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.

I was expecting better food and service. The order took more than an hour to get it.
Ida Claire - San AntonioResponded 5 days ago
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.

Food was fantastic. Service was attentive. No complaints except it is difficult to park-the lot is small so plan appropriately. The business next door will tow!
