Bad Idea

A somm-driven restaurant and wine bar from Alex Burch — its name a wink, its execution anything but. Burch's serious wine program (a Sommelier Award behind it) now pairs with chef David Breeden, who spent thirteen years at The French Laundry, as the concept shifts toward modern American cooking. Already carrying a Michelin recommendation, it's a small, ambitious room where the bottle list and the plate are equally considered. Come for a chef-and-somm collaboration that punches well above its playful name.
