   My first time going to Poor Calvin's. Food was ON POINT! Service was outstanding!!! Our server Anthony was very knowledgeable about the food and he even asked if we had any allergies. I'm a chef as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!

   We've been several times, food seemed a little off this visit. Portion sizes were smaller, barely any lobster in the lobster mac and cheese. Service was still exceptional and the drinks were pretty good. Hope our next visit won't be our last due to the inconsistentcy because this is 1 of our favorite dining spots.

   Phenomenal. This was truly a dining experience. Not only were the food and cocktails some of the best I’ve ever had, the service was impeccable. Our waiter, Zubear, took incredible care of us with cocktail recommendations and thorough descriptions of all of dishes we wanted to order.

   Perfect spot for date night! Ambiance was great, service was excellent, free parking in rear lot. Portions were great - you won't leave hungry. My only complaint was that the Crispy Beef was chewy. Good flavor, but I doubt I'd order it again..

    As always, loved the service and food at Poor Calvin’s. I forget our servers name, but he had a great personality and a speaking voice worthy of film voiceovers!! We had beignets, wontons, deviled eggs, chicken and waffle, and shrimp and grits. Everything was delicious as expected. This is just a few reasons why I LOVE this place! Def one of the best in ATL

    I took my boyfriend here on at Saturday at 930 for his birthday because we both really love Asian infused food. We sat in the dining area by the Buddha statute. Our waiter Zubarah was great! He suggested two cocktails that packed a punch. We ordered the lobster crawfish wontons for our small bites and I ordered the lamp chops with goat cheese, while my boyfriend got the seafood curry. The food and service was amazing but there wasn't much of a vibe for a Saturday night. I didn't hear any music playing unless I walked to the bathroom, which was disappointing, since it was a weekend. Overall, PC is really nice, especially the service. My only suggestions would be to have bigger portion sizes (considering the price point) and to have music playing in the dining area.

    The food and drinks were absolutely amazing!! I will absolutely be back. A bit pricey but well worth it non the less. I don’t remember our server’s name but she was a beautiful young lady with a sleeve tattoo and black hair with a bang. She’s very well versed of the menu and the service was awesome. 5 out of 5 stars!!

    From the 1st time I dined there in 2018, I have returned and promoted it to all of my friends. The food and drinks are exceptionally good, presentation appealing, and the staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. The Chilean seabass and lamb chops were mouthwatering, delicious!!

    Fantastic Food & Service‼️👍🏽 While I have eaten here several times the service just keeps getting better. The wait staff is ALWAYS friendly and on point. This recent visit we had the dinner special which was phenomenal-serving size and taste. Kudos to the entire staff and to James, the Manager who keeps it all in order. If you haven’t been to Poor Calvin’s you must put on your bucket list for an Atlanta restaurant dining experience🍽

    Rodney was the BEST! He did a very good job at explaining the menus and specials for the day, to include drinks. He was very pleasant and attentive during our whole meal. I have been wanting to try Poor Calvin’s for a while now, and I’m so glad we did. I had chicken and waffle and ate it all. My daughter had lobster fried rice and it was pretty tasty too, but too big of a serving to eat at one sitting. I definitely recommend Poor Calvin’s!

    I have been waiting to go here since we had to cancel due to the pandemic. Everything was wonderful except for the noise level. Where we were seated caught noise from diners entering and from where the servers and hosts gathered as well as from the bar area. I ordered the lobster fried rice and it was delicious. My daughter ordered the fried chicken and my husband ordered the chef’s special. The service was spectacular. We did not order cocktails. It’s a definite do-over.

    This is our second time dining here. The quality of the food is excellent. Except this time our steamed dumplings appetizer was good if one came frozen and inedible. They brought us a replacement. Service was so-so especially with drinks. Ordered second round but came out so late. Should have cancelled. Overall I would recommend as the lobster fried rice is divine as is the crispy beef with shrimp. Second time I went with seafood curry (very good). My son had the lobster pad Thai (excellent). Dumplings were good if one didn’t come out still frozen. I’m sure it was made fresh then frozen. Should have been fully cooked if steamed. The sauce was very good though.

    Overall Experience was Good. Service was on point. Appetizers were Excellent. We had Crispy beef and Lobster Fried rice. Crispy beef tasted of dirty unfiltered grease(fried in bad grease). The Lobster fried rice had two pieces of chopped lobster and an over fried lobster tail with no seasoning on top of really good fried rice. The ambience was Amazing. Great Place to celebrate. We will be back. Only tonight the entrees were off.
