Sinatra Tribute. Concert & dinner.

Sinatra in a real show-night setting. This 140-minute experience pairs famous Frank Sinatra hits with a chef-driven three-course dinner first, then live concert in Art Restaurant Mánes. I love that the menu is prepared by chef Jaroslav Zahálka, and I also love that the program tracks the classic Sinatra sound from start to finish. One thing to consider: the dinner can feel a bit on the fast side, and some dishes may not be piping hot depending on timing.

You also get the setting working for you. Think functionalist architecture vibes, Manes Gallery atmosphere, and a piano that ties the whole night together. Add the included welcome drink, and you have an easy date-night format without having to plan two separate stops. Just remember the recommended creative formal dress code, and sportswear is not allowed.

Key things to know before you go

• Chef Jaroslav Zahálka’s signature menu starts the night, including pea cream and beef bourguignon
• Classic Sinatra setlist moves from Fly Me to the Moon to New York, New York, and closes with My Way and Something Stupid
• Manes Gallery and piano energy make the venue part of the show, not just a background
• Welcome drink plus English-speaking host/greeter, in a small group format
• Creative formal dress code is recommended, with sportswear not permitted
• Alternative main course available if you request it at least 48 hours before the start

Dinner at Art Restaurant Mánes: three courses that set the tone

This is a dinner-first experience, so you should treat the meal like the warm-up act. You start with a welcome drink, then you get a full three-course service designed to keep things moving for the concert right after.

Chef Jaroslav Zahálka prepares the menu, and the food leans into Czech-leaning comfort with a slightly refined, modern touch. It is not just basic pub food before a show. The courses are built to feel complete, with flavors that hold up even when the evening schedule is tight.

Soup course: pea cream with layered crunch

The soup is pea cream served with butter croutons, fava beans, basil crème fraîche, watercress oil, and afila sprouts. It sounds like a mouthful because it is. Translation for you: you get smooth creaminess first, then bursts of texture from the croutons and sprouts, plus a bright herbal finish from the watercress oil.

If you like soups that have an actual point of view, this is the first checkmark.

Main course: beef bourguignon with wine depth

For the main course, you get beef bourguignon in red wine gravy, fried oyster mushrooms, onions, and potato and celery purée. This is classic comfort at its best, and the red wine gravy does the heavy lifting for flavor.

The mushrooms and onions add a savory edge, while the potato and celery purée helps keep everything cohesive, not heavy in the wrong way. It is the kind of main that works well before music because it satisfies without dragging.

Dessert: sweet mini dumplings and vanilla custard

Dessert is sweet mini dumplings with vanilla custard. Dumplings for dessert can be hit or miss, but the pairing with vanilla custard suggests you are meant to get comfort sweetness rather than something overly experimental.

It is a good “finish line” course before the show, especially if you want sugar without feeling like you just ate a whole cake.

Kids and alternative mains, if you need options

There is also a kids main course option: chicken schnitzsel with potato purée. If you are bringing family, this is a practical add-on that keeps the evening from becoming complicated.

If you want an alternative main course, you can request it as long as you do so at least 48 hours before the start. For groups with different eating needs, that notice window is your friend, so plan it early.

The Sinatra tribute show: a hit parade with real momentum

After dinner, the concert takes over. The theme is celebrating the legendary King of Show Business with an unconventional Sinatra tribute show at Mánes. The goal is simple: you get the most famous Sinatra songs and the rhythm that made them last.

The program runs with a continuous flow of standards, then a break, then finishes strong. The track list is the real selling point because it covers eras and moods, from romantic crooning to big, brassy confidence.

What you will hear, song order style

The first part includes:

• Fly Me to the Moon
• From Here to Eternity
• You Only Live Twice
• I’ve Got a Kick Out of You
• The Man I Love
• One for My Baby
• I’ve Got a Crush on You
• I’ve Got You Under My Skin

Then there is a break after I’ve Got You Under My Skin.

The second half continues with:

• Love’s Been Good to Me
• Bang Bang
• Come Fly with Me
• New York, New York
• I’ve Got Rhythm
• Witchcraft
• Strangers in the Night
• My Way
• Something Stupid

You can feel the logic here. It builds from smooth classics into the high-energy set pieces. If you know Sinatra by title, this show will feel friendly fast.

