Considering Shark is one of the most expensive sushi restaurants in Rhode Island, I would have expected both better service & better sushi. Located midway down Thayer Street in Providence RI, Shark no0doubt has a great atmosphere but lacks in a few very important aspects.
Before I get to the food, as I take in the atmosphere, I can't help but to notice the undersized bar, which I'm seated (behind two giant containers of pineapple) the tables for two look way to small for a sushi dinner, let alone a boat and the service left something to be desired. I had to tell the bartender after my sushi arrived that my meal included miso soup, which she then brought me. I was also confused as to why the staff wouldn't know whether or not there was wi-fi. I had to inform the bartender, no there wasn't.
Now the meal, the obvious, most important part of a dinner experience, which in my eyes was extremely over priced. I ordered a sushi combo platter, priced at $17, which included 18 total pieces, all of which were the size of an average supermarket sushi roll. I can safely say I would have rather visited wholefoods and picked my sushi out of a cooler, rather than go there again. Normally it would take me all of 10 minutes to eat a plate of sushi, tonight I'ved decided to write this review in place of eating it.
So although the lighting is well done, the location is fun & the extra large fish tank is definently cool, I give this restaurant 2 thumbs down.
In my eyes sushi is an art. From the presentation to the texture to the taste. Every part playing on the other, every part missing from my meal tonight.
