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.

Almost a month ago, Dtagon was lovely to assist with getting clarification on the reservations and updating it to more people and arranging a nice table. When we arrived for Christmas, the host and hostess took care to sort out my guests and made us all feel Welcome. we asked for some special request so we could take pictures with our glasses and champagne and they accommodate it and we’re most helpful. The food was great, we had a lovely time and will definitely be back.! A lovely start to our Christmas Day!

I’ve been going to Drago’s for over 10 years - or at least from the time the restaurant first opened. Most of the time it never disappoints. I’ve been for holidays, lunches, dinners and even celebrated my birthday in one of the private rooms. The food is always exceptional as well as the service. I was there for Christmas Eve dinner and the food was good but not exceptional. The service was not up to their normal - we had to ask for more water twice and had to ask for a second cocktail twice. We’ll give it another try after the first of the year in hopes that the restaurant was just off because of Christmas Eve and it was crowded - just hoping that was the case.
