• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown

Booked 32 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*

First time and loved the experience. Fully decorated for Christmas and started our holiday off perfectly - even saw Santa and Mrs Claus. The food was delicious and so was the white sangria!

We have been to Saints + Council twice and both times were excellent. Our first visit was before going across the street to the Atlanta Symphony. The second was with our out of town guests. The ambiance was great. The food was excellent. Yousef, our waiter, did a very good job explaining the menu and making recommendations. We will go again.

First time going there. Everything was really good! This was my first time eating chicken burger and they didn’t disappoint me. Food was very good with reasonable prices. Staff was nice and polite. We made a reservation and didn’t have to wait at all. We arrived and went straight to the table. The even took in count my request for space for the stroller. I would recommend it. The only bad thing is that brunch is only for weekends .
