• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown
Booked 67 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*

    Amazing high quality dinner experience with my family! My mom is a trained culinary chef and travels with my dad, dining at restaurants around the globe and both of them were impressed as well! Firstly, they loved their drinks off the cocktail menu. She got a "hail mary" and found it delicious (old fashioned lover). We really enjoyed the caeser salad with fried capers. Everyone enjoyed their mains; salmon, papardelle with roasted red peppers, shrimp and chorizo, and wild caught branzino all cooked to perfection! We sat in a cute booth in the corner of the restaurant. Our surroundings got a bit more noisy at one point, which made it hard to have a conversation but that's my only qualm. Everyone enjoyed their meal and service! I'd 10/10 recommend and come by again.
