Fantastic gem and historic location with casual elegance. Parking is limited, But they do have a small lot, which is covered by Valet Service for dinner. Menu is varied, but high quality that leans into rich old Hollywood history of location. Much of it is...Read More

Service, food and ambience is excellent! Been several times over the years, and never disappointed. First time for brunch, and as good as dinner. Best prime rib! French onion soup always a hit. Can’t go wrong with the bloody’s.

This is a favorite, special-occasion destination for us. This time we were celebrating a birthday. Reservations are recommended because the place is pretty much always busy. And if you book fast enough in advance, you can get “Walt’s table” where Walt Disney would frequently dine. This...Read More

I have to say, if I lived closer, I would be quite a regular at the Tam 'O Shanter. Not only is the food terrific (I like the Sheppard's Pie), but the main reason is one of the barkeeps, MARTIN! He not only keeps your...Read More

I've come to Tam O'Shanter's twice now on Disney themed trips. Both times we requested Table 31, which Disney buffs would know was Walt's table, and both times they accommodated our request! The service was great. Besides the thrill of eating where magic was made, the...Read More

Great comfort food. You might have to order ahead for the chocolate souffle (worth it!). I will say I was a bit disappointed at the fact they put maybe 1/2 the meat in the sandwiches that they used to. More bread than meat. At this...Read More
