• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown
Booked 54 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*

    It is a great neighborhood location that has just the right balance of comfort food (meatloaf, pork chops, seafood, and pasta) with a step of higher class. Priced within means to enjoy a nice meal and glass of wine (or cocktail). A favorite

    9 Mile Restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The menu is a delightful blend of creative dishes, each bursting with fresh flavors and beautifully presented. I particularly loved the charred chicken leg which was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Every bite felt like a symphony of taste! The service was equally outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring every guest has a great experience. Whether you’re looking for a cozy dinner spot, a place to celebrate a special occasion, or just incredible food, 9 Mile Restaurant is a must-visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their amazing menu! 5/5 stars!

    I sat at the bar. There was a musician playing in the background. He seemed talented. However, it wasn’t for me. The food was good. I enjoyed the braised wagyu beef cheeks, it was very tender and quite tasty. All in all the experience was pleasant. It would be a perfect place for a date or for a night out with friends. It’s intimate enough to romance, but not too intimate that it would make a friend outing awkward.
