Hands down, the best dining experience we have had in over a year. The atmosphere is elegant but relaxed and the menu is exquisite and delicious. The service was excellent and our server, Austin was very attentive and polite. I would urge you to dine here whenever possible and have a great experience! Seafood pasta with pepper flakes, beef talllo fries, Mediterranean shrimp salad, and wood grilled salmon. Hummingbird cake and Vice Cake.
I wish I took more pictures of the food, but I couldn't wait before I devoured these plates. I had a bowl of gumbo with crawfish (pictured) , the blackened redfish (pictured), and my husband had the steak frites. They were not skimpy with the seafood at all and my husband's steak was so tender you could cut with a fork. The main reason I wrote this 5-star review was because of the duck nachos appetizer. OH. MY. GOD. I've never had anything like that dish and I would come back just for that dish alone. I've had a favorite restaurant for 6 years and I can honestly say this is my new favorite spot. The food along with the service, was phenomenal. I've already recommended to coworkers and family. Great job guys!
Great experience. Very cute location. Wasnt too busy when I went but it can get crowded. The food was fresh and great. The cocktails… chefs kiss. Worth it
Lovely time at Ida Claire with friends this last weekend. The interior is very nicely decorated, and there were high chairs, drawing sheets, and crayons available for littles! The food was delicious--definitely loved the green fried tomatoes and biscuits. And the pasta dishes were especially loved--the red snapper with orzo was so creamy (and great to share with my baby). We stopped after outdoors, and even though it is cold in January, they had very nice/warm heaters there to sit under. There was also a cute airstream "private room" on site that you can request to sit in if it isn't booked that night. Since it is the off season, it's worth an ask--looked cute!
Brunch at Ida Claire was a great experience and much better than a previous dinner visit I had. We went on a busy Saturday afternoon, but we were seated shortly after checking in and greeted promptly by our server, Zach, who was very knowledgeable and gave great menu recommendations. The food was really good. The steak and eggs were well cooked and seasoned, the grits were creamy with goat cheese, and the sunny side eggs were done perfectly. The blueberry biscuit was a standout and honestly took me back home. I also tried the Hangover Cure since I love coconut water. It was fresh and delicious, though a little sweet for my taste. Service was efficient, the restaurant was clean, and the music was at a comfortable volume. Overall, a solid brunch spot and one I would recommend.
My first time here and was a bit disappointed their French press was out but they at least had regular coffee and tea available. I had a cranberry mimosa which was crisp and refreshing and I ate their chicken and waffles. The seasoned fried tenders paired perfectly with the gravy and the sweet waffles and syrup complimented the tenders. The service along with the calming atmosphere made it a great choice to enjoy great food and drinks.
My daughter had her graduation here because of the vegan options. We loved the rustic shabby chic look and it was easy to decorate with some Amazon finds. Slightly pricey but it is worth it! The food is amazing, the service outstanding. Waiters calling you by name hits! Highly recommend!
Great freshly made food. The berry biscuits were tasty and warm. The French pressed coffee was rich in flavor. The quiche was perfectly made and the salad completed the serving well. The Proud Mary drink was well made. Definitely will come back.
Very interesting eclectic place! Unique options. We tried the sampler. Biscuits - very good, crusty outside and light inside. Pimento cheese dip n chips - very tasty. Fried green tomatoes - good, good crust. Gochujang cauliflower - excellent! Entrées were all great. Burger ...soft bun, flavorful and juicy. Croque Monsieur. Chicken n Waffles - beautiful and very tasty. Seafood pasta ....so good! Blackened Redfish ...so delicious. Banana bread French toast! Very tender and good. We tried the cobbler and cherry pie. I enjoyed the cobbler more than the cherry pie. For me, the cherries were over powered by the spices and the crust needed a little more flake to it. Just for my taste. The others at my table loved it! All in all ....a very wonderful experience. I'd love to go back and try more!
We came here based on Google reviews. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious. Our server Steven was helpful and accommodating. Answered all of our questions and provided excellent service. The chicken and waffles were a highlight. Soft and fluffy waffles, perfectly cooked chicken, and great portion size, almost too big, but that didn’t stop me from finishing it. The Benedict was also a highlight being served on their homemade biscuits. The French press coffee was a bit weak but Steven came up with another recommendation that was even better. It gets busy so come early and parking can be but tricky as well. You won’t be disappointed with your overall experience! Ida Clare this was a fun place to come. (Pun intended) ;)
Very quaint, rustic, lively environment. This was our first time and we were met with very warm hospitality. Had to wait a bit for the food, which is understandable because it was so yummy. I had steak and eggs with chimichurri sauce. The steak's flavor exuded a firewood taste which was a most welcomed dance on my palate. My son had a burger that was devoured in seconds and my partner had the fried chicken which I stole most of it. I highly recommend this spot. It's affordable, warm and inviting, not to mention how delicious the food is.
