About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining

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.

    I chose to spend my Mother’s Day at IC. Christopher was our server! He was truly amazing, always attentive and full of cheerful energy. He made sure our glasses were never empty and offered thoughtful recommendations from the menu. Thank you so much. The ambiance was perfect! Will definitely revisit soon!
    Ida Claire - San AntonioResponded on May 13, 2025
    Lizzette! I'm so glad you enjoyed your meal! Thank you so much for the reveiw and for giving Chris a shout out! We are very lucky to have him! He is fantastic! We can't wait to have y'all back in!

    Always good. Some Southern classics, but some new-age Southern mixed in.

    Food, service, ambiance was all excellent and the reason we keep coming back here. The delivery of food, however, was sporadic ... 2 plates, then 2 more plates, then another 1, then another 1, and then finally the last one. I know it was a busy holiday weekend, but we were waiting for food a little too long. Our server was Steve and he was super attentive, apologetic, and just overall fabulous.
    Ida Claire - San AntonioResponded on May 13, 2025
    Ralp, I'm sorry y'all had to wait so long. That is not normal for us and I hate that you had to experience that. I'm glad that Steve was able to knock it out of the park for y'all though. We would love to invite you back for another try. Please reach out to me when you can.

    Our party of 5 was seated promptly at 3pm. Once at our table, our drink and appetizer order was placed at 3:10. Our drinks arrived and our meal order was placed at 3:20. Our appetizer arrived at our table at 3:45. All but one of our meals arrived at the table at 4:00. The last one arrived at 4;15. Two of the plates were subpar and one was extremely late. We have eaten here many times and have never had any issues.

    We came on Mother’s Day so it was absolute mayhem! I’d never been before and the food was great! The manager was great and everyone handled the struggle like pros! I’m happy to say I will be going back to try breakfast and dinner! Food was really fantastic.! I had the shrimp and grits and my wife had a burger ! It was all top notch ! Good Job Guys!

    It was noticeably busy but the staff was unable to keep up and not very attentive. We sat waiting for food for over an hour with 1 drink and no water refills. The first dish (re-emerging duck nachos), was not good at all very underwhelming in the flavor department, and took over an hour to arrive. I ordered the new pork chop it was undercooked. Not safe. My wife got chicken and waffles. The batter was dry and lacked flavor. Not a good experience at all. We frequent this restaurant due to typical service and good food. Has been a miss every time we have gone in 2025. A shame

    Kimberly, I'm so sorry you had this experience. I assure you that this is not our standard. I would love the opportunity to make it up to you. Please reach out to me.
