Food 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Service 10/10 One of the best dinner we had in San Diego! Everything from the food to ambiance was impeccable. Food recommendation: - caesar salad (this is table side) - uni pasta (omg that sauce) - love the bread - steak sampler (MUST GET) - mac n cheese was bomb Cocktails were so good as wel
Be the first to ReplyJared our waiter was excellent - warn, informative, funny.
Kitchen and bar were slow. Caesar salad was disappointing. Shrimp cocktail was one shrimp cut in pieces with some avocado. Artistic but very light on actual food. The hostesses were sullen and dismissive. At one point there were more of them than us and none of them faced us to welcome us and get us seated. It was really off-putting and not a great way to start the evening. We ordered a second bottle of wine and it came so late despite our regular reminders that we were waiting for it that we had basically finished our meal when it came. We sent it back. Jared comped us desserts and after dinner drinks which was not necessary but we appreciated it very much. So, great waiter, OK food -nothing special.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Born and Raised in Little Italy, San Diego, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, the hostess greeted us with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for the evening. While waiting for our table, we decided to grab a drink at the bar, where the bartender impressed us with their knowledge and friendly demeanor. Once seated, our server Nick took exceptional care of us. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality truly stood out. He guided us through the wine and dinner menus with expertise, even catering to my dietary preferences as a pescatarian by pointing out suitable options and providing a vegan menu upon request. I opted for the local catch, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. Kudos to the chef for crafting such a delicious dish. Throughout the meal, the server assistants also ensured that everything ran smoothly, showcasing their dedication to impeccable service. What truly impressed me was the seamless teamwork evident throughout the restaurant. It was clear that every staff member was committed to providing an exceptional dining experience. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Born and Raised to anyone seeking outstanding service, a phenomenal ambiance, and delectable cuisine. I can't wait to return and indulge in another memorable meal. A special thank you to Nick for his exceptional service--it truly made our evening unforgettable.

I've never had a dry aged steak before and this was an incredible introduction. My husband and I both the dry aged ribeye and it was like nothing we have ever tasted before. Well worth the price! The mushrooms were a bigger portion than we expected for an "extra" and they were also delicious. Table-side Caesar salad was quite the experience. The apple pie cheesecake was to die for! Our server took great care of us, as well as the rest of the staff. The restaurant definitely looks as incredible in person as it does in the photos. I would highly recommend coming here not just for the experience but the incredible food!
Be the first to ReplyWe finally made it for dinner here.
It was on my list to go. I guess we saved the best for last. We made reservations for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We were seated right away at a booth. The ambiance and decor reminds me of NYC. Our waiter was so kind and attentive. After introducing himself and giving us time to look over menu, he came back with a card he wrote to us in celebration !! In addition to the superb service, the best part was the adaptation they went thru to give me both a GF & DF culinary experience without losing taste nor presentation. For that, I wish I could give extra stars . I had their carrot soup as started and sea bass as main. So good. So yummy. Oh the crispy fish skin, the best. My husband had the meatball as started which he loved and he also had the sea bass. We need to go back, hopefully to sit upstairs for the next time.

The food is amazing and their service is outstanding! Thank you Matt for making our anniversary dinner spectacular! The restaurant is beautiful inside, the decor is stylish and old school vibe. The drinks were very tasty and they definitely use fresh squeezed juices. Their steak was cooked to perfection. I think the macaroni and cheese is homemade pasta. Definitely a go to steakhouse. Don't miss your opportunity.

Excellent food and service! The ambience is amazing and the cocktails by Travis are a hit for the whole crowd! Chef Charleen is on a level of no comparison! The service was spectacular and the food is indescribable. Try the table side Cesar salad and the wagu you will not be disappointed the expresso martini is delicious! Best place to dine in SD Little Italy!
Be the first to ReplyGreat dining experience.
The food, drinks, service were amazing. The streak sampler is a must. We had a great dinner. Thank you.
Be the first to ReplyI use to love this place but the last time I came I was
I use to love this place but the last time I came I was greatly disappointed in their caviar service!! Hash browns instead of blinis or toast points?? Hash browns have such a heavy taste that u cannot taste the caviar even the slightest bit!!! The Caesar salad was still good but the Mac and cheese was average. The filet I ordered was like any other steakhouse. Service was spotty

They are trying to evoke a high end steak house vibe and at first glance the restaurant is really nice looking but the food..... wow, not even close in quality to Eddie V's or Lou and Mickeys. The young staff try to act like experienced waiters but with their bad attitude and lack of experience they don't even compare to quality servers.The steak was so bad that the wife only ate 2 bites , fatty, definitely not prime or aged. Like others mentioned, service is horrible, these youngsters try to act like experienced servers but there attitude isn't worth ever going back. Our server was so bad, he took our order and then we never heard from him again. Good thing for a your girl who was training with him, she helped out so much that I gave the tip to her after giving him a small tip on the bill. We told her thank you and to do the opposite of what he said to do and she would be great.The manager after I spoke with him who was also very young and inexperienced didn't do much except to give me his card.

