Drunken Fish Westport Plaza - St. Louis

A delightful dinner before a show at the Westport Playhouse.

The food was excellent, but I felt that there weren't enough waitstaff present. We had to wait quite a while for our drinks and to place our order.

I’ve dined at the Drunken Fish a few times but I was very disappointed tonight. Our Edamame appetizer took 25 minutes and arrived at the table cold. We sent it back to the kitchen to have it reheated but it came back very overcooked. The teriyaki chicken was a mound of rice with a plain chicken breast (rubber chicken) and a small glob of thick teriyaki sauce at the bottom of the plate. I had to sliced up the chicken and mix it into the sauce myself. It was a poor example of a simple dish. There was not enough sauce to cover the chicken breast yet they charged me when I asked for more. Our sushi was accompanied by a dime-sized dollop of wasabi and again an additional charge for more. Service was poor. Food was marginal. I won’t be going back. Very dissatisfied.

Had a great bday celebration. Waiter was a bit young and not conversational, but he got the job done. Very slow night, but food was exceptional.

Food is always delicious, however the service wa a just okay. They seemed to be understaffed. We waited for almost 10 minutes without anyone greeting our table and then the drinks (wine and sake) took about 8 minutes to arrive after that. Food was awesome, but the service needs some work, there were only a few tables full in the restaurant.
