• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown
Booked 79 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*

    I had the rigatoni with bolognese sauce for my main entree. We also ordered the meatballs and a caprese salad as appetizers. My girlfriend had the lobster ravioli in a cream sauce it was all very good. Our server (Carson) was phenomenal and very kind. They had an artist there that drew a picture of my girlfriend and I and she did an amazing job (her name is Stephanie). Carson then got me a small piece of cheesecake with a candle for my birthday 🥰 I had a really good time and I would definitely come again.
