Great food. Bacon wrapped scallops were succulent. Love the brussels sprouts. And don't miss the wedge salad with chunks of real Roquefort.

This was an extravagant birthday celebration that was worth every penny (and a night of impacted sleep for unusually rich food for me). Stake Chophouse has an impressive attention to detail!

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.
