This summer, The Coronet is offering a series of invitational “seat at the table” dinners. The first dinner takes place from 7 – 10 p.m., Tuesday, June 12.
The exclusive five-course dinner will be paired with wine from Sand-Reckoner Vineyards. The restaurant will be closed to the public during the dinner.
Seats are $70 per person with wine pairings, and $50 per person if you’d rather not drink.
Although, there’s a catch: the night will only happen if a minimum of 18 people book a reservation.
If you can’t make it to the first dinner, keep an eye out for upcoming menus on July 31, August 14, and August 28.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
