Best Quality Daughter houses a vibrant, chic décor and new, unique Asian-American menu. In 2018, chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, wanting to address the sparsity of Asian-American female chefs in South Texas, developed a new concept through a series of pop-up dinners called Best Quality Daughter with fellow chef Anne Ng and artist Jennifer Ling Datchuk. Today Best Quality Daughter is located in the historic Mueller House at the Pearl Brewery. Curated by chef Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, Best Quality Daughter's menu takes inspiration from her travels and the comfort food of her youth as a second-generation Chinese-American.

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.

These delicacies are paired with extraordinary wines from around the world (available by the glass, bottle and “to-go”), full bar, live music and a casual yet energetic atmosphere. The unique list of wines boasts some of the lowest prices in the area.The restaurant incorporates various private dining areas suitable for private or corporate functions and an expansive outdoor patio area where guests can enjoy dining alfresco. We can host groups anywhere from 9 up to 290 guests in our unique, flexible private event spaces.

Located less than 10 minutes from downtown and 5 from The Pearl (neighbors with the University of the Incarnate World and Trinity University), the Hayden is a throwback to the classic old school neighborhood diners and Jewish delicatessens. From matzo ball soup to hearty meatloaf, smashed burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches, house-smoked pastrami and fish, & really "big salads" - each with stories and a deep history behind them. We open early for breakfast and stay open all day and night for brunch, lunch, dinner, and cocktails (did we mention a full bar?). Whether looking for a nice-casual date night spot, place for the whole family to all get together (groups as large as 25-30), or just a table for one, we got you. This is comfort food that crosses cultures, cooked with care, and always made to make you feel at home- no matter where you're from. Come see why we are called "world famous" ;)