Cruised down to born and raise to make up for Seneca short coming on Valentine's Day and I cannot tell you how thrilled I was with the presentation of the amazing food that was set forth tableside Caesar salad table say something, Diane loll We had an amazing time in our waiter made the experience much better with his excellent detail of the menu, and excellent descriptions of each cocktail. He definitely deserves a raise such a colorful personality. I really appreciated having him there that night.
Be the first to ReplyMy daughter made a reservation over a month ago for this
My daughter made a reservation over a month ago for this local legend, so I anticipated an amazing experience.First off, customer service is number one when I walk into a restaurant. We were greeted by a very kind, smiling hostess, which I appreciated.We were able to sit at the bar until our table was ready, beautifully design.Once we sat down, gorgeous, heavy crystal glasses were set for water, nice touch. We started off with the bone marrow burgundy snails appetizer. Wow! Savory, salty, and just enough oil on toast. We would definitely order this again. Hubby ordered the 18 oz ribeye medium, but it was cooked very rare with more fat than beef. He's not one to complain, but at the price he paid, he should have. My daughter and I shared the 20 oz. ribeye steak topped with a melted blue cheese melted crust, perfectly cooked but definitely too much of a blue cheese crust. We would've been happier if it was a drizzle of blue cheese, it completely overpowered the flavor of our steak. The roasted mushrooms with parmesan, garlic, and thyme were fantastic. The dirty hashbrowns were a fail. The hashbrown with creme fraiche and trout roe were boring and tasteless, sorry. Ambiance is amazing, customer service is on point.Dessert came out on this old fashion pink rolling tray, wish I grabbed a photo. Huge slice of chocolate cake with a raspberry sauce and mousse. Cheesecake had an apple pie crumble on top with baked apples, very good. The birthday macaron was sweet, soft, and chewy; perfection.
Be the first to ReplyThis place is an expensive "investment" but well rounded
This place is an expensive "investment" but well rounded place full of class with table side Cesar salad creations though I wish they enforced dress codes a bit more. I had the 18 oz dry aged ribeye and sampler of wagyu. Each person to eat well here better come with $120+ I didn't see valet here but maybe that starts at dinner hour. I miss this style of service. The environment is very nice with unique pillars for architecture. They dim the lights so on the plus side if your date isn't a 10; you can at least get drink and pretend that person is ;-)
Be the first to Reply5 stars all the way! Love the ambiance and great gatsby
5 stars all the way! Love the ambiance and great gatsby decor. If you look closely there's Wu-Tang symbols all over the restaurant. I've been to Born & Raised three times now and the food and service is always consistent. Expensive prices but you get what you pay for. You have to start off with a drink upstairs at their beautifully decorated bar. It has a cool view with lovely cherry blossom trees. Definite photo op. My husband orders the house Manhattan every time. For dinner, we like their cesar salad made table side with any steak that is always cooked to perfection topped with a béarnaise sauce, yum! They used to have a delicious baked pheasant dish served with potatoes covered in glass bowl that had an amazing presentation with smoke. They have reinvented the dish and now it's just a piece of baked chicken with some kind of brown sauce. Same presentation but the dish is not as tasty or hearty. We love love love their dirty hash browns covered in a cream sauce and caviar. Omg! Lastly, you have to order their famous carrot cake. This last visit was for my husband's birthday so I let him pick the dessert. He ordered the apple crumb cheesecake. It was good but I wished he got the carrot cake. I definitely recommend Born & Raised for any occasion.
Be the first to ReplyReally fantastic food and good service.
Nice atmosphere too. We will definitely go back!
Be the first to ReplyBorn and Raised is located in the heart of Little Italy
Born and Raised is located in the heart of Little Italy downtown. Although there is valet right outside, BAR does not participate with this group, so prepare ahead/to find parking. My guests and I arrived five minutes before reservation. Even with that, we still had to wait. Electing for rooftop seating, the timing with sunset and downtown SD cityscape in the background gave way to a very sweeping and alluring experience. Our waitress was attentive and at times was flustered, but she did her best. Once drinks and appetizers came, the beverages replenished in time. For dinner, most of my guests opted for the ribeye, and sides were shared from crispy marbled potatoes, dirty hashbrowns, mac and cheese, and legumes. All were delicious, most especially the dirty hashbrowns. We did get the tableside caesar. While the service was outstanding and dressing indeed fresh, the size was on the small side. The bone in ribeye was perfect, and one 20oz can be shared. All desserts are made in-house, and they change with the rest of the menu according to season. We especially enjoyed the carrot cake. Perfect to top the palate, dessert port, and grant a wish for a very special birthday occasion. Oh, and that WuTang macaron? Deliciously fun, thank you Chef. All in all, a great dinner for my guests and I.Why one star knocked off? You get no sympathy if you're running late for your reservation, even if you call. Only 10min allowance, and you're not guaranteed your table. Save the call unless you want a headache... good riddance.

