Born and Raised San Diego Reviews
My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday and we had the
My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday and we had the most unforgettable time . We waited by the bar while our table was ready while the place was packed everything was still great we waited about 10 minutes and shortly after our waitress explained the whole menu to us , although I was one too many martinis in lol! She was sweet and attentive I got the filet mignon and it was the best I've ever had! Hoping to come to SD soon again and come by! The ambiance is spectacular!
Classic San Diego glam with a modern twist.
The space is gorgeous (leather booths, fun lighting, and a rooftop that's perfect for people watching). I'm vegetarian, and I was happy to see some thoughtful options on the menu. I went with the ratatouille, and it was amazing. Full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and just the right portion. The staff were super helpful and made it easy to navigate the menu as a vegetarian, which I really appreciated. Cocktails were great too (not too sweet) Overall, it felt like a special night out and I've recommended this spot to a bunch of friends if they're visiting San Diego. Definitely a place I'd come back to, especially for the rooftop and the vibe!
Delicious.
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 birthday note and dessert which was a very nice touch. Recommend: sampler wagu platter, bread, Uni spaghetti, and Mac and cheese. Oh and the table side Ceasar salad was fun. All and all very nice dinner.

After a successful episode of San Diego "Day Drinking, we needed to be born and raised back to the good old days. - great drinks - potato loads - fillet was delicious Everghting was amazing
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. Would definitely visit again for a special occasion!
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 isn’t usually a fan of carrot cake, I found that following the staff’s recommendation was definitely the right choice this time. The cake is fluffy and the cream’s sweet-tart balance is perfectly executed. Even though I was already quite full, I couldn’t bear to leave it behind and ended up taking some home to enjoy slowly later.
My partner and I came to Born & Raised after getting
My partner and I came to Born & Raised after getting engaged last month and they made it the sweetest dinner! The team wrote us a card and included some celebratory extras with our meal. We tried the burgundy snails, summer salad, steak sampler, and had the baked Alaska for dessert! Everything was really good. Thanks for making our day so special!
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 decently priced. We ordered two 8 filets cooked medium plus Caesar salad and potatoes. When the steaks arrive one was rare and the other one was medium well to well done. We do not like to complain. But when we were asked how things were, we showed our steaks to our server and said one appears overcooked and one appears undercooked and he said I'm sorry I don't see the problem. Another server came over and said we're sorry you're unhappy. We will talk to the chef. After that, no one checked on us again. Upon receiving the check we did have a15% discount. Really not the point, if we can afford a$200+ dinner we expect good service. Did not receive it here!
The Mac n Cheese was good, the taste was there but it just
The Mac n Cheese was good, the taste was there but it just tasted cold it didn't have that warm feeling in your mouth when you're eating it, as well as their other plates. Overall pretty place.
My dad and sis Sueco here for every father related occasion. I don’t mind other than the price can add up.
Hands down the best steakhouse and wonderful experience here in San Diego. This is my dad‘s number 1 Requested Pl. for his birthday or Father’s Day. He loves anything table side so we always get the Caesar salad the steak Diane anything from Bay if there’s a special dessert on the menu. He also love his cocktails, so the cocktail cart that can come by and make him a marine teeny just makes it heavenly. Personally, I always think the food quality is high generous portion so for an older gentleman and his food intake, conscious daughter, splitting a meal like steak Diane with all of the extras that you can get including the bread the dessert the salad is totally worth sharing an entrée. The cocktails are always fantastic. The only downside is I wish they would get on board with the rest of the world and start putting some really great high-quality French siders English insiders or even some of our more upscale California sliders on the menu to choose from there’s some amazing pairings that could be created with our local ingredients, particularly around thevegetable or fruit forward. We go here at least twice a year, and if we could afford it probably once a month.

I spent hours searching for the right spot in San Diego and skipped over Little Italy only to discover that Born & Raised is the place to be. The art deco blended with mid century modern design is stunning and even just sitting at the bar was extraordinary. The espresso martini served by a lovely bartender, was flawless, rich, smooth, and not overly sweet, upon request, your cocktails come with custom laser printed foam that elevates the experience even further. As I left, guests were raving about the food, the rooftop patio offered beautiful views, and even the bathrooms were an experience of their own. Forget Gaslamp, this is where you want to be.
Amazing Wagyu! The steak!? Chefs kiss! The steak melted in
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 frankly the most boring Ceasar salad I've ever had for 24$... The NY strip was well cooked, but no sauce and totally unremarkable . Dirty hash browns were greasy with some red fish eggs, which taste wise did not make much sense. Just basic cakes were not inspiring for desert, so skipped it.
