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.

I'm embarrassed! I first went to M & F's in the late 70s. Over the years, I've gone with clients, friends, and family. Sunday, November 24th, I took my wife for her birthday, we were early, so we sat at the bar for a little bit. The bartenders were 2 very sweet young ladies. I mentioned to them that I've never seen such young waiters and bartenders working here. They then stated that last year, they were the 1st women to be hired in the 104-year history of M & F's. I then told them both how embarrassed I was to not notice in all the years that there weren't any women working there prior to them. They made one excellent vodka martini and a wonderful non-alcoholic drink for my wife. Love Musso-Frank's still.

I hosted my 40th birthday at the Sunset Tower Bar, and it was flawless. Stunning sunset views, oysters, champagne, truffle fries, and a perfectly cooked steak—every detail was spot on. The vibe was chic, the service seamless, and the night unforgettable. Can’t wait to go back!

Lovely night. Service was fabulous. Food was terrific. Lots of complex tastes and prep. They never make things "normally." Special. If you want a quiet experience, make sure to ask for the back dining room. Upstairs would probably be quiet too. Louder and livelier in the front room.
