Sinatra in an art-and-food setting sounds like a good idea. This 140-minute concert and dinner pairs classic Frank Sinatra hits with a three-course meal at Art Restaurant Mánes. I like the show choice (you get the big sing-alongs) and I really like the dinner menu’s grown-up touches, like pea cream with fava beans and a proper beef bourguignon main.

One thing to consider: the evening runs on a tight schedule, and some people find the meal timing a bit fast—plus the food can be a little hit-or-miss on temperature.

Key Points Worth Knowing

• Three-course dinner first: you start with soup, a beef main, and dessert before the music begins
• Sinatra greatest-hits set: a full run of famous tunes, from Fly Me to the Moon to My Way
• Art Restaurant Mánes, not a plain hall: the setting connects dining with culture and the piano
• A functionalist-architecture vibe: the venue’s style and atmosphere are part of the experience
• Creative formal dress code: go polished but playful; sportswear isn’t allowed
• English hosting: the evening is guided in English with a host or greeter

What This Sinatra Tribute Really Delivers (Dinner + a Proper Show)

If you want a concert that feels like an event, this is the kind of night that makes it easy. You’re not just buying a ticket to sit quietly in a row of chairs. You’re getting a welcome drink, then a signature three-course dinner, and only after that you head into the concert portion.

The heart of it is simple: the music is the Frank Sinatra catalog most people actually know. The setlist stays in familiar territory, from romantic standards to big show-stoppers. And because it’s staged in the Mánes setting—where the piano matters—the show has that classic “small room energy” even though it’s a structured production.

The other reason I think this works is the dinner. The menu isn’t just generic “tour food.” It’s built around classic technique with Czech-friendly flavors and a chef-driven presentation. You’ll get a pea cream soup with butter croutons and fava beans, then beef bourguignon-style comfort with red wine gravy and mushroom detail, followed by sweet mini dumplings with vanilla custard.

The 140-Minute Rhythm: How the Evening Flows

The total time is 140 minutes, and the order is straightforward: dinner first, then the concert. That matters because it changes your energy levels. You’re warmed up by food and conversation, then the room turns into music mode.

In practice, this is the sort of timeline where you’ll want to arrive ready to settle in. The service moves along, so treat it like a theater night rather than a slow dinner where you linger for hours. If you prefer long, unhurried meals, you might feel slightly rushed here.

Still, the upside is that the whole thing stays punchy. You’re not waiting forever for the first note, and the music lands soon after you finish dessert.

Art Restaurant Mánes: Where the Setting Adds to the Mood

You’re dining in Art Restaurant Mánes, and the experience leans into the idea that art and food belong together. Even from the practical details, you can tell the venue is meant to be more than a place to eat. You’re at a complex that connects culture and art, and the evening highlights that link.

The location is also designed for atmosphere: you’ll be surrounded by the functionalist architecture feeling of the space, and the concert ties in the Manes Gallery-style cultural vibe. In other words, this doesn’t feel like a stripped-down concert room. It feels curated.

One extra benefit: the restaurant setup can give you views along the river area. It’s not something you control, but it’s the kind of detail that can make a “dinner and show” night feel more like a night out.

The Three-Course Dinner Menu: What You’ll Actually Be Eating

The dinner is built as a chef-prepared three-course menu. The menu is credited to Jaroslav Zahálka, so you’re not just rolling the dice on whatever gets served that day.

Soup: Pea cream with fava beans and butter croutons

The soup is pea cream served with butter croutons, fava beans, basil crème fraîche, watercress oil, and afila sprouts. It’s not a heavy start, but it is flavorful and layered. If you like meals where every bite has a little contrast—creamy base plus fresh, herbal notes—this opener fits.

Main course: Beef Bourguignon-style comfort

Your main is beef bourguignon in red wine gravy, with fried oyster mushrooms, onions, potato and celery purée. This is the part that feels most “proper dinner.” The gravy and mushrooms give it depth, and the potato-celery purée helps keep it cohesive rather than just rich.

Dessert: Sweet mini dumplings

Dessert is sweet mini dumplings with vanilla custard. It’s the kind of sweet that feels comforting and not overly complicated. It also keeps the night from ending too heavy, which helps when you move into the music.

