• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown
Booked 63 times today
We know the word "fusion" has been wielded about to justify everything from Hula Burgers to Mexican lasagna. But the East-meets-South brand of fusion happening at Poor Calvin's? It's creative; it's innovative; and it's probably unlike anything you've tasted in the ATL. After working in kitchens around the world, Calvin Phan wanted to shake things up a little. And so, into the mac 'n cheese, the Thai spices went. Now, Calvin's giving Southern staples, like sea bass and fried chicken, a decidedly creative Asian-inspired twist (and a nip of spice, too). He has created innovative dishes, approached in much the same way, leave the hands of Calvin Phan day in and day out. His dedication and attention to detail are evident in each dish and dessert. You won't be disappointed.*Last seating 1 hour before close*

    I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service Mr. Leo Kasinski provided to my family during our dinner outing on January 11, 2025. My wife (who I lovingly refer to as my boss) was especially pleased with the way Mr. Kasinski interacted with us, and particularly how he treated our two boys. This dinner was a last-minute decision, but when I asked my boys if they wanted to go out, my 12-year-old son immediately said he wanted to go to his favorite restaurant—The Capital Grille. While my wallet wasn’t thrilled with the choice, I've been taking him there since he was about three years old, and it remains his go-to spot. My wife and I were happy to go as well, as we’ve always received outstanding service at Capital Grille, and Mr. Kasinski did not disappoint. Not only did we know we’d be receiving great service, but we also invited a family member who had never been to The Capital Grille. She too was impressed by the quality of service. I place great importance on the energy of a restaurant, because I believe it's crucial to the overall experience. The positive energy we encountered that evening was truly uplifting. I wanted to show my appreciation to Mr. Kasinski not only with a generous tip but also with heartfelt words of gratitude for the exemplary service he provided. He truly made our evening memorable, and I’m grateful for that. Dr. B's Family

    This is a gem of a restaurant tucked into a Brookhaven strip mall. Our group of six was looking for quiet restaurant to be able to talk, laugh and enjoy each other. We got that and more. Our waiter was personable and professional, we got the outdoor feel of patio dining with indoor warmth (okay, there was a coolish breeze but it was overcome with heaters all around) and the food was inventive and delicious - from appetizers to salads to main courses. Then there was dessert, which everyone said they would be too full to eat but we ordered them anyway. My wife and I are already talking about going back to try more of everything.
