This place was ok. I love the live music.. that's the best part for me. They have questions on the table to help with conversations. That's a nice touch. Staff were all nice and helped each other out. A dj came in later to play music and the music was great. It was just too loud. My guy and I had to keep repeating ourselves as we set right next to one another. Appetizers were good. Main course I had steak and it was cooked perfectly and it was delicious! read more

Let me start by saying I was genuinely impressed by how quickly we received our food after placing our order for a party of four. Everything was hot, fresh, and clearly made to order, which I really appreciated. We visited on a Thursday evening around 9:30 p.m. The ambience was decent and shows real potential. It feels like the original design aimed for a upscale vibe, but somewhere along the way, that vision got a bit lost. Few tweaks could really elevate the atmosphere. The on-site DJ played a great mix of R|&B, which added energy to the space. However, the volume was overwhelmingly loud. We couldn't carry on a conversation without raising our voices, and even our waiter had to shout just to communicate. In an age where more people are sensitive to noise and overstimulation, this is definitely something worth rethinking. I absolutely loved the idea of the question cards on the tables, they're such a fun and thoughtful touch, perfect for sparking conversation with your date or group. Unfortunately, the loud music made it nearly impossible to enjoy them. Overall, the food and service were good, but the experience would be greatly improved with a better balance between energy and comfort. I look forward to seeing how it evolves during my next visit to Chicago. read more

Chemistry is a very nice establishment in Hyde Park that is pretty different than the other restaurants you'll find there - keep reading for the important info. I've been here twice and I didn't want to judge them off my first experience being that I only got drinks. I want to start off by letting you know that they are pretty pricey and they add on a 20% gratuity + a 5% entertainment fee though there was no live band or dj there while I was in, but I didn't want to complain either (I don't appreciate that tactic though - it gives finessing). I shouldn't be paying for your live music.. pay for it your self! I didn't ask for it nor did I even receive any entertainment lbs. I don't appreciate stuff like that... very shiesty. Anywho.. the first time I grabbed drinks they were just okay. Nothing too special about them and they didn't "hit" the way I personally like. They are also $16 for your average or less than average sized drink. After the automatic tip, taxes, and fees you looking at a $22 drink for ONE. With that I expect to be feelin good.. not feelin like I drunk juice or pop. So, this time I came for food only. Heads up, they will ask you if you want spring or tap. The difference is $10 or $0 haha. The tap tasted perfectly fine to me. I understand you're trying to give "bougie" but don't nickel and dime me. Anyway... the salmon strips were good! I enjoyed the sauce/glaze on it, it wasn't fried too much, and it was cooked decently - $22. The wings sauce was good, but unfortunately they didn't cook the wings all the way so it was cluckin a little bit so eh - $24 The Brussel sprouts were decent - had a good seasoning on them and weren't tooo crunchy - $14 I'm not sure I'd go again honestly. read more

Funny thing about Chemistry, it starts with a spark and either you have it or you don't. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted by the maitre d' and offered a seat at the bar to wait for the rest of your party to arrive. The bartender both professional and friendly offers to fix you a drink. Not knowing what to order and being mesmerized by all of the beauty and splendor you allow him permission to be creative. He pours, mixes and shakes, then pours and perfects. After the first sip you ask "what is this I'm drinking?" "That shit" he states. I smile. Both for my drink and that everyone has finally arrived. We are escorted to a beautiful half circle booth roomy and comfortable with white table cloths and pink feathered centerpieces. A great view of all of the reminders of how pretty you are or how much you are loved with so many lighted wall reminders strategically placed. Our server comes to the table wearing a white lab coat and bow tie placing strawberry popcorn and a smoking vase on the table for a dramatic visual effect. She asks if we would like appetizers. We decide on wings. Sweet, sticky and saucy with a slight hint of heat. By the time the last wing is gone we are ready to place our order; I chose the lamb chops and had them jerked. Oh my. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we decided to share dessert. Butter cake with ice cream and strawberries. So good. Before we took our last bite, live R&B music began to play so we ordered another drink. Talk about a party! If you are looking for a spot with a spark whether it be for a girl's night out, date night or brunch Chemistry is sure to deliver. AND, they have FREE parking. read more

