Tortoise Supper Club

Possibly our new favorite restaurant. This is a very special place. It seems there are a lot of regulars here , which is a good sign. The atmosphere couldn't be better. Love the low lit dining room and the chandeliers. Linda wa our faithful server a made our first time here very special. Thanks Linda! Second visit Tuesday 12-5. Catherine was our quick witted server who had us laughing within seconds of meeting her. She made the night for us. The menu is really great and unique, with old school items that we love. This restaurant/Jazz club/supper club has something that most other restaurants don't have. It's difficult to pinpoint it but it's something that is great and special and different.... Kinda magical. The experience is very exceptional and makes my wife and I feel very happy. It is officially our favorite restaurant in Chicago. Third visit and our server, Jorge, was a delight! Quick witted and never missing a beat. We sat in the Red room this time. This restaurant never ceases to amaze my wife and I. Thank you for such a an amazing and consistent wonderful experience!

This was a 10/10 dining experience! The server was great! Friendly, social, quick service, and her recommended appetizers, drinks, and desserts were all so delicious! The atmosphere was amazing, the food even better, and the feeling of being well taken care of was the icing on the cake. I’ve already made two more reservations to return, and I highly recommend this restaurant.

Moved to Chicago earlier this year and immediately started "researching" restaurants to dine at for my birthday for later on this year. Unfortunately, several of the restaurants weren't taking reservations until at least 30-60 days ahead, but when I came across the TSC I was intrigued. I was able to make the reservation in August even though the celebration wasn't until December. Why I made it so early was because my birthday falls during busiest time of the year with holiday/work parties and reservations fill up. When I did make the reservation the management of TSC were EXTREMELY accommodating. I wanted to order everything on the menu, everything looked delicious! I went with the Pan Seared Scallops (so happy I did!!) and I wasn't 100% sure I would like the green pea risotto so our server (Sergio) suggested I could substitute it with something else and I did with the mashed potatoes (omg they were delicious!!) Our party (there were 5 of us) even brought our own cake (the restaurant has a $4 cutting fee per person), and even though we knew about the charge beforehand, our server was so sweet, he knocked it off our bill completely! He was a hoot, loved his personality! They even had an operetta singer come over and sing me happy birthday!! I gotta say the Tortoise Supper Club is definitely in my TOP 5 favorite restaurants in the city - and I have tried about 30 of them since I moved here. It was a memorable evening, and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely! I will DEFINITELY be back!! Thank you!!

So happy I saw this place on Instagram and tried it. The food was crazy good the server was on the ball we had no issues and enjoyed our meal so much. For example I hateeeeeee fish and my friends convinced me to take a bite of the tuna steak appetizer and I actually really liked it. The only thing that was disappointing to me was the Mac and cheese side but I’d really recommend the mash potato!

Service was outstanding (I believe we had Madison). She was attentive, personable, and made great recommendations. We had the prime rib, sea bass, asparagus, mac & cheese, tortoise pie, pinot noir, and southside cocktail. Everything was delicious. We really appreciated that they were able to split the entrees into two separate portions so we could share. The live jazz music made the night even more amazing.
