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

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.

    I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time so happy to have been able to get a reservation. The food was delicious! Loved the table side martini cocktail prep and the table side Cesar salad prep.

    our server was Denisse and she was absolutely amazing! shes so sweet, lovely, helpful, always there for us, really made our entire experience the restaurant was just stunning, the upstairs, downstairs, all of it was beautiful and had the most absolute detailed touches. the FOOD was just unbelievable. definitely the tastiest i've ever had. as simple as a ceasar salad is - this was the best one we've ever had. we also had the steak sampler which was just amazing - along with the snow aged wagyu - the most delicious steak we've ever had. and everyone there just made us feel at home and so welcomed. we also had the carrot cake at the end which was also the most delicious carrot cake we've ever had. when denisse walked away from us, my husband and i turned to each other automatically and said at the same time "shes so cute" we absolutely adored her!
