Charming
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

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.

Goose was actually bad and tough, clearly outside of chef’s wheel house. Lamb stew and prime rib and vegetables great. Chocolate on sundae wasn’t good. Entertainment was fantastic. Staff terrific.

The food is always so delicious and we love the ambiance. We had lunch and then ended up stopping at the bar for a cocktail when we realized we had some extra time.

This was my second time dining at the Tam O’Shanter. My party of 5 was seated outside (Jan 2025) and it was chilly but we had ample heat with the the portable heater & we were seated by the fireplace. I love coming here because of the ambience and the food. My party ordered drinks (Pimm’s Cup) that were just right. I ordered the prime rib & it was cooked to perfection. We also ordered the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. It was good but I could pass on it - was a bit on the drier side. The service was good. The server was attentive, our water was refilled often, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. There was a mishap with the bill but it was sorted out quickly. I enjoy coming here and will always come back.

Food was lukewarm. Meat was tough with way too much fat. Been going here for 30’years and quality was not as usual.
