Sinatra Tribute. Concert & dinner.

Frank Sinatra’s greatest hits provide the tune-up for an evening that starts with dinner and ends with a live concert at Art Restaurant Mánes. You get a welcome drink, a three-course menu from chef Jaroslav Zahálka, and a 17-song program in a venue linked to the Mánes Gallery and its functionalist architecture.

I like the way this pairs a proper meal with a focused tribute show, and I like that the song list reaches beyond the obvious standards. One consideration: dinner comes before the concert, and some diners have found the meal a little rushed or parts of it not warm enough.

The essentials at a glance

• Dinner before the music: The three courses are served first, so arrive ready to eat before the concert begins.
• A 17-song Sinatra program: Expect standards such as Fly Me to the Moon, Come Fly with Me, and My Way, plus less predictable selections.
• A riverside Mánes setting: The restaurant is by the river, and its location and architecture are part of the appeal.
• A 140-minute evening: The program includes a break, giving the night a clear rhythm rather than one long stretch of music.
• Dress with a little polish: Creative formal is recommended, and sportswear is not allowed.
• Plan special meals ahead: You can request an alternative main course, but the restaurant needs at least 48 hours’ notice.

Dinner sets the pace at Art Restaurant Mánes

The evening begins at Art Restaurant Mánes with a welcome drink and a three-course dinner. That order matters. You are not trying to manage a full meal while music plays, and the concert gets your attention once dinner is done. At 140 minutes total, the experience is best treated as a planned night out, not a quick bite followed by a short set.

Chef Jaroslav Zahálka’s menu starts with pea cream soup, served with butter croutons, fava beans, basil crème fraîche, watercress oil, and afila sprouts. The garnish gives a familiar soup a more elaborate finish. It is a promising opener for diners who like a composed restaurant meal, though the menu is set rather than a broad list of choices.

The main course is beef Bourguignon in red wine gravy, with fried oyster mushrooms, onions, and potato and celery purée. It is a hearty centerpiece, with several elements on the plate rather than a simple meat-and-potato supper. The portion and preparation are likely to suit you if you want dinner to feel like part of the occasion.

Dessert is sweet mini dumplings with vanilla custard. The meal has a distinct three-course shape, beginning with soup, moving to a rich main, then finishing with something sweet. If you are dining with a child, a chicken schnitzel with potato purée is listed as the kids’ main course.

If you need a different main, arrange it at least 48 hours before the start. Do not count on sorting out a dietary change at the table. The supplied details do not specify a full allergen list or other special-diet options, so ask before booking if you have a food requirement that needs a firm answer.

The main caution is timing and temperature. The meal is part of a scheduled evening, and some diners have found dinner a little quick or a dish not warm enough. That does not mean you should expect a problem, but if a leisurely, unhurried dinner is your top priority, this format may feel brisk. Think of it as a well-paced dinner-concert package, not a long restaurant tasting.

The setting is part of the evening

Mánes is associated with functionalist architecture and the famous Mánes Gallery. The experience is designed to bring together culture, art, and food, rather than simply placing a singer in a dining room. That gives the night a stronger sense of place, especially if you enjoy architecture as much as the menu and music.

The restaurant sits by the river, and the setting has been noted for its views. Your exact table and sightline are not specified, so I would not book solely on the promise of a particular view. Still, the riverside location adds a welcome sense of occasion and makes this a good choice for a date night or a special evening with friends.

There is no need to arrive dressed for a gala, but the suggested creative formal style is a useful cue: smart clothes with room for personality. Sportswear is not allowed. If you are coming straight from a day of sightseeing, plan a change rather than assuming casual daytime gear will fit the room.

A familiar songbook with a few surprises

The concert program opens with Fly Me to the Moon, then moves through From Here to Eternity, You Only Live Twice, and I’ve Got a Kick Out of You. It also includes The Man I Love, One for My Baby, I’ve Got a Crush on You, and I’ve Got You Under My Skin before the break.

