• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown
Booked 65 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*

    An outstanding restaurant. The food, service and ambience are all excellent. It is our go to restaurant whenever we visit Atlanta, in fact we eat there twice during each 4-5 day visit. This is a very popular restaurant, rightly so, that I would encourage you to book your reservations thru Open Table to make sure you too an enjoy this establishment.

    New favorite restaurant in Atlanta. My waiter was superb. There were four items I would have loved and asked him which one I should go with. He recommended the third cheapest one and said I would not need any $$ sides. And he was right. Grouper was delicious and enough food in total. Wow! I’d be back again tonight but there are no open tables. Make reservations in advance!!

    Buffet was stocked well and everything was delicious. My favorites were the fried chicken, lamb chops, catfish, grits and crispy potatoes . My only suggestion would be to slightly undercook the salmon when putting it on a buffet because it will continue to cook. The salmon was very dry and underwhelming.

    This was about the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been to. The views are spectacular. The service is exceptional. It is pricy, but the ambiance was so nice I didn't think about it. It will be our special occasion place for dinner.
