This friendly spot features the creations of Chef Omar Rodriguez who was associated with the Carlucci restaurant group for years. The delicious house salad is composed of mesclun, blue cheese, walnuts, and pears tossed with balsamic vinaigrette. Entree selections include the skirt steak, marinated in garlic and served with freshly made roasted tomato sauce. Also available are seafood, pasta, and chicken dishes. Delectable desserts include the tiramisu and espresso flan. Open for lunch and dinner daily; Sunday brunch available; BYOB; no smoking. - Alotta, 08/31/2005

My first experience at Think was one to remember. A great night out with a fairly large group (abt 10). The service was excellent. Everyone in our group was VERY satisfied with their dinners. The only drawback was the noise level (perhaps due to a packed dining room). Dishes and presentations were great. I can't wait to get back... soon! - Suzer, 12/28/2006

Think seems great at first but the owners appear to have no emotional control at all. I hate to think what this guy is doing to the food when something upsets him. The linen drapes



that separate the outdoor seating from the sidewalk give the place a elegant vibe. The food is generally well received although there are more reasonable restaurants in terms of getting what your paying for. Think is over priced. The bad time that is working with someone who can be so unpleasant seems to show on the faces of the staff. The Rib-eye steak filet was passible fare at $28, although their is a better presentation at other Bucktown eateries. In all, Think seems inviting, but you're better off visiting one of the other fine establishments in the area. - freview, 07/22/2006

I had been hearing a lot about Think Cafe. Over Thanksgiving weekend, three friends and I went. While the atmosphere is pretty nice and cozy, at times it is a little TOO cozy. Our waitstaff seemed to rush us at the start. The $4 per bottle cork fee is a bit steep. The food was okay, nothing too much to write home about (we had the pork and two chicken dishes). My guest had the special which he enjoyed a lot but was 18 dollars more than the most expensive item on the menu. Although it was nice that the waitstaff mentioned this. Desserts are really big enough to share! - Nicole Y, 12/06/2005

I have heard so much about your cafe. I love cafes'. When my son is on business in Chicago we'll try and stop by. Congradulations on your cafe !!!!!! Say hello to Nate Hamilton !!!!!! - Judith M, 08/31/2005

My friends and i went there last weekend. Thank god we made reservations, as they were completely full and about ten people were waiting outside for a table to become available. Our table was right there waiting for us with a sign of 'reserved' on it. To make things short, the food was excellent and the service impecable. The hotess/owner is very charming. I'll recomend to friends, and i'll be back many times!!! - John S, 08/31/2005
