Editorial Review for Napa Rose at Grand Californian – by Jane Tunks
The Scene
With a window overlooking Grizzly Peak, Napa Rose furthers the Grand Californian's Arts and Crafts theme with light-colored woods, autumnal colors and murals of vineyard scenes celebrating the Golden State's wine-producing regions. The restaurant's wine cellar boast 600 vintages, most from California.
The Food
An ambitious menu showcases innovative California ingredients like mineshaft-ripened blue cheese, Sierra golden trout and grapevine-smoked salmon. Starters like goat cheese-stuffed grape leaves in a creamy roast pepper sauce and a rich portobello mushroom bisque "cappuccino" gilded by a brandied thyme-froth jump-start the taste buds. Main courses further enthrall: Yellowtail is perfectly grilled, then bathed in creamy, tart-sweet mango sauce; prime rib pork loin--two ribs deep, steeped in a complex "chaparral" sauce (a blend of sage, rosemary, thyme and cayenne)--earns its signature status. Ultrarich chocolate pâté falls somewhere between mousse and a flour-less chocolate cake and is garnished with a dollop of sweet hazelnut cream.

I truely enjoy dining here. I had their preset tasting menu on my last visit and it was exquisite. The rabbit bratwurst was great and something that was new to me and the short ribs are out of this world as well. Their wine list is good I would prefer a few more selections but for its size, its outstanding. Also the wine knowledge of the staff is great.

Everything was really wonderful about this place...food, wine list, decor, and service. I had the Grilled 16oz Pork "Porterhouse" Chop and it was excellent and the wine went perfectly with the entree. There was an unexpected delay with the dessert, but the waiter was very attentive and he brought us free dessert drinks, which were great. (We didn't even ask him for it but he brought it anyway)
Pros: Food & wine, service, decor
Cons: None (yeah it's pricey but well worth it)
