   This was the fourth time I've eaten at Ida Claire. All other times were outstanding. This visit included four people. All meals were good except for the eggs were cold on my husband's meal.

   Food was mediocre. Drinks, as usual, were fabulous though!

   If you like a huge room full of strangers talking loudly and spicy food, this is the place for you! They even make spicy mac n cheese!! I choked on the first bite and coughed for at least 2 minutes before sending it back! The fried chicken was good, although with some spice. I was able to eat it. The sweet potato fries were good but also a bit spicy, even though I ordered it without spice. To calm my stomach down, I ordered apple pie a'la mode, which was good, but you need a knife to cut the crust. It was tasty though. My friend had 1/2 a sandwich (Monte Cristo) and cup of gumbo. She liked both. With iced tea for me and water for her, the bill exceeded $50 by a few cents!!! That's prior to a tip.........................too spicy for my stomach and too expensive to return.

   It was fine. Way too noisy could barely hear your guest.

   Excellent fried chicken and chicken and waffles. Would not recommend the biscuits. They were smaller and not as good as I remembered. Sweet potatoes were too spicy. Should tell customer of this fact when ordering.

   Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the fried chicken and chicken and waffles. Our biscuits usually get rave reviews, so we’re sorry they weren’t up to par this time. We’ll also make sure to give a heads-up about the spice level of the sweet potato fries next time. Your thoughts mean the world to us, and we can’t wait to have you back for a more flavorful experience!

   It was a wonderful dining experience. I do not like southern food, but appreciated the pun in the name “Ida Clare.” That’s why I came. I was not disappointed. The entry is inviting. The book art on the wall was so clever! Although I was prepared to have fried this ant that because it is a southern food restaurant, the kale salad was such a pleasant surprise. That’s so thoughtful. I enjoyed the creativity in the addition of mustard seeds in the salad. I loved my grapefruit mocktail. I would have enjoyed some homemade vanilla ice cream with dark chocolate syrup and strawberries 🍓. Or how about strawberry shortcake??
