The Service was impeccable from start to finish. They made us feel like we were a valued customer. It was our anniversary dinner and they gave us a special anniversary menu as a keepsake. They took a picture of us and put it in a frame as a keepsake and also gave us a complimentary dessert after dinner. Our steaks were perfect and the side dishes were very generous portions. we definitely recommend this restaurant and would come back next time we are in San Diego.

This is really the best place to have a filet mignon with lobster. You can't beat the value and it comes with 1 side dish and dessert for a reasonable price. Quality and service is always on point.

I grew up going to Saska's and loving every visit. Moe's, not only matches what Saska's was, but exceeds it by a mile. This relaxed, beach-town locals-haunt is worth every penny! Matt, our Bartender and Server, was a fantastic steward! He made the evening perfect. We have eaten at many of the higher-profile Steakhouses around the country and Moe's matches them all.

Little Italy

About the restaurant

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.
