Royal Hawaiian Fire Grill — located at 331 N Coast Highway — will reopen come summer under the ownership of Boulevard Hospitality Group.

BHG is responsible for massive brands like TCL Chinese Theater and Yamashiro. 

First opened in 1947 in Laguna Beach, Royal Hawaiian has undergone a handful of failed iterations over the years. 

Now, for what is hopefully the space’s last outfit, BHG has brought on fabricator Ignacio “Notch” Gonzales to oversee the new look, barman Dushan Zaric of Employees Only to build a bespoke cocktail menu, and Jae Hee Lee of Yamashiro to curate the culinary side of things.
