About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Romantic
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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef Charleen Sandoval

From the OpenTable editors: The scene is just as sizzling as the steaks at this Little Italy stunner. Born & Raised turns the old-school steakhouse genre on its head, displaying photos of rap legends in the all-gold, super-glam dining room. There are steakhouse faithfuls, plus carts that prep vintage cocktails tableside. The result is an OTT steakhouse fit for the highest of high rollers.

    Best experience ever! From being welcomed, seated and drinks at the bar. Everyone was great and the food was amazing. What made the evening memorable and special was Mark, who personalized every drink he made & was an amazing bartender. 100/10 would recommend Born & Raised !!!

    The service was excellent, 3/4 of the dishes were outstanding! I mentioned that they should give a better explanation of the Steak Diane on the menu. I thought it was going to be a Steak Salad since it was listed right beneath the Caesar Salad. I think I missed the boat on this one. It looked Amazing from afar.

    Outstanding service, had table side Caesar, Porterhouse cooked to perfection (M/R), sides of balsamic onion, roasted mushrooms (divine), and potato puree. Sweet potato cheesecake and carrot cake to finish. Cheesecake was worth the return alone. Excellent suggestion by Sommelier, Giuseppe - top 3 favorite wine in the last few years.

    Born & Raised was a 10 out of 10! From the delicious food, the gorgeous views, the unique decor, and especially the exceptional service, we will dine here every time we're in the area. Everything we ate was outstanding. We had the tableside Caesar, the warm bread with herb butter, the tender ribeye with a flavorful crust, the lamb, the dirty hashbrowns, and burgundy snails with bone marrow (a must try). All this food for the two of us along with cocktails & wine, we did not leave room for dessert. The entire staff was so attentive, friendly, and wonderful. One of the best service-oriented restaurants we've been to in a while.
