Is Jazz 257 in Songdo good for selfies?

The inside of Jazz 257 has slightly dim lighting, which makes it even moodier and a real selfie hotspot. Once I got inside, the atmosphere was truly so good! I took lots of selfies here and got a life-shot, so my current profile picture was taken at Jazz 257, haha.

Jazz 257 anniversary fire show and giant bouquet event

Jazz 257 Songdo Central Park Branch puts on a pretty fire show for anniversaries like this! We hadn't made a reservation, but if you book ahead you can enjoy your anniversary in a place with this great a mood!! Some guests had come to celebrate their 1,000-day anniversary, haha.

They even got a giant bouquet, and watching from the next table, I was secretly a little jealous, haha.

Performance seats and lake-view seating areas at Jazz 257

Jazz 257 seating: stage-view seats or lake view?

Seating at Jazz 257 is split into two main areas: seats with a good view of the jazz performance and Central Park lake-view seats. This time I sat in the front seats with the best view of the show, but a pleasant breeze blows at the lake-view seats too, so I think those would be nice next time!

How is the red and white house wine at Jazz 257?

At Jazz 257 I ordered the house wine, both red and white! My boyfriend loves wine and said the Jazz 257 house wine was good~

Drinking wine while watching the jazz performance felt like being abroad! Listening to live music while looking out at the Central Park lake was a healing, resort-like moment~

Jazz 257 flame-show stone steak: is the portion generous?

At Jazz 257 I ordered the flame-show performance stone steak, and it was a moment where fire and jazz came together! The steak tasted good, and with a performance like this on top, it made me even happier. It felt like a romantic anniversary night.

I hadn't eaten dinner at all, and the stone steak portion was big, so I ended up pretty full!

The bowl underneath is stone, so the food stayed warm for a long time, and there was a nice variety of fruit that went well with the meat! It paired especially well with the red wine~ And eating steak while watching the jazz performance made me so happy!
