Tam O'Shanter Los Angeles Reviews
Excellent primeRib bone-in medium-rare.
Service kinda rush. Took our food away without asking; we had made sure utensils weren't at 4 o'clock mind you...Debating whether we should order our primeRibs rare & heat up at home to medium-rare to enjoy at home!

It's been many years since we last dined at the Tam O'Shanter. Their limited-time meat-lovers special dinner was the hook that reeled us in. For $69 per person, we had a Caesar salad, prime rib, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, creamed s
Wonderful atmosphere and food.
It's a shame that our waiter Greyson was rude and rushing us. We were celebrating an occasion and when we asked to see the dessert menu he told us the kitchen was closed. For the next 15 minutes I see another waiter pass out menus to the room an

We walked in on a Friday night without reservations and were able to be seated at the bar right away. The seats and table were cozy and intimate. Our food came out RIGHT AWAY! Not even 5-10 minutes. Food was good, service was excellent, valet parking
Good food
I had a prime rib sandwich with creamed spinach. Everything was delicious, especially the spinach. I also had the scotch rarebit and it was very spicy. Our server was Sarah and she was great.

I used to go here often but the amount of prime rib given for the price is not even close to the larger amounts I get at comparable fancy restaurants.. Too bad as the atmosphere is good..

This place is an old staple of los feliz a great place to get a prime rib meal and be close to walt disneys energy
Been meaning to go here for ages.
Lovely place. Shame the food was meh. After getting my order correct, I got a dry, fairly tasteless burger and tiny little shoestring fries. Not what I'd expect in a pub. Especially for the price $$

Went a few times for lunch and both times our party tried the fish and chips and both times it was a big disappointment! For a pub to serve terrible fish and chips was not good! Small pieces of overcooked fish with masses of fries to compensate. I wo
The OG of the "Prime Rib".
You can never go wrong with this place. It's an LA staple. Wonderful atmosphere. Great service, amazing whiskey selection. And great lunch menu. It's my to go spot when I need a good prime rib.

3.5/5 stars. Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. The ambiance is super cute inside. The waiter explained that the restaurant was Walt Disney's favorite, and inspired Snow White, so those were fun facts! Service was slow, as it took over an

Amazing place! I've lived here all my life and never came here until today. I brought my 76 year old dad here for his birthday and unfortunately we didn't have reservations. Donna went out of her way to somehow squeeze us in and it was one

The food and drink are always dependably good at the Tam, but my favorite is a meal on the patio. It is so lovely outside in LA to enjoy good food and atmosphere.

There is a reason that the Tam has been around for over 103 years! Food and service are solid and you can't beat the ambiance.
Often imitated, but never replicated.
..the Tam O'Shanter is a delightful step into the past. This is what your new "local pub," built into what probably was a Radio Shack, tries to be, but ultimately fails because you'll never feel the weight of its history just by o

We booked online for 3 for dinner and they didn't show our res. Hmm. Ok. Eventually get sat outside patio which was nice. Then sun sets and there's zero lighting and can't see our food. No bueno. The food itself was 3.5. Not bad n
This place is charming and has been around a long time.
Our friend that lives here locally took us here and the traditional European decor inside is quite charming. The food is excellent. I had the Salmon and it was cooked just right. It was soft but not raw. I don't like it when it's a bit

I cannot recommend this place enough! My husband and I went here a couple weeks ago for our anniversary. Their prime rib is to die for! Everything we had ordered was incredible. Pricing was definitely not bad considering it's a Lawry's esta

Just finished dinner here and left very disappointed.
The food was just okay, and I won't be coming back. I had to approach the hostess myself to ask for a kids' menu--at first she said they didn't have one, then eventually pulled one from a drawer. When she seated us, she handed out only

One thing I love about LA is that we're spoiled with unique eateries, and Tam O'Shanter is one of those gems. Walking in, you immediately feel like you've been transported into a warm little pub in England. They're owned by Lawry
We sat at the Walt table.
Such a great experience! Our server was so knowledgeable. I didn't know they own and started Lawry's! The food was good. The Lawry's experience is better. We definitely want to go back and try the other foods. We did get the burnt en
Ambiance of this place is incredible.
Love it. I obviously ordered the prime rib and it was good (I ate the whole thing) but I've had better prime rib for sure. The service is ok. Overall, I would come back and do love this place.
Must See LA Experience!
I've been meaning to come to the Tam O'Shanter for years and finally made it! This is the type of quirky place that you just have to give 5 stars just due to the fact that there's nothing else like it! You have to visit at least once
awful experience
not good!! bad service and raw food! waiter was unbelievably rude, portion sizes were small and prices were astronomical
Great ambiance and history
I had the brisket platter; another had the corned beef platter and another in our party had the burnt ends. All three of us enjoyed our meals immensely. The place has great ambiance and history (a favorite of Walt Disney). I would return next time
Tasty but slow
The food was good, service was slow. The wait for three simple menu items was extremely long. They got our drinks and soup (the French onion soup is excellent) out quickly, but after that it was a wait. It wasn't extremely busy at the time.
One L.A's. best prime rib restaurant in an Old English setting.
Cozy, Classy, Pub atmosphere serving Prime Rib and all the trimmings for more than 50 years in the same location. Valet parking. Bar serves a vast selection of scotch. Interesting appetizers, nice choice of salads and other starters. Menu has somethi

Okay this place is such a gem! Firstly it is very easy to get reservations on open table. I highly recommend making a reservation because they do have limited availability due to the size of the restaurant. Now we did learn their bar area is open sea

I visited this restaurant on Father's Day, which was likely a factor in my less-than-ideal experience due to the high volume of diners. Unfortunately, my food was cold and bland. The waitress, who was very apologetic, mentioned she was assigned table
Wonderful staff across the board.
Very accommodating ( they made sure we got the coveted table 31) and the food was great. A great restaurant for night out
Went for the first time for Father's day.
I had high expectations as I'm a huge fan of Lawry's in Beverly Hills and Five Crowns in Newport Beach. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming on across the board. They seemed to be understaffed and the hostess and waiters seemed frazzled. The food w
Ordered Burnt ends and creamed spinach at the bar.
Food was barely edible and service was meh.
The service was wonderful.
I order French onion soup. It was nothing but water-down soup. They replaced it with lobster chowder that was watery and had no flavor. The mashed potatoes didn't taste like anything without the gravy. The prime rib was okay. The beer was good, lol

Not recommendable
The restaurant is located near Lake Hollywood Park. With easy parking (paying $10), the historic establishment is located in a beautiful building with a garden. Well decorated place, with a lot of service, but little organized. Cleaning very improv
Excellent Prime Rib
We love Lawry's, so thought we'd give her sister restaurant a try. Friendly, expedient service and excellent prime rib dinner, as expected. Nice patio dining experience. Good alternative if you want the Lawry's food without the dress-up experience
So So Food & Service
We were there with a large group tour of Disney fans who wanted to see where Walt lunched with colleagues. Hope it was better when Walt was hanging out there! The service was poor--rushed, inattentive, barely acknowledging us as they dropped off th
Connect with users posting reservations for Tam O'Shanter Los Angeles
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Tam O'Shanter Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Tam O'Shanter Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Tam O'Shanter Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Tam O'Shanter Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Tam O'Shanter Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
