Reviews for Tortoise Supper Club in Chicago, IL
I had the most pleasant time at Tortoise Supper Club, and I highly recommend coming in on Jazz night which is an absolute blast.... We had excellent service from Luke, who is a veteran at the restaurant. Oysters were nice from the east coast, and theirsignature bread is one of the best in the city. The atmosphere was dark, but still well lit giving an intimate setting. Ask tosit in their Red Room for a little extra privacy and exclusivity. Their entrees are my favorite, and the Chilean Sea Bass isvery flavorful. Also incredible cocktails that have unique tastes and even have history lessons under the name and ingredients.Overall, great date night spot, and love the feeling of a crossover between New Orleans and New York City restaurant.

Love the live jazz, friendly atmosphere and staff, great meal portions for a very satisfying meal. Top shelf wines. The owner is... nice too. Chicago parking is a hassle so enjoy staying a while to enjoy the music and wine selection. Read more
WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!! We had a great dinner celebrating our friends birthday until a spider found its way into my drink.... We tried to handle the situation politely with our waitress and she was very respectful and told us she would speak with therestaurant manager. They decided to only discount parts of our bill even though we told them we weren't comfortable paying it.We eventually got to speak with the manager ourselves however he was very disrespectful, rude, not understanding at all andwalked away from our table mid-conversation. Me and my party recommend you avoid this restaurant at all costs!!!!! Read more
This place is a hidden gem! We were looking for live music & came here because it was right next to our hotel & it advertised... live music on Fridays & Saturdays. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles & warm, welcoming staff. I thinkthe owner even came up to us to ask us if we wanted a table to dine in or just listen to the music in the lounge. We got a tableright in front of the band. The atmosphere is intimate, cozy, romantic & seems straight out of a movie! The waitstaff wear whitecollared shirts & black bow ties & the vibe seems formal but fun & celebratory. We were definitely dressed super casual & sowere other guests. We had already eaten dinner so we tried a few apps & everything was delicious! We got the shrimp scampi dip,some fresh oysters & the twice baked potato. Their signature cocktails were excellent! We tried many of them: south side (myfavorite), bee’s knees, antique whiskey sour, tortoise punch, & blood orange harpoon. Autumn, our server was amazing & wasalways checking on us. The entire wait staff was very attentive & worked like a well oiled machine. The coat check guy Raymondcame to grab our coats & also took a few pictures for us! They really know how to make their guests feel special & appreciated.I highly recommend this independently owned supper club for live jazz music, great food, fun atmosphere & terrific service!

We have been to Tortoise Club many, many times and absolutely loved our experiences so it was a no brainer to host our rehearsal... dinner in their beautiful space. We couldn’t of been happier with the planning process and execution of the event. Kelli is anabsolute dream to work with and made planning a breeze. She was helpful and responsive at all times. Our guests were floored bythe food, the staff, and the live jazz! It was the perfect kick off to our Chicago wedding weekend and I wish we could go backand do it again. I wouldn’t change a thing if we could because Tortoise Club was nothing short of perfect. Cannot stressenough how you should host your event here! Read more
We had never heard of the restaurant despite it being three blocks from my office and being sconnie supper club lovers. I mean,... it doesn’t have the price tag of the back woods but the menu and presentation are legit. Definitely steakhouse atmosphere butenjoyable. The relish tray was great, the grasshopper was great. My only complaint was the Ny strip wasn’t as tender as I hadhoped for wet aged. Service excellent. Will repeat. Read more
