Charming

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.

If you take reservations, you should probably at least make an attempt to honor them. If we show up five minutes early, and you seat us 40 minutes after our reservation, something is off.

Jacob, I'm so sorry we missed your reservation time this weekend. I hate when that happens to me when I go out. We try out best to get every guest down on time. However, we dont have a policy to limit the time guests spend at each table and, as a result, sometimes guests hang out enjoying the atmosphere and company longer than we anticipated. We do our best to estimate average time spent at each table based on historical turn rates and make reservations based around that, but occasionally, especially when the weather is so nice outside, we miss. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'd love the chance to make it up to y'all on your next visit. Please reach out to me!

It was my daughter and I first time here. Melania (whose name rythmes with lasagna” was so personably and had great drink and food recommendations. She was attentive and made aware that all food was fresh so may take a little longer. That was not an issue since we were able to sit outside and enjoy the weather with our cocktails. We split the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich and lemon poppyseed pancakes because we wanted both salty and sweet meals. We truly enjoyed our visit and would recommend to all.
