Dining of Anaheim, California
Foscari Italian Cuisine on East La Palma is generally believed to be one of the most romantic and elegant dining establishments in Anaheim. It displays the hallmarks of the best in Italian dining: subtle flavors, unobtrusive but attentive service, and an extraordinarily simple and inviting, candlelit dining room.
Mr. Stox on East Katella Avenue is?and there is honestly no other way to put this ? really expensive. It is, however, both excellent and consistent. The only thing more vast than the menu choices is the wine cellar, which stocks a choice of more than 20,000 bottles of wine. Someone, at some point, must have experienced at least a minor disappointment at Mr. Stox, but there is no record of it.
The Anaheim White House Restaurant on South Anaheim Boulevard is a surprisingly controversial dining establishment. Some regard it as a ?fine dining? experience and others as a fine dining-themed, ordinary dining experience. The menu is geographically focused in the northern Italy/southern France region, but the restaurant gets overly cute at times with its presidential references (White House, get it?) and the kitchen sometimes extends the all-white d?cor of the building?s interior into the menu planning, at the expense of good taste.
The Napa Rose in Disney?s Grand Californian Hotel is sort of the opposite of The Anaheim White House. While the White House is a theme-park interpretation of fine dining, the Napa Rose offers a truly fine oasis of California cuisine in the midst of the theme park business. Executive Chef Andrew Sutton, formerly of Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley, builds his seasonal menus around the finest and freshest of California ingredients: local produce, farm-raised meats, San Francisco shellfish, and cheeses from Sonoma. Several Master level sommeliers are always available among the dining room staff to assist with selections from the nearly one thousand cellared wines and the constantly changing selection of about sixty by-the-glass wines, most of which are California vintages.
