• Contemporary Southern • North Dallas

Booked 96 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.

Our broad offering includes truffle oil and Parmigiano risotto, bay scallops with home made pesto and an inspired Vin Santo risotto with asparagus and prosciutto.A taverna in Italy is a special place where customers become friends and family.

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!

We love Antonio's and have been customers for over 10 years. The food and service at the bar with Angie and dinner with Sergio serving was excellent. The only thing that was very disappointing is that we wanted to smoke some cigars and have a night cap outside after dinner. We were told that there will be no smoking until 9 pm. It was not busy outside and we were hoping to get a table by the valet where nobody was sitting - we were told we could not smoke there because of the time is was about 815 pm. We left and went to Chamberlains cigar lounge.
