• American • Los Feliz
Booked 52 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.

    The Tam is a classic, well loved restaurant. We’ve been coming here for years enjoying the festive holiday atmosphere and old world charm. Today’s holiday lunch was a disappointment, unfortunately. The service was good, our server was cheerful, friendly and attentive. No issues there. The food however, was not good. The Christmas Turkey was dry and not tender, and the portion was surprisingly small. Three thinly sliced less than two inches wide portions that wouldn’t even fit a sandwich. The stuffing was extremely salty and just not good. It was bad. The vegetables on the side were over cooked and looked like they were thrown on the plate instead of carefully prepared on the plate. I was surprised at the low quality of the food and presentation. My lunch partner was pleased with his meal, the brisket plate, which saved our lunch from being a complete disappointment.

    We went for Sunday brunch and sat out on their nice patio. It wasn’t very crowded. We were seated right away and our server came up right away to assist us and she was lovely. We ordered drinks, and espresso martini, and their highlighted cocktail, which was excellent. We ordered the Mediterranean platter and we were able to exchange the Labneh for muhamara since my friend was lactose intolerant. The waitress was very cognizant of that and made sure that nothing had dairy in it. We also ordered the Cleopatra salad and that was really nice. We had the olive oil cake for dessert and it was nice and moist and sweet. Overall, an excellent meal and I hope to be back.
