Napa Rose

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 !

We've been coming to the Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures at Napa Rose every year, but sadly, this will be our last. At $150 per person (for anyone over 3), the experience just doesn't justify the cost anymore--especially with no alcohol included.Service: Our server, Dominic, was fantastic--attentive, friendly, and great with the kids. The princesses were lovely as always, and our kids had a magical time. The food itself was solid, no complaints there.Why We're Not Coming Back:Unfortunately, management has made some noticeable cost-cutting changes, stripping away some of the special perks that made this experience worth it in previous years.Here's what's missing compared to last year: * Kids now pay the same price as adults (used to be half price) and price increased to $150 * No included champagne (used to be part of the experience). * Princess interactions are more limited--they used to come around to different areas and even did a little dance. * No more dedicated "round robin" time with princesses at each table. * No take-home gift for kids at the end.For $150 per person, I expected more. If you're a huge Disney fan, your kids will still love it--but at this price point, it's hard to ignore the cutbacks. Disappointed that Disney seems to be charging more for less.

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.

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.

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 dinnerThe 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!

This was definitely one of the best restaurants in Disneyland. Great food, service and ambience. Highly recommended!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
