The Restaurant Pasta Jax - Middleton

I wasn't initially drawn to a restaurant with this name (it reminded me of a mall food court stand), but we decided to take a chance after reading some reviews.

This restaurant was the best dining experience I've had in the valley so far. It's not just about the food, but the atmosphere and everything else.

The food was delicious. The lasagna and gnocchi were both excellent. The desserts were a bit small but tasty. I will definitely return when I am in town.

This is an excellent restaurant located in this small town in the Annapolis Valley. A pleasant surprise. This is a smaller restaurant so during the tourist season reservations are recommended. The menu is quite extensive - with its of good choice. A very good wine listing as well. Our server was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It helped make the dinning experience more enjoyable.We dined on a Sunday evening and were told that the stuffed chicken options (two) were no longer available and that there was only 'one meatball' left. (Why would you announce that?? Just let the chef eat it!)There were a variety of dishes ordered at our table. All were good and the presentation was very good. A couple of us had the seafood pasta. The pasta could have used a bit more seasoning - in addition besides the shrimp there could have been more seafood. Overall quite tasty though. Positive comments about the other dishes ordered - especially the steak.Wonderful experience and would not hesitate to recommend.

Sunday was my wife's birthday - so when I found out the Restaurant was closed on Sunday I decided to celebrate and book her birthday at the Restaurant on Tuesday - today. You and I both know I love this Restaurant - the Restaurant! Jost's 4 Skins wine is a must for us - even before Jost bought it out - Fabulous Red Wine from our Valley! The birthday girl went with the Artichoke Dip to open - I chose the Garlic Shrimp - the former delightful and flavorful. The latter so good it is beyond description...perfect! The garlic, lemon, the shrimp, cold as ice and loaded with flavours The good wife chose the lamb kabobs with loaded baked potato. She loved it! I chose the filet with veal reduction sauce < I have referred to previously here as the best steak I have ever eaten. Tonight I repeat it is the best steak I have ever eaten. A Michelin-Restaurant-in-Madrid-quality, in my humble estimation - where we have had exquisite food in the past. No kidding - no exaggeration - top notch - wonderful food. What else can I say? Well - just that I am blessed to have the most precious gift in the world - a loving and wonderful partner - to whom I say "Belated Happy Birthday" - AND - blessed again that within five kilometers of our home is a fabulous, world class Restaurant - under the totally unassuming name - The Restaurant. The staff, the food, the atmosphere, the music, the service, the attention to detail - the experience is wonderful. Oh - and consistent: especially that, because that's what makes a great Restaurant truly great!
