• 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*

Very lively place especially on a Monday night. The service was amazing it was our first experience there and the waiter made sure to be patient and answer any questions we had. I would say be sure to have a reservation tables were always full. The food and drinks were amazing I got a dirty vodka martini which was very good. Me and my husband shared pasta and pizza and it was the perfect amount of food for us. Would most definitely be back!
