• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown

Booked 44 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*

This was my last day coming to Atlanta and I’m so glad I chose this restaurant to end the night with I ordered the farm house burger. It was so good from a rate from 1-15 I would say it’s a 11. I say that because I put fried hard egg on it. Now I have to come back and try again and more . The service was really good. I will comeback.

Had a reservation and got there 15 minutes earlier and they were able to kindly seat us. Place is gorgeous and ambiance was warm. Bri took care of us and was spectacular, super patient, attentive and thorough on explaining the menu to us. Food was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. Don’t skip the soft serve with olive oil, it was incredible!
