Great food, great service, great ambience. First time here and had an amazing experience. Visited with my friend visiting from NYC. I ordered the rum punch, what a kicker, refreshing, delicious and tasty. I had the ribs with lobster Mac and cheese, lobster mashed potatoes.. one word...Divine. The owner himself Calvin, served us. Very humble and kind man. Definitely worth trying again.

My experience at Port Calvin's was fantastic. The ambience was beautiful and cozy when I first arrived, although they were quite busy. Despite having a reservation, I had to wait an additional 25 minutes. However, the bartender was very friendly and I enjoyed a drink while waiting. When we were finally seated, we had plenty of room to ourselves, which I appreciated. The staff was very helpful in explaining the cuisine and the food was delicious. I tried caviar and grape jelly on my deviled eggs, which was a unique combination that I enjoyed, despite not being very familiar with different types of food. I ordered the lobster fried rice for dinner, but I was already pretty full from my earlier meal. Despite this, the few bites I managed to take were packed with flavor. The batter and seasoning were delicious, although I wasn't a fan of the lobster itself. However, I still enjoyed the dish overall and would be willing to return to try other items on the menu. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant also added to the dining experience, making it a great choice for a casual meal with friends or a date night. I look forward to exploring more of their offerings in the future.

The staff, the food, the ambiance are all chef's kiss! Make reservations because it can get really busy!

I'm mad I haven't been here sooner. I had the Lobster Fried Rice and the Lobster mac and cheese and both were so delicious and full of flavor. I'm addicted, the service was TOP NOTCH I couldn't have asked for better service I truly felt like everyone cared about us having a wonderful experience which is sadly rare to find in the city these days. They have a customer for life.

This was the first celebration for my birthday month and my first visit to Poor Calvin's! My Neice treated me for this outing. The service and ambience was great! The food awesome! After a great dinner I was in shock to encounter the bad, bad, bad (yes, I meant to type "bad" three times) attitude of the security guard when we were leaving. He was rushing us off parking lot, stomping his feet and mouthing insults because we did not move fast enough for him... almost ruined a perfect start to a great month of celebrations. I don't think he would have done that if my man was with us...

Love! Love! Love! What an explosion of flavors! The fusion between Asian and Southern flavors is very creative! Kudos to Chef Calvin Pham for his unique tastes. I simply enjoyed the twists on classics in the same way that I enjoy thriller-style movies with unpredictable twists in the plot. The server explained kindly, after asking about food allergies, that this really isn't the place to ask for all types of deletions, edits, and substitutions on the dishes. I could appreciate that. Personally, I'm not that type of customer, but he explained that he shares that with all customers because the dishes are the creative visions of the chef. I get it. Everything was prepared to perfection. The hubs, a true southerner, especially enjoyed his Country Fried Chicken Entree - Free range airline chicken breast, mashed potato, broccolini, & chicken andouille peppercorn cream sauce. I ordered a delicious special of the evening. Guests are asked to be respectable in their attire. Check the website for the dress-code before you go. Our experience was unforgettable! Customer service was extraordinary! The server paid attention to detail and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Food and specialty mocktails were fantastic. Portion sizes are spot on. The place was quite busy as it is a very popular spot. I'd like to visit again when I'm in town. Reservations are definitely recommended. The restaurant is cozy/intimate and some consider it very pricy. And it's true, there's a lack of parking.

The headquarters for my job are located in Atlanta, and one of my best friends from college lives in the metro area. So, we link up whenever I'm in town. On this particular trip, I joined him and his wife for a hike in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, followed by dinner at Poor Calvin's. This was my second time visiting the restaurant, and it has quickly become a favorite of mine. The owner and chef of Poor Calvin's is originally from Vietnam but raised and classically trained in Germany, and the restaurant concept is a fusion of Eastern flavors and Western techniques and presentations. On this particular visit, I ordered the lobster fried rice, mango spice cocktail, and we all shared two desserts family style: toasted pound cake & peach cobbler empanadas. The food was absolutely phenomenal, but the service on this particular visit was overly rigid and a bit inhospitable to the point of feeling like a microaggression. The server made little effort to accommodate dietary restrictions and his overall demeanor was stern, slightly combative, and presumptuous when asked about menu modifications: "I do not recommend doing that! You will still pay the full price of $$ if you order the dish without lobster. The best option is to order menu item X." That style of communication was quite off putting and turned the entire ordering process into a negotiation when the exact same message could have been communicated in a more positive and less defensive manner. As such, I am adjusting my final rating to reflect my disappointment with the service on this particular visit. Final Rating: 3.8 Food - 5 stars Service - 2 stars Ambience - 4.5 stars

So far my favorite foodie experience in ATL! For starters, the crab wontons are unforgettable. So yummy, probably the best wonton I've ever had. We really enjoyed the mussels as well. The sauce was everything! For entrees we ordered the lamb shanks and baby back ribs with lobster mac n cheese. Both were fire!!! Drinks were delicious as well. Highly recommend the Long Island! Our server Ashley was the best! Couldn't have asked for better service. She was very friendly and attentive to our table from beginning to end. Overall, this place gets 5/5. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again one day!

Came in for Easter brunch and things started off a bit rocky: first, we ordered beignets and our waiter told us we would not be able to have them with maple syrup, because they were all out. My husband asked about the chicken and waffle and our waiter again confirmed there was no maple syrup to serve with this dish either. Next, my husband ordered a Hennessy margarita. The waiter said the restaurant no longer serves Hennessy. So, he ordered a dirty martini with stuffed olives and the waiter offered pimento-stuffed olives, only to return moments later saying they didn't have anymore. Luckily, the items that they did have available, were absolutely delicious! Also, their ability to keep a crispy outside (fries and waffle) yet soft inside, underneath toppings was truly remarkable.
