About the restaurant

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.

Every time we dine here, hubby & I leave with a to-go box as their portions are abundant. The food & cocktails are always consistently delicious. Our server, Lena, was so friendly and walked us through menu selections based on our preferences (she was spot on with her recommendations). Next time we’re in ATL, we’ll be sure to visit.

Like coming unstuck in time in this ageless gem -- a great experience. The Caesar is superb. Three Cheese Tortellini in a preserved lemon cream sauce. Divine. The Dover sole. A beautiful risotto. Great wine list. Vested waiters. Martinis filled to the absolute brim transported with remarkable skill. A+
