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.

My son and his new wife wanted to celebrate their special day and I can’t say how happy I am that we chose Ida Claire for dinner. We had a wonderful after wedding dinner at the Ida Claire on Maltsberger Road in San Antonio yesterday. The staff was great and the manager Ruben went above and beyond to make the dinner special. Lots of spots for some great pictures out on the patio. Thank you so much for making thier night special!

Food was good, our waiter was good but the food service was very slow. The restaurant wasn’t very busy but our food took a very long time to come out.

Stephanie! I'm so sorry about the service on your last visit. I assure you that that is not our standard. I'd love the chance to make it up you, please reach out to me!

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 on November 26, 2024
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.
