Poor Calvin's provided excellent service, a cool, quirky vibe, and fantastic food. Although the place is popular and busy, the staff took their time to explain the various dishes and make great recommendations. It was a short walk from the Crowne Plaza Midtown. Poor Calvin's was so good, we ate their twice. I loved the Drunken Noodles with Lobster Tails and Scallops. Too delicious! Servings were very generous. Calamari is inventive and superb. Many gluten free and vegetarian...

What a treat!!!! We were in Atlanta just for the night and found this place after going to mass just down the road. My teenager said the lobster fried rice was the best hes ever tasted. The crispy beef and seafood spring rolls were magnificent as well. My daughter and I really enjoyed the cocktails, excellent and unique. The only problem we had was not having enough room in our stomachs to eat more. If we're ever in Atlanta again, this will be the first place I go!

Poor Calvin never misses! Last night was absolutely awesome. We were able to eat outside in front. The weather was awesome. My food was divine. The cocktail were perfect. I'd say my experience was a 10 out of 10.
