   Today was the 1st day of the summer happy hour series. They were completely UNPREPARED! The menu was literally being updated as customers were being seated. A steakhouse with no Steak Frites. 🤦🏽‍♀️ only sides available were fries and Cesar salad. I order my steak medium, after the table side performance it was more well than medium. Our waitress Isabella had a terrible attitude. She proceeded to tell us we had 15 minutes left on our table, when we were never informed of a time limit to begin with. “It’s on the website” is what she said. Well all the prices on the website were incorrect for the ENTIRE happy hour menu. If you don’t mention the 50% off the happy hour menu they won’t inform you. She said we would need to give up the table because other patrons were waiting and we could finish our drinks at the bar. After spending over 150.00 on happy hour. She had a terrible attitude. I don’t recommend. However, the manager Courtney was a sweetheart. She found us seats at the bar and made my sister’s birthday much, so shouts out to Cortney!

   The Chemistry experience was fantastic! I would recommend chemistry to anyone looking to have great fun, laughter, excellent food and smooth music! Very relaxing atmosphere and well worth the time and money. Ty was our chemist for the evening, he was par excellence in chemistry! Can't wait to go back!

   This place is classless. I had a party of 4 looking for a nice brunch spot on a Sunday afternoon. Upon entering the place I could see I may have made a mistake in choosing it. The decor was cheap and very little ambiance. We had never been here before and scanned and browsed the QR menu. When the waitress arrived she looked at us like we had three eyes. Didn't say anything or offer what the brunch was about. After inquiring, we walked to the food and saw only scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, grits, french toast and waffles with only two lunch items fried chicken and lamb chops. So when we went through the line to get our food, and got to the lamb chops they asked for a ticket. We asked, "What ticket?....We were never told about a ticket!". We had to get the waitress to go up to the server to get our chops. Very unprofessional setup. Overall it was $60.00/pp for mostly breakfast food! They had cobbler for dessert but this was the extent of the brunch!! Not only was the food average and cold, they had a DJ playing loud hip hop music during our meal and an MC walking around with a microphone. Was this a brunch or the Sunday afternoon club? On top of that they automatically charged an entertainment fee as well as included gratuity. The handheld electronic bill never states that gratuity is included which is deceitful and tricks people into overtipping. I have no problem paying for a good meal, but $400.00 for a cold breakfast for 4 is definitely not a good experience. This place is my worst brunch EVER for any restaurant in Chicago or the numerous establishments I've been to worldwide. I do not recommend anyone except Sunday afternoon clubbers to patronize this place.

   Food is awful, worst brunch buffet ever. We were served by staffs, can’t choose our own food. The food includes: scrambled eggs, grits, fried chicken wings, bacon, and sweet sausages. There is a lamb rack, but didn’t allow us to touch it; the final price for 3 people meal is extremely high($250 for 3 people including forced 20% tip). I want my money back.

   EVERYTHING about our experience at Chemistry was EXCELLENT! From the staff, to the food, to the presentation of the steak, to the vibes, to the music, to the decor! EVERY TIME we come to Chicago, I’m going to Chemistry!

   Such a great experience, per usual. I came to celebrate my sister’s 40th Birthday with friends and family. Perfect place to listen to live music, have great food and drinks with lots of energy. However, The server that was not very attentive. She did not visit our table many times, and was often seen standing and conversing with other staff. She also was not sure to have the celebratory HAPPY BIRTHDAY song come out with sparklers. We had to ask for this. When I come back, I will be sure not to be seated in her area, and if so, will request a new server.

    Got the Parmesan crusted jerk lamb chops, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, and the fantasy to drink. All of it was 1000/10!
