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 had a great time but I was disappointed in my order. I had the barbecue tofu, I know dumb choice but I like tofu. The dish was really terrible because they put a too sweet terrible tasting barbecue sauce on the tofu. I was really hungry so ate it anyway. But they really need to change the dish. I thought there would be nice greens under the tofu but it was mostly rice in the terrible barbecue sauce. My husband had the GARGANELLI with boar sugo and it was good. We enjoyed the broccolini and the room is beautiful . Just don’t order the barbecued tofu.

Top notch steak: even though I know I know what I'm going to get, Im still so impressed. The staff is family, the greetings are warm, the smiles genuine. Ribeye is the best I've had in the United States!
