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.

Our brunch was delicious, and the service was even better. We had the chicken and waffle, and low country breakfast with side of bacon. Thank you to Melanie and Haley! Y’all rock. Appreciated the conversations and your expertise of the menu. The Manager Fabian and GM Casey were also great to talk to as they stopped by the table to check on us. Enjoyed our outing. Thank you

Great experience! They were very sweet to move us from outside to inside after asking since there was a few bees. Both waiters we had were funny, sweet and helpful! Booking for my birthday brunch coming up!

Rachel, our waitress, was extremely enthusiastic and very informative. Based off of her description and enthusiasm my wife and I tried the crawfish boil. Neither of us had ever tried crawfish before. She was equally as helpful by explaining what to do to eat the crawfish. We would love to have her as our server the next time we come!
Ida Claire - San AntonioResponded on March 2, 2025
Malcolm! What an fantastic review! I'm so glad you loved it and the service you got from Rachel! She is stellar and we are very lucky to have her! I'm 100% getting her a meal on me for earning this review! We can't wait to have you back! Next time you stop in ask for Casey or Rachel. We'll make sure you get a dessert on us. A review this great deserves a treat!
