Sinatra Tribute. Concert & dinner.

Classic songs, Czech dinner, river views.

This 140-minute evening pairs Frank Sinatra’s best-known songs with a three-course dinner at Art Restaurant Mánes in the Central Bohemian Region. I like the smart combination of live music and a proper meal, and I especially like that the setting adds art and functionalist architecture to the night. The main thing to watch is the schedule: dinner comes first and may feel a little quick for diners who prefer a leisurely meal.

The $93 price is not just for a concert seat. It also covers a welcome drink and the signature dinner, with the performance afterward. I like the easy, built-in format for a date night or a special evening, though extra drinks cost more and the creative formal dress code means this is not a show to attend in sportswear.

Key points to know before booking

• Dinner comes before the music: You begin with pea cream soup, beef Bourguignon, and dessert, then settle in for the concert.
• The setting is part of the experience: Art Restaurant Mánes sits by the river and combines food, culture, a famous gallery, and functionalist design.
• The program covers Sinatra standards: Expect 17 songs, including Fly Me to the Moon, My Way, New York, New York, and Strangers in the Night.
• A welcome drink is included: Extra drinks can be ordered separately at the venue.
• The mood is polished but not stiff: Creative formal clothing is recommended, and sportswear is not permitted.
• The meal has a timing catch: One part of the menu may not arrive as hot as expected, and the dinner can feel rushed.

Why this evening works so well

A concert and dinner can be an awkward pairing. The food may feel like a rushed add-on, or the performance may seem like background entertainment. Here, the two parts are designed as one evening, which makes the experience easy to plan.

You arrive at Art Restaurant Mánes, receive a welcome drink, and sit down for the signature three-course menu. The concert follows the meal, so you are not trying to eat while a singer performs beside you. That simple order matters. You can focus on conversation over dinner, then give your attention to the music.

The strongest part is the sense of occasion. Sinatra’s songs are tied to tuxedos, piano bars, old films, and grand nights out. The Mánes setting supports that mood without asking you to attend a formal gala. I would treat this as an evening activity rather than a quick concert stop between sightseeing plans.

The performance is also broad enough to suit more than devoted Sinatra fans. The program includes familiar standards, film songs, romantic numbers, and big closing favorites. If you know only the most famous tracks, you will still recognize much of the evening.

Arriving at Art Restaurant Mánes

The venue is part of a complex that brings together an art restaurant, the Mánes Gallery, functionalist architecture, and riverfront views. That gives the night a visual opening before the first note is played.

The restaurant is right by the river, and the setting has been a major part of the appeal for couples attending the show. You should allow yourself a moment to notice the building and surroundings instead of treating the venue as just a dining room. The combination of piano, architecture, art, and water gives the evening a clear identity.

Your exact meeting point may vary with the option you book, so check the details attached to your reservation. The experience is offered in English, and a host or greeter is available. Small-group availability can make the evening feel more personal, although the information does not specify the size of every departure.

The dress code deserves attention. Creative formal clothing is recommended, which leaves room for personality. A jacket, dress, smart trousers, or an imaginative combination fits the spirit better than casual sightseeing clothes. Sportswear is not allowed, so do not plan to arrive in your walking-tour outfit.

The three-course dinner before the concert

The meal starts with pea cream soup. It comes with butter croutons, fava beans, basil crème fraîche, watercress oil, and afila sprouts. This is more carefully prepared than a basic pre-show bowl of soup, and the garnishes give it several textures and fresh herbal notes.

The main course is beef Bourguignon in red wine gravy. It is served with fried oyster mushrooms, onions, and a potato and celery purée. The dish fits the evening well: warm, classic, and substantial without being presented as ordinary pub food.

Dessert is made up of sweet mini dumplings with vanilla custard. It is a softer, more traditional finish after the savory main course. The menu gives you a full dinner rather than a small plate designed only to keep you seated until the concert begins.

A children’s main course is available: chicken schnitzel with potato purée. If you need an alternative main course for dietary or personal reasons, you must order it at least 48 hours before the show. That deadline is important. Do not wait until you arrive and expect the kitchen to change the menu on the spot.

The food has received strong praise overall, especially for flavor and presentation. Still, two practical points matter. The dinner may be served quickly, and one diner found parts of the food insufficiently warm. I would not book this format if your ideal evening involves a long, slow restaurant meal with generous pauses between courses.

Instead, think of dinner as a polished opening act. You get a genuine three-course menu, but the night is built around the concert. If you want more time for drinks and conversation, you can order extra beverages at the venue, though they are not included in the price.

The Sinatra program, from Fly Me to the Moon to My Way

The concert opens with Fly Me to the Moon, one of Sinatra’s most instantly recognizable songs. It is a sensible beginning because it establishes the familiar swing and romantic tone right away.

The early part of the program moves through songs associated with cinema and classic popular music. From Here to Eternity and You Only Live Twice bring a film connection, while I’ve Got a Kick Out of You and The Man I Love shift toward playful and romantic standards.

