Chef-Owner Denzil Richards and his wife & Co-Owner, Nedine Tarby Richards, bring over 30 years of noteworthy culinary experience to Baltimore’s Fell’s Point. Chef Denzil hails from the island of Jamaica and began his culinary training at the New York Restaurant School. 

From there, he garnered his work experience in some of the most exquisite restaurants in New York City and the Tri-state area such as Le Bernadin; Asia de Cuba, and Picholine.

He has occupied every cooking position from line cook; sous chef, to executive chef, and most recently to consulting chef for several upstart restaurants. Chef Denzil’s vast experience provided him with a diverse cue of cooking styles from African, Eastern European, Southern American, Latin, and of course Caribbean cuisines.

Each restaurant Denzil entered helped further techniques and foster his dream and now a reality of opening his own successful establishment. Denzil’s and Nedine’s vision lives through the restaurant’s no-limits, American-Caribbean menu. 

From Oxtail Stew to Louisiana shrimp and grits, Denzel’s SharkBarGrill’s mission is to create an exciting and friendly dining experience with dishes that are designed to shake up your senses.

Formaly Jimmy's Restaurant, Denzel's Shark Bar Grill is now the new go to spot in Batimore City.
