Bad Idea is East Nashville's buzziest new restaurant from Sommelier Alex Burch and Executive Chef Colby Rasavong. It was honored as one of the 50 Best Restaurants in America in 2024 by the New York Times. New York Times food writer Brett Anderson remarks “Bad Idea may well be what many seasoned diners thought when they heard there was a wine bar specializing in envelope-pushing Lao food opening inside an East Nashville church. But given the level of cooking here, the name turned out to be a self-aware joke, rather than a
self-own…[Rasavong] invests the weight of his life experience in food that stretches the boundaries of
Southeast Asian cooking to the edge of Appalachia. And the wine list is wise beyond this restaurant’s
years, mixing tantalizing obscurities, affordable crowd pleasers and connoisseur selections you’ll rarely
find poured by the glass.” Bad Idea was also named a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in the 2025 James
Beard Awards.

Por qué son un Ícono

Del equipo editorial de OpenTable: Chef Colby Rasavong leans on his Lao heritage at this one-of-a-kind East Nashville wine bar that Bon Appétit dubbed one of its most eagerly anticipated openings in 2023. Sommelier Alex Burch's exciting, global wine list, which includes selections from South Africa, Hungary, and Portugal, sets the stage for Rasavong's ever-changing menu. Expect inventive dishes like a sausage roll with Calabrian chiles and lemongrass, mushroom tartare, and pot pie and noodle soup all served in a spacious bi-level former church with arched windows overlooking the street. The New York Times named Bad Idea one of its 50 favorites around the country in 2024.

A heavenly experience of French inspired Laotian fare in a former church building. We ordered almost everything on the menu for a delicious,decadent experience. Our favorites were the pillowy smooth scallops and the spicy crispy rice. The service is outstanding and cocktail and wine list were creative and paired well with the food. It’s a good idea to go there regularly.

We were excited to try Bad Idea, and wanted to like it but the food fell short. We ordered 5 dishes, including the steak. Two of the dishes, the scallop crepe and the dumplings were very good, but the other 3 didn’t hit the mark. The plating was nice, but the crudo was very bland and the flavors did not work together. The steak was also very bland, and again the flavor combinations seemed unbalanced and off. We’re glad we tried it, but will probably not return. I will say the service and people were very nice, informative and kind so that was a plus.

Phenomenal dining experience. I love the shareable concept, great coursing, flavors were absolutely incredible (especially the ricotta cake and the crispy rice!). Our server showed great menu knowledge, both food and wine! Her and the stagiare with her made us feel very comfortable and provided great service and conversation! Definitely recommend Bad Idea!
