Sinatra Tribute. Concert & dinner.

Frank Sinatra’s biggest songs provide the backbone of this evening, but the setting does much of the work too. You begin with dinner at Art Restaurant Mánes, a functionalist building beside the river, then settle in for a live tribute show that runs through Fly Me to the Moon, My Way, New York, New York, and other familiar numbers.

I like the meal-before-music format, since you are not left hunting for dinner between acts. I also like the mix of architecture, art, river views, and live performance in one compact outing. The main point to consider is timing: one French diner found the meal a little rushed, and another noted that some dishes were not warm enough.

Key points at a glance

• Seventeen Sinatra-era songs: The program includes Come Fly with Me, Witchcraft, Strangers in the Night, Something Stupid, and more.
• Dinner by chef Jaroslav Zahálka: The signature menu moves from pea cream soup to beef Bourguignon and sweet mini dumplings.
• A distinctive Mánes setting: Functionalist architecture, the Mánes Gallery, piano, and river views shape the evening.
• A polished dress-up night: Creative formal clothing is recommended, and sportswear is not allowed.
• A compact 140-minute plan: The dinner comes first, followed by the concert and an intermission.
• Good value for a special evening: At $93 per person, the ticket covers the welcome drink, three courses, and concert, while additional drinks cost extra.

Dinner first at Art Restaurant Mánes

The evening begins with a welcome drink and a three-course dinner. That order matters. You can arrive, settle in, eat, and enjoy the music without worrying about fitting a separate restaurant reservation into the night.

The venue combines Art Restaurant Mánes with the famous Mánes Gallery and a striking functionalist design. Its riverside position gives the setting extra appeal, particularly if you want an evening that feels more distinctive than a concert in an ordinary hall. One couple specifically praised the river views, and that is a useful clue for setting expectations: the room and location are part of the attraction, not just background decoration.

The meal is prepared by chef Jaroslav Zahálka. The menu has a polished European feel, with familiar ingredients presented in a more formal restaurant style:

• Pea cream soup with butter croutons, fava beans, basil crème fraîche, watercress oil, and afila sprouts
• Beef Bourguignon in red wine gravy with fried oyster mushrooms, onions, and potato and celery purée
• Sweet mini dumplings with vanilla custard

The soup is not a plain bowl of peas. The croutons add crunch, while the beans, basil crème fraîche, watercress oil, and sprouts bring several textures and fresh notes. The beef Bourguignon is the more substantial course, built around slow-cooked beef and red wine gravy, with earthy mushrooms and a smooth vegetable purée.

If you are bringing a child, the listed children’s main course is chicken schnitzel with potato purée. If you need an alternative adult main course, request it at least 48 hours before the start. That deadline is important, since last-minute changes may not be possible.

The meal has received strong praise for flavor, but you should keep your expectations practical. One diner found the service pace a little quick, while another found parts of the food insufficiently warm. Those comments do not cancel out the generally positive response, but they suggest that this is a concert evening with a set dinner, not a long, leisurely tasting menu.

The Sinatra tribute program, song by song

After dinner, the concert begins. The program is designed for broad appeal, mixing standards, movie songs, romantic ballads, and famous closing numbers. You do not need to know every title to enjoy the evening, but Sinatra fans will recognize plenty of old favorites.

The first half opens with Fly Me to the Moon, a natural choice for setting a light, swinging tone. It continues with From Here to Eternity and You Only Live Twice, bringing in songs associated with film and classic popular music.

Cole Porter receives plenty of attention in the early part of the program. I’ve Got a Kick Out of You and I’ve Got You Under My Skin give the singer room to work with elegant phrasing and a polished rhythm. The Man I Love, written by George and Ira Gershwin, shifts the mood toward the Great American Songbook.

Then comes One for My Baby, one of the more reflective moments in the set, followed by I’ve Got a Crush on You. These songs show why Sinatra’s appeal was not limited to fast numbers. His repertoire could move from playful charm to late-night melancholy without needing a change of subject.

The first half ends with I’ve Got You Under My Skin. A break follows, giving you a chance to stretch, order an extra drink, or talk through the meal and first set. Extra drinks are not included, but they can be ordered at the venue.

The second half opens with Love’s Been Good to Me, then shifts into the more dramatic Bang Bang. Come Fly with Me restores the easy travel-song mood, while New York, New York brings one of the evening’s best-known crowd-pleasing moments.

The remaining songs keep the variety going:

• I’ve Got Rhythm adds a bright Gershwin finish to the middle of the set
• Witchcraft returns to a cooler, more controlled Sinatra mood
• Strangers in the Night leans into romantic pop
• My Way provides the expected grand statement near the end
• Something Stupid closes the program with a duet-friendly touch

The listed set contains 17 songs in total. That gives the concert enough range to feel like a tribute to Sinatra’s career rather than a short selection of greatest hits. The musicians have earned especially warm praise, so I would book this for the live performance rather than treating it as background music during dinner.

