• Steakhouse • Little Italy
Booked 102 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.

    We took our son to Starlite for his birthday, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! The friendliness of the staff was outstanding, the atmosphere was hip and trendy! The food was absolutely delicious! Our waitress, Maidy, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the menu and made sure we had everything we needed. The oyster appetizer was exceptionally fresh and delicious. I highly recommend ordering it! Thank you, Maidy, for providing such excellent service and helping make our son’s birthday celebration so special. We will definitely be back!

    Coasterra delivers an outstanding dining experience, starting with one of the best waterfront views in San Diego. The skyline backdrop really sets the tone and makes it a great spot for a special night out. The food was delicious and, surprisingly, reasonably priced given the location. Service was phenomenal throughout the evening—we ordered a bottle of wine, and the staff consistently kept both our glasses and sparkling water refilled without ever feeling intrusive. That level of attention really elevated the overall experience.
