish, and came up with many that beat this meal. Nothing jumped off the plate as special. Needless to say, I was highly disappointed in the whole thing and would never come back to this place again. read more

Overall, we had a great experience visiting for brunch on a Sunday to celebrate a friend's birthday. The restaurant was adorable, beautifully decorated, and had plenty of activities to keep kids entertained. One of the highlights was getting to meet and greet with the princesses, which made the day even more special. The buffet experience was pleasant-staff started us off with scones and brought out additional appetizers on a cute tray. They were very accommodating of allergies, ensuring everyone in our party had a great experience. The food itself was good for a breakfast buffet, but not particularly extraordinary, especially considering the price. I'd say this is a great spot if you have kids who would love meeting the princesses, but for me, it was a one-time experience I likely won't need to repeat. read more

Took our adult daughters to celebrate their birthday last night. This was our second time since they reopened. The food is amazing and presented classy. Was terribly disappointed that the changed the amuse bouche from the mushroom latte and other patrons were dressed sloppy wearing shorts, flip flops and t-shirts. The service was excellent as before but my pet peeve is that the deserts for my daughters did not have their names and HB on the plate. I know they do that because it was done the first time we were there for my sister's birthday and the receptionist this time did ask for their names. This is a little thing but would have meant a lot. They dropped the ball. read more

Review is for their Disney Princess Adventure (Breakfast) Reservations are key and needed early. Ambiance is amazing with excellent theming, a live musician, and excellent staff to make you feel like royalty. The main draw is the princesses- we got to see a total of 8! They have two main staging areas to see them, which rotates about every hour with new princesses to meet and greet. Food was good but definitely not the reason you come. They have nicely themed and cute looking appetizers and desserts (nothing special in general) however I did like their chocolate chia seed parfait and banana foster with berries. They also have a pastry basket with their blueberry scone being great. The middle/main course is on a buffet line that includes Mickey waffles and eggs, sausage, bacon, fruits, and steak. They were all nice and flavorful just not necessarily spectacular. Overall the service and ambiance and experience were all top tier 10/10. The food is good but for a steep price ($135 per person) however, the food is NOT the reason you come here. When you see your kid with the princesses and seeing the experience, it was totally worth it hands down, and would be back maybe in a few years. read more

Napa Rose - Appetizer Tower - American Near Me - Anaheim, California

You'll need a reservation to dine here, and you'll receive a call the day of confirming your reservation. Menu selection is limited, but they have a wide selection of wines available. I was here celebrating a friend's bday. The evening started off well enough. Our waiter was nice and went through the menu. The prices can be steep, but some of the selections are able to be shared. Also, there is a small selection of non alcoholic drinks for the designated drivers! We started off with the Tiger salad followed by the gnocchi for our second course and then the duck. All three courses were absolutely delicious and very filling even though we shared. There is quite a bit of wait in between courses, though, so be prepared for that. For some reason, our waiter seemed more somber as the night progressed. I guess he was just tired, so we tried not to hold it against him. The restaurant itself is very nice, and they have an open kitchen area where you can see the executive chef and other chefs working. Overall, it was a great experience. Too bad it didn't come with complimentary dessert for the birthday we were celebrating like other restaurants would have offered, but it wasn't a big deal. read more

This is a great place to dine during your Disneyland adventures if you don't mind splurging a little and manage to get a reservation. The atmosphere is great and the service is always amazing! One thing to note - expect to be here for a few hours if you decide to dine here. They offer a prix fixe menu (Vintner's Table Menu) if you have a big appetite. I ordered the Diver Scallop and Smiling Tiger salad. The presentation of the dishes is top notch. We also got a delicious dessert as we were celebrating birthdays at our table. My favorite part about this place is truly the service. The servers are really knowledgeable in recommending wine and make an effort to take care of the guests. read more

My friend and I had been making our way around Disneyland for their fine dining and Napa Rose was the last one on our list to try. Located inside the Grand Californian hotel, the restaurant occupies an impressive space with a large open kitchen where you can see the all of the chefs hard at work. As indicated in its name, Napa Rose is an upscale Californian cuisine and boasts an excellent wine list. For appetizers, my friend and I shared the the duck confit and pesto pasta. While the flavors were on point for both dishes, portions are definitely on the smaller side. I also ordered the Spanish "Paella" Red Carabinero Shrimp for my main entree which fortunately had decently sized portion. The flavor was delicious and tasted close to exactly like paella with not only shrimp, but also fish and mussels. Our waitress was warm and hospitable and checked up on us regularly. Service was friendly overall and had a great vibe. If I were to return again, it would probably be for the chef's table during a special occasion. read more