It was okay, and that's being nice. I went for a friend's birthday and it was just average. The plates were dirty, once I found a decent one the food was pretty good (that's why they get one out of those 2 stars). For the price I could've done about a million other things with my $145 dollars. The prices, fees, and surcharges are outrageous. Oh the DJ was amazing (hence the second star) but the music volume was WAAAAAAYYYYY TO HIGH! Do better Chemistry. ‍ read more

First of all, I made the reservations in February for brunch in April. I'm not sure why the reservation date was so far out for this restaurant, but it was made successfully. In my honest opinion, it's a really cute spot, but not my cup of tea. It's more for Generation Y and Z. The food was good, the experience was good, and the drinks were on point, however, I don't have to come back. The younger crowd just wasn't for me. read more

Service from our waiter/host was a 10/10. She did a wonderful job. If you arrive before 8:30pm on a Saturday. You get more of a live jazz feel. Coming after 9pm is more of a party scene. I will say the waiter and entertainment made my experience worth while. But the food was not my cup of tea. The fried salmon tasted to fishy 0/10. The wings were the best thing I had out of all the food we ordered 8/10. When it came down to the chicken salad I ordered. The chicken was dry, croutons were old. Just all bad for a simple chicken salad. Our bill over $600 plus for 5 people. We had to bring up the deposit.... The best part about being there was they made sure my friend felt special for her bday. They celebrated throughout the whole place tho. Which was a plus for anyone who was having a bad day. I love that!!! The 3 stars came from our host, entertainment and the asthetic beauty of the place. CON: we were asked to leave our table due to so many other people waiting to be seated while still waiting on our tab but the lady did give us complimentary Champaign for the trouble. I would not recommend anyone to coming after 9pm if you're looking for a calmer setting with food and drinks. I do feel as though the food is overpriced. I love the cute uniforms, and the place is beautiful but it was a one time experience for me. They lost definitely about the experience is MONEY. I think I would go back early in the day. I Feel like the food would be better but IDK read more

I was seated right away at a table near the stage. It was a little loud, but the singer did not sing the whole time. Our waiter came over and took our drink order immediately. Popcorn was served as an appetizer. I think it was kettle corn but Im not sure. We had the Truffle Malfadine Alfredo with Ribeye Steak, Steak Frites, and the Butter Cake. Everything was amazing. read more

Food, Service, Fraudulent Photographer I was enjoying my experience at Chemistry until the fraudulent photographer asked to continuously take photos. When she brought them back around, I was quoted a price of $25. I did not have cash, and asked if they accept a form of electronic payment. I am charged 28.55, I am unsure if the woman tipped herself. But I am very disappointed at the unexpected and fraudulent price gauging. I will be disputing with my bank if I am unable to he refunded. The food was a 1/10. My steak was served cold with congealed grease at the top and my fries were old!!! Its obvious my food was not made fresh. It was a highly disappointing experience. My waitress disappeared after the food was served and it was just a very low level experience overall. I have heard mixed reviews but was willing to experience for myself Not only that, the host was really rude. I hate when restaurants try to do the upscale vibe, but it ends up being tacky and classless. Why are your waiters kneeling on the floor to take customers orders. thats literally insane!!!! read more

Chemistry - my Steak Frites - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We prepaid and attended the NYE "Mascarade Ball". The event wasn't as described and we paid to enter the building. Nothing was included with the tickets. Then upon arrival was told to wait in our car until 10:30 then waited in line another 30 minutes. Once inside we learned we couldnt stay in the table we were lead to after ordering and even eating our apps. We were told to eat the remaining food at the bar. We'd ordered steak and sides over $200 in food. The hostess explained she was new and also didn't understand why we needed to move. It was a pretty sad experience, we decided to leave only to learn people who were in line with us had tables with the same GA tickets but they knew the host so he gave them a table. When we left at 11:40 there was no line and many empty tables. I'd heard the service was bad but this was ridiculous we'll never support this establishment! read more

