About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Hot spot
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.

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.

    First off, we started with the bread and damn!!! It was phenomenal. Fantastically amazing! Then it was nothing but downhill after that. They drinks were substandard! I had a ping island. The Caesar salad was just lettuce and fresh cheese. It was ok. My wife loved the French onion soup. But the entrees not so much. An overpriced for the quality of what we had. With that being said, the place is really nice and had a nice ambiance. Nice location. The staff was friendly but slow. Disappointed!! We would go back solely for the bread!! And the wine bar across the street.

    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.
