New À La Carte Menu Debuts at Napa Rose in Disneyland Resort

What's new

Napa Rose, the signature dining location at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, has introduced a new à la carte menu in its main dining room. This option is offered in addition to the restaurant's existing prix fixe menu, allowing guests to select individual dishes rather than a set multi-course meal. According to Disney, the change "provides diners with more flexibility to build the culinary journey of their choosing."

The menu features seasonal ingredients for Fall 2026. New selections include:

* First Courses: Autumn pear and goat cheese tart, diver scallops with applewood smoked bacon emulsion, and an apple and endive salad with tangerine-cider vinaigrette.

* Second Courses: Olive oil-poached red snapper, truffle potato gnocchi with delicata squash, and an Orvia duck "crisp cannolo."

* Entrées: Hazelnut-crusted Kurobuta pork loin, Creekstone Farms filet mignon with braised short rib, and a saddle of Colorado lamb with Medjool date mole.

* Tableside Presentations: Large-format dishes designed for sharing, including a 32 oz Black Angus Prime Tomahawk ribeye and a roasted whole Mediterranean sea bream with green Thai curry.

* Desserts: Seasonal sweets such as an heirloom pumpkin dessert with molasses crumble and a brown butter croissant "Apple Orchard" with cold-smoked vanilla ice cream.

Additionally, the Napa Rose bar and lounge has updated its own distinct menu. New lounge items include a Burgundy truffle duck melt, Hawaiian ahi tuna tataki, and baked Salt Spring mussels with nduja butter.

When and where

These updates are currently available at Napa Rose, located inside Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa at the Disneyland Resort. The menus reflect the Fall 2026 season. While the main dining room typically requires reservations, the bar and lounge area accepts walk-ins based on current availability.

What it means for your visit

The addition of an à la carte menu in the main dining room makes Napa Rose a more viable option for guests who prefer a lighter meal or a shorter dining experience compared to the traditional prix fixe format. However, as a signature dining location, reservations remain highly recommended and can be made through the Disneyland website or app.

If you are unable to secure a reservation, the bar and lounge area is a practical alternative. Since walk-ins are encouraged there, arriving early in the evening—typically right when the lounge opens—is the best strategy to secure a seat without a long wait. The lounge menu now includes substantial entrées like the Tomahawk ribeye and roasted half chicken, meaning you can experience the restaurant's high-end cuisine in a more casual setting.

Visitors should note that all menu items are subject to change based on seasonal availability. If you are planning a dinner here, check the official Disneyland app on the day of your visit to view the most current pricing and selections.
