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. The décor has a southern influence with antebellum charm & elegant polish, stated most clearly in our reworked air stream trailer parked in the garden for VIP reservations.

We made a reservation here celebrating our anniversary. The restaurant had great parking and a great outdoor area. When we got there they wished us a happy anniversary which was so nice and they had our table ready. Also, the manager came over and offered us their house made spice mix which was delicious. I got the lamb and my husband got the strip filet. Everything was amazing! They also gave us a free crème brûlée for our anniversary well. We will definitely be coming back and bringing more people here.

I wish the hostess had told us a party of about 20 women were coming 30 minutes after my party of three sat. The decibel level had us covering our ears and shouting at each other like they were at the other table. it was my two friends’ first visit to Woodlands. I had touted the nice quiet ambience and delicious food. At least the food was perfect as usual. And the waitress was wonderful.
