$$$$Price: Moderate

• Contemporary Southern • North Dallas

Booked 146 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.

We were celebrating a birthday. Our waiter was affable and attentive. The Caviar Egg was a huge hit as well as each meal. The fish was cooked to perfection as was the filet. All in all a very nice meal and celebration.

Delicious and fresh! We had a wonderful birthday celebration meal and it was outstanding! Redfish and Salmon were cooked just right and the sides complemented the dish perfectly! Biscuits for appetizer were the best homemade biscuits I've had in a long time. We split the peach cobbler and ice cream and it was the perfect ending!
