Located in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, Chemistry is Chicago's premier Black-owned Steakhouse! Enjoy the most delicious steak while experiencing excellent white-glove service. Chemistry exemplifies black excellence at its finest. When the creator of Chemistry first started dating, he wondered "If there were only a place that was breathtaking upon entry, amazing live bands and DJ's, delicious photographable food, good service, along with a place to get up and dance," he’d show up as much as his pockets could afford. However that place didn’t exist, until now. Chemistry, the perfect mix of a high-end late-night steakhouse, booming brunch spot, and tantalizing nightlife vibes all created to be the perfect place to experience love! *Large Parties over 12 are unable to make an online reservation.
