Tortoise Supper Club

“Came here last year for Derrick Rose flower give away pop up event and meet & greet.”

Came here last year for Derrick Rose flower give away pop up event and meet & greet. Definitely a super solid location, man we had the line all backed down kinzie & around the corner. There was thousands and thousands of people stood in line, I was out here at 6am still had to wait for hours before I got in. It was a great time for the city showing up And showing the support for a local legend! Hope to see another event similar to this one, I thought the location was dope & it’s in a perfect spot to get people in & out while still having capacity to hold a crowd. Thanks Again Derrick! You know the city got your back 💯

“Everything was really fun.”

Everything was really fun. I really enjoyed it. The food was great. They did not have Jazz going on the night we were there but I bet that really escalates the atmosphere. I would definitely suggest this place to other people.

“Tortoise Supper Club offers a classy, upscale dining experience and bolsters the supper club...”

Tortoise Supper Club offers a classy, upscale dining experience and bolsters the supper club atmosphere with live jazz on Fridays and Saturdays. The food was on par with what I would expect from this type of restaurant (although there was a longer wait in between our starters and mains that became noticeable) and the service was good. With the plethora of steakhouses in Chicago it might be a while before I’m back but I would definitely visit again.

“Went here for my birthday, food was delicious and the service was exceptional.”

Went here for my birthday, food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Our server Linda was so kind and helpful, and she serenaded us for my birthday! We’ve already planned to come back over the holidays. Also make sure to get the mashed potatoes I have not stopped talking about them since.

“Tortoise Club is my favorite restaurant in Chicago.”

Tortoise Club is my favorite restaurant in Chicago. I come here every time I visit. Everything is always amazing, but I especially recommend the Beef Wellington. Very few restaurants offer Beef Wellington nowadays, so it is always a treat to see. Tortoise Club makes one of the best I've had! I also recommend visiting in October to try the succulent Pheasant Pie. If Fall was served on a plate, this would be it! For dessert, the items are again all amazing, but the cherry pie definitely takes the cake. For some reason, it is extremely hard to find a good rendition of cherry pie. Usually, the filling is overly sweet, or there are barely any cherries (rather a ton of syrup). Worse yet, sometimes restaurants put too much corn starch into the filling turning it into a congealed mess. The Tortoise Club, however, makes the PERFECT cherry pie. The cherries are bright and tart, the filling is mostly all cherries (very little syrup), yet the filling is still soft rather than congealed. Simply the best piece of pie I've had in recent memory. Moving on to the bar... They do not get cheap on the liquor in their house cocktails. They use top shelf liquors. The South Side cocktail had zero 'piney' taste from the gin. It was clearly a really high quality gin. The presentation was incredible, too. The bartenders also went out of their way to make a Chicago Fizz for me. Which is one of the drinks made famous in Chicago during the Prohibition era. It was not on the menu, but they made me an absolutely wonderful one. If you're lucky enough to dine here when they have live music, spend 30min at the bar before your reservation and savor the live jazz. Finally, the atmosphere of the Tortoise Club, combined with the unique and wonderful food, is what sets it apart from other Chicago establishments. It feels glamorous, yet approachable at the same time. Which is also reflected in the prices. It's not cheap by any means, but for the money, and considering the portions and experience, it is a much better value than many others in Chicago. Give it a try! Now, I need to figure out when my next trip to Chicago will be someone I can come back!

“We are from Pittsburgh, PA and decided we’d have a fun get-away weekend to Chicago.”

We are from Pittsburgh, PA and decided we’d have a fun get-away weekend to Chicago! We decided to try the tortoise supper club!! Just wow! The ambiance, the food!! We both had steak, it was on top of a sauce we both will be left dreaming of, with grilled onions! The whipped mashed potatoes were outstanding! The broccolini and rosemary frittes are a must!!! If you’re ever in downtown Chicago, this place is an absolute must!!! We’d give it 10 stars!!

“A perfect way to end a busy day in the Windy City.”

A perfect way to end a busy day in the Windy City. Classy with a warm atmosphere that draws you in. The menu offers something for everyone. The food was amazing. Beautifully plated which added to the experience. The staff made you feel welcomed and glad you chose their establishment to dine in. For me a restaurant is made by the level customer service, atmosphere, and dessert. This place nailed all three. If I had a first day or to bring in an executive, this would be the place I would go to. Make a point to stop in and enjoy some elegant class in the heart of the city.

“Tortoise Supper Club delivers a refined yet comfortable dining experience with its elegant ambiance...”

Tortoise Supper Club delivers a refined yet comfortable dining experience with its elegant ambiance and attentive service. From the moment you walk in, the warm, classic supper club atmosphere sets the tone for a great evening. The cocktails are well-crafted and perfectly balanced, making them a great start to the meal. Paired with crispy calamari, they set the right expectations for the rest of the dining experience. The highlight of the night was the Beef Wellington—expertly prepared, tender, and flavorful, complemented beautifully by a glass of Bordeaux. To finish, a cup of coffee alongside the peanut butter pie was a pleasant ending, though the dessert itself didn’t leave a lasting impression. While not a standout, it didn’t take away from the overall experience.

Went for dinner for the first time with my husband on Christmas Eve. WOW! Food and service were FANTASTIC! I can’t wait to come back and enjoy my birthday here. I just have one serious question- can I ever order some bread to go?
