I hadn't been to Poor Calvin's in years and this experience was so refreshing. The food is so so well done and the service is impeccable. Our waitress, Louise, knew the menu so thoroughly and was kind and patient with us. I highly recommend visiting this ATL staple!

Very enjoyable experience. We appreciated the interesting takes on some classics like fried calamari and wish we could have tried more options, many sounded good. It was a bit noisy but it was Saturday night, so no surprise there. Convenient valet and excellent and attentive service.
