Best Continental Restaurants in Toluca Lake

This hidden gem in Hollywood Blvd. If you blink you will miss it. Pass by it many times until today, wow what I been missing out all these years. The restaurant takes you back to an old Hollywood, it’s a time capsule full of memories of days gone by. Musso & Frank preserves the service and food quality traditions of the past when no cellular phone service was available. The hostess, waiter, busboy, chef all served their best. Steaks A-1, Drinks and wine A-1, ambiance A-1. Thank you, I will be back ;).

The Tam is always such a wonderful place to go during the holidays. The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere is so festive. My good friend and I have been coming for years and mainly for the Dickens carolers and this year did not disappoint! There were three groups performing around the restaurant and we were delighted to have at least a half dozen table-side performances. The service was good considering how busy it was and we both had the filet mignon, which was quite tender and flavorful. My friend’s was a bit undercooked, but our server took care of it and quickly returned it hot and cooked to her liking. If you’re looking for a place with good food and service and a joyous holiday spirit and beautifully sung Christmas carols, definitely check out the Tam.

What a great experience. Our server, Arwyn (spelling) was marvelous on all counts. I had the butternut squash soup, which was beautiful and delicious. For my entree, I had the bass…it was cooked perfectly, succulent with a crispy, well seasoned skin. We shared the Chestnut Rocks dessert, which was unique in both presentation and flavors. We’re so glad Arwyn recommended it. This restaurant isn’t cheap but well worth the expense, in my view.
