A little Maryland.
A lot of heart.

MICHAEL & MELINDA FRENCH

A place to call
our own.

Michael’s story begins in Baltimore. He met Melinda in St. Thomas, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, before the couple returned to her hometown of Huntington Beach.

They moved to Chino Hills in 2000, and opened Blue Fire Grill in October 2009. Today, the restaurant’s menu brings those roots together: Maryland-style crab cakes alongside barbecue smoked onsite in a Southern Pride smoker.

A full bar, craft beer, vintage whiskies and a pet-friendly patio make room for an evening at your own pace.