Kids main option (and an important timing rule)

If you’re traveling with children, there’s a kids main course: chicken schnitzsel with potato purée. There’s also an alternative main course option if you order it at least 48 hours before the start time. So if anyone in your party needs a different main, don’t wait until the last minute.

The Concert Portion: A Sinatra Set Built for Recognition

After dinner, you shift from dining to music. The show is described as an unconventional Sinatra tribute in Mánes, but what matters to you is how it plays out: it’s built around the big songs people associate with Sinatra.

The featured sequence (and why it works)

You’ll hear songs including:

• 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

There’s a break after I’ve Got You Under My Skin, and the second half continues with more recognizable favorites:

• 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

That structure is smart. The first half piles up classics, then the break resets attention, and the second half keeps momentum with even more “everyone knows this one” energy—ending with My Way and Something Stupid, which are perfect closers for a crowd.

What to expect from the vibe

This is not meant to be a quiet museum-style recital. The evening is built around infectious rhythm and piano-centered performance. You’ll want to treat it like a night at a theater: keep your phone away, settle in, and let the set do its thing.

And based on the overall feedback style from the program—people consistently rate the entertainment highly—the musicians are clearly doing the work to make these songs feel alive, not just technically correct.

Price and Value: Is $93 Worth It?

At $93 per person, the value depends on what you’re comparing it to. Here’s what you actually get: a welcome drink, a three-course dinner, and the concert.

So you’re paying for a combined package rather than piecemeal tickets plus food. If you’d otherwise buy a standalone concert ticket and then find a decent dinner nearby (especially in a cultural venue zone), $93 can start to look reasonable quickly. You’re also saving decision fatigue: you don’t have to plan dinner timing around a show, and you don’t have to guess where to eat before a concert.

The only caution I’ll give is the meal pacing. If you’re the type who wants a slow, long dinner experience, you may feel the schedule squeeze. But if you like a classic “dinner first, then the fun” night, the pricing structure makes sense.

Who This Night Suits Best

This works especially well if you want:

• A high-recognition concert set: Sinatra fans and casual fans alike should feel comfortable
• A single-ticket evening: dinner and show in one plan
• A “dress up a bit” night: not costume-level, just polished
• A cultural venue feel: art, architecture, and music all in one place

It may feel less ideal if you don’t enjoy structured timing. Also, if you’re not into a dinner-course format, you might not love the tight progression.

Dress Code and Venue Rules: Quick Practical Advice

You’re encouraged to follow a creative formal dress code. The idea is “polished, but don’t be boring.” Think smart enough for a concert evening, but you can still add personality.

Also, sportswear isn’t allowed, so skip the workout hoodie-and-trainers look, even if you’re traveling light.

If you’re unsure, I’d pick something that feels “concert appropriate”: a neat top or dress shirt for men, a dress or stylish separates for women, and comfortable shoes you can stand in briefly.

Practical Tips to Make It Feel Smooth

A few things will help you enjoy the night more:

• Plan to arrive hungry but not rushed. Dinner starts right away, and the pace is part of the experience.
• If you need the alternative kids main or a different main, give notice early. You must order the alternative main at least 48 hours before.
• Keep expectations realistic about temperature and timing. The main practical downside is that service can feel quick, and there can be slight temperature inconsistency.
• Bring your best Sinatra mood. This is a hits-driven set, so sing-along energy is the best fit.

Should You Book This Sinatra Tribute and Dinner?

I’d book it if you want a fun, hits-based Sinatra evening with a real meal attached, all in a venue that feels cultural instead of generic. The combination of three-course dinner + piano-centered show is the winning formula, and the setlist is strong enough that even if you’re not a deep Sinatra scholar, you’ll still know your way around the songs.

I’d think twice if you’re picky about long dinner pacing or you hate anything that feels schedule-tight. Also, if you’re traveling with a picky eater, you’ll want to plan your main choice in advance because alternatives require at least 48 hours notice.

In short: for a polished “dinner and show” night built around famous classics, this is a solid value bet at $93—especially if you like your entertainment with a little elegance and a lot of recognition.
