Calavino's Soul Kitchen

Had dinner last night at a relatively new East Atlanta eatery, although the chef is not new to Atlanta by any means.

Short version:
All of the food had good flavor and you can’t deny the good flavors of real food. Our waitress Erin was friendly, knowledgeable and patient – not only were we newbies (who always take a long time to order) but we were also Those People with The Kid in the restaurant on this particular evening. If you’re rolling with your mini-me entourage, eating at Calavino’s on a weekday at 6-ish is good timing. We were one of only three tables and the night-life set of East Atlanta Village hadn’t kicked into gear yet.
