• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown
Booked 54 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*

    We came to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday. They were able to accommodate us with a booth request. They had a special menu with the words ‘happy birthday’ on his menu, cute touch. Our server, Brett, was phenomenal. Every dish we ordered he explained to the T, so no unknown surprises. He saw I was taking photos and grabbed another candle for me! Great experience once again. We love coming here and can’t wait for next years new menu! Cheers!

    The food and ambiance were a one of a kind experience. Very rarely do I experience food that brings out an emotion of such joy and surprise and this place brought that without any hype or expectation. Our server was fun, friendly, and read the table perfectly with great timing and great knowledge of the food and place. This place is worth the trip from half way across the country. Well worth the price as well. The complementary valet parking was a lovely surprise for us as well. Spent around $100 to $150 for each person but had 2 to 3 cocktails each to go with each part of our meal. The menu apparently changes with the season. I cannot wait to return again!

    We were celebrating a birthday dinner at AG and had a wonderful experience. Since this is a restaurant affiliated with a higher end hotel, we certainly had expectations that it would be a good experience. The food was excellent, but what truly makes the experience is the service. Our server, Vangel, was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. He was outstanding and we enjoyed the entire experience.

    My experience was great. I had the feat of the 7 fish menu. The food was exquisite, my server was knowledgeable, attentive and professional. The ambiance and the decor is very cozy, romantic but modern. What I could criticize is the wait between the course went a lil over the reasonable time considering that the restaurant was not crowded. The ladies room decor did not meet my expectations considering the restaurant standard and price. Overall, I would rate it a 8.5/10
