Exceptional(6872)
Price: Very Expensive
• Steakhouse • Little Italy
Booked 99 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.

• Sushi • Little Italy

WELCOME TO CLOAK & PETAL!Where we invite you to journey into a place of both intimacy and companionshipOur concept is drawn from our name. The word “cloak” implies secrecy, inspiring our concept of a social sphere humming beneath the levels of ordinary life. “Petal” alludes to the Japanese tradition of “hanami,” when family and friends gather under blooming cherry blossoms to savor food, drinks and fellowship.Enter our space and travel underground to décor reminiscent of an abandoned Tokyo subway, a stratum of society all its own, an artist’s dream. Cross the threshold into a mystically transformed Japanese social dining lounge which appears to be an outdoor seating area, similar to a waiting platform. Sit beneath a trellis of draping vines and teardrop lights in the intimate space we’ve thoughtfully created, and feast on authentic Japanese sushi, appetizers, small plates and drinks with family and friends.Journey down to Cloak + Petal… and come unwind your soul.

    Service was great. Nice clean vibes. No wait times. The bathroom sinks were a pain. Having to stick your hands in this little window.. just odd, but they were clean. We had the Biggie plate, but only the sweet potatoes and jalapeno granita stood out! The oysters were fresh, but the shucker needs some help. Most of the bellies were popped open from the knife. Share ceviches were small, and bagged tostadas. Meh. A phenomenal birthday dessert, and the hospitality delivered for a celebration is worth of a mention. Even the transition between servers during transition was smooth. Will recommend, but probably won’t return. Although maybe just for the fish and chips. The table next to us ordered that, and it looked delicious. Idk though!

    This was a nice surprise in San Diego when we were looking for a restaurant close to the airport. Located in Little Italy, this place is quirky and eclectic with excellent cocktails and small plates. We had a very enjoyable time and certainly will be back if ever in the area again.
