Restaurants near Emma Millican Park

End of the week connection time for wifey and I over dinner at The Optimist was perfect. The ambiance, food, and the personableness of our server were all aligned for a great night out.

We trully enjoyed our experience. The staff was completely professional and helpful. The staff was polite and $49 a month. The only thing was the restaurant was a little cold

Between the excellent food, drinks and service, it’s impossible to come here and not have a good time. The lobster crawfish wontons and fried green tomatoes with Korean beef are must-haves. I have yet to find a great bao spot in Atlanta but was so happy to try their duck bao special which was so good! The Asian fusion cuisine here is solid but the bartenders here show an equal passion for their cocktails and deserve their own shout out. Their “Pho” drink… what?! Don’t ask, just order it. When it comes to food reviews, I care about taste above anything else… ambiance, service, noise… idc, but I do want to mention that you will not find a poor server at Poor Calvin’s… every single person who works here does their best to ensure you’re having a good experience and it shows.

Brandon was an excellent server. He was training another server and his attention to both ensuring a quality customer experience as well as an effective employee training was apparent. The salmon was fantastic, and the spinach + artichoke dip was a great start. If you’re around during the holidays, ask about the off menu egg nog cocktail!

Our first time was awesome! Great food, even better service! Shout out to Carlos (Hot Cross Buns) and the team for great recommendations and service! We will be back! Try this if you are in town. You will not be disappointed!