So I found this place on tik tok. They had some good reviews so I added this to my list of places I wanted to go to while in Chicago. I should have known it was be issues when I was able to change the reservation to a different time and it was hella times I could pick still . Anyway we arrived there for 8:45 reservations. I loved the ambiance and decor they had live music and we were feeling the place. We asked to be seated closer to the live music and that's when the issues started. We switched table and for someone reason they got confused of who was now going to be serving us. We waited for a minute and finally someone came to assist, but let me get to the food. Food was mid. It came out quick but it wasn't hot. I ordered the chicken with some type of cream sauce and mashed potatoes were thick and semi warm. I hate eating food and feeling as if my own home cooked food is better than the food I'm paying for. My friend ordered the steak she liked it. I wished I would have gotten the steak it was better . My daughter order only an appetizer some salmon strips strips they were just ok. We ordered a total of 4 cocktails. The waitress disappeared after dropping a glass and never coming back I couldn't even tell anyone my food wasn't hot so I ate it. Here's the kicker. The bill came out and it was total of 250.00. Wtf how! After scanning the bill we realized that they charge a automatic gratuity 20% no matter how large the party is and the service was crap. Waiter never came to check on us, never refilled our water, had to wave her down eventually to get some help. There was another charge of 9.00 called an entertainment charge. Plus taxes so basically we paid an additional 69 dollars for gratuity and entertainment fees. I was so mad. Especially with the food not being so great the service not being good at all. I felt slighted, upset, taken advantage of. I love fine dining and I don't mind paying when service and food is top notch!! These restaurants need to get a clue about how to run a place. Don't try to take people up top. I can tell this is a place is where people come for only one time events like birthday (and it was a lot of birthdays that night). and don't ever come back again. They couldn't have repeat customers. Business's don't understand that if people feel taken advantage of they won't come back! Expensive mid drinks, mediocre food, bad service all those extra taxes. Wtf would I have to pay for the entertainment for an establishment. I'll stick to my regular places who won't charge an automatically gratuity for three people, good service , good food and inexpensive drinks. That I return too often because of that.I promise I will never return to this restaurant. read more

Ive seen this place on TikTok so many times looked so cute had to try it. Went to this place on a Saturday night it was pretty live. We had a reservation waited about 25 minutes after the reservation to be seated. The door area is so instagrable very cute. Once we were seated they placed the popcorn on our table. They didn't explain the flavor or anything but it was very interesting. For drinks we ordered the fantasy and pink tink both great flavor really the best part of the evening. For food we ordered a chicken ceasar, truffle alfredo fries and the honey garlic salmon sticks. The food took at least 45 minutes to come out I have no idea why. Everything was basic nothing special or I have to have more of. That ceasar salad had not enough lettuce and too much chicken, cheese and dressing. The salmon sticks were just overly sweet. The fries were just fries not meaningful comment about them. For dessert we ordered ice cream and fried oreos. The fried oreos seemed to be over fried they were hard and the ice cream taste like bryers ice cream what you get from the grocery store. Overall the service could use some work. Our waitress was not attentive at all she was all over the place. We had to ask for utensils to eat with. Had to constantly try to get her attention because she walked away so fast. The atmosphere was not my cup of tea at all. Music was so loud we could barely have a conversation. I would not go here for a date night. I would not return and I don't recommend unless you want to feel like you're at the club while you eat a late dinner. Leave the Instagram places for people who only go for a photo opp. read more

Went for restaurant week. The cocktails were good, but pricey. The "wagyu" sliders tasted like 70/30 ground beef. The stuffed chicken was filled with unseasoned cream cheese over a bed of undercooked rice. The "bananas foster" was just hard and cold bananas with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Waste of money! Go elsewhere. read more

This was a horrible experience. We made a reservation on Friday night, and we were met with security telling us we couldn't come in because they stopped taking people. We asked for the manager and they were persistent in not letting us sit down although we had a reservation. Mind you, the reservation was made a month prior. Finally the host came and offered us "free drinks" for coming. We were persistent on eating as we had traveled from out of town, she sat us down. When we sat down, the server was rude, and said we could only order from the happy hour menu. Mind you, it's supposed to be dinner lol. We were forced to pretty much order whatever the limited options were on the menu. Then, the waiter forgot our food. Then, the drinks that came were in these cheap plastic cups, and it was horrible. The food finally came out, and the check, and y'all they charged us for the supposedly free drinks. Mind you; we only got the drinks, because it was offered to us because of how much we were inconvenienced. This is not a fine dining establishment. I would not come to this place. Horrible experience!!!! 0/10!!! read more

The service was extraordinary, and the food was amazing. It was my first visit so I tried the sampler's platter. It was a bit pricey, but the food was delicious.