Why the Mánes setting changes the evening

A Sinatra show could take place almost anywhere. Here, the Art Restaurant Mánes makes it feel like a dressed-up cultural night in Prague.

The functionalist architecture gives the room a clean, modern character. The gallery connection adds an artistic edge, while the piano and riverside location help create the atmosphere expected from a concert built around old-school elegance. You are not simply moving from a restaurant to a separate theater. Food, art, design, and music are joined in one venue.

That combination is especially useful if you want a single evening plan with a clear shape. You do not need to arrange several stops or decide where to eat after the show. At the same time, this is not a sightseeing tour with a long list of Prague landmarks. The value comes from the mood and the quality of the night, not from covering a large part of the city.

I would also treat the dress code as part of the experience. Creative formal clothing is recommended, and sportswear is not permitted. You do not have to dress in a predictable black-tie style. The idea is to look polished while adding some personal flair, which fits the show’s theatrical theme.

How much time you really need

The advertised duration is 140 minutes, or just over two hours. Since the dinner comes first and the concert includes a break, the schedule is easy to understand.

You begin with the welcome drink and dinner. The first concert section follows, then an intermission, and finally the second section. Because the meal and performance are combined, the evening has a steady rhythm rather than long gaps between activities.

Do not choose this if you want a completely open-ended night. The set meal and concert format give you less freedom than dining independently and buying a separate show ticket. The upside is that you know what your evening contains and can plan around a fixed 140-minute block.

Starting times and the exact meeting point can vary by the option booked, so check those details before you leave. The host or greeter language is English. Small-group availability may suit you if you prefer a more contained event rather than a large production.

What $93 includes, and where costs can rise

The price is $93 per person. That includes the welcome drink, signature three-course dinner, and concert.

For a special evening in an art-focused riverside venue, that package can make sense. You are paying for a full meal, a live show, and the convenience of having both arranged together. The price is easier to justify if you would otherwise book a nice dinner and a concert separately.

The package does not include additional drinks. That is the main extra expense to watch. If you plan to order wine, cocktails, or other drinks during the evening, your final bill will be higher than the advertised rate.

Value also depends on your interest in Sinatra. If you only want a casual meal with a little music, $93 may feel high. If you enjoy classic vocal standards and want a polished night out, the combination is more attractive. The positive feedback about the food, musicians, and overall evening supports the idea that this works best as a planned occasion rather than a spontaneous budget activity.

Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend Sinatra Tribute for couples, music fans, and anyone looking for a dress-up evening with a clear plan. It also suits visitors who want to combine a cultural venue and restaurant meal without spending time coordinating separate bookings.

The program is broad enough for people who know Sinatra well and for those who mainly recognize the famous songs. You will hear major standards and movie themes, not a narrow set of obscure material. The live musicians are a major reason to choose this experience, especially if you prefer a real performance to recorded dinner music.

It may also work for a family group, since a children’s chicken schnitzel with potato purée is available. Still, the creative formal dress code and concert structure make it feel more like a special occasion than a casual family meal.

I would think twice if you dislike fixed menus, want a very slow dinner, or are sensitive to temperature and service timing. The food has been praised, but the occasional complaint about rushed pacing and dishes not being warm enough is worth keeping in mind.

Practical details before you book

The experience is wheelchair accessible, which makes the venue easier to consider for visitors with mobility needs. The host or greeter speaks English, and small-group options are available.

If you need a dietary or menu change, arrange it no later than 48 hours before the concert. The regular menu is fixed around the pea soup, beef Bourguignon, and dessert, while the child’s main course is chicken schnitzel with potato purée.

Wear creative formal clothing. Sportswear is not allowed, and casual clothes may feel out of place beside the restaurant, gallery, piano, and concert setting. You do not need to copy Sinatra’s look exactly, but a jacket, dress, smart trousers, or another polished outfit will fit the room better.

The booking terms are useful if your schedule is uncertain. You can reserve now and pay later, and cancellation up to 24 hours before the start allows a full refund. Check the booked option carefully because the meeting point may vary.

Should you book Sinatra Tribute?

Book it if you want a complete Prague evening built around dinner, live classic songs, and an elegant cultural setting. The strongest parts are the talented musicians, the well-known program, the Art Restaurant Mánes atmosphere, and the fact that the welcome drink and three-course meal are included in the $93 price.

Go in knowing what this is: a set dinner followed by a tribute concert, not a long restaurant experience or a guided tour of Prague. The meal may feel quick, and extra drinks cost more. But for a fan of Sinatra or a couple looking for a polished night beside the river, this is a well-shaped package with plenty of familiar music and a memorable venue.
