Food was amazing. Great service and fantastic wine list/somm. Highly recommend
This was my first time trying Bad Idea and it won’t be the last! The inside is beautiful, and the service was fantastic. Heather is incredible and truly made my visit! I wasn’t crazy about the chicken, but the pimento cheese was delicious!
Wine was great, dinner was incredible, chocolate mouse was the best chocolate dessert I’ve ever had, and the service from Dom was absolutely excellent!
