Dido Jazz Lounge — Restaurant in Seoul

Last evening, we attended the Dido jazz club located in Seoul, Korea. It is an unassuming establishment with a primary focus on the musical experience. A peculiar requirement necessitates that patrons order from the food menu despite a minimum charge, a policy whose rationale remains unclear, especially for those purchasing expensive wine yet still obligated to order food. However, the quality of the live jazz performance significantly compensated for any drawbacks. The ensemble comprised a drummer, a double bass player, and a pianist, creating a harmonious backdrop. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the female vocalist, whose voice seemed to transport us to the era of jazz’s inception. Her unique interpretations of standard jazz compositions were both refreshing and memorable. Her performance alone justifies future visits, despite the overall experience being somewhat ordinary.

So wrong and...
