• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown

Booked 69 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*

The experience overall was great. The food was very tasty and delicious. The bulgogi bun was great. A hint of spice, sweet and tangy. Lobster rice is a must!. The pork and grits was a lovely surprise. The scallops had an amazing effect on me. They were seared. They were crispy, and peppery. But after the initial bite they were tender and soft as scallops should be. Delicious. Small plate vibe. Taste as much as you can.

Location needs no explanation…the views are fab! Service was surprisingly attentive and friendly yet still casual. The food had good flavor, although a couple of items came out lukewarm even though it didn’t take long to receive them after ordering. Recommend all around and would return.
