Booked 48 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.

We had a lovely dining experience here! It's such a lovely setting and the food gave off spring vibes with the flavors, brightness and preparation. The portions were sized perfectly. The cocktails were fun and vivacious (all of their gin cocktails used Beefeater's which is a huge positive for me). Bring your sunglasses as it is a greenhouse. I highly recommend!
