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

2022

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.

Food and drinks were amazing. The service and timing of the food was great. We ordered the table side salad and Steak Diana, which was super fun. The bread and Potato Purée was delicious and my NY was cooked perfectly. I suggest getting reservations early and try to get a table upstairs, great views!

We had an early Christmas dinner Sunday night and if you are looking for a good steak in SD Born and Raised is the place to go. The food is always delicious and the service is fantastic. Reid was very attentive, kind and informative, and the rest of the staff as well always made sure water glasses were full and the table was ready for the next corse. 10 out of 10.

I ordered the bone-in ribeye cooked medium rare, but unfortunately, it was very tough with a lot of muscle. In contrast, my wife and both of our friends had the filet, which they all said was extremely tender. I even had my wife and friend taste my ribeye, and they agreed it was not up to par. I’m not sure if this was just an off night, but based on this experience, I’d recommend the filet moving forward. Wife's birthday and she had a wonderful time. That is the most important part of the night.

Great for date night! We started with the bluefin crudo, main course was the meat sampler, bread, mushrooms and potato puree. All seasoned very well providing explosions of flavor in each bite. Washed it down with the BAR old fashioned.
