Birthday Dinner at Napa Rose

Hi guys! So guess who's birthday it was last week? Yours truly! ^^ Since my actual birthday was on a work day, the boyfriend and I, let's just call him Mr. M from now on, celebrated it on the 4th of July. Something about Mr. M that you should know is that he cannot keep a secret or surprise to safe his life. So two weeks prior, he blurted out "Arghhh! I can't keep it in anymore! We're going to Napa Rose on the 4th to celebrate your birthday!!!" Hahaha! And something you should know about me? I don't care much for surprises unless it is executed perfectly, so of course I was thrilled! Napa Rose is a fine dining restaurant inside the Grand Californian Hotel. Mr. M actually took me here for the first time on my 21st birthday, so this place holds a special place in my heart.

Friends of ours came here last month and actually did the Chef's Counter. It is when you sit in or next to the kitchen, the Chef will ask you if you have any food allergies or anything you don't particularly like, and will surprise you with dishes of his or her choice! It sounded so exciting so I told Mr. M to please take me there for my birthday, but at the time he didn't say anything. So I guess it was kind of a surprise... Here are our six course journey through Napa Rose's Chef's Counter. Enjoy!
