• Contemporary Southern • North Dallas

Booked 55 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.

Jose’s vibrant story comes to life at every table through its chef-driven plates, craft cocktails, the ceramics crafted by its renowned namesake, José Noe Suro of Ceramica Suro and the hand-drawn mural adorning the walls with scenes of Guadalajara and Tequila, which was a collaboration between Suro and Dallas-based designer and artist Megan Reinhardt. More than a restaurant, José is a community with authentically innovative Mexican food at its heart.

Lovers Seafood is a favorite of ours. Great vibrant ambiance but still intimate. The food and service are always consistently great. Patrick is a terrific server - professional, attentive and personable.

I wish the hostess had told us a party of about 20 women were coming 30 minutes after my party of three sat. The decibel level had us covering our ears and shouting at each other like they were at the other table. it was my two friends’ first visit to Woodlands. I had touted the nice quiet ambience and delicious food. At least the food was perfect as usual. And the waitress was wonderful.

Upon arrival last evening, one of my guests was already waiting for me. The front hostess had already welcome to them, and was very cordial to me when I arrived as well while walking in, we noticed there was a cool, airstream trailer parked outside. We asked if it was potentially available. The staff said yes we’ll go set it up for you right away. Then they assured us to our seats and we had a wonderful private dinner and a very cool vintage air streamer. What a wonderful experience and incredible staff and exciting menu. Highly recommend!
