• Steakhouse • Little Italy
Booked 98 times today
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.

    Our server was absolutely amazing. Checked in on us enough to feel taken care of but not so much that it was interfering with our date. The food was absolutely phenomenal. If you have to order one thing, order the chicken shawarma hummus. Absolutely a game changer. All the food was amazing, the drinks were great, and of course the ambiance is unlike any other place. I also asked for a special request to show appreciation for my partner, and they gave us a free dessert with a customized macaron that had our names. 10/10 night.