Why the venue matters more than you think

The venue setting is part of the experience. You get the functionalist architecture energy, the famous Manes Gallery atmosphere, and a piano that helps connect songs to the room. In practice, that means the show does not feel like a detached performance. It feels like the music is happening in the same space where you are eating, which makes the transition from dinner to concert smoother.

Also, since the performance is built around the piano, you can expect the sound to stay front-and-center. That matters if you want to hear phrasing clearly, not just feel background entertainment.

How the 140 minutes play out: dinner pacing and show focus

The total experience time is 140 minutes, which is long enough for a real dinner and a solid concert, but short enough that you do not lose your evening to waiting around.

Because dinner happens first, you should arrive with a practical mindset. The meal is three courses, but the night is also about music, so the service can feel brisk. That is great if you hate slow dining. It can be slightly annoying if you want to linger over every bite. A couple of real-world notes to keep in mind from the vibe of the experience: some dishes have been known to come out a little less than fully hot depending on timing, so be ready to enjoy the food, even if it is not restaurant-perfect temperature.

Once the concert starts, the tone changes to full attention mode. The set list is packed with recognizable titles, so you are not stuck wondering what comes next.

Tip for you: pace yourself during dinner. Do not skip water and do not over-order extra drinks before the show. The schedule is tight enough that you want to feel comfortable for the music, not sluggish.

Price and value: is $93 fair for dinner plus a tribute concert?

At about $93 per person, you are paying for three things at once:

• a welcome drink
• a chef-prepared three-course dinner
• the concert ticket for the Sinatra tribute show

For a night like this, the value comes from consolidation. Instead of spending time and money on separate dinner and a separate show, you get one ticket that includes both. That is especially useful on a travel night when you want to keep logistics simple.

The menu is not a basic starter plate situation. You get a structured course list: pea cream soup, beef bourguignon main, and mini dumplings with vanilla custard. Even if you do not love every ingredient, the overall intent is clear: this dinner is designed to feel like part of the show.

Is it expensive? Compared to casual dining, yes. Compared to a dinner-and-concert combo that includes a specific venue and an established program, it is the kind of price that makes sense for a planned evening out.

If you are a Sinatra fan, you get extra value because the set list covers the hits you expect, from Fly Me to the Moon to New York, New York and My Way.

Dress code and practical tips for a creative formal night

The recommended dress code is creative formal, so think polished but not stiff. “Creative” is the clue. You can wear something a bit personality-forward, while still looking dinner-appropriate.

Two rules matter:

• Sportswear is not allowed.
• The night starts with dinner, so dress for two moments: dining and then sitting through a concert.

If you want the easiest success, choose clothes that you can comfortably wear through a full meal and an attentive show. You do not want to be adjusting sleeves or shifting shoes while the songs start.

Also, since the host or greeter is English-speaking, it is easy to ask quick questions on-site. If you have a request for an alternative main course, plan that early, because the food requirement needs at least 48 hours notice.

Small group feel, English host, and who this is best for

This experience is offered as a small group, and the host or greeter is English. That combination usually means you spend less time herding people and more time enjoying the evening.

Wheelchair accessibility is listed, so the venue is designed to handle mobility needs. If you travel with anyone who uses a wheelchair, you can feel more confident that the experience is planned with access in mind.

Who I think this suits best:

• Sinatra fans who want the classics in a single easy night
• Couples looking for a dressed-up dinner followed by a recognizable music program
• Food lovers who enjoy a structured menu and not just a snack before a show
• Anyone who wants a cultural setting, not a generic concert venue

Who might not love it:

• People who want a long, slow dinner with lots of downtime, since the schedule is built to move from dinner to concert
• Anyone expecting an all-original production with zero focus on famous standards, because this is clearly a hit-based program

Book it if you are excited by the set list and you enjoy a structured menu. Skip it if you want a slow, long dinner with zero schedule pressure. For most people, though, this is the kind of evening that delivers quickly, stays fun, and turns a single ticket into a full experience at Mánes.
