The food is good. They have some vegetarian options. The food is well seasoned and has a tasting menu with options. This is a nice fine dining experience but be aware of the set price.
After spending the day relaxing in a poolside cabana and enjoying massages at Disney's Grand Californian, we wrapped up the evening with dinner at Napa Rose, and it was one of the highlights of our trip.
From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere struck the perfect balance between upscale and comfortable. It felt like a special occasion without ever feeling pretentious.
The biggest standout of the evening was our server, Julio.
Julio made the experience. He was knowledgeable, attentive without hovering, and had a genuine personality that made us feel like guests instead of just another table. Every recommendation was thoughtful, the pacing of the meal was perfect, and he elevated what was already a fantastic dinner into something our family will remember.
The food was beautifully presented and every course felt intentional. The steaks were cooked perfectly with rich, balanced sauces that complemented rather than overpowered the meat. The seafood courses were fresh and delicate, and the desserts were just as impressive visually as they were delicious. Even the cocktails and wine pairings fit the meal perfectly.
The dining room itself is gorgeous. The lighting, flowers, open wine display, and overall ambiance make it feel elegant while still being warm and inviting.
Was it expensive? Absolutely.
Was it worth it?
For us...without question.
This wasn't just dinner—it became part of our vacation memories.
If you're celebrating something special or simply want one exceptional meal while visiting Disneyland, Napa Rose absolutely delivers.
And if you're lucky enough to be seated in Julio's section, you're in for an outstanding experience.

We would absolutely return.
We had an okay experience at Napa Rose, the food and service were great. Unfortunately, they were not enforcing a dress code and we were erroneously charged for the top tier wine paring. So, while we were dressed for the occasion, our neighbors were in shorts and T-shirts. Also, we felt taken advantage of with the wine paring. We clearly ordered the tier two pairing and were charged for the tier three. So, while the experience was nice, it did not justify a $1,300 price tag for two people. A bit outrageous I have to say. Overall, not sure we’ll be back and I would probably not recommend Napa Rose.

We did the chef's counter. This was a lovely experience, I was giggling like a kid in a candy shop half the time. We loved watching the food prep (even the learning moments), they explained some R&D going on (that we got to try! ) the somnlier Mickey was spot on! The second tier wine pairing is worth the cost, he did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed the dishes, and talking to the chef.

We went here on our last night at the resort for a high end dinner and the restaurant did not disappoint. Our server Beth was excellent and the service was fast where it needed and perfectly timed for the rest of the dinner. We decided to get cocktails first and they showed up within 5 minutes (we did have the 5:30pm reservation slot and one of the first to be seated so that could be why it arrived so fast). The wine list was very extensive but we brough our own bottle ($50 corkage). We opted for the Prix Fixe menu ($188/person) and each course arrived at just the right time. We did not feel rushed at all and the food essentially came at our pace and was perfectly cooked at each course. We ended up spending just over 2 hours in total time.
