Price: Expensive
• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown
Booked 64 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*

    Our group of 6 (women ages 42-78 years old) really enjoyed our first experience here. We were seated quickly, which included accommodations for a wheel chair. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything was seasoned perfectly. We were happy the music wasn’t loud… we could hear it, but could hear each other clearly with a normal speaking tone. We will return!!

    Overall a great experience. The server was amazing. The bread is to die for. The oysters were delicious. The peel /eat shrimp appetizer was great. The octopus appetizer was great. We also had the she crab soup, the mushroom side, the hushpuppy side. The entrees were the scallops dish and the flounder dish. Overall great. The wait time between dishes seemed very long. Not a place to go if you are on a tight schedule for event after dinner. Suggestion may be to order everything early on and let them glow it. Definitely will be back for oysters and appetizers.

    We were met and seated upon arrival. Our server was Rueben, and he was very informative on meals, appetizers and specials etc. He did a great job explaining tastes, food pairings. The food was phenomenal! Tastes and portions were perfect. We couldn’t have asked for better care and service for the entire meal. Highly recommend this location and we will be back!

    I had a really pleasant experience. I went in to eat for one even though I put one person on the OpenTable reservation. It showed two on their computer so they were unsure. But overall, it looks really great. There was one guy that wasn’t a server but was making sure my drinks were filled, and I had what I needed, which was really great to see the partnership between him and the waiters
