Napa Rose (restaurant)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Napa Rose is the premier restaurant of the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.

The restaurant, located in Disney's Grand Californian hotel, specializes in California Cuisine and has a Napa Valley wine theme.[1] The design is inspired by Scottish art nouveau designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh[2]

General manager Michael Jordan became one of the world's few master sommeliers in late 2007.[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 the two at the time the new resort was opened to raise the credibility of its food and wine program.[5]
