• Regional American (Contemporary Southern) • North Dallas / Addison

Booked 125 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.

Excellent experience. Lunchtime parking was readily available at 11:45. I was seated promptly and, as indicated by the valet parking lot, there were few other diners. Surprising because I think the place is generally pretty busy, but I went on 12/23. I had the blackened Texas redfish. It was piping hot when it was served and was excellent. Service was excellent (there when we needed it but not overbearing). Price was reasonable for fresh seafood. Recommended. Excellent place for fresh seafood.
