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.

    Booked way ahead of time and was told that there is no rooftop availability 3 days prior. Staff was five stars. I love their presentation of the food. That was great. Server was excellent and accommodating. The bread and butter was great. Caesar Salad was extremely salty. The Steak in the Steak Diane was good but the red sauce was unbearable I had to wipe the sauce off the steak with a paper napkin so I don’t taste it which is primarily why I rated this experience so low. Chocolate cake was amazing. Couldn’t forget how bad the sauce was on Steak Diane.

    Husbands steak was supposed to be medium rare, but was almost blue I ordered my steak blue cheese crusted, but it was more like a thick glob than a crust - it greatly overpowered the flavor of the steak Sides and bread were delicious

    The steak tasted like cow, didn’t have salt or seasoning. The Mac and cheese was salty and the service could have been better. Too pricey for what it’s worth.

    The wait staff was a bit off this time. Slow, ask questions that didn’t apply, Table side bar service wasn’t fully prepared.

    We have been here many times and took friends for their first time. We are all business professionals and decided on a nice night out. My rating is solely based on service with our server Matt. It took 10-15 minutes for our server to even acknowledge us when he was very prompt with the table next to us. It took 30 minutes from being seated to have him come over and then get us drinks. He barely came back to our table to check on us or allow us to order more. We had to flag him down. Again, we watched him overly cater to the table next to us of younger individuals. It will be while if we do come back. It wasn’t a great experience by any means. Thankfully the decor and view were pretty since service was poor!!!
