This is not my 1st time at Poor Calvin's. Our favorite dish is .....Lobster Fried Rice!!! It is a staple, and someone at the table should order it. Our drinks were amazing. We had the Long Island Thai, Whiskey Sour, Mango Spice & Espresso Martini. The sip made me shimmy. The Korean Ribs and Grouper dishes were delicious. We had the goat cheese appetizer special.
