Since I don’t see any posts on Napa Rose on FTC, please allow me to remedy this situation.
Located inside the Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel is some of the best food and QPR Disney has to offer even though that’s not saying much! By dining at Napa Rose, you may drop off your car at the hotel’s complimentary valet which allows you to skip out the disgustingly busy parking lot of Downtown Disney and Disney’s main parking lot.
Now onto the restaurant itself. First of all, you would probably want to dine at the “secret” chef’s counter. It’s $100 for 5 - 6 courses where each of your party, 3 in my case, gets a unique dish and thereby allowed me to sample 16 different items on this night (We requested the same course for course #2). Optional wine pairing is another $55 with very generous pours. Secondly, by dining at the chef’s table, you get to see where the magic actually happens since it’s a wide open kitchen and you’re encouraged to interact the the kitchen staff. It’s a really fun experience. Lastly, they do NOT skimp out on the portions. By the end of the night, you’ll realize that it’s an insane amount of food they give you. I nearly needed someone to carry me out of the restaurant. 
Now on to the food. Since this visit was over a year ago, I don’t quite remember the details of each dish. However, what I do remember is that the food in general was very solid. You won’t see anything ground-breaking happening here in terms of techniques or unique combination of flavors but each dish, with the exception of the mediocre desserts, were a solid 7.5 - 8 out of 10 for me. Your fish might be a hair overcooked or your meat might be a touch under-cooked but I’m just splitting hair here with these minor execution flaws. I would rate this slightly higher than Kali’s chef’s counter even though I’ve had good memories there.
The chef’s counter at Napa Rose is really an excellent introduction to the world of tasting menus. Each person’s “menu” is tailored to your preference not unlike omakase at a good Sushiya. You may request certain protein to be included and cooked a temperature you prefer.
Considering the QPR, it’s a no brainer to dine here. Highly Recommended!
Note: It was difficult for me to keep track of the name/ingredients of each course since we get 3 dishes at the same time so there are plenty of pictures captioned with “Don’t remember”

from all of us. Perfectly cooked scallop with a nice use of carrot 3-ways.
We were still full the next day. But we very much enjoyed ourselves, the food, wine, watching the chefs at work and listening to them discuss the dishes, sourcing, and their culinary path and experiences. All a treat. We all agreed that Napa Rose is not reinventing the culinary wheel, but it’s a very solid and very enjoyable meal. We definitely recommend it.

eating scale. That does seem like a lot of food for a tasting menu. 3 meat dishes, the rabbit sausage and lamb cheeks.
