   Pro Dumplings are outstanding Ashley — top notch server Con Lobster fried rice - $46 - way overpriced the only visible lobster was a small tail placed on top of dry overly seasoned rice Bok choy side - 4 stalks ? Bubbly $14 (bottle wholesale $18 ) nb for a quieter table — dine away from the bar

   Poor Calvin’s is my favorite restaurant in Atlanta. I’ve been traveling out of state for many years just to visit this restaurant and it’s always perfect - it’s definitely worth the 2 hour drive! The staff is so welcoming and friendly - and the food is always so good. I’ve celebrated my birthday here and brought my family along - it was great! I also enjoy their brunch menu (they now have a brunch happy hour from 3-4 and it’s amazing!!! - I hope this sticks around) The crab meat grilled cheese and rum punch is top tier! Today, I had my usual crabmeat grilled cheese and lobster wontons (as an appetizer) - and to my surprise, they swapped out the fries for asparagus on the crabmeat dish. This was not a good surprise, unfortunately. I definitely miss the fries and aioli drizzled over them and the sandwich. Today, it was like opening a box of donuts and seeing it filled with broccoli instead of the donuts you wanted :( I sure hope they consider bringing back the fries and aioli - those two items transform the sandwich and experience :) But like I said, this is an amazing restaurant with great staff and I don’t regret my visit today! It was still well worth it.

   The food & cocktails are always amazing & everytime hubby & I visit ATL, we make it a point to dine here. Lena, our server, was lovely as she walked us through all of the specials, customized our cocktails to our preferences & gave us amazing service throughout our entire dinner. This time around was hubby’s birthday & though we were stuffed from dinner, they surprised him with a delicious Bailey’s coconut ice cream scoop & candle.

   Joy was our server and she was top notch! Great recommendations and so fun and funny! This was our second time here and it was just as delicious as last time. I don’t think there’s one bad thing on the menu. And…the mixed drinks are amazing. Go, enjoy, it’s worth it!

    Everything was very great, food, service and venue. I am against restaurants including a mandatory gratuity, especially for a party of 4 where there is no notification on Open Table where I was booking. And I am 100% against paying tax on the gratuity. Never before have I been asked to pay tax on the tip I left to the server.
