Absolutely perfect dinner.

I was able to snag a last minute reservation for a party of 4 for dinner on a Thursday. Parking is always tough so make sure you give yourself time to find a spot or do valet. The restaurant has a classy, chic vibe to it though it is also very loud a

We came here for a weekend dinner after booking a reservation. From the outside, it looks like a regular modern restaurant, but inside it opens up into a gorgeous retro art deco space with cool mushroom-shaped pillars and a great bar where we grabbed

We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday, which I noted in advance through OpenTable because she really wanted to try this place. Unfortunately, we were seated by the front door, where a cold draft hit us every time someone entered. I asked

Second time at B&R and both times waited 20 minutes past reservation time to be seated (in a mostly empty restaurant). Not sure if this some kind of "hip" thing to grow the anticipation, but it's totally annoying. Additionally, b

This is a super chill place oozing with vintage 1920's art deco vibes, mixed with a little hip hop culture and Wu-Tang swagger. We arrived a little early so we opted for drinks at the bar. My Hemingway was decent but Ive had better. I wasn'

Management reached out with a kind and empathetic message.
Updating review to reflect the follow up. I would still give them a chance but not during peak hours and only with seated reservations at a table.

I was honestly so disappointed.
I was really excited to try born n raised. We had reservations and had to wait 30 mins to get seated. I was confused because there were open tables and there were guests getting seated right away. She said they have to wait for the people to leave th

Spectacular dinner at Born and Raised! The decor is incredible and the vibe absolutely impeccable. Classic yet modern, with just the right energy for a memorable night out. The tableside martinis were hands-down the best martinis I've ever had.

We came here for a girls night out dinner.
We sat downstairs for dinner. The food was delicious, but the martinis were better. We had dirty martinis from the martini cart and espresso martinis after dinner. Go for the espresso martinis- the best we've had.

Classic San Diego glam with a modern twist.

Ambiance is so nice. I would recommend the rooftop as it has a different vibe. Open air. Beautiful view. Decor upstairs and down is super fun. Service was very good. We went for my bday and my husband's so they have us a little personalized birt

Definitely see why this place is popular! It's beautiful.
I enjoyed sitting upstairs, the cocktail I had was fantastic as well as the burger and fries. Definitely a pricey meal at $50 plus a 4% surcharge, but the restaurant is so aesthetically pleasing with an old time feel and an upstairs open air patio. W

Where to start.
You would think a decent steak house would require their employees to have clean shirts. Not here several of the staff on the upper level had stained and/or dirty shirts. Not what you expect when ordering a drink. Our wine was nice and decentl
Fantastic Carrot Cake
When you come here, you absolutely must order the steak, but I highly recommend trying the hash brown. It is far exceeded my expectations. Additionally, I think the carrot cake is a standout. As someone who isnโt usually a fan of carrot cake, I fou

My dad and sis Sueco here for every father related occasion. I donโt mind other than the price can add up.
Hands down the best steakhouse and wonderful experience here in San Diego. This is my dadโs number 1 Requested Pl. for his birthday or Fatherโs Day. He loves anything table side so we always get the Caesar salad the steak Diane anything from Bay

Amazing Wagyu! The steak!? Chefs kiss! The steak melted in my mouth like butter! A must come when in town! Never had a better tasting steak in life! Live the drinks and atmosphere OH and the Mac & cheese!!! To DIE FOR! Didn't disappoint!
Lovely meal
We had a really lovely meal here, the steak and sides are amazing, the pudding lovely and the drinks are also really good. The staff are really nice and also knowledgeable. We would go back!
Uneventful and Expensive
This was a hyped event by some of the locals. Went in on a Tuesday night. Full house. It was very cool inside. Started with drinks. Lemon drop was ok, but at 24$ a pop is way overpriced... Ceasar salad was mediocre. Very light on the dressing and fra

Itโs a must-go in San Diego. I am so thrilled to write a review where not only did nothing go wrong but my expectations were exceeded. The views, cocktails, ambience are all divine. The highlight is the incredible service. I felt like each bartende
Beautiful, but I wonโt return
I so desperately wanted to have amazing things to say about this restaurant, unfortunately, I cannot. I am from out of state and was visiting my daughter for her birthday. We decided to stop here for desserts and a drink in between her birthday event

Connect with users posting reservations for Born and Raised San Diego
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Born and Raised San Diego. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Born and Raised San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Born and Raised San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Born and Raised San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Born and Raised San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
