How was the 99,000 won flame stone steak and wine set?

What we ordered ourselves at Jazz 257 was the ₩99,000 set! We got the stone steak and wine set that comes with a flame show performance.

A dazzling flame performance happens as the steak comes out, so it's fun to watch too.

The meat was juicy, and the doneness was a little closer to rare than medium rare.

I cooked mine a bit more on the hot stone, haha. Being able to adjust the doneness yourself is one of the nice things about a stone steak.

The wine suited my taste too, so I finished it faster than expected. Haha.

The 8pm live jazz show from the front-row center seat

For this visit to Jazz 257, we booked ahead for the 8pm show. We sat front and center, right in front of the stage, so we could watch the performance up close.

The first song of the show was On the Sunny Side of the Street. The charm of a live jazz show is not just the playing, but also hearing explanations of the songs between numbers.

It's fun to listen to the meaning and story behind the music while you watch. The front-row center spot where we sat was a great place to see the show up close. That said, if you also want to chat while you're there, consider the side seats.

Christmas decorations and the indoor temperature

The inside of Jazz 257 was decorated with a Christmas tree and year-end decorations. It was cold outside, but quite warm indoors, so you might get hot if you wear heavy clothes.

And drinking wine warms you up even more :) Keep that in mind when you visit. Haha.

Final verdict on Jazz 257 in Songdo Central Park

Jazz 257 is a place where you can enjoy steak, wine and a live show together.

If you book around the show time, you get dinner and the performance in one go, so it would make a good date course too. We missed the show on our last visit and were disappointed, but this time we enjoyed it properly.

Next time we plan to come back for the pizza and unlimited wine combo. Honestly, the wine was so good that day that we stopped at another wine bar on the way home for more wine. Hahaha.
