Booked 55 times today
Opened in June 1922, The Tam O'Shanter boasts a rich, storied history and warm, inviting atmosphere. We’re proud to be in our 10th decade of continuous service. We originally considered it a quiet pastoral road stop, since Los Feliz Boulevard was just an unpaved country lane traversed by rabbits and rabbit hunters, in that order.Everything changed when Walt Disney and his animators, set designers, and crews began trekking out between takes for a bite and a refreshment. So often, in fact, that the Tam was once dubbed “The Studio Commissary.”Join us and see why the Tam is said to have been Walt’s favorite restaurant!As a family-run establishment, we’re committed to keeping our community safe. We always practice strong hygiene protocols and rigorously adhere to all CDC food safety standards.

    Definitely one of my top 10 places to eat after my first visit. We had the house made buttermilk ricotta, squid ink spaghetti, cavatelli, and the branzino. They were all so delicious and I have zero complaints. Additionally, I had two glasses of wine which paired well with the meal. My husband had a mezcal cocktail and it was perfectly balanced. The music was great, that staff seemed happy and had a wonderful dynamic amongst each other. This will be my go-to spot for a nice dinner. Definitely make reservations in advance!

    5 stars!!! Great Service, Food & ambiance! Lorena was very welcoming, her energy is so fulfilling! I'd definitely come here again. She made my first time experience so amazing! Thank you Lorena! One of the best places for brunch/dinner dates! If you come here don't forget to check out their rooftop bar. They have very nice bartenders and delicious drinks. My favorite bartender Ruben took care of my party the whole night. By far one of the best bartenders I've encountered. Thank you again Lorena and Ruben! Very awesome staff & service. Would definitely recommend.

    Really awesome experience! Maria S was our server and she was the sweetest. It was my mom’s bday and we just decided to go for lunch. Didn’t realize there wasn’t valet parking for lunch so went in circles trying to figure out parking - park in the visitor underground parking garage of the US bank building. Restaurant will validate 2 hours of parking for $10 (instead of $40). Loved all the food. Ceviche was fresh, the pasta appetizer felt like a huge portion, hanger steak and smashed fried potatoes were divine, and the seared ahi tuna over veggies/salad was refreshing and light. The view is grand and made the meal feel so worth it.
