Amazing staff that made you feel welcome as soon as you walked in the door. The food was amazing and so were the cocktails. There is nothing Poor about Calvin. Love the ambience. What I really love is we were a couple of minutes early and the door was locked and they saw we had walked a little bit and it was cold outside and they opened the door for us that spoke volumes.

I must say I'm a picky eater when it comes to my steak. I had to send it back, and that's a first for a steakhouse in Atlanta. Kevin was absolutely great he tried his best at my crazy accommodations with my steak. GREGORY was an absolutely gentleman. I was having a time with parking, and he came outside to check and see if everything was good. My food eventually came out, piping hot and to seal the night that peach cobbler was EVERYTHING. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

This is the restaurant I've been dying to find since moving to Atlanta 3 years ago. This is officially the best brunch PERIODT. The vibe is so cool, so O4W. The hostess has the mostest and our server was so sweet and fun. Our new years day brunch was the total package. We're already planning our second meal later this week. I will be a regular.
