| - Like many others, we wanted to try this place for a new unique experience, and hopefully learn some ASL.
The staff are wonderful, majority are deaf but when you first come in, there is someone who can help start you off with communicating properly with the staff which was really helpful. There is a sheet on the table that has the basic signs you need to know, and on the menu it shows you how to order using ASL.
Atmosphere was quite empty. Decor was simple, clean, and inviting.
Prices are quite expensive for the quality and portion sizes. Appetizer I had the veggie spring rolls with an apple mint chutney. For main I had the grilled veal chop with garlic mash, sauteed veggies and a demi glace. For dessert I had a chocolate fudge cake with berries and a raspberry drizzle.
Overall, I thought the food was just ok. There wasn't much going on in terms of flavour, some things could use more umf, more seasoning. Didn't like the apple mint chutney at all...it had a strange papery texture to it. It tasted premaid, frozen and so did the spring rolls. The veal was decent though, everything else was just ok.
Service was good, the staff were patient when we were ordering in ASL for the first time. They came around often to check if we needed anything.
Overall, it's a nice place if you want a new and unique restaurant experience, but the food quality could use some improvement.
