Reviews for Poor Calvin's in Atlanta, GA
Wow! You have to get the cocktail here! I found this place close to where I was staying. Seated by the bar for dinner and was... immediately blown away by the attentive bar service and he knew the menu at the top of his head, amazing cocktail options I wasrecommended their house gin & tonic and it was just WOW. Ordered Thai seafood curry and their portion was generous, those smokeygrilled seafood paired really well with their mildly spicy curry…yum! It was packed on a Sunday night! Highly recommended! Beready to pay +19% gratuity fee but it’s all worth the experience and justified by their service level. Read more
Never knew of this place prior. Went there to meet some friends from out of town who saw it had great ratings online. The place... was hopping on an early Saturday evening. Food is an excellent Mashup of Asian and Southern cuisine. Kudos to thechef! Service was excellent with very personable wait staff who knew the menu inside out. It is a lively spot, so if you'relooking for a quiet, intimate spot, this is probably not it! Only negative is the parking, which is very limited, so giveyourself some extra time to find a spot.

Poor Calvin’s certainly lived up to their reputation. Fine dining in a modern yet quaint little spot that is still spacious... enough that you don’t feel enclosed. Customer service was exceptional with very good details on selections of all itemsincluding desserts. The food was excellent, especially the lobster mac and cheese. It should be noted that the food portionswere very generous. I highly recommend making a reservation and there is a automatic 19% gratuity added to all bills. Read more
Calvin's was great. I was especially grateful that my allergy was accommodated as this goes a long way for those of us with... allergies who aren't able to eat just any and everything. It's the little things that make up the big things. Our waiter wasgreat on explaining the dishes and guided us pretty well. Our food was flavorful and lacked nothing-- not even salt. Great wayto end my birthday weekend all planned out by my bf. Happy birthday to me. ? ???? ???? Read more
Divine! Met some colleagues here while in town for a trade show and was blown away by both the food and the service. Truly one... of the best meals of my life. I can personally vouch for the Manhattan (best I’ve ever tasted), the Thai-inspired cocktail,the vegan fresh rolls, and the vegan curry. The chunks of vegan meat were expertly cooked. Wish this place was closer to homebecause I’d be a regular for sure. Read more
Delicious drinks and excellent service. Our waiter Enoch made wonderful recommendations that left our entire table happy and... satisfied! The fried chicken and lobster wonton were my favorite dishes. I would skip the deviled eggs if I went back again. Read more
Absolutely amazing experience. Food was delicious and beautifully plated. Drinks were potent and yummy. I could go on and on... about the wonderful staff. We were seated immediately and courteously. Every meal was described in intricate detail, by a superfriendly wait staff. Even the greeter made us feel welcome! We can’t wait to come back! Read more
Someway somehow this place has absolutely won my heart. I brought my husband here for his birthday the other night and they made... him feel so so special. From the moment we walked in the door, the host and the bartenders went above and beyond to make sure wewere taken care of. I had set a reservation for 9pm but I also saw it was there closing time so I came in an hour early to avoidany inconveniences with the kitchen and they found us a place at the bar immediately. The atmosphere is so relaxing and it isjust beautiful inside and out. The drinks were amazing and I promise you every single one was made with precision and skill. Weordered deviled eggs as our appetizer which were phenomenal. For our two entrees we decided on the Sea bass and the Lamb chops.The sea bass was so juicy, packed with flavor, and so fresh I can say it was one of the best pieces of fish I’ve ever had andit was not even my plate! The lamb chops were cooked to perfection as well and remember the dishes can not be altered, the chefsworked hard to develop these specific pairings and it works well. Now the dessert tasted as if it were prepped in Heaven andthis is coming from someone who does not care for sweets. We ordered a sort of sweet pound cake that was topped with caramelizedbananas, ice cream, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. Besides the pure talent of the staff I believe everything is so closeto perfect because of the chemistry they all share. They motivate each other, keep each other laughing, and they move in sync.Gratuity is included in the bill which is excellent in my opinion but the service is so wonderful you can not help but to tip ontop. I would absolutely love to visit again. Thank you for a beautiful experience. Read more
