The popular “Seat at the Table” dinner series is still going strong at The Coronet, and the next event is happening from 7 – 10 p.m. on Tuesday, September 18.
It’s an intimate five-course dinner that includes crafty creations from chef Moody Elbarasi and Spanish wines selected by Andres Ramirez of Synergy Fine Wines.
All throughout the summer, the reservation-only dinner has been somewhat of a hot commodity, and all of the past “Seat at the Table” dinners have either filled up quickly or sold out completely.
Seats are $70 per person with wine pairings. The required reservation can be made by calling (520) 444-2830.

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.
