I've always walked past this restaurant and have always been curious about it. Finally my friend and I came on a Groupon deal that included a 3-course meal and a drink under $8. Overall I think it was a unique experience.
We had a warm welcome by the hostess and our server whom we learned how to sign with to order our food. There are "cheat sheets" that show diners basic dining sign language along with the menu that had the signs of all the food items. I got a Goat Cheese Bruschetta (5 pieces) and my friend got the Deep Fried Ravioli (5 pieces) with Pickles on the side. The Raviolis replaced a menu item that they did not serve anymore and the sign for it was not in the menu either so there was a little miscommunication and lack of preparation there. It didn't bother us too much. Nothing too spectacular but overall a good start to our meal.
For our main dish we both got Steak and Frites with a Creamy Caper sauce and it came with a side of sauteed vegetables. The steak was a little bit chewy even though I asked for medium rare. The strip of fat that was on the side of the steak did not help make the dish look more appealing. The fries were normal and the sauteed vegetables were better than plain steamed vegetables. Overall the flavour was there but my friend didn't like the sauce as she thought it took away from the flavour of the meat.
We were super stuffed by the end of our meal but we still had dessert! I ordered a Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream drizzled with a caramel sauce and my friend had the New York-style Cheesecake. I love brownies so it was perfect for me. The cheesecake was good as well but we couldn't finish it all because we were too full and it was too heavy.
Our server and the other staff members were very helpful and very pleasant. He was very patient with our signing and very sweet. The experience was fun and delightful and the food was good as well. Would come back!
