Was good, everything was as expected for the type of restaurant we were looking for.

Ida Claire - San Antonio

Contemporary Southern

Alamo Heights

About the restaurant

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.

So yummy and love the ambience however it was so loud in there we could hardly talk or hear what the wait person was saying. The down side to not having carpet in restaurants anymore. Giselle was attentive and seemed genuinely interested in us! Refreshing

We had guests arrive an hour and a half late which disrupted our meal and we never got back on track. I think that is what caused our service to be less than expected.

The four of us went to this restaurant for restaurant week. Wow, were we very pleasantly surprised with the experience! The food was delicious, the cocktails were perfectly prepared and really complimented each course. The ambience was really peaceful with a view of the boats on the Riverwalk. The tables were nicely spaced so that no one felt crowded and we couldn’t hear the conversations from other tables. It was an outstanding meal in a great setting.

Full belly is our favorite brunch spot! The special, country fried steak is a favorite and I can’t stop getting the Paris baked Hippo eggs. So rich and delicious. Cinnamon rolls are made fresh every hour, so they do occasionally run out. Totally worth the wait if you can snag one. All the cocktails are so delicious also!

First and foremost, our waitress, Andrea, was OUTSTANDING!! She made our day. She was very sweet and made our visit very enjoyable. She felt like part of the family. We went to celebrate my sister's birthday and she made it even more special. The food was AMAZING!! Starting with the cinnamon roll and mimosas. We definitely will be returning and would love to sit in Andrea's section.