This place is amazing! Words cannot do it enough justice but the atmosphere and experience are one of a kind. The food was incredible and our server Matty couldn't have been more personable, wonderful, and attentive. We got the tuna tartare that came with caviar and was incredible! Also the seasonal soup was a carrot and ginger that was so delicious! The dirty hashbrowns are a must and we did the steak sampler for two that was a nice treat and insanely delicious. We cannot wait to come back here and loved every part of our dining experience!

Best steak (splurge on the wagyu), best ambiance, and delicious cocktails (Fav's: FRENCH 75 & CARL'S CLUB)
Be the first to ReplyThere is great hype about this restaurant and we've
There is great hype about this restaurant and we've literally wanted to give it a try for years but various circumstances blocked the way. So finally tonight, my wife treated me to B&R to celebrate my 60th birthday and I was fully prepared to embrace some of the finest steaks and service that our sea side town has to offer........... While there were some upsides amongst the appetizers, there was a painfully long gap between them and a delicious table side Caesar salad (attributed to a shortage of carts??) and the steaks. So here's where the big disappointment arrives... while the wagyu was pretty sweet, and the the filet was on par with what I can readily produce at home at 1/10th the price, the ribeyes were so tough and leathery that the razor edged Japanese knife provided could barely penetrate their surface.Yes, there were some upsides to this culinary adventure, but certainly not competitive with other local high end steak offerings (like Cowboy Star). Our wallet departed less $1200.00 and we remain hungry and feel a bit betrayed...

I heard about this place from a friend that told me that i have to try it when I'm in San Diego, and which I did. We were a party of 4 and we're celebrating a birthday, our reservation was at 10:45pm but we had plans prior and they got cancelled so we went in a bit earlier. We signed in with the host and she said as soon a spot opens we will be seated. While waiting we had a drink at the bar, the first thing that caught my attention was how beautiful the place was. Beautifully and elegantly designed. The bar was really nice and the bartender took our drink order right away and they were really good. Our host got our table ready and we were seated and greeted right away. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and entrees " see pictures" The Caesar salad was my favorite, they make and toss the salad right in front you, was very interesting and entertaining, not many places do that so 5/5. For the entrees they were ok. We had the full lobster which lacked flavors and the beef Weligton which the sauce had a very strong flavor so not my favorite. I'm sure other entrees are pretty good so can't wait to try something else next time I'm in San Diego. P.S. portions are big and generous. Service was top notch, our server was on top of everything and kept checking on us. Recommended!
Be the first to ReplyVery fun experience.
We really enjoyed eating at the bar, sort of tapas style by pairing drinks with the side dishes. It is SUCH A COOL atmosphere, offering two different environments depending on your mood and noise preference, and I suppose weather as well.
Be the first to ReplyCame in at 4:00pm to go to happy hour on my birthday.
Was so excited to go in and have food and drinks as happy hour is from 3:00 -4:30PM (It even says so on their Instagram). However the hostess turned me away and said they stopped seeing for happy hour already. At 4pm you stopped seating tables for you happy hour? Weird. I think what's worse is that she Just told me point blank with a slight "I'm better then you" attitude and wasn't apologetic at all. Which honestly sucked, especially because it was my birthday. But I have been to born and raised before and had prior good experiences!

One of the only places I've been where they can make a proper drink. It's worth it to spring for the table side bartenders. You're paying for the experience and the atmosphere. This is my weekend go to!