It was just so almost like a club that I forgot that it was the dinner lol it was such a nice time. It wasn't anything as crazy as a club. It still kept the couth of a dining place. They also have this little set up near the restrooms where you can take pictures. It's just a whole vibe. read more

I'm delayed in writing this, but the experience was so bad that it's still absolutely necessary to share. Please keep in mind, as I recount my visit, that this establishment markets itself as a "high-end steakhouse." If I could give negative stars, I would. Overview: * Live band at a "high-end steakhouse" * Piss-poor customer service * My food came out 30 minutes after everyone else's--with no apology I visited this restaurant for the first time on Saturday, May 17th, 2025, for a friend's birthday dinner. Prior to going, I had heard mixed reviews but chose to remain open-minded--after all, one person's bad experience isn't necessarily the next person's. We had a party of 12. They seated us in the back of the restaurant, directly next to the stage. The problem? There was a live band. It was extremely loud--so loud we couldn't have a normal conversation over dinner. It was overwhelming. Now, I understand that might have been the only area that could accommodate our group size--but that should have been communicated when the reservation was made. Who seats guests directly beside a live band? Better yet, what "high-end steakhouse" even has a live band? I did not like that. Given the volume, it was nearly impossible to hear our waitress--or each other. And to make matters worse, the waitress (Shanice) had a nasty attitude. She was rude when answering basic questions about the menu and didn't seem to care that we couldn't hear her. She stood in one spot the entire time, so we were expected to do all the work just to communicate with her. Eventually, the live band finished--but they were replaced by a DJ. The restaurant literally turned into a club. Now here's the real kicker: my food came out 30 minutes after everyone else's, and not a single word was said about it. No update. No apology. Nothing. They mistakenly brought an extra order of wings to the table and handed them to me. When I informed Shanice of the mistake, she also became aware at that moment that I still didn't have my food. She took the wings--and didn't return until 30 minutes later when my actual order was finally ready. She came to the table maybe four times the entire night. At one point, I had to go find her just to get my drink refilled. When she finally made the drink (right in front of me), she poured it into the watered-down old one without emptying it first. I had to ask her to remake it--and of course, she got mad. As I mentioned, she only came to the table four times. The fourth time was to drop off the check. She didn't even ask if we wanted dessert--I did. Meanwhile, the busboys began clearing the table and bringing out to-go boxes without anyone asking. It was clear they were rushing us out. Also, it's important to note that there's a 5% "entertainment fee" automatically added to every bill. That alone is wild to me. I could maybe understand a flat fee so everyone is charged the same amount--but a 5% surcharge on each individual subtotal? That varies from person to person and adds up quickly. Expecting customers to foot the bill for entertainment you chose to offer as your "unique experience" is even more outrageous. If you want to stand out, fine--but don't make guests pay for it, especially when the overall service and food are this underwhelming. Bottom line: I won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for quality service, a relaxing atmosphere, or good food. read more

The ambiance of this place gets 5 stars. Aesthetically, it was very pleasing to the eye...girly brunch vibes. This is definitely a place where the influencers can get their shots off for IG and TikTok pages. I was late to the party never been here or heard about it, I'm a Narwf Sida now. Lol It reminded me of Joy District or Hubbard Inn, I thought I walked into a night club. Speakers were blastin hip-hop and a few ppl were dancing. I only had appetizers and I was full, Caesar salad and the glazed wings. They both were good and filling. I had a bite of my friends lamb chop, it was decent but I could do without the glaze. It was a party of 12 and 80% of our party enjoyed their food. The people that had the Airline Chicken didn't care for theirs. Pasta and salmon eaters enjoyed. Everybody enjoyed the butter cake they gave to the birthday girl. Our sever was the bomb, he was very attentive, funny, and accommodating. The ONLY negative was it was a bit ghetto but fabulous...not ratchet tho. If that's what you're looking for then you'd be in heaven. I felt like I was in Atlanta. I could definitely come back here knowing the vibe I'm walking into but would like to try a night other than Saturday. read more

