We serve up tasty farm-to-kitchen dishes and cocktails, all made from scratch with ingredients sourced from local and regional farms and markets. We use slow-cooking methods on our wood grill and spit and in our smoker because it tastes better that way. Come dine with us at our communal tables, in one of our booths, on our sofas or rocking chairs, or perhaps on the porch next to the fireplace.
Relaxed restaurant & bar offering homestyle cooking & bar bites, plus cocktails & beer.

Brunch at Ida Claire was a great experience and much better than a previous dinner visit I had. We went on a busy Saturday afternoon, but we were seated shortly after checking in and greeted promptly by our server, Zach, who was very knowledgeable and gave great menu recommendations.
The food was really good. The steak and eggs were well cooked and seasoned, the grits were creamy with goat cheese, and the sunny side eggs were done perfectly. The blueberry biscuit was a standout and honestly took me back home. I also tried the Hangover Cure since I love coconut water. It was fresh and delicious, though a little sweet for my taste.
Service was efficient, the restaurant was clean, and the music was at a comfortable volume. Overall, a solid brunch spot and one I would recommend.

Hands down, the best dining experience we have had in over a year. The atmosphere is elegant but relaxed and the menu is exquisite and delicious. The service was excellent and our server, Austin was very attentive and polite. I would urge you to dine here whenever possible and have a great experience!

Food from scratch.
Service and atmosphere:
Both were very good.
The restaurant is nice and offers many seating options, however, due to its popularity the wait for the table is a bit long.
Staff were nice, knowledgeable and helpful.
Food and drinks:
Very good selection of cocktails and any other drinks that you may fancy.
Food was a bit of a hit and miss.
– The fried green tomatoes with herb sauce were spot on. The tomatoes were fried very well. Retained nice texture and paired well with the sauce.
– chicken fried ribeye dish. The fried ribeye was really tasty and the sunny side up eggs went well with it. The breakfast potatoes were cut into way too small pieces and had no texture and were full of oil. I left them aside after only one mouthful.
Unfortunately, our mains arrived more than 50 minutes after we placed the order as the order was not placed on time.
Pricing:
$$

We came here based on Google reviews. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious. Our server Steven was helpful and accommodating. Answered all of our questions and provided excellent service. The chicken and waffles were a highlight. Soft and fluffy waffles, perfectly cooked chicken, and great portion size, almost too big, but that didn’t stop me from finishing it. The Benedict was also a highlight being served on their homemade biscuits. The French press coffee was a bit weak but Steven came up with another recommendation that was even better. It gets busy so come early and parking can be but tricky as well. You won’t be disappointed with your overall experience! Ida Clare this was a fun place to come. (Pun intended) 😉

I wish I took more pictures of the food, but I couldn’t wait before I devoured these plates. I had a bowl of gumbo with crawfish (pictured) , the blackened redfish (pictured), and my husband had the steak frites. They were not skimpy with the seafood at all and my husband’s steak was so tender you could cut with a fork. The main reason I wrote this 5-star review was because of the duck nachos appetizer. OH. MY. GOD. I’ve never had anything like that dish and I would come back just for that dish alone. I’ve had a favorite restaurant for 6 years and I can honestly say this is my new favorite spot. The food along with the service, was phenomenal. I’ve already recommended to coworkers and family. Great job guys!

My first time here and was a bit disappointed their French press was out but they at least had regular coffee and tea available. I had a cranberry mimosa which was crisp and refreshing and I ate their chicken and waffles. The seasoned fried tenders paired perfectly with the gravy and the sweet waffles and syrup complimented the tenders. The service along with the calming atmosphere made it a great choice to enjoy great food and drinks.

Very quaint, rustic, lively environment. This was our first time and we were met with very warm hospitality.
Had to wait a bit for the food, which is understandable because it was so yummy. I had steak and eggs with chimichurri sauce. The steak’s flavor exuded a firewood taste which was a most welcomed dance on my palate.
My son had a burger that was devoured in seconds and my partner had the fried chicken which I stole most of it.
I highly recommend this spot. It’s affordable, warm and inviting, not to mention how delicious the food is.

Very interesting eclectic place! Unique options. We tried the sampler. Biscuits – very good, crusty outside and light inside. Pimento cheese dip n chips – very tasty. Fried green tomatoes – good, good crust. Gochujang cauliflower – excellent! Entrées were all great. Burger …soft bun, flavorful and juicy. Croque Monsieur. Chicken n Waffles – beautiful and very tasty. Seafood pasta ….so good! Blackened Redfish …so delicious. Banana bread French toast! Very tender and good. We tried the cobbler and cherry pie. I enjoyed the cobbler more than the cherry pie. For me, the cherries were over powered by the spices and the crust needed a little more flake to it. Just for my taste. The others at my table loved it! All in all ….a very wonderful experience. I’d love to go back and try more!

My daughter had her graduation here because of the vegan options. We loved the rustic shabby chic look and it was easy to decorate with some Amazon finds. Slightly pricey but it is worth it! The food is amazing, the service outstanding. Waiters calling you by name hits! Highly recommend!

Great freshly made food. The berry biscuits were tasty and warm. The French pressed coffee was rich in flavor. The quiche was perfectly made and the salad completed the serving well. The Proud Mary drink was well made. Definitely will come back.
