    Steak entree
    Kami H.

    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.

    Having dined at Napa Rose several times in the last 20 years, the restaurant definitely started to show its age during our last trip in 2022. I was excited to revisit and experience the remodeled space. We booked a Sunday evening for our wedding anniversary, and what a magical experience it was. The remodeled interior has a rustic modern aesthetic, cleverly blending multiple textures like wood, glass, and other natural elements (like artwork made of soil samples from Napa Valley). Even the bathroom was stunning. And it's hard to believe the restaurant didn't have a patio before - it looked like it had always been there. Overall, a beautiful remodel that brings the space up to date and leaves behind the early 2000s. Our server Erika, our assistant server Christina, and multiple other assistants that brought our courses out were all lovely. Very knowledgeable, explaining each course and plating in detail, providing great recommendations and personal attention. THE FOOD! Every single course was phenomenal, from the optional caviar pillow, to the Charred Quail, the Sweetbread Anolini Pasta with Veal, the Colorado Rack of Lamb, and finally the Valrhona Chocolate Bar with Hazelnut Praline. Every item was presented beautifully and tasted even better. THE DRINKS! Although the wine pairings were tempting, we opted to order from the cocktail menu and every single one was incredible. The flavors, the presentation, and honestly the prices were reasonable considering. Overall, this was one of the top 3 meal experiences in my life. I have no doubt that Disney will have another MICHELIN Star recipient in their near future. We will certainly be back!

    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!

    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.

    My prince "Naveen" with Princess Tiana
    Kim C.

    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.

    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.

    The seasonal course menu offerings. This is mid Feb right after they reopened.

    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.

    Crab soup
    Vincent N.

    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!

    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)

    I loved it here! The staff is obviously great with kids. I came here for dinner and the food was amazing I really loved that little mushroom soup they start you off with. I'm currently expecting so I didn't have any of their alcoholic beverages but I would come back and I want to try sitting at the bar next time. Also their blueberry lemon cheesecake was so delicious. I would say it's worth the price for a nice date! Happy I came here i would definitely come back

    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.

    So good!

    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.

    Ask the Community - Napa Rose

    How much are we expecting to spend per adult?

    Expect to spend around $500 for the prefix meal for 2 with tip, excluding wine pairing. It was truly a fabulous meal, the very best in fine dining.

    How much is the side of the bread now in 2024?

    18.00

    Is the bread complimentary or with a charge? I don't see it on the menu?

    They used to serve a bread basket that was really good, with an assortment of breads.. and it was complimentary, but ever since Covid, they no longer serve bread. You'd have to order this foccacia side dish, if you want bread.

    Have the brought back any sides, like the truffle mac and cheese or anything else? I can't find sides on any of the posted menus.

    You can request for a side of that and they can make it. Last time I went in January they made it as a custom side for me BUT I was dining at the Chef's Counter though.

    Have they brought back the bread basket yet?

    Unfortunately, they have not.

    Does Napa Rose allow a standard Cast Member discount on a Sunday evening?

    Yes

    So, is this a upscale dress up restaurant or a short, t-shirt and slippers kinda thing as I am reading the reviews?

    Not formal per se, but maybe upscale casual. I was comfortable wearing khaki pants and a short sleeved collared polo, and I would have been fine wearing jeans or dress shorts. That being said, there were others wearing everything from park wear to… 

    Does Napa Rose allow you to bring your own wine? If yes, you what is the corkage fee?

    You should call to see if it is allowed or if there is a corkage fee. They have an extensive wine cellar, do menu pairings, and a sommelier so... best to check yourself.

    Are walk ins welcome?

    The main dining room usually requires reservations. However, the lounge and bar do allow walk-ins. The lounge and bar are perfectly fine for the ultimate Napa Rose experience.

    How long does the course dinner generally take? I saw someone mentioned their dinner experience was 2-3 hours. Wondering if that's true? We have a pretty late reservation with kids...

    Yes. It's a dining experience.

    Do they have take away if you don't feel like eating inside the restaurant?

    No. Napa Rose is a fine dining experience.

    Is the chef's table back?

    Yes. Requires a reservation which is not on-line. Call the hotel to inquire.

    Is it really just a two drink per person limit? I saw it on their Disney website?

    No, where did you see that? So interesting!

    Do they serve lunch or is it just dinner? Thanks

    Dinner only

    Is 9pm the last reservation time for Napa Rose because I have an 8:55pm time and I don't want it to last 5 min lol?

    I recently had one that late and left @11 pm So no

    How did you make a reservation? I tried on the Disneyland app but couldn't find an open date.

    They book really fast. Unfortunately right now you just have to keep checking on the app and hope for a cancellation to pop up

    When will the chef's table open?

    Chefs counter is open on weekends

    Is the chefs table open?

    No it wasn't open when I was there

    What's the dress code for dinner?

    Fanciest and most expensive restaurant in the Disneyland Resort and no dress code. You will feel comfortable in resort wear or casual dress. No swim wear or torn clothing.

    Do they have classic Disney character Snow White?

    There is a Disney princess breakfast here but reservation is required. There are princesses, they switch them out we've been twice.…

The best part of Strong Water is the immersive experience you feel sitting inside. We sat in the Captain's quarters which was an intimate spot for great conversation. Our waiter was very friendly and gave plenty of options. We opted for the Crispy Tuna Appetizer which unfortunately was not good at all. The tuna and toppings were okay but the crispy rice tasted like fried fair food almost with the texture of a rice cake. Hopefully, their other dishes are better. For drinks, the waiter helped select the Banana Batida for me which was very lovely! I love how customized the recommendations were. My partner ordered a rum drink which he enjoyed as well. We finished off with a brownie dessert. I really enjoyed the passion fruit puree and kiwi topping. The brownie tasted good but was very dense which isn't my preference. Overall, would recommend. Prioritize the drinks over the food in my opinion

    Came to get a drink because I really like the restaurant, but it doesn't open until four. So I just…read moregot a couple drinks in an appetizer before doing my last couple of attractions. I tried the shrimp ceviche and was extremely letdown. The shrimp had not been marinated and lime long enough for it to actually been cooked through the sauce and pickled onion was delicious, but there was hardly any of it, and there was more of the black tortilla chip than shrimp. It was still tasty. I'm not gonna lie and obviously the drinks are always five stars, but the taste really lied in the avocado sauce with pickled onion not really the shrimp. As always, the people were there were extremely friendly in the ambience inviting.

    I am stunned that I've never written a review for here! This is for sure one of our go to rest and…read morerestore bars and small bites. Their cocktails are usually on point and NOT watered down. We typically look in the app for walk in openings or just ask if there are spots at the bar. The staff has always been very friendly and accommodating. They are a more upscale vibe with different seating styles. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The restroom is upstairs by the full restaurant and thehave an elevator next to the stairs if needed. For this last visit, drinks were great as usually and the food delicious. Their pork belly bao is always very tender and tasty. This is the first time we have the hummus pita thing and it was delicious! It was very refreshing and all the flavours worked well. Last but not least, the meatballs were good but not my favourite based on the very strong unique flavors to it. Overall we will be back. It's a nice rest stop at DCA
