About Us
In a day and age when gimmicks and themes overwhelm more than entertain, and quantity takes precedence over sheer quality, BlackWood American Grill is a throwback to classic sensibilities with a contemporary new twist.
Intent on introducing an upscale dining establishment meant to invite rather than intimidate, Proprietors, husband and wife, Chuck and Linda Keagle, and Brady Main, the team that brought much attention to the Inland Empire with the reopening of the Sycamore Inn in Rancho Cucamonga, bring us BlackWood American Grill, located in the ever-expanding city of Corona.
BlackWood has created a dynamic menu featuring innovative takes on contemporary American cuisine. With Prime steaks, rotisserie chicken and fresh seafood, our Chefs add an element of excitement with unique rubs, intriguing preparation methods and innovative flavor profiles.
Committed to supporting the many farmers and artisanal food producers in the area, BlackWood American Grill partners with the Cal Poly Pomona farm store to have access to the freshest, most flavorful organic produce available.
Harboring a deep passion for and extensive knowledge of wine, Chuck Keagle worked closely with the Chef to create an extensive, yet thoughtful wine list offering a wide range of preferences, including both American favorites and imports, with highly allocated selections and rare gems from boutique wineries, allowing guests to be adventurous and try wines at the most reasonable prices. A full bar offers alternatives to the many wine selections, with BlackWood signature cocktails and martinis.
The restaurant’s décor reflects and supports the menu by being highly sophisticated, yet inviting. Bare tables support the restaurant’s name with dark woods dominating the scene, while wine-inspired merlots and burgundies serve as accents. Contemporary features, such as whimsical lighting and the use of metals, add a refined, polished feel, which extends to the server attire, which is both personable and professional, with tailored black pants and black aprons.
Truly intent on providing the best in food, ambiance and service, BlackWood American Grill demonstrates the perfect balance of decorum and comfort, making it the perfect place to put the doldrums of the day behind you with a glass of wine or signature cocktail and some great jazz. Indeed, whether you want to take in a casual lunch with friends, enjoy a sultry dinner with your beloved, or host a splendid event to impress a client, BlackWood American Grill provides the ideal setting to achieve your goal.