The first half also includes One for My Baby, I’ve Got a Crush on You, and I’ve Got You Under My Skin. That run gives the singer room to move from quiet storytelling to more energetic phrasing. If you prefer the reflective side of Sinatra, One for My Baby should be one of the evening’s key moments. If you want the recognizable big-band feeling, I’ve Got You Under My Skin is the stronger choice.

A break divides the program. Afterward, the music returns with Love’s Been Good to Me and Bang Bang, then moves into more famous crowd favorites. Come Fly with Me and New York, New York bring the show into full entertainment mode.

The later songs include I’ve Got Rhythm, Witchcraft, and Strangers in the Night. The concert then builds toward My Way, followed by Something Stupid. This is a well-known set of songs, not an obscure tribute built for specialists.

The 17-song program also includes music written by major composers such as Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Jimmy Van Heusen, and Sammy Cahn. That matters because the show is about more than copying one singer’s sound. It presents the musical world connected with Sinatra, including standards that have lived well beyond their original recordings.

There is no need to know every song in advance. You can simply enjoy the change of pace. Still, listeners who already love Sinatra will get the most from the careful selection of signature numbers and the nostalgic film connections.

Live musicians and the value of the concert

The musicians are a central reason to choose this evening instead of playing Sinatra recordings over dinner. The performance has been praised for talented musicians and strong entertainment value, and the live setting gives the songs room to breathe.

The piano is part of the visual character of the venue, too. In a setting that combines the gallery, restaurant, architecture, and river, the instrument helps connect the room to the music. You are not just buying a meal with a singer added at the end.

The program length is substantial enough to feel like a real concert. With the dinner, welcome drink, performance, and break included within 140 minutes, the event is compact but complete. You should have time for a full evening without giving up the rest of your night.

The balance depends on what you want. I would choose this for familiar music, a polished venue, and an easy date-night plan. I would not choose it if you want an intimate jazz club where the main focus is improvisation, or a long gourmet dinner where the food takes center stage.

What the $93 price includes

At $93 per person, the price is best judged as a package. You receive three distinct elements:

• A welcome drink
• A signature three-course dinner
• The Sinatra concert

The value is strongest if you would otherwise pay separately for dinner and evening entertainment. The venue, meal, and show are arranged together, so you avoid deciding where to eat before a performance or how to get from a restaurant to a concert.

The price is less attractive if you are mainly interested in hearing the songs and would be happy with a short, inexpensive music performance. It is also worth remembering that additional drinks are not included. The dinner menu is fixed unless you arrange an alternative main course at least 48 hours ahead.

For a visitor planning a special evening, I consider the package fair because the setting is part of the appeal. You are paying for a complete night out, not simply a seat. The riverfront location and art-focused venue give the dinner a sense of place that a standard restaurant meal would not provide.

Who should book this Mánes experience?

This works especially well for couples. The river setting, dressier atmosphere, dinner, and familiar songs create a natural date-night rhythm. It is also a good choice for anyone who wants a cultural evening without committing to a full opera, ballet, or lengthy theater production.

Sinatra fans have an obvious reason to book. The song list includes the classics most people hope to hear, from Fly Me to the Moon to My Way. You also get less obvious selections, so the show is not limited to the same two or three songs.

I would recommend it to first-time visitors who want an evening with a clear plan. The 140-minute duration is useful when you have only a few nights in the region and want to combine food, architecture, art, and music.

Families can also consider it, especially because a children’s chicken schnitzel with potato purée is available. The concert format and formal dress recommendation may suit older children better than very young ones, but the provided information does not set an age limit.

This is less suitable for anyone with strict dietary needs unless an alternative main course can be arranged ahead of time. The menu details only identify the standard dishes and the children’s option, so ask before booking if you need specific changes.

Practical timing and comfort tips

Plan to be ready for dinner first and music second. That order is fixed, and knowing it helps you set expectations. You will not be eating during the concert.

Because the meal can feel quick, arrive mentally prepared for an efficient service. If you want a slower pace, extra drinks can be ordered at the site, but the dinner itself appears designed to keep the evening moving toward the performance.

Wear something polished with a creative touch. The recommendation is not strict black tie, but sportswear is prohibited. This is a good chance to dress for the character of the music without becoming uncomfortable.

The activity is wheelchair accessible. English-language hosting is available, and some options offer a small-group format. Since the meeting point may change according to the option booked, check your confirmation carefully before setting out.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your schedule is still changing.

My final take: a polished night with one timing caveat

I would book the Sinatra Tribute at Art Restaurant Mánes if I wanted a stylish, easy evening built around familiar live music. The best features are the riverfront art setting, the complete three-course dinner, and a strong program that includes the songs most people associate with Sinatra.

I would keep the dinner timing in mind. This is not a slow restaurant experience, and a few diners may find some food arrives less hot than ideal. Those are real considerations, but they do not cancel out the appeal of the complete package.

Choose it for a date, a celebratory night, or a relaxed cultural outing with a clear beginning and end. Skip it if you want experimental music, a long meal, or a casual venue where you can dress as you did for sightseeing.
