Best Restaurants for Groups in East Atlanta

We had a good evening at Saints & Council. This was our first time at the establishment as we celebrated our sis birthday! Making reservations and changes we're impeccable with response time and following up via phone call. Ambiance was out of a magazine / photo shoot. We we're seated in a nice private area with beautiful art work to view. Our server was Ricardo, very pleasant and attention to detail. Ricardo went over the menu options. He also had the opportunity to chose my husbands entree for the evening, as there were so many delicious options to choose from. Ricardo didn't disappoint with the braised short rib! The portion sizes were awesome, even down to the shareable plates. Our entrees were delicious the pasta and steak with Yuka potatoes and Brussels sprouts...good, however on the salty side. Dessert and the dessert coffees were a 10. Definitely will come back and try brunch. I enjoy the fact that the was a discounted validation for parking provided. We all enjoyed learning about the postcards options of King David, Dr. Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa, to be mailed out. Nice touch on a evening to celebrate another year of life of our sis.

We enjoyed our dinner and drinks. Everything was great! I definitely would recommend this place. We will be back!

We had a fantastic waiter, Noah. Everyone commented how attentive, personable and downright funny he was. Noah made our night out with friends fantastic! As always the food was excellent too!

Poor Calvin's NEVER disappoints! Took someone who had never been tonight and they were very impressed. My hack for Poor Calvin's is to just order the specials. Whatever special entree or appetizer is available, GET IT! Last night was a surf and turf with a filet mignon and lobster. OMG! It was served over this large basil leaf. So every time you cut into the filet you got a fresh subtle basil essence amongst all the other delicious flavors that were in play. Absolutely genius. The special appetizer were shrimp wontons that were packed with several pieces of whole shrimp. They did not skimp or cut corners. On the side was this delicious and refreshing cucumber kimchi. WHAT!?! My date ordered the fall off the bones ribs. So tender and so flavorful. They also enjoy the lavender lemonade. Let's talk about this strawberry cake. 100 layers with fresh strawberries in the filling and on the side. I had to bring half of it home. Also our server was an absolute pleasure. She was funny, answered all our questions. She was laid back and just genuinely wanted us to love everything we ordered. Oh yes... I almost forgot! If they offer you the special candied bacon strips, do not hesitate. GET THEM!
