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.

Wonderful brunch at Red Bird. We enjoyed the service and the food very much. It is so nice to relax and enjoy good food in a beautiful setting without feeling rushed. The menu is a great mix of sweet and savory items; the portions are ample enough to share if you feel like a bite of both. Looking forward to returning soon.

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!

Staff friendly, professional, and made us feel welcome. There was a beautiful Asian woman who I believe is the manager—she’s outstanding! Our server was a beautiful Latina who was elegant, professional, and attentive. As a black woman, I felt very welcome and appreciated the female and multicultural representation. I will be back🤓

Traxx offers good value for the money in an historic setting amid the vaulted ceilings of LA’s Union Station. The companion bar across the way makes good cocktails. They are open 11 to 8 and Traxx is for lunch or an early dinner.
