There are endless reasons to visit Disneyland; maybe it’s for the perfect photo in front of sun-drenched Sleeping Beauty Castle or a thrilling ride on Space Mountain. But for many of us it’s all about the food.
Sure, a Mickey pretzel is both reliably delicious (and adorable) but the mouse has a few culinary tricks up its sleeve. And for visitors with a discerning palate, they know to head to Napa Rose, Disneyland’s culinary crown jewel and the resort’s first true fine-dining establishment.
A Southern California institution, the award-winning signature restaurant, located within Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, has reopened after an extensive $30 million makeover. It's a magical return with a reimagined dining experience that “builds upon its 25-year legacy of California wine country cuisine with global influences” (Disney Parks Blog).
The concept is led by Chef Andrew Sutton, who has been with Napa Rose since its opening in 2001, and Executive Chef Clint Chin. Its wine collection, helmed by wine director Patrick Kirchen, continues to impress, housing more than 13,000 bottles solidifying its place as one of the most extensive wine programs in the region.

View this post on InstagramNapa Rose offers a variety of dining experiences, from casual a la carte eats at the bar and lounge to a seasonal prix fixe menu in its main dining room. For the ultimate splurge, there’s a Chef’s Counter and updated private dining options.
A new menu focused on seasonality and “broader international perspective” features standouts like a handmade sorpresine pasta with Dungeness crab and Santa Barbara uni butter, American wagyu N.Y. with grape funnel mustardo and a Nantes carrot cake cremeux. Longtime visitors will recognize familiar staples, like the Laughing Tiger (available in the lounge), a reimagining of the fan-favorite smiling tiger salad, and its signature mushroom cappuccino bisque.

And a whole lot of pixie dust went into this glow-up. Restaurant goers will spot a shiny new, sophisticated look, led by Walt Disney Imagineering’s Katrina Mosher, taking inspiration from California’s Arts and Crafts tradition and honoring Napa Valley (Think: luxurious mountain lodge with warm, inviting feel). Its showstopper is a chandelier with a branch-and-vine design and hanging glass-like grapes modeled after the historic Mission Vine.
The culinary journey begins at an eye-catching new bar. Featuring cozy seating areas and new fireplaces, the menu dishes small bites and craft cocktails in an intimate setting. Here, you'll also discover a newly renovated outdoor patio. Main dining exudes elegance with modern, albeit timeless Craftsman architecture. For a bit more of a laid-back feel, its expanded terrace embodies that classic California wine country al fresco dining feel. With space for just 18 guests, the Chef’s Counter is a front row seat to its interactive, open-exhibition kitchen where the chefs personalize each course of your meal, tapping into creativity and seasonal abundance.
Reservations are now open and highly suggested. Walk-ins are welcome at the bar and lounge.