Gumbo, Chicken & Waffles, and Shrimp & Grits were fantastic! Cocktails were great as well. The chocolate cake was disappointing though. It was good, but not as good as the rest of the cuisine and cocktails.
Great New Breakfast Option! Ida Claire now serves breakfast from 8 to 11 AM during the week, and it's absolutely worth checking out. We went early in the morning and it was surprisingly quiet, which made for a relaxing start to the day. You can see the chefs prepping in their open kitchen layout which it adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. I tried the lemon poppyseed pancakes and they were amazing! They were fluffy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet. I also had the "Ida Claire Breakfast" which came with eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and a slice of banana bread. Everything was delicious and well-prepared. They had a few drink specials going on, but I went for the hangover mocktail and it was so refreshing for a perfect non-alcoholic option for the morning. Definitely give their breakfast a try. It’s a hidden gem right now, but probably won’t stay quiet for long!
My husband took me for an anniversary dinner a couple months ago for the first time and I fell in love with the astrology trendy little vibe. The food was so good, and the service was top notch. Every single time I go I try a new dish and it never disappoints! In my last visit we had Alyssa as our waitress and she was so kind, and helpful and knowledgeable when it came to the menu. She just had an infectious smile and attitude and she deserves all the recognition and love for how amazing she is at her job!
The food was amazing! We started off with Ida’s Biscuits which were delicious and soft with a crispy outside and also came with a variety of sauces and jams which were each unique in their own way, one spicy and savory, one jelly, and a honey based butter which were all delicious! For our meals, I got a chicken fried ribeye with the house potatoes and my other half got the hot honey chicken sandwich and subbed for the lobster mac and chesese! We both loved our food! Some of the best classic lunch/ brunch meals we have had in a while! It was packed! This restaurant definitely seemed like the place to be for brunch on a weekend! The atmosphere was amazing! So much beautiful scenery to look around at before going in and despite it being such a hot day we were comfortable sitting outside because of the large fans in combination with the ceiling fans on the awning, multiple pieces of art on the back patio and side walkways and even a small water feature! Our server David was awesome! Helped us out with everything we needed and answered all of our questions about the menú! Great experience and would definitely eat here again!
Ate dinner on the patio late Sunday evening . The patio is lovely and very large with a huge fan. We sat outside with our dog and the waitress brought a large ceramic dog bowl for water. The food was delicious, server very attentive and our meal was prompt. Cookie jar dessert served inside the ceramic gnome - a must. The chocolate cookies were warm, thick and satisfying.
Great food, service and welcoming atmosphere. Our server, Destiny was awesome and took great care of us. I had not been Ida Claire in a few years and it was still a good as I remembered. Their red beans and rice are one of the best I have tasted. The jalapeno cornbread is next level.
Ida Claire's was as charming as it was delicious. The restaurant was fun, funky, eclectic, and tastefully designed. Our server Austin, was very well-informed, and professional. As for the food, it was very well executed and delicious. Our table ordered the Gumbo with crawfish, the Lazy Susan platter (fried green tomatoes, spicy cauliflower, baked biscuits w/ pimento cheese, homemade chips, and sauces) for appetizers. I ordered the Fried Chicken w/pimento Mac n Cheese, and my wife ordered the Salmon w/ a Kale and Brussels salad. The gumbo was solid, and it reminded me of my time in New Orleans. The lazy Susan platter had a lot of tasty options. I liked the biscuits with the honey butter. The Fried Chicken was everything you would want in fried chicken. Juicy, well-seasoned, and a nice airy, crispy batter. The Salmon was cooked perfectly and the salad was a nice compliment to the Salmon. I had a great time and experience at Ida Claire and would recommend this to anyone visiting San Antonio.

A Lovely Family Lunch at Ida Claire I had the pleasure of dining at **Ida Claire** in San Antonio today with my granddaughter and daughter-in-law for a relaxed lunch. (2nd visit).This quirky Southern-inspired spot in the Alamo Quarry area lives up to its reputation for charming decor—think funky farmhouse vibes with eclectic touches that make it feel warm and inviting. We had a 1:00 PM reservation, but arrived during the lunch rush and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. The hostess was very apologetic and accommodating, which set a positive tone. The place was packed with a lively buzz—families celebrating graduations, birthdays, and more. By around 1:15, things quieted down nicely, making conversation easier. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, doing his best to ensure everything went smoothly. The French press coffee was spot-on—rich and just the right strength. For food: I originally wanted the chicken pot pie, but they were unfortunately out, so I opted for the **Chicken & Waffles**. It was exactly what you'd expect from this classic: crispy fried tenders atop a bacon-laced waffle, with sunny eggs, coffee-infused maple syrup, hot sauce butter, and black pepper gravy. Solid and satisfying, though nothing overly spectacular. Note that it doesn't come with any sides. My granddaughter ordered the **Tennessee Hot Tenders** (likely their version of Nashville hot chicken). She found them sweeter than the usual spicy kick she prefers, so she didn't finish much of it. My daughter-in-law loved her **Chicken and Kale Salad** (or possibly the sandwich version with soup of the day on the side)—she raved about the fresh ingredients and flavors, and cleared her plate. Overall, the food was good Southern comfort with nice twists, though portions and presentation feel a bit pricey for what you get. The atmosphere and service made it a pleasant family outing, and I'd return for the vibe and coffee alone. A solid 4 stars—great for special lunches, just come prepared for the slightly upscale pricing!
