The Pasta House Restaurant Review

One of my favorite restaurants is The Pasta House, which is a small chain located in the St. Louis area. We tend to go to the new/rebuilt one in Fairview Heights, IL. It is a nice place, and the food is really good, but we haven't been able to get food the last few times we went there.

Tonight, we were really craving The Pasta House, so we headed over there around 8:30 pm. The restaurant is divided into two halves; the dinner section on your right and a bar area on your left. Right inside the door on your left is a small space for a live band. As soon as we parked in the parking lot, we could hear the band blaring. We walked in the door but as soon as we got inside the amplified music was so loud it made our son wake up and cry. And so we had to leave. Which is really sad because I love this restaurant. The music there drives me crazy though. (The bands aren't bad, they are just so LOUD that it would be hard to have a conversation, let alone leave without a headache. It is like they want to be a club instead of a restaurant.)

And before someone says, sit on the other side of the restaurant, we did that last time and our son just got really upset (and we had headaches) so we left before we got our appetizers. 

If someone from the Pasta House reads this, PLEASE turn down the music. Bands do not need amplification in such a small space! I want to eat there again!
