Price: Moderate
• Contemporary Southern • North Dallas
Booked 104 times today
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. The whole restaurant will feel like a quirky southern aristocrat’s home…just not exactly what you might think.

Jose’s vibrant story comes to life at every table through its chef-driven plates, craft cocktails, the ceramics crafted by its renowned namesake, José Noe Suro of Ceramica Suro and the hand-drawn mural adorning the walls with scenes of Guadalajara and Tequila, which was a collaboration between Suro and Dallas-based designer and artist Megan Reinhardt. More than a restaurant, José is a community with authentically innovative Mexican food at its heart. Helmed by award-winning Chef Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman, José’s culinary program is seasonal, inspired and ever evolving.

    The food was great as always. It was freezing cold however so we could hardly focus on the food. We asked if the heat could be turned up but nothing changed. The chocolate silk pie was great and we enjoyed the birthday sparkler.

    I went to The Mercury dinner with an out-of-town "foodie" guest . The Mercury is one of my favorite restaurants in Dallas. We were seated in the overflow room which was quiet. The food was fantastic (we split the fois gras and beet salad appetizers, I had the pepper-crusted tuna and he had the black cod). However, we were both disappointed in the service. At one point during the meal, someone reached down to snatch my dinner plate off the table when I was clearly still eating. When I stopped him, he asked, "Oh, are you still working on that?" which I consider to be an unprofessional way of asking someone whether or not they are "still enjoying their meal". More surprising was when the waiter brought the check to the table after we finished the main course without ever inquiring whether we were interested in dessert or anything else (e.g., coffee). This was not the quality of service I expect at The Mercury which has always been top notch in my experience.
