Mother's Day Brunch Adventure Tried out a new brunch spot this Mother's Day, and let's just say... it was a bit of a mixed bag! We made a reservation . You check in outside. Female hostess didn't greet us and she looked overwhelmed. Another person started to help she never said anything like " hi we're finding you a table be right with you" . The vibe was cute and trendy--definitely Instagram-worthy--and they almost won me over with their banana latte, which was an unexpected star. Seriously, I could drink that sweet, frothy magic every morning and be happy. The food? Ehh... let's just say it looked better than it tasted. Not terrible, but definitely not the highlight of my Mother's Day dreams. Also, a heads-up for parents: no kids' menu or kid-friendly options, which made ordering for the little ones a bit of a challenge. I ordered steak and eggs medium well steak was chewy I saved it for my doggie so it wasn't wasted. My mother in law got blueberry pancakes and it's just pancakes with blueberry jam . Would I go back? Maybe for a coffee date--with that banana latte calling my name, it's hard to say no. But for a full brunch with the fam? Probably not the top pick. Rating: (3/5) - one for the ambiance, one for the latte, and one for the effort read more

I've visited three times now, and the food is amazing. During my last visit, we arrived with a reservation and were informed that we were 20 minutes early. However, people who arrived after us were seated before us, even though we had the same party size and made a reservation. It didn't make any sense. read more

Love coming to this place. They got the best Chilaquiles. Service is always great but today German went beyond great.

We came in for a delicious breakfast and had such a great experience. Our server Germán excellent job attentive, friendly, and on point. The jalapeño chilaquiles are highly recommended, absolutely delicious. My family also ordered the steak and eggs and they loved it. We'll definitely be back! read more

We came for breakfast and when we arrived we didn't know we had to have reservations. The girls at the front desk seemed a bit put out that we didn't know this. There weren't that many ppl so they sat us outside. I just didn't care for the attitude that came with not knowing we were supposed to make reservations. The food was just ok. Waiters were pretty good. They kept us hydrated. read more

Amazing food! Definitely delicious. Recommend making reservations. Service was good and drinks were delicious. Had breakfast steak enchiladas with jalapeño cream sauce and chicken and waffles. Everything was cooked perfect and would very much well go back again. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite the other day. Ordered a Jack and Coke from the bar and was told they didn't have Jack Daniels. We also ordered a bloody Mary which was extremely red and missing vodka... The chicken sandwich was okay and the truffle fries were good at best. Will we go back again? We'll probably try other restaurants in the area before we would go back here. Will we give it another chance? Maybe if we're in the area.... read more

The vibes are vibing here! We came for brunch and had a blast. The chilaquiles we're really good though I wish they had a bit more of a kick to them. They do have a jalapeño salsa so maybe next time I'll try that one. The drink including the mocktails are delisously refreshing. Our server, Jesus, was super attentive and friendly. Definitely planning on going again. read more

Blackstone Kitchen - Ordered queso fundido for an appetizer and had shrimp tacos for dinner. - New American Near Me - Corona, California

Thinking I was at a $$ restaurant I was prepared to drive 1 1/2 hours to then get the menu and clearly see that this is an upscale restaurant. It's more like $$$. The place is nice with modern dark woodsy feel to it. Music was at a good level and our waiter was a little snobby. Super serious and no personality.. the food was ok. I had the jalapeno enchiladas which were bland. Hubby and mom had the vodka penne which was also bland. My son has the rib eye which was delicious and great portion at $53. So it's a pricey joint. Lastly my son ordered a corn cake dessert and we also told them it was my mom's bday. So they brought "his" dessert with a candle for everyone to eat. Most restaurants will bring the person their dessert and also bring a dessert for the bday person. So it was a $16.00 dessert for everyone. So just not sure if I would ever come back. I'm sure k can get the same food for less closer to my house . read more

Ambience is great, I love the low lighting. Overall great service and food was tasty. read more

Enjoyed a family dinner there this past Sunday. I had the Porterhouse steak. Medium Rare. Perfectly cooked. The garlic butter and chimichurri was the perfect compliment. The presentation on the cutting Board was the show stopper. Definitely will be back. read more

It was good! I got a meat lovers omelette Tons of meat on the inside of the omelette, perfect if you looking for protein! Eggs where nice and fluffy Arturo got steak and eggs Steak was perfectly cooked to our liking. Chimichurri sauce was tasty. Potatoes where good but could have been bit more crispy I got a dulce de leche latte, thought it would be overly sweet but it bad a great balance between caffeine and sweetness We shared a cinnamon horchata pancakes which were very sweet and taste exactly like a churro but had a pancake texture. Could have used a-little mora syrup ob top but in all very delicious and would come just for that. The fruit on top was also perfect read more

The place is very clean and elegant. Second staff are amazing in their service. Food has never disappointed me. Third time in this restaurant and going back. I have tasted the rib eye, risotto and filet mignon. In another time I have tried the mole enchiladas and they are so delicious. Highly recommend this place. Please try this place. It is really good! read more

Wanted to try this place due to all the hype. Overall, it was just OK. I do think that the bar has some unique drinks. If you're into drinking the food was very average at best. The venue is somewhat small and kind of crammed into a small place. You feel like you're sitting on top of each other. We went for Sunday brunch and like I said the food was OK. I got the steak skillet, but I did enjoy the chilaquiles..those were extremely flavorful. Overall, the service was OK. I don't know if I'll be returning unless I'm looking at go out for drinks. read more

