Restaurants come and go all the time in Southern California. It seems like it’s almost every day that a new, trendy restaurant opens to the masses. However, there are some spots that have stuck around due to the fact that they continue to serve up mighty fine food, like a little place in Los Angeles called Tam O’Shanter. This Scottish steakhouse is one of the oldest in the city, first opening in 1922. (The oldest restaurant in California has been around since 1849) In addition to its rich history, this restaurant continues to serve hearty fare that always hits the spot! If you don’t have Tam O’Shanter on your dining bucket list already, you’ll want to be sure to add it.
