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.

    I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Blackberry Bliss, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for a fantastic meal. The service was impeccable—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and catered to our every need. Now, let’s talk about the food—simply outstanding! Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with fresh flavors and beautifully presented. Angel hair pasta with truffle was a standout, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation was truly remarkable. To top it all off, the dessert was a dream! Dubai chocolate was the perfect sweet ending to an already incredible meal. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience, look no further. BB is a true gem, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommended!

    We ordered the prime rib and it was delicious. It was very tender. The prime rib was prepared the way we ordered it and the sides (creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding) were wonderful. We enjoyed our meal and our service was friendly and attentive.
