Ida Claire
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.

One of our go-to spots pre-COVID and we were happy to return. Sadly, and surprisingly, there were no longer vegan options on the menu beyond a few sides -- no more lovely hummus board. So while my friends all were able to enjoy lovely meals, I dined on asparagus and roasted veggies. Not terrible, but not great either. Please bring back the hummus board and add a vegan entree to the menu.
Service was slow but it was the first time I'd been to brunch in over a year so I was ok (it was pretty packed)! Our waiter was actually quite charming and great. The music was on point on the patio as well.
Very good...as always!
It was great! The service was outstanding.
The food was really good and our service was as well. Try to go during happy hour because the drinks are pricey after that. They have a pretty good selection of beers and cocktails. The biscuits are amazing and the bacon gravy is the best.
Server was great, food was awesome. Messed up our reservation, but quickly corrected it.
The patio had a nice ambiance. Our server was very attentive. The blackened redfish was excellent.
Easter Brunch
Service was outstanding. We had the sticky bun, fried green tomato Benedict, & the Nashville hot chicken. Neither plate disappointed. The shaved ham on the benedict, with the Tabasco gravy was a flavor explosion! Nashville hot chicken, I’ve had it in Nashville, Louisville, & Addison. Hard for me to discern which cities chicken was done better. Kudos to the kitchen staff. We’ll be back.
Our table was ready upon arrival. Service was quick and the food was outstanding! Especially for the price. Looking forward to returning again soon.
Very conducive to the date that I was trying to conduct; nice booking experience, ambiance, food, and location!
Ida Claire is a delightful restaurant. The food was delicious. The best coconut cream pie we ever had. The atmosphere fun, eclectic and homey. We want to come back, though we live far away!!!
It was great. I which it a tad bit quiet but no big deal. I love it there!
Everything was great! Manager - Melissa came by to check on us.
The food and drinks were amazing. The service even topped topped that!
So happy to discover this great place. Came for the music and the excellent reviews on the food. The Cheese/sausage board, red fish, seafood pasta, coconut cream pie, and Ding Dong cake were all superb. The drinks were excellent. The waiter was very knowledgeable and excellent. Note to him....he focused on the men and did not address the wives....just a thought. Alex Cantrell music was the bomb.
Perfect restaurant fir regular hangout for perfect meal !
We invited friends from out of town out for dinner, and I had to pick the restaurant which always makes me nervous. Our friends absolutely loved the restaurant! The atmosphere was energetic, yet quiet enough to talk and catch up. I love all the little touches in the restaurant that remind me of my Great-grandmother's house, and the food was delicious!
Service was slow and very inattentive. Food was great as always!
Food was terrific. Sides amazing. I had the pork chop with veggies amazing, my wife had 2 sides asparagus and the orzo we shared the pork chop my oldest son had the chicken and waffles delicious, my youngest son had chicken strips and he said they were the best. The custard lemonade strawberry pie was ok. Will definitely be back. Wife was disappointed that they didn’t have the bourbon pecan pie available.
Food was awesome. Service was terrible.
Great experience
Wow I’m in love with this place after my first visit! My boyfriend and some of our friends came here for Sunday brunch. We enjoyed sitting on the patio because the weather was great and the live music was pretty good. Now the best part was the FOOD!!! So amazinnnnngggg! I will be back most definitely.
Food was amazing and the atmosphere is really fun. We got seated quickly with our reservations. Great night and wonderful service. Highly recommend!
Great food, but service was a little slow. This may be due to ramping back up after Covid, so a little grace is given. However, it took 20 minutes just to get drinks, a little long for a place with a full bar.
Overall nice restaurant. Food was good. Service was as expected. Would go back.
Our server was incredible and went above and beyond regular service. The food was incredible and the restaurant was immaculate.
This was my first outing post-lockdown. We ate excellent food on the patio and listened to Maya play gorgeous music on the perfect Friday night. Loved every moment of it. Servers were wearing masks, but the restaurant was open 100%. I’m glad we were on the patio. :)
Always a great experience at Ida. We were able to sit on the patio and enjoy the amazing weather which was a great treat!
Late night Vinyl Hour was great! Highly recommend the crab beignets, they were really good!
Always a good time here, love the menu and the presentation
Raleigh our server, was OUTSTANDING! She made our entire experience exceptional.
This was my third visit to Ida Claire, but first time for brunch. I didn't think I could love it any more, but the brunch was amazing! They knock it out of the park every. single. time.
Nice place
Awesome first experience! We will be returning! Great food and service.
Little slow on initial introduction of server, and very loud so hard to talk with people at table. Food never disappoints....
Amazing service. Amazing ambience. And absolutely incredible food.
Great food and service, I have been there a couple of times and it is always great.
We loved it so much, we went there twice in two days.
Great food and service!
