Chemistry Chicago

The vibe there was amazing! Live DJ, food was pretty good; got the sliders, salmon strips and chicken. The drinks were also good just a bit overpriced in my opinion but I think that’s cause they automatically include service fees and gratuity at the bar and then again when you sit down for your actual meal. Would definitely recommend though! The pink popcorn they give you is a cute lil touch along with the question cards to break the ice for conversation starters.

Pretty good.. I was pleasantly surprised and blown away. The food was great, the vibe was electric. The live music was a added plus. The owners also own litehouse Grill so I pretty much knew the food would be five star. I was more curious to see them branching out and doing a bigger space with more diverse food choices. I think they did a really great job. One last thing to add.. bringing out the food and cooking it right at the table while your Waiter is holding sparklers is exciting, original and over the top but ehh.. whatever works. Guys are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. I’ll be back.. hopefully they’ll sneak some of those signature Turkey burgers on the menu from ( another one of their restaurants) Mickeys grill.

Visited for a date night. Vibes were great. The live musician was great, loud enough to hear but not too much as to where you couldn’t hear the people your dining with. The drinks were good, food was good. Great experience overall.

We went here for our anniversary, it was really nice, live music, they have pink popcorn! ? and they had like questions card, which were cute. We got a free round of drinks due to the wait, but overall food and drinks were good.

The Host was great and then our waitress came to the table... Clueless and careless. The food was excellent. It is unfortunate that the front of the house has not risen to the level that the back of the house has set. This lowers the overall experience. I am still waiting for the serving spoons I asked for so that we could serve the shareable sides. The music can be a tad bit loud when engaging in conversation. The atmosphere is nice overall. Now the food was great... Everything was excellent except the wings, they were good. We found they were lacking in seasoning, although the sauce was tasty. We ordered the Lamb Chops, Sea Bass, Filet, and Salmon entrees (all were amazing and cooked perfectly). Our sides were alfredo fries, brussel spouts, and corn which were all great. It is recommended to get a reservation especially if you plan to go between 6:30 and 9:00. You may have to wait even if you have a reservation. There is a 90 dining limit. This was challenged since we waited for our drinks. Only three of our drinks came out. We had to approach the bar to request the other drink. Here is where Chemistry can improve... Better trained wait staff. Train staff on that wear placement and knife presentation when steaks and chops with entrees. Dinner forks and salad forks are not the same or interchangeable. Small things like this diminish the experience. Train wait staff on the correct sides to serve abd clean tables. I will return again for the food but I will lower my expectations. The chemistry isn't quite there but there will be a second chance

The ambience is nice and it’s a novel concept. The food tasted pretty good, however, the filet mignon was not cooked according to order TWICE, had to replace the entire meal. The drinks came out super late. They didn’t provide a steak knife with the steak meal and no fresh utensils were provided with the desert. It was their soft opening so they get a pass on some of the shortcomings. The staff were nice and friendly, and the manager did comp part of the meal. Once they work the kinks out, I believe it would be a more pleasant experience.

We were seated soon as we walked through the door. Waiter was on point, food was amazing and came out super fast. Every worker was clean and neat. DJ was bomb. I will definitely be going back.

So let’s start off with the atmosphere. It is really nice, good vibes, and all around picture ready. With that being said the music is WAY too loud. We literally couldn’t wait to leave because we couldn’t even hear each other talk. It’s as if you are trying to have dinner in the middle of the club. I literally left with a headache. The chemistry question cards are nice, but you can’t even hear each other to engage. Most of the tables were dark, with no supporting lights. Mind you we went there to celebrate an early Valentines Day dinner. We definitely will be taking a take two somewhere else tonight. You had people there twerking being loud, BOTTLE SERVICE the same way they do when you’re at the club with the sparklers. Our waitress was very nice. No complaints. Now let’s get to the food. It came out EXTREMELY fast and not in a good way. It was as if everything is already made and it’s sitting there and brought out to order. We ordered appetizers. They came out in 5 minutes. The Alfredo sauce was not Alfredo on the “Alfredo fries” they also had too much garlic. The salmon strips were decent, but it’s was as if they took a store bought sweet chili sauce and just poured it on top of them. Both came out room temperature. Oh so our drinks were very sweet. Didn’t drink them at all. Our food came out 5 minutes after we ordered. Jerk salmon and garlic mashed potatoes. Came out cold, garnished it with a ton of dried parsley. Literally looked like it was just poured out on top. Potatoes weren’t garlicky and they had a taste as if they were cooked in dirty water. The mac and cheese was room temperature. The crust was hard due to sitting out. Had that dry look. We also had the Brussels sprouts which were warm. Oh and the Caesar salad. It wasn’t a salad after all of that dressing and cheese they put on it lol. The croutons were soggy which is also another indicator food is already prepared and just sitting. Croutons go on after the salad is plated - usually. None of the food was nasty. They just need to do better. One of the managers came over on her own and asked us how everything was. I told her the truth and she was very nice and respectful. I told her we didn’t like our drinks and they were replaced with two shots of vodka. The drinks were $16 a piece so we didn’t drink them and paid $32 for two shots of vodka because she didn’t take the drinks charges off. We ordered desert and let me say the fried oreos were delicious. We also got the bananas foster and it was definitely not what it was supposed to be. The bananas they used were either plantains or they were green and not ripe. Not sweet at all. The ice cream was good and the presentation the server did at the table side was great. I don’t believe she charged us for desert. Over all we paid around $250 including a $38 gratuity fee and an additional tip for our waitress. We also paid a $5 entertainment fee. For what exactly? Not sure. I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t recommend this place, but it’s not somewhere I would go to spend that type of money.