The second half brings Love’s Been Good to Me, Bang Bang, Come Fly with Me, New York, New York, and I’ve Got Rhythm. Witchcraft and Strangers in the Night lead toward My Way, with Something Stupid rounding out the listed program.

That is a generous mix of signature songs and selections you may not associate first with Sinatra. If you know the big standards, you will have plenty to sing along with in your head. If you are a more devoted fan, the less expected choices help keep the set from feeling like a greatest-hits checklist.

The program includes songs written by a wide range of composers, including Cole Porter, George and Ira Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Sammy Cahn, and Paul Anka. The focus remains on the songs rather than a biographical account of Sinatra’s life. If you want a music history lecture, this is not that. It is a tribute concert built around familiar melodies and a live performance.

A break splits the set in two. That pause helps the evening breathe, particularly after dinner, and gives you a natural reset before the final run of songs. The full event lasts 140 minutes, though the supplied details do not give a separate duration for dinner or the concert itself.

What the price includes, and what it does not

At $93 per person, the price covers a welcome drink, the signature three-course dinner, and the concert. That is a useful bundle if you would otherwise pay separately for a proper dinner and live entertainment. You are also paying for the Mánes setting, not just for a meal and a song list.

Value depends on what you want from the night. If you like the idea of an organized evening where dinner and music are already joined up, the package saves you from planning two separate stops. If you would rather choose your own restaurant or only want to hear the concert, the bundled meal may make the price less appealing.

Extra drinks are available to order at the venue and are not included. Keep that in mind when estimating the total cost, especially if you plan to linger over drinks with dinner or during the break. The included welcome drink gives you a start, but it is not an open bar.

Small-group availability is offered, though the exact group size is not specified. The activity is wheelchair accessible, and the host or greeter speaks English. The meeting point can vary by the option booked, so check the details for your chosen option rather than assuming every booking uses the same arrival spot.

Who will enjoy this dinner concert most

I would choose this for someone who likes Sinatra, polished dining, and a venue with architectural character. It also works well when you want one evening plan with food and entertainment already linked. Couples, friends, and music fans who enjoy classic standards should find the format easy to settle into.

You do not need to know every song to enjoy the program. The set includes many familiar titles, and its broad selection gives casual listeners plenty to recognize. On the other hand, if you prefer a very intimate concert, a full Sinatra impersonation, or a long, leisurely dinner, the available details do not promise those specific things. The show is described as an unconventional tribute, not as a claim that the performance reproduces Sinatra’s voice or stage persona exactly.

Families can consider it too, especially with the listed chicken schnitzel and potato purée for children. The dress recommendation and dinner-concert format give the night a more formal feel than a casual family meal, so consider whether that suits your group.

The strongest reasons to book are the combination of live musicians, a full dinner, and the Mánes setting. The main reasons to pause are the fixed menu, the extra cost of drinks, and the possibility that dinner may feel quick. Weigh those against what you value most in a night out.

Booking and practical details

The activity is offered in English, and the meeting point depends on the option you select. Check that information when you book. Reserve-now, pay-later booking is available, and cancellation up to 24 hours in advance qualifies for a full refund.

For food adjustments, give at least 48 hours’ notice for an alternative main course. The listed children’s main is chicken schnitzel with potato purée. Sportswear is not permitted, so aim for the recommended creative formal look.

Should you book the Sinatra Tribute?

Book it if you want a complete evening built around a three-course dinner, live Sinatra songs, and the character of Art Restaurant Mánes. The 17-song program has enough familiar favorites to please casual fans, while the less obvious choices add variety. The food and talented musicians are the strongest parts of the experience, with the riverside setting lending the night a sense of occasion.

Skip it if you want a flexible à la carte meal, a bargain concert ticket without dinner, or a slow dinner with plenty of time between courses. For most people who value the full package, $93 is reasonable for a meal and concert in one setting, as long as you remember that extra drinks cost more and the meal may move at a brisk pace.
