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.

    Our favorite neighborhood spot. The food is always extraordinary. We had couple of less than stellar experiences out of many the were, in fact, stellar. Lately and especially yesterday, the experience was fantastic. Everyone was friendly. The service was paced perfectly. We took friends from out of town to experience Saffy’s and they could not stop raving about every dish. We all had a hard time picking the best of the night. Great spot. Highly recommended. RG.

    We ordered the prime rib and it was delicious. It was very tender. The prime rib was prepared the way we ordered it and the sides (creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding) were wonderful. We enjoyed our meal and our service was friendly and attentive.

    I will come back again and again and again for that branzino. It’s next level, like death row meal status. The drinks are good, but definitely heavy on the mezcal (and pre-made so no substituting). The service was great - we sat at the ceviche bar, so it was really fun to watch the chefs do their thing. The yellowtail and toro sashimis were so fresh and light, and the Magdalena had perfectly balanced flavors. Vibes were immaculate too. Can’t wait to go back!
