Steakhouse

Top Tags:

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.

We came here for a date night and the experience was pretty good. Over entries weren’t that great. We ordered the chicken and pork chop. Maybe we should’ve gone with the steak. Drinks were good and the service was great

Beautiful vibe. Request upstairs seating, but if you don’t get it, it’s got a great ambiance downstairs. Good was awesome, I’m not a bread eater, but get the bread. Steak tartare was awesome with a little added horseradish. Steak was cooked perfectly. Caesar was average. Cocktails were 100. The blue cheese stuffed olives in my martini were crave-able. I think this is a must when visiting SD.

Brought my best friend here for her birthday and WOW! Neither of us had been before so we had no idea what to expect. Absolutely fantastic. The vibe is great, the drinks were awesome, the staff was friendly, and the food was phenomenal. Must order: the snail appetizer (trust me I promise), the steak sampler, and the espresso martini. If you are looking for the best steak of your life and a nice night out in Little Italy - go here!

Arrived early for 5pm reservation and was seated in the worst seat in the house for party of 2. Over priced and small portions. Bone in New York was over done and full of fat. There are many better steakhouses in SD.

Would very highly recommend born and raised. The food was delicious and the staff was very kind and accommodating. My group came as a part of a business dinner and had a wonderful time. I really appreciated the help of the staff, especially Carla, who was extremely responsive and helpful during the reservation process.

Great steaks and cocktails, very attentive service, relaxed, old school atmosphere with leather booths, low lighting, jazz music. It's not cheap but highly recommend if you want to splurge and get a great steak.

Disappointing experience. We love BAR so we picked it for my Bday dinner. We weren’t seated until 20mins after our reservation time (30mins after arrival) which wasn’t a huge deal, but then our server want great either. We’ve always had the best severs which is part of the experience. The food was amazing, as usual! Loved the steak sampler and the ambiance is always on point, but we left disappointed and wishing we had gone somewhere else to celebrate.

Hostess and help staff were very attentive but server was not. Saw her only when ordering and she never came back to check on us at all for rest of night. Bread w butter - 4/5 Snail bone marrow - 6/5 excellent Ribeye - 2/5 very dry Steak sauces 3/5 Brocollini - 3/5 Apple crumble cheesecake - 5/5 Start of meal and end of meal were great but main dish was not. Steak was not high end. Service in beginning was good but midway it was very slow.

My husband and I brought our daughter her to celebrate her birthday. We started with the oysters, snails and Cesear salad; all were delicious. We shared the rib eye and porterhouse paired with the dirty hash browns and brocolini. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The service from the hostess, to our server, to the staff that cleaned our table after each portion of the meal was wonderful. This was our first time at this establishment and will definitely return. Thank you, Born & Raised, for a memorable time for our daughter's birthday.

I wish we could refund and go somewhere else. It was really that bad. $800 party of 6. Two people felt ill. Steaks are subpar really. Service mediocre at best- kind of snotty. I believe Cheesecake Factory to tast better so we were really sad.
