Ida Claire is a funky, southern influenced restaurant & bar open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is notched up southern but has influences from different regions. You’ll most likely see dishes you’ve heard of before but with little twists here and there.

Our sandwiches will be served on biscuits & we’ll have chicken & waffles on every menu. Brunch is obviously southern & will be a big part of what we do. The drinks are takes on classics like the Mint Julep but revved up & including a lot of house made ingredients.

What an absolute amazing experience!!! Originally we had a reservation for 8. Ruben and his staff were able to accommodate our last minute change to 11. We were a little late being seated, but the staff, food, and ambiance were well worth the wait. Cherry waited on our group alone and all the food was served hot, with no discrepancies in the orders. We definitely will be back.

Eboni, Thank you so much for coming in and joining us. It is always so amazing to know that your group received such a great time with us. I will personally let Ruben and Cherry know how well they did. We are counting everyday until we have another opportunity to be able to host you again.

Roberto, it looks like you had a really rough time on your last visit. I am so sorry to see that. I assure you that that is not our standard. I'd love the opportunity to find out a little more about what happened and perhaps make it up to y'all. Please reach out to me at your fist opportunity.

Every southern meal is a treat here! Be prepared for an energetic and very loud experience, though. Today’s meals were salads and they were both delicious (Chicken & Kale and Ancient Grains). I did wish I ordered the Chicken & Waffles…they looked divine and seemed to be extremely popular!
Ida Claire - San AntonioResponded 3 days ago
Kellie, Thank you for gracing us with your presence. It was a pleasure to have you in. The Chicken and Kale and Ancient Grain salads are some must haves. Next time you are able to come in, try out chicken and waffle. They indeed are as good as they look. I would also like to say thank you so much for the great review. Can't wait to have you back in again.

We ordered all at once per the waitress request and ended up with appetizers and entrees at the same time. Made the meal go too fast and feel overwhelming. Complained several times to the waitress who glossed over complaints and treated it like a good thing. We ordered drinks. Sangria for my husband was boring, it’s not on the menu so we accepted the risk, was only wine and orange liqueur. I had the peachy keane which was the best thing I had tonight. The lazy Susan appetizer was ok. The pickled onions, fried green tomatoes were great. The cauliflower was uncooked and so crunchy it was not enjoyable. Jalapeño muffins were cold which was odd. The chips were good and pimento cheese was fine. I had the pork chop which was great but the whipped feta which I was looking forward to the most was underwhelming. The seafood pasta my husband got was not good. The peppers which were wonderful were lacking. We opted to skip dessert. Overall Ida Claire was more style than substance for dinner. I would skip but look forward to brunch in the future.

Stephanie, it sounds like you had a really rough time on your last visit. I assure you that is not our standard and I'd love the opportunity to take another swing at it. Please reach out to me at your first convivence.

Everything was great once we were seated. My only complaint is that we made a reservation for 12:45, which was confirmed the night before. We arrived on time, however it took over 30 minutes to be seated.
Ida Claire - San AntonioResponded on 13 January 2025
Jennifer, I'm so sorry we missed your seating. I hate it when that happens to me. I'm glad we made up for it in service though. Thank you for your reveiw and thank you for your feedback. We can't wait to have you back.
