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.

The food was phenomenal, service was perfect (tableside Manhattan was a show and delicious!!!). Definitely wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

Everything tasted amazing, my wife isn’t much of a steak eater and got the table side caesar salad and we shared the mac n cheese and potato puree sides, and I enjoyed a ribeye. We ended up with lots of leftovers, and decided to get a desert here despite being full because hey why not. Everything was amazing including the bread and butter as an appetizer and my two drinks with dinner and the total was just over 200 bucks. Can’t speak for downstairs seating but sitting on the rooftop as the sun is going down while enjoying amazing food was a highlight of our stay in San Diego. Highly recommend this place
