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.

    Loved both the space and the food.We had booked the lounge area which turned out to be a bad decision for daytime dining, however the staff were very accommodating and moved us to the main dining room filled with bright daylight and similarly well designed and decorated space. The food was delicious and so was the service. Would definitely recommend this venue.

    I visited Mrs. Fish in DTLA the night before Thanksgiving with friends, and we had an amazing time! The atmosphere was vibrant and unique, with its stunning underwater theme and the massive aquarium adding a cool, relaxing vibe to the space. The food and drinks were fantastic—every dish we tried was flavorful, and the cocktails were perfectly crafted. The service was attentive, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. She missed a couple of our orders but that’s understandable given she had other table to attend. The music and energy of the place were just right for a fun night out. It’s a great spot to catch up with friends, enjoy some good food, and soak in the lively downtown ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Have been to this tea numerous times and generally always enjoy it and feel satisfied. The tea sandwiches are always good. The tea selection was excellent, multiple delicious sounding black tea options. Don’t need fruity or green teas for high tea imo. The room is gorgeous, a fountain in the center. They used to have some couch seating but I don’t see it any more, just tables and chairs. The service was on point, we were the first ones there but our server brought things out very quickly which was nice. Everyone was friendly. Be warned parking/valet at the hotel is $30+ but you can prepay cash $25 and save a little.
