About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Fancy
Great for creative cocktails

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

MICHELIN Plate2022

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.

Fun design and really solid collection of thought out dishes on a tight small menu. Great wine list and good sommelier. I love hitting this plkace when in San Diego and Denisse was such a stellar server whom was personable and knowledgable in her ability to guide us through a wonderful experience.

It was just ok for how expensive it was. I didn't like the dry aged steak, but the Caesar salad they made at our table was cool.
