• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown

Booked 30 times today

We know the word "fusion" has been wielded about to justify everything from Hula Burgers to Mexican lasagna. But the East-meets-South brand of fusion happening at Poor Calvin's? It's creative; it's innovative; and it's probably unlike anything you've tasted in the ATL. After working in kitchens around the world, Calvin Phan wanted to shake things up a little. And so, into the mac 'n cheese, the Thai spices went. Now, Calvin's giving Southern staples, like sea bass and fried chicken, a decidedly creative Asian-inspired twist (and a nip of spice, too). He has created innovative dishes, approached in much the same way, leave the hands of Calvin Phan day in and day out. His dedication and attention to detail are evident in each dish and dessert. You won't be disappointed.*Last seating 1 hour before close*

First time and loved the experience. Fully decorated for Christmas and started our holiday off perfectly - even saw Santa and Mrs Claus. The food was delicious and so was the white sangria!

We have been to Saints + Council twice and both times were excellent. Our first visit was before going across the street to the Atlanta Symphony. The second was with our out of town guests. The ambiance was great. The food was excellent. Yousef, our waiter, did a very good job explaining the menu and making recommendations. We will go again.

This was the first time I went to this restaurant. The staff were all very pleasant and efficient. The food portions are huge and the quality and presentation weee outstanding. The server was on point; however, the kitchen crew failed to remove an item out of my dish. Because I spent some time removing the item, the waitress had the order remade and even bagged it to go home. All in all, I would definitely go back.