Napa Rose - Duck Confit - American Near Me - Anaheim, California

I'll give the service 5 stars and the food 1 star. With tax, tip and a $50 wine corkage fee, the meal was $300 pp (They only serve a 4 course prix-fixe menu for $188). For that price, I'd expect an excellent meal, but instead I got food that I didn't even like. They don't even give you the breadbasket anymore. We sat at a row of three SMALL tables practically on top of each other, with a screaming baby next to us. The parents got up about a dozen times, thankfully to walk the baby, but each time they had to squeeze out of the space and almost knocked over our glasses. The guy had to turn his back to our table and squeeze through sideways. Think up-scale cafeteria seats...Not what you'd expect for fine dining. As for the food. The amuse bouche mushroom soup was very good. Next was the wagyu sliced beef, ok, but nothing exciting. Then there were the "pasta stuffed boats with crab," as described to us by the waiter, but they were large pieces of pasta in broth with a little bit of crab. Boring. Dinner was the leg of lamb and lamb pot roast. I had one bite, which was too much. What it really was, was a small wheel of overcooked lamb wrapped in cardboard hard chorizo, which made the lamb extremely salty. For the finale was the supposed carrot cake, which as actually a cookie layered with pineapple, cream cheese and whipped cream with about a 1" piece of torn carrot cake on the side. Beautiful presentation but not very tasty. I was at the chef's table about 1 1/2 years ago, which was fun, but now the price is outrageous. Seems they are more interested in pretty food than gourmet food. The people on either side of us were from out of town, which is likely how they get customers. As a local, I won't be returning as I know better! read more

The remodel is beautiful. The food presentation was nice. The taste mediocre. Food tastes better at Fleming's or Mary's in Herrin Illinois Mary's serves delicious prefix gourmet dishes. We were celebrating my daughter's birthday at Napa Rose When I made the reservation I made them aware of it. Hostess commented on it. Waiter only acknowledged it when he handed me the bill. We had coffee after dinner watching as other diners had candles quietly delivered to their tables. So that was disappointing as well. I gave it two stars for the makeover and food presentation. I just cannot recommend spending roughly 500.00 on dinner for two that isn't absolutely delicious. It appears that they are working towards a level of sophistication that I believe they had achieved before the renovation. I had several meals there and each was delicious. I don't know what happened during the renovation process but the flavor, taste, the , my goodness I don't have the words it's just not there. If you don't care about taste and just want to escape the noisier Disney restaurants this is the place. read more

Always a great experience coming to Napa rose! It's one of my favorite places to eat while in Disney! They have their menu setup as a 4 course pre fixe with lots of choices per course. I had my favorite cocktail - the Napa passion, and I felt like it's gotten an upgrade on the presentation since the last time I was able to eat here which was probably about a year ago. For food, my stand out favorites were the California Tide pools, the Ahi tuna Crudo, and the beef. The hot chocolate was also a delicious dessert! Service here is always great, our waiter was very nice. I do feel like they spaced out the first two courses quite a bit, which wasn't necessarily bad, but it did seem like there was extra time allotted in between those two courses. Looking forward to my next visit ! read more

Located in the DISNEY GRAND CALIFORNIAN HOTEL. We weren't expecting on dining at such a fancy sit down place on our Disney day but what a wonderful experience it was! We were able to get a last minute reservation for 5:30pm. We weren't too hungry since we were snacking all day at the parks. The interior was rustic with lots of wood & flower details. The COMPLEMENTARY BREAD was even beautifully presented. It came with two different jams. I believe one was citrus & the other one was berry based. I do wish one of them was savory rather than both sweet. Still very tasty & memorable. For dinner we ordered - SMILING TIGER SALAD: very savory salad with spicy beef & shrimp fritters. It was a touch salty for my preference but still a very delicious side - HERB POTATO GNOCCHI: they were very gracious to portion this out for us to split. The cook on the gnocchi had such a good mouth feel. Creamy & lamb ragout was paired so well as the sauce - BERKSHIRE PORK CHOP: the star of the meal. Honestly the BEST pork chop I ever had. So tender & seasoned to perfection. I could have eaten the whole thing to myself but unfortunately we were sharing. IRVIN & DON WERE STUPENDOUS! Don was our main waiter. He was very sweet, knowledgeable in the menu, & very attentive. Irvin assisted in presenting our dishes. He was so charismatic & made our time very pleasant. If you're able to score a reservation I highly recommend giving this place a try & ask for Irvin or Don! read more

My SIL booked a reservation for the Disney Princess Breakfast to celebrate my niece's birthday. She said reservations were extremely difficult, but she was able to get max reservations 60 days ago. Adults are $135 and children ages 3 to 9 is also $135 per person. The restaurant is located inside Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. The place was pretty packed when we arrived around 10:30am on a Sunday. It was my first time at this restaurant, so I was excited to try their food. It was a three course breakfast (starters, main courses, and royal desserts). My favorite was definitely the starters because it was a 3 tier tower of appetizers. I was also able to try their buffet items (Mickey Mouse pancakes, eggs, bacon, fruits, etc.) and they were tasty. I also enjoyed their fries and scones. My nieces were able to get autographs from at least 6 different princesses. They were all very nice and made them feel extra special. I especially enjoyed story time with Belle. Our server was also extremely friendly and gave my niece a couple of desserts. Overall, it was a great experience for a first timer like me, but of course it's on the pricier side given that it is a Disney restaurant. read more
