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.

    This restaurant has incredible food, wonderful service and is our favorite place to dine for business or with friends. The bathrooms are upstairs and gender neutral which is the only thing that doesn't fit this elegant environment.

    Didn’t find the food or cocktails to be anything special or memorable at all. (Especially for the price) The Kobe beef was nice. The Art Deco style was nice. Overall it felt like a big swing and a miss. Overhyped and overpriced. Our entire party was super letdown by the dinner. All we could do is laugh at that point.

    Great food; we enjoyed very flavorful filet and NY steaks along with roasted mushrooms and broccolini in a Calabrian pepper sauce, all excellent. Fantastic carrot cake for dessert. Good cocktails, impressive wine list but with a high mark-up. Be prepared; everything is quite expensive. It’s a beautiful room. Excellent service.
