2027 has been a chaotic year for Disneyland Resort’s premier restaurant. Napa Rose reopened to the public in February after a lengthy refurbishment, offering a pricey but impressive prix fixe menu. About a month later, Chef Andrew Sutton surprisingly left the company after being the Culinary Director of Signature Restaurants at Disneyland Resort. He played a big role in Napa Rose’s remodel.

As 2026 is reaching an end, the restaurant has now announced that they will be offering an à la carte menu in addition to their prix fixe offering. In this post, we’ll share the menu and seasonal items while adding our commentary on why we think Napa Rose is shifting their menu.

We’ll start with the ‘why’ behind this shift. I should say that this is all conjecture, but I don’t think it’s all that difficult to figure out. Napa Rose is not as popular as the resort was hoping for. There are reservations available for every night in the next 2 months, outside of New Year’s Eve. That’s a far cry from when the restaurant re-debuted in February.

This isn’t a total surprise. The $188 prix fixe menu is not exactly approachable for most people that visit Disneyland Resort. Napa Rose only needs to appeal to a small percentage of visiting guests plus locals but spending that much on a dinner will have almost anyone thinking twice about going. That’s not to say the meal wasn’t worth it, more that it’s a cost that people will balk at well before booking it.

It’s also a cost that prohibits return visits. Melissa and I dined at Napa Rose in late February and thought the experience was exceptional, specifically the early courses. It’d be a place that we’d love to go a couple of times each year to celebrate special occasions but that’s just unreasonable when the final bill is going to be over $400.

Introducing an à la carte menu should make the restaurant an option for more people. I’m sure Disney and the chef team at Napa Rose would rather just offer the prix fixe menu. That can promise nearly the same experience for every guest, adds an air of class to the restaurant, and, probably most importantly to the restaurant and Disneyland Resort, would make them the most money if the restaurant was constantly full.

Napa Rose’s popularity hasn’t reestablished itself though. The new smell wore off and the sticker shock stayed. We thought the restaurant’s look was a needed upgrade and looks beautiful. Hopefully, giving more price points will allow more people to enjoy Disneyland Resort’s best restaurant.

The worry with a change like this is that there will be a slip in quality. A Michelin Star seemed like the goal when Napa Rose reopened, now the goal seems to be filling the restaurant back up each night. It’s a hard balance to strike! We’ll see if this menu expansion will help, as most of the à la carte menu items are still on the prix fixe menu. I’m also curious how often this seasonal menu will switch. We’ll be keeping our eye on that.

Much of the menu below is still shared in different courses, which leads to the question of whether you have to order multiple courses in the à la carte menu? I wouldn’t think so, since that’s the opposite of what à la carte means but it is an interesting designation.

Let’s get to the new menu!

As usual, these look incredible! I’ll be interested in the different price points for items and am eager to see how this will impact Napa Rose’s popularity. We highly recommend the restaurant if you can afford it. Granted, that’s a big if. We aren’t rushing back there, at least until we win the lottery! But, hopefully these changes make Napa Rose more approachable to guests.
