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.

Our waiter Tyler was great! The food and drinks were excellent. The seafood pasta and Frose Hurricane are my new favorites!
Ida Claire - San AntonioResponded 1 day ago
Thank you so much for the review! I'm glad you loved Tyler's service! We will make sure to celebrate! However, something else must have gone severely wrong with your meal to have given only a 3 star review. I'd really appreciate you reaching out to at your first opportunity with a little more information so that I can apologize, try to make it up to y'all, and make sure no one else has a similarly bad time.

Excellent red beans and rice, hot chicken tenders, and lemony French toast. Drinks were great (wish the lavender haze was served more chilled - ours was room temp which was weird). Monte cristo had thick ham slices which I didn’t mind but threw off guest who ordered it. Reservation definitely recommended for brunch. Cinnamon roll looked great but was sold out when we tried to order. Will absolutely return for more menu items. Server (David) was amazing even though it was slammed when we went. Great experience.

If you take reservations, you should probably at least make an attempt to honor them. If we show up five minutes early, and you seat us 40 minutes after our reservation, something is off.
Ida Claire - San AntonioResponded on 19 November 2024
Jacob, I'm so sorry we missed your reservation time this weekend. I hate when that happens to me when I go out. We try out best to get every guest down on time. However, we dont have a policy to limit the time guests spend at each table and, as a result, sometimes guests hang out enjoying the atmosphere and company longer than we anticipated. We do our best to estimate average time spent at each table based on historical turn rates and make reservations based around that, but occasionally, especially when the weather is so nice outside, we miss. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'd love the chance to make it up to y'all on your next visit. Please reach out to me!
