Tortoise Club - Chicago

I was completely blown away. This place was a last minute planning and I was so pleasantly surprised. From the staff, to the service, to the food it was all amazing. If you Love Italian and looking for a wonderful place to take someone you can stop your search.

I do not know why they kept this open if they are close and after arriving in an Uber which cost 35.00 to discover that it was close.

So bad. It pains me to write a bad review considering the state of the restaurant industry right now but this was so bad. They had the bartender waiting tables and bartending, granted there were not many people in there but 6 tables and ppl at the bar is too many ppl for 1 person to handle. My friend and I ordered the margarita on their special cocktail list and it was disgustingly sweet. But it took him so long to get back to us that we just drank them. We ordered the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and it came out with 5 small shrimp with jarred cocktail sauce. For $19.99 I can't believe we didn't get so much as a lemon wedge… and 5 shrimp? Come on. We asked for lemon and again it took so long we had eaten the tiny shrimp. She ordered the roast amish chicken which tasted like it was freezer burnt. I got the pork chop which came with a sauce that was super salty. It wasn't worth complaining bc again he didn't come back to check on us for at least 20 mins… The cocktails were supposed to be half off (HH) but we were charged full price. Overall terribly disappointing and SO expensive. Would not recommend at all

I have dined at Tortoise many times. Each time a delightful experience. Food never disappoints. Love the old time elegant atmosphere. Service thus far has always been attentive and quite friendly. My last visit was October 23, 2020. Thank you Tortoise for making my birthday special.

Great time, food and service was excellent. Thanks!
