• Steakhouse • Little Italy

Booked 123 times today

The American steakhouse is an iconic restaurant institution. We’d wanted to tell that story for years, but waited until we had the skill, talent and ability to execute it properly, and the right space to be our canvas, an important corner in Little Italy, a neighborhood where we have deep roots. We brought an almost academic appreciation for steakhouse history and tradition to Born & Raised, while trying to stay relevant and authentic to ourselves and our city. Our dry-aged beef pays tribute to earlier, earthier, pre-government grading practices and is the centerpiece of a meal best savored at a slow pace. A timeless celebration of everything that makes restaurants so special. - Consortium Holdings. A 4% surcharge is added to all guest checks.

We were already fans of Deckman’s from our years of exploring the Valle. This was our first experience at 31ThirtyOne, and it was exceptional. Every dish was unbelievably fresh (when was the last time you marveled at peas?), perfectly executed, and so fun to eat. Lovely service. Truly an outstanding and memorable experience. Bring good friends and share everything.

it was great! I would love it if the happy hour could go a little later than five. It’s hard to get there on a workday.
