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

Executive chef: Chef Charleen Sandoval

MICHELIN Plate
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.

Good atmosphere. Service was just ok and not what you would expect for the price. Steaks were average and not done to order.

This place was highly recommended for me to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I wish we had gone somewhere else. Seated downstairs. Very dark and very loud. If that’s your thing, you’ll love this place. Highly recommend being seated upstairs. Entirely different (and better vibe.) My wife asked for Medium + on her filet. It was medium to medium - (if there is such a thing)…..but we couldn’t tell (remember it’s dark) until she got 1/2 way through her steak. Plus the steaks were VERY chewy, and not in a good way. A filet should almost melt in your mouth at a place like this. The broccolini was actually very good. Spicy but good!! Lastly, the dessert cart looked fabulous, but the comp birthday dessert (which is nice that that do something like that) was a small macaroon cookie with a candle. Kind of odd. So bottom line: My eyes hurt….strained to read menu and bill. My ears hurt….soooo loud. My jaw hurt….chewy steak. Wallet hurt for what we ordered. We are from out of town and if we’d known…we should have walked the other direction and tried one of the many Italian restaurants in Little Italy.