First time here, service was friendly and helpful. Lavender matcha was great. Ida's biscuits were nice and fresh, definitely the best part of the meal. Had the chicken and waffles, the dish was nice and hot, chicken was a bit dry need more gravy but still good. Would go back to try different menu items.
This was our first time ever at Ida Claire, so I was excited to give this place a try. Our waiter did a great job of quickly attending to us, even though we arrived a bit late to a birthday party. Food: My husband loves kale, 🫣 So he ordered the Chicken and Kale salad and he loved it. The portion was generous and he ate every single last leaf of it. I, on the other hand, ordered something completely opposite... I ordered the Chicken and Waffles, for dinner! I was anxious to give it a try and I must say, it did not disappoint. The chicken was amazing! It was crispy on the outside, but yet very moist on the inside. Remember my husband... the kale salad guy, well it didn't take long for him to sneak over and steal a piece of my chicken and he loved it too. The waffles were thick and delicious and the two over easy eggs were just right. I ended up taking my waffles home and enjoying them the next day for breakfast. Atmosphere: Rustic and vintage is the vibe I got from them. There was a surprise at every corner. Just when our eyes caught a glimpse of something interesting, we'd quickly get distracted with something else! The outdoor decor was fun and brought back memories of easier days, I just loved it all. Price: It was a bit on the higher end than I'm used to, but it's a place I wouldn't mind going to for those special occasions. Disappointments: You know the feeling you get when you drop in at a friend's house and they were in the middle of an argument with their spouse but you didn't know... but you can feel the tension in the air? Yeah, that's how it felt in there. As I looked across the room, the sentiment was the same... they were doing their jobs but they were not happy. They talked to their customers ok, but they walked around with a very indifferent look on their faces, even the manager had that look. It made for a very uneasy feeling in the end. I hope it was just a fluke and not the norm. In the end we really enjoyed the food and decor, and honestly the food we ordered was amazing. I hope in the future their employees can say they enjoy it too because the truth is, it's not just the food, but it's the people who work there that make you want to return over and over again. I hope to give them a try again soon.

Food from scratch. Service and atmosphere: Both were very good. The restaurant is nice and offers many seating options, however, due to its popularity the wait for the table is a bit long. Staff were nice, knowledgeable and helpful. Food and drinks: Very good selection of cocktails and any other drinks that you may fancy. Food was a bit of a hit and miss. - The fried green tomatoes with herb sauce were spot on. The tomatoes were fried very well. Retained nice texture and paired well with the sauce. - chicken fried ribeye dish. The fried ribeye was really tasty and the sunny side up eggs went well with it. The breakfast potatoes were cut into way too small pieces and had no texture and were full of oil. I left them aside after only one mouthful. Unfortunately, our mains arrived more than 50 minutes after we placed the order as the order was not placed on time. Pricing: $$
This place fluctuates between three and five stars for us. First thing on a weekday, it is easily a five star experience. My kids love it, the staff are consistently nice, and the service is good and attentive. On weekends, though, we have experienced waits around forty minutes. The place sometimes has a strong cheese smell when you walk in, which honestly is usually a good sign. Where it drops to three stars is the fried green tomatoes. The slices were very small. It honestly looked like they picked the smallest tomatoes they could find. We received about five slices, each maybe two inches wide. At that price point, the portion felt a bit disrespectful. The flavor was fine, but the value just did not match the cost. Overall, solid service and a family friendly spot, but the appetizer left us underwhelmed for what we paid. We ended up leaving before ordering a meal.
I can’t speak highly enough about their food!! I love eggs Benedict, and their country Benedict is just about the best I’ve ever had. The crawfish and corn fritters a.k.a. hush puppies are amazing! The problem is the service! The eggs Benedict was not just room temperature, but actually cold. When we told the server she explained that it probably sat under a vent that pipes the kitchen smell out of the building and thought that was a sufficient explanation. I’ve been here several times because the food always brings me back, but the service ALWAYS SUCKS! Also, this time a had wilted/rotten lettuce in my side salad 😩
Went on a whim the other day for a weekend dinner. The place was surprisingly not as packed as I remember it being a couple years back. There was no wait for a Saturday night! \n\nI will say the …