This was a beautiful experience. The food was a foodies dream. Everything is fresh and unique. Food presentation was wonderful. The menu is a Latin spin on classic steak house. Great fresh salsa and hot sauce. The service is exceptional. I normally drive to LA to dine at the new hot restaurants. But black stone should be in the conversation with other trendy hot spots to dine! read more

Took my kids out for brunch on our father-daughter-son date because this place came up on my reels. We were seated outside at 11:45 a.m. on an increasingly hot 88°F day, which had climbed to 95°F by the time we left. Unfortunately, there were no fans or misters outside, and service was extremely slow. We barely saw our server for drink refills, and our food didn't arrive until 12:38 (Parfait, Spaghetti Pancakes, Sweet Waffles, and Steak & Eggs). It was so uncomfortable outside due to the heat that we didn't get to enjoy our meal--we rushed through it and left by 12:54. My daughter ordered the Parfait, which was advertised as sweetened vanilla, but it turned out extremely sour. Our server initially offered to remove it from the check, but later said the manager advised against it because "yogurt is supposed to be sour." We didn't want to make a big deal--at that point, we just wanted to pay and leave. The whole experience was disappointing. It took longer for the food to arrive than it did for us to eat and head out. What we saw on Instagram didn't match reality. I'd suggest only going if you can sit inside, though even indoors felt crowded and musty. We didn't really get to enjoy the food or the outing. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

2nd time here coming from Sacramento to visit my lady and I have to say hands down best brunch spot in Corona. Gives me Guadalajara/Andares/Zapopan vibes. Our server Matias was very attentive and gave me and my lady a breakdown of the menu even though it was our second time here. Instantly sold me with the chilaquiles and brought out a little flight of salsas to pair with the chilaquiles since I love my food spicy. Great atmosphere and will always look forward to coming back for brunch when im in town! read more

Went to brunch on Easter Sunday. Made sure to have reservations. I ordered the skirt steak and eggs, my wife order deconstructed chiliquilles. We ordered apple empanadas as an appetizer. All the food was fantastic with Latin influences. Fresh farmed eggs and the food was made with love. I would definitely recommend it and go back. The cocktails and beer were very tasty and complimented the food very well. read more

Sad to leave this review, but I came here this morning and we ended up leaving before we even ordered. First, i walked into the restaurant and the hostess was sitting at a table next to the hostess booth scrolling through her phone. She saw me walk in, continued scrolling on her phone, and then got up and attended me. I thought the restaurant might have even been closed because of how slow she was to get off her phone and tend to the hostess booth. Secondly, we sat on the patio because we had our dog with us and no one ever came to check on us or take our order so we decided to get up and leave. 20 minutes passed by and STILL no one had come to check on us. read more

Loved my experience! We came in for brunch on Sunday and ordered the Chilaquiles w/ Steak, Flautas, Lavender Lemonade (my favorite!), the Mimosa Flight and Tiramisu! Everything was tasty. Our server was Jesus R. and he was lovely! Highly recommend! read more

The food was tasty, had the Jalapeño lobster enchiladas and my husband had the sea bass. Both were filled with flavor. Ambiance was romantic. Low light, jazz music playing. Great for date nights. Or drinks at the bar. Drinks were great! Recommend the cilantro jalapeño tequila drink. Our server was Matias and he helped with all the recommendations. Will be back for sure!! read more

Blackstone Kitchen - Paloma and pineapple jalapeño tequila drinks... - New American Near Me - Corona, California

Came for breakfast, we got onto the waitlist which was an hour wait. We didn't have a problem with that since we were just walking around the shopping center. We are the next party the app shows to be seated. We walk to the front I let them know my party was here. I can't even exaggerate when they proceed to let 6 different large parties in front of us. When I asked the hostess proceeds to tell us yes we are next and let's more parties in front of us. It was 30 mins of being "next" It ended being 1.5hr wait total all just to be sat outside. It took such a long time to just be seated yet alone even get water. We had to go inside the bar and ask for waters ourself. We place our order. We ordered two different chilaquiles one of jalapeño sauce pork belly eggs over medium and the other tomatillo with steak eggs over medium, French toast and the skillet with an over medium egg. When the food comes out 3/4 orders were wrong. The server proceeds to gaslit us to tell me that's what we ordered. They had brought out enchiladas, scrambled eggs. He then decides to blame the waiter who took our order. They took back the plates and brought out the correct order. Food was good, but for the service and experience. I will not be going again. It was the worst first impression. read more

We are not from this area and found this place while we were in corona about 4 weeks ago and service was not good. We arrived without a reservation and were asked by two girls at the door if we'd like to sit in the patio and we said yes (we assumed that there were no available spots inside) as we were waiting for the girl to direct us to the patio area, a family of five (2 adults, 3 kids) arrived and were also asked if they had a reservation and they said no, but only took two seconds for them to be asked to go inside because their table was ready. We were very confused since we got there before they arrived and we were only a party of 3 adults. I don't appreciate the discrimination since it was clear that they had a preference over those of us that are not white, which we noticed as we arrived at their patio area. read more

QUALITY food, this place is new and the food is amazing. The service tends to be mostly good with a few exceptions. The ambiance is where this place lacks, is always hot (im unsure if they have AC issues) and the music tends to be a little loud but the quality of the food makes up for it. Here are my recommendations -Guacamole is great -The steak tacos are amazing -The calamari are to die for Here is my rating Food 10/10 Service 7.5/10 Ambiance 6.5/10 (is just hot) Ps: I wish they would open during the day as well but sometimes is better to open only at night and keep the quality of the food! I just want to go more often haha read more
