The 10 Best Fancy Restaurants In Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"The Bad Idea space used to be a church, but a completely different kind of religious experience is happening here now. The energy inside of this East Nashville spot just feels celebratory—from the chatty groups of friends toasting with bottles of gruner veltliner to the couples at the bar digging into pithivier cheeseburgers at Happy Hour. The Lao-inspired food here is interesting and thoughtful—like a starter of french toast topped with caviar and kayja jam—but it’s the wine program that really makes this a great place to celebrate. Weird and delicious bubbles and funky skin-contact whites are just a few choices off the 3,000-bottle menu. And with two-ounce pours as a tasting option, you can focus your commitment on the person in front of you. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
