Travis TindellDecember 21, 2017Best dining experience in Chicago. Classic cocktails, Jazz music, grasshoppers, just perfect ambiance. We had New York strip and surf & turf (lobster ravioli and short rib). It was too die for.
Jane LeeSeptember 19, 2015Had a Devine meal Asiago crisps were wonderful The Short ribs were inhaled pork chops perfect Moet in the old time glassware
BiancaAugust 3, 2019Old school jazz bar, great atmosphere, fantastic food - try the oysters and the roasted bone marrow. One of the best places in town- Christopher FlossOctober 15, 2016The dollar shrimp is a great appetizer. Great bar ambiance with live jazz on Fridays at 7:30!
Paul CrosbyNovember 30, 2014Must have the cherry pie for dessert. One of the best pies I've had in years. The cherry flavor just pops!
Time Out ChicagoMarch 20, 2013The burger here passes the ultimate test: The flavorful beef, a house blend, would be good sans condiments. But it’s even better with just a hint of pickles, red-wine onions, aioli and Uplands cheddar Read more
Great cocktail program and supper club ambience. 1/2 off Craft Cocktails in the bar on Wednesdays.
Get appetizers to share. Love the steak tartare, smoked trout spread, and baked crab dip.
Chad CurryOctober 6, 2015The meatloaf was wonderful. The Worcestershire is made in house and was a wonderful complement to the beef.
Jyoti GillApril 11, 2016Come on Wednesdays. Half priced cocktails Wednesday 4-7:30pm. $1 oysters & $1 shrimp Monday-Friday 4:30-6:30.- Julie AndrusykDecember 13, 2016The Kale and Quinoa Salad with shredded chicken is out of this world good.
Kevin M. McNally, CMPAugust 20, 2018Accented by Live Jazz, this is definitely a must experience restaurant. Apps, Entrees and the Dessert (Cherry Pie) you are going to love this club. YUM.
NathanJanuary 26, 2016The waitstaff absolutely made this experience. Cocktails are creative, give one a try!
Matthew SupertJune 6, 2015If you are doing dinner and a show at a nearby theatre they will valet your car for free.
Michael SheehanDecember 23, 2012Pork chop was out of this world, risotto was amazing and you have to get 2 orders of the Cauli Mac, or whatever it's called. Extremely good!
- Time Out ChicagoJune 19, 2013This summer, Tortoise Club takes advantage of its prime location with 20 additional seats on the State Street sidewalk. http://tmout.us/lKTEo Read more
Roger SchonfeldJuly 3, 2013Fantastic service and excellent steak. Oysters disappointed in late June.
Doug CouchMarch 12, 2023Make a late dinner reservation of 7:00 or 7:30 on Sunday and stay for the jazz band
Mark BoettcherNovember 19, 2017The relish tray is updated old school. The prime rib and rib eye were better than the filet and new york strip.
Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014Even at 6 p.m., this sultry restaurant gives off a late-night vibe. Read more

- Old school private club atmosphere. I can eat the sides all day.
- Moe DexlerMarch 12, 2020Watch out. The nuts on the relish tray are fried I. The same oil as the calamari.
Andre GordilloNovember 27, 2013DO NOT GO ON A SUNDAY NIGHT...unless you want the restaurant all to yourself. Place was absolutely dead. We arrived at 7:15 and there were 3 other tables plus ours.
- Now they close at 12AM on Friday and Satuarday. I love the Jazz on Friday better. Anyhow. Still great jazz place. The drink is good but not amazing.
Tina WachelFebruary 10, 2014Pork chops came too rare, server never asked how dishes were so couldn't send back. Disappointed.
