If it were a popularity contest, this dinner would be near the top of the list.

This summer, The Coronet has been hosting a series of “Seat at the Table” dinners, and the next event is happening from 7 – 10 p.m. on Tuesday, August 14.

Chef Moody Elbarasi is teaming up with Synergy Fine Wines to create a dinner that’s worth every last crumb of the five-course dinner.

One of the most unique features of the dinner is that you’re the center of attention while it’s closed off to the general public. All of the past “Seat at the Table” dinners have sold out quickly, and this current menu has already been filling up.

Seats are $70 per person with wine pairings. The required reservations can be made by calling (520) 444-2830.
