Napa Rose (restaurant)

Napa Rose is the flagship restaurant of the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.[1]

The restaurant, located in Disney's Grand Californian hotel, specializes in California Cuisine and has a Napa Valley wine theme.[2] The design is inspired by Scottish art nouveau designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh[3]

The head Chef, Andrew Sutton, formerly of the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas, was hired from the Auberge du Soleil resort in Napa Valley.[4] Disney hired Sutton and the former general manager/sommelier Michael Jordan at the time the new resort was opened to raise the credibility of its food and wine program.[5]

Napa Rose won the prestigious Distinguished Restaurants of North America (DiRoNA) award of excellence for the second time in 2007.[6]
