• Fusion / Eclectic • Downtown

Booked 65 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*

This was a nice “gem” of a find and the food was excellent! The first course of the bacon, chocolate and sea salt with brochette was delicious. The salmon and the farmers dish were both seasoned perfectly and very tasty. Hats off to the chef - we’ll be back.

What’s great night out in downtown Acworth. Love the vibe of Henris. Must have the hush puppies as an appetizer. I had the shrimp and grits while my husband had Louisiana oh la la. Finished the night with bread pudding. Yum
