Food and overall vibe were excellent. Definitely more than what I expected. Went to celebrate a birthday, so we did the buffet brunch with the bottomless mimosa experience. I love that the buffet has servers, so people are not serving themselves as that is so unsanitary. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because our server was slow at first with the bottomless mimosas and didn’t ask which type of juice we preferred and brought out OJ and we had to ask if we could have something else. Once we spoke with her about the flow and other juices, it was corrected. The host Terrell and hostess OShay (sp) and Leah were Top Tier. I definitely will return and recommend Chemistry to my clients, family and friends.

the food was okay.. ive had better at other steakhouses.. For the price most deff not worth it and let me tell you why.. as a rest that is known for "the best steaks in the world" as it says on their menu.. i asked for a medium well steak and i got a well done.. i would most deff not go back.. We were charged the gratiuity fee for entertainment that started 2 min prior to our 90 min time limit being up.. Glad i had the experience but i wouldnt go again.

We made a reservation, still had to wait one hour to be seated. Cesar salad was wilted, and temperature of building was too warm.
