"Our crostini isn't for everyone's palate. I went ahead and grabbed the other bread for your table." Was the manager's response to their bread being burned.
Our stay here was, to be brief, bad. My family went out to eat here for my mothers birthday. The hostess, Tiffany, sat us with a "Your server tonight will be Levi, he is amazing and will be treating you well tonight." That, it turns out, was a lie. Levi was way more interested in helping a table with two pretty girls.
Our drinks were the only thing made well. Props to the bartender. They know what they are doing.
their preserved lemon and olive with crostini is labeled as GF (gluten free) however...they do not offer GF bread? When inquired they said the entire thing is GF... except the bread. Cool, they put the bread on the side. however...they burned it. When I flagged down another server (because ours was paying attention to the two girls table), they brought out the manager. She fixed it by insulting our collective palate and bringing another type of bread...that wasn't burned.
I also talked to her about the blue cheese wedge salad. The previous time I had been here I ordered something very similar and it was...a wedge. This was a normal salad. I was confused and they simply said that's what I ordered.
our entrees came out in a timely fashion, if not very poor states. the main course was steak, frog legs, salads, trout, and chicken. A large order. everything was okay except the fish. over cooked and dry, and the rice was so overdone and dry it was completely inedible. Our server was still not helping us.
After flagging down another server they apologized and got the manager. Our server came back during that time and we talked to him about the poor tasting food...and he took it away, said "I hope you enjoy the rest of your meal" and walked off! He didn't offer anything in replacement.
Manager comes back, talks to us for a second and asks if they can make us something else. She then gets our the check (with three items taken off) and leaves. we waited a 5ish minutes. decided to pay cash and then leave.
3 of the 4 people the next day had upset stomachs.
$240 with a tip...0/5, will never give them business again. Guess our palates aren't sophisticated enough to...
Read moreWe recently chose The Coronet for my mother's 80th birthday party. Sally Kane was fantastic and very prompt with communication in setting up our event for approx. 30 people. Sally carefully curated a stationed menu for our guests based on favorite flavors.
The Coronet is a beautiful Territorial era property with two courtyard areas - perfect in the evening time in late April. Our crew of four (yes, 4 dedicated professionals for our small group!) was very attentive all night. Anna , Noah, and Breanna were true professionals and kept timing of courses, toast, and dessert running all night. Their balance of attentiveness was spot on. Keila is a master behind the bar. Everyone enjoyed her concoctions from signature cocktails to requests, served up in the perfect glassware.
The food was delicious. Locally-sourced and sustainable, the menu is a creation of seasonal flavors that don't disappoint. My mother loves fried calamari and we found this to be a perfectly light and not oily at all. We had several entree choices but the pancetta-wrapped chicken and the flat iron steak with fresh chimichurri were awesome. Sally followed this up with birthday chocolate rum and cherry cupcakes with light Italian buttercream frosting.
I see a lot of reviews on concern of portion sizing - our event was different so we had plenty to go around - and pricing. The portions are designed to share tapas style so you may want to order an extra plate. The flavors are all great so you can't go wrong there. It can cost a little more for fresh, small sourced ingredients and menus always depend on what is seasonably available - The Coronet chef does a great job of creating with what is available. It may not be your weekly hangout but for our very special occasion, we found the service, the food and the ambiance to be just what we hoped for....
Read moreTwo years ago I gave this place 5 stars. Sadly it's changed drastically. This review is written in the context of brunch. The menu is radically different than it was before and a number of staples such as waffles are gone. The food you get now for your money is certainly not enough either.
I ordered biscuits and gravy and my boyfriend ordered the dutch babies.
The dutch babies are delicious but the plate simply doesn't offer enough for a brunch meal. It comes with a side of 4 sliced apples that are razor thin. Think one standard apple slice cut into 4. Not cool. Otherwise the actual dutch babies are good. There just isn't enough for the 12-15 bucks it's going to cost you.
The biscuits and gravy on the other hand are simply bad. The biscuits are the problem. They are hard and dense instead of light and fluffy. So hard and dense that they don't absorb gravy which is a core aspect of a good biscuits and gravy. The biscuits act like a cornbread/hard and dry biscuit.
The only reason I can give this two stars is that the service is still wonderful. The hostess and waiters are still great. The food has simply become bad.
This was once a thriving brunch destination. I can see why they're no longer booming with business for brunch.
The menu needs to be fixed. Put some staples back on it. Stop skimping on things like apple slices. Make good biscuits.
I personally don't plan on returning. Disappointing. Once my favorite place in Tucson.
To give an idea of how little food you get for your money, after spending 40$ on food here for our two servings we were still hungry after and had to make another brunch at home. Total waste of...
