Fusion / Eclectic
Downtown

At the moment, there's no online availability within 2.5 hours of your request. Do you have another time in mind?

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.

Amazing staff that made you feel welcome as soon as you walked in the door. The food was amazing and so were the cocktails. There is nothing Poor about Calvin. Love the ambience. What I really love is we were a couple of minutes early and the door was locked and they saw we had walked a little bit and it was cold outside and they opened the door for us that spoke volumes.

I have eaten at about every steakhouse in Atlanta, but i always return to Capital Grille for a consistently great steak and excellent service. Mike, the server, was personable, efficient and very accommodating of every request. I would put in near the top of servers I have had the pleasure of knowing. Michael, the Manager, does an amazing job of keeping the place running smoothly while directly communicating with the diners. Finally, the porcini rubbed steak is the go to for anyone that enjoys flavor and a tender steak..

A restaurant that triumphs in taste over trend, Hal's is not the typical highbrow restaurant so often equated with food of this quality. It is a place of white table cloths, flowers, warm brick, & candlelight.

NOT ALLOWED: Beach Flip Flops & Slides, Baseball Caps, Beanies, T-Shirts (only collared-shirts allowed), Sweat Pants & Jogging Pants, Baggy Pants, Shorts with Sneakers, Sweatshirts & Hoodies, Sport Leggings, Athletic / Active Wear, Clothing that is overly exposing, Extreme Short Shorts/Dresses/Skirts.

Your comfort is our priority; however, we do not feel that overly casual attire is acceptable for our restaurant. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Thank you, Management

About the restaurant
Kyma is a contemporary Greek seafood tavern like no other. The cuisine is inventive yet approachable that is true to its Mediterranean origin. Kyma is dramatic, with a dazzling display of constellations on the deep blue ceiling, white marble columns and a bold fresh fish display. The welcoming patio, with its plush furniture and white linen curtains, offers the ideal setting to savor a glass of Greek wine and Kyma’s array of appetizers. Fresh, healthful food, attentive Greek hospitality and festive atmosphere await at Kyma. Proper dress is required. “A true labor of love. Bravo.” -The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

We had a variety of appetizers and sides -- all of which were delicious. But the best part were the cocktails by the awesome bartender. Wow, he has a knack for combining flavors, second to none. We had the Morpheus and Hermes. Can't wait to have them again. I'm grateful to have been introduced to Amaro Montenegro in the Hermes. I'm going to try with other cocktails at home!
