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.

Incredible food! We had the burrata with persimmons and celery, grilled prawns (Amazing!!!!!), short ribs and broccolini. Everything was so flavorful and beautifully paired flavors. Best broccolini I’ve ever had. Will return again. Everything was perfect for sharing.

Went for my anniversary and overall it was great. The staff were attentive and the vibes definitely fit with the occasion. Food was great, tried something new such as escargot and steak tar tar. For me it was okay I wanted to try it but to others it’s probably better, Still was fun to try. Live music so it was a bit loud and hard to hear my boyfriend but it was still a fun experience. Expected to pay a lot more than I did so that was a surprise to see. I’d definitely go there again to try more of their menu.

Wow, coming from a first generation Italian family with a Mom who is the “heavy weight champion” of authentic Italian fare. This meal was epoch. We need DRAGO in Boston!! I will always come back here when I am any where near LA. Service, class and perfection all around the table… Erik Santucci

It was my birthday dinner and I was thrilled when we got seated at Walt's famous table. Service was wonderful and the food was delicious and memorable. The restaurant was beautiful by itself, but we were fortunate enough to come when it was decorated for the holidays, which added to the overall experience. I had only heard that Tam O' Shanter was great, but now I know that to be true and am definitely looking forward to going again!
