This place was extremely nice and the food was absolutely amazing. First, there is a dress code that isn’t included on their site. You are not allowed to wear slides. When I first entered this establishment, it was an issue. The first thing the security guard told me is that you can’t wear slides. Mind you, the slides that I had on had rhinestones on it and they had a small heel to it. There were other people in the restaurant wearing slides. Our group decided to take pictures while we waited for our food. Chemistry has a photographer there that takes pictures and prints them out for you to purchase. During our “photoshoot” the cook told us to come back to our table because our food was almost ready. We tried to take a few more pictures and he came back to tell us to sit down and to stop taking pictures. It was constant negative feedback from staff that were not servers. I recommend this place, for the food, but not the service.

This restaurant doesn’t know how to pick up a damn phone. I’ve been calling for 4 days now trying to make changes to my reservation and they don’t pick up. But they have the audacity to still want the deposit for people who don’t show up at the reservation Gtfo. I’m not even looking forward to my reservation anymore cause I know they’re going to try it. And I ain’t going to let them charge me for missing ppl. Tf. Answer the phone and let me update my reservation or run me my deposit back.

Fun spot to hang out. From other reviews, I expected popcorn as a free pre-appetizer and a waiter to educate us on the different drink selections and conversation cards on the table. None of that happened or was available. It was very loud and busy. It's not my idea of an ideal spot for a romantic date night, but it's definitely suitable for a first date. The food was sooooo good!

Terrible seating. It took 30 minutes to receive drinks. Expectations definitely not met.

So, I went to Chemistry for dinner and when myself and my friend sat at the bar We were asked to put our id and cards down to start a tab because someone else disputed a $1000 charge on 2/13. Red flag ? number one. We ordered ceaser salads. I ordered lamb my friend ordered salmon strips. Salad came and she (my friend) didn’t like hers and was asked how were things. She simply said Red Lobster has better ceaser salads and a whole other waitress came back with attitude and said “ what does that have to do with me?” Red flag number two ?. Third strike was a whole live roach in between us at the bar. Red flag ? number three. I can accept a mediocre meal I can accept a halfway decent bathroom, but where imma draw the line is service with an attitude AND roaches. Be aware of where you spend your money. And it really wasn’t worth the Hype.

The food was DELICIOUS! I usually never order lamb chops but THESE ARE EXCELLENT!!! The salmon, Mac and cheese, asparagus, and chicken was FIRE. The atmosphere and entertainment is great too! This is the perfect place to celebrate your birthday or any special occasion. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!

The Food was great except for the Salmon Strips (they were too fishy) and for $14.00 for asparagus, we definitely thought we were getting more than 6 asparagus on our plate. The menu prices were a little steep and the bartender made our Long Island Iced Tea too sweet with almost little to no alcohol. Our waitress Amber was fantastic and very friendly. The environment was great with the live entertainment. We felt for the $5.07 entertainment fee that was added to our bill was robbery because the young lady butchered a lot of the songs and made the experience a little more uncomfortable. Great place but definitely need to adjust their prices a little lower and make sure the entertainment is actually worth adding to our bills or make it optional.

I made reservations for 9pm on a Sunday and was standing in a line as if I was trying to get into a club. Reservations means you walk in and get your table not stand around and wait. The waitress literally told everyone that came in that it was a 15-20 minute wait. Me and my date left and went to another establishment where my reservation was honored.

Here's the revised review: "My husband and I chose this venue to celebrate his birthday, and it exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was vibrant, the service was impeccable, and the food was outstanding. I ordered the salmon, which was truly exceptional, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak, beautifully presented. Our friend relished the lamb chops. The drinks were plentiful and delicious. The attention to detail in presentation and decor, including the captivating smoke effects, added to the experience. Live music on a Sunday night was a delightful touch. We would eagerly return and wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to others."