The food was good but not worth $60! The lamb chops were brought over to our table halfway through finishing our first plate. We would have rather it be served all together. The 4 of us were there to celebrate my daughter's 31st birthday, and my special requests were not honored. We did get a booth, but her birthday was not acknowledged. The music was trash, and the attire of some of the patrons was tasteless. On the site, attire was addressed, but no one seemed to adhere to it. Our waitress was not engaged, and we had to constantly look for her when we needed something. The music was very loud, but I think her name was "Raja."

Chemistry was not what I had hoped for. It was a friend's birthday and she reserved a table. Upon arrival, we were seated and did not see our server for 25-30 minutes. Finally, he arrived to take orders. 30-40 minutes later, our food arrives. My friend and I ordered the chicken and a side of macaroni. The macaroni did not arrive with our food we were told it would be out shortly. 10 minutes later we asked again and was told again it would be out shortly. 10 more minutes and no macaroni. We ask that it be taken off the bill since we were done with dinner. We then ask for the check it arrives with both macaroni on it, and we ask again that this be taken off. 10 minutes later, he comes back, and only one order of Mac had been removed. 10 minutes later, he's back with the corrected check and takes payment. BUT the deposit for the table reservation was not removed from the bill. At this point, we ask for a manager and was told he was the maitre-d and the manager. He explained he was sorry, they were short staff and he usually doesn't work in this section of the restaurant. After being here for close to 3 hours, we were over it and promised to never return. The food wasn't bad, but the service was so bad and slow it's definitely a no for me as far as a return visit. read more

I finally dined at Chemistry. It's been on my bucket list since it opened, but I finally made it. Chemistry is so aesthetically pleasing from everything I have seen online. I knew Chemistry would be the perfect place to visit after my and my fiance's engine photos photoshoot. The booking process was effortless, and I appreciated the convenience of doing it online. As soon as I arrived, I was seated promptly. They take your attire into account when assigning seats, so don't be afraid to dress up for the occasion. This is the first and only black-owned steakhouse in Chicago, and I loved the overall aesthetic of the place. The service was exceptional, and my waiter Ashley was amazing. The gratuity was included, but the service was so outstanding on par with fine dinning The food was good, but I would rate it an 8 out of 10. I really enjoyed the appetizers, and my favorite were the Hennessy wings. They also have great salmon strips. We ordered the steak and chicken dish, and while Rob thought the steak was good, he's had better. However, the presentation of the dish was fantastic. The drinks were also very unique and smoked, which added to the overall experience. I order mac and cheese and I'm a mac and cheese connoisseur I didn't like it intially but I ate if for left overs and it was so good. If you're looking for a cute spot with great food, I would definitely recommend Chemistry. read more

Don't let the Tik Toks fool you. Don't believe the hype. Be very intentional with reading their website when making reservations. During summer hours, the menu is different. And if you're vegan or a healthy eater your options will be limited to NONE. You will be unable to order anything off the main menu like most restaurants during happy hour. I sat while my friend ate. The waiter was very sarcastic and dismissive. He pranced around us dancing while we were waiting to order. It looks very upscale on pictures, but in person it was very NOT classy. I had two drinks while my friend ate. My drink was served to me in a plastic cup. The photographer asked to take our picture. We stood up to get our picture taken and someone took my drink. The waiter shrugged his shoulders and said I knew better. Once we received the check he charged me for half of the tab and could not understand that I only had two drinks. He put the scanner in my face and said "swipe ya card!!!!" He told my friend that she needed to check her card as if she had no money. It was just awful. This place did have a lot of potential. I was an out of towner with high hopes. I hope this review is used for growth and to train staff on professionalism. I'm all about having a good time, but be professional and CORRECT. If this is going to be upscale....don't half do it. read more