Born & Raised
It was a great experience I went solo and sat at the bar had the house old Fashion Born & Raised Melissa the bar tender makes a hell of a drink . Adam took my dinner order I started with a crab salad moved to the house salad and finished with a Filet cooked to perfection the crowd and feel in the Restaurant has a great vibe if you are in San Diego and visit Little Italy it is a must to stop in.
Excellent meal
I had an excellent experience at this steak house while travelling on business. The service was excellent. The vibe was amazing. And the food was all great! I would go back every time I’m in town.
Ok first time Sunday chill
Wow what can I say HORRIBLE!!! Great service good cocktails fun ambiance but terrible food !!!! Cold under excited Served cold !!!
A Must-Do in SD
It’s 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 bartender was a concierge. We were always looked after. Now, the stellar food just added to all this. You thought noodles were boring? Get the uni noodles for finding Jesus. And the whipped potatoes with those peppercorns. The filet was perfection. Top it with blue cheese. And get some of the best carrot cake on the planet for dessert. I’m verklempt with the memories
Beautiful, but I won’t 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 events, it was a sunday evening, 9pm, we did NOT have a reservation. Upon entering the hostess informed us there were no available tables, all empty tables were reserved and they were no longer serving food-the website stated they closed at 12am. After looking around the half empty restaurant l observed some tables had reserved signs and others did not. I quickly explained the bday situation to the host and asked if we could grab a quick dessert she stated the bar was self seating and that the bartender would decide if they were able to offer my daughter dessert. We used the restroom and attempted to sit at the available seats at the upstairs bar a blonde bartender quickly informed use we were not allowed to sit there, I asked her if the seats were reserved, she only reiterated we could not sit there. After returning to the downstairs bar I asked to speak with a manager regarding my experience she explained that the tables were not reserved however she had no one to clean them if they were used, went and spoke with the bartender at the upstairs bar and returned stating she was unsure of why we were refused service there and offered to escort us to the upstairs bar. I thanked her but informed her we would remain downstairs. We were cheerfully greeted and served by the male bartender at the downstairs bar who made us a delicious bday cake shots. Parking was easy the restaurant was gorgeous the cake was phenomenal however we will not return. This could of been a raving review of the restaurant, the food and the staff’s willingness to go above (above referring to their willingness to wipe the table-something the manager could have done honestly) and beyond to accommodate an unreserved guest. Thankfully there are comparable restaurants in the area.
Reached out to manager via email and they never responded.
Sad that I'll never be back
B&R is one of my favorite spots, both for HH and
B&R is one of my favorite spots, both for HH and dinner/desserts/drinks. The service is exceptional. Connor assisted us at the bar and explained everything. The food is great. I personally love the uni pasta and dirty potatoes with caviar. Consortium Holdings always has there aesthetic. The vibe is top notch and never misses. It's definitely a place to bring visitors or just to grab drinks with friends.
My husband and I weren't able to go to Born and Raised in
My husband and I weren't able to go to Born and Raised in December while we were in San Diego, so when we booked our trip in July it was the first reservation that we made! Dining at Born and Raised is an event, meal experience and educational tour combined into one. Our server educated us in the difference between 10+ different cuts and types of meat, different cooking processes, glazes, sauces types of bourbon and origins of their top Italian white wines. He listened intently to our questions and didn't miss a beat with his recommendations. They were spot on! We ordered the meat sampler, the dry roasted rib eye and the hamburger( oddly enough best hamburger around- Little Italys best kept secret!!). The recommendations against the boneless rib eye were so smart, because the bone in rib eye was To Die For. Our sides were the broccolini, the Mac and cheese ( get it, you won't regret it) and the mushrooms- amazing! My husband and son ordered the Born and raised old fashioneds and were impressed. The biggest surprise of the night was the AMAZING espresso martini! I was on the fence about ordering it because it is so easy to make an awful espresso martini. Our waiter was so confident that theirs was delicious that he told me that if I didn't like it he would have the bartender make me something different. When I got it it was not only beautifully done, but delicious! The best one that I've ever had by far! A dessert in itself
At long last, I was able to stop in to Born and Raised to
At long last, I was able to stop in to Born and Raised to try the very very popular restaurant on the main drag in Little Italy. A friend visiting decided on B&R as her birthday dinner location after reading several reviews and pictures of the popular steakhouse on India Street. We made a later than usual reservation on a Sunday night (8pm) due to a packed weekend agenda. We arrived early to our reservation and were directed to the bar for 5 to 10 minutes while our table was prepped. The bar itself, I have to say was extremely nice. Definitely a classy, old school vibe inside (lots of gold inspo) and very welcoming low lighting for a a special occasion dinner or date. We were seated quickly at our table and our waitress was very attentive to her birthday. My friend decided on a Wagyu steak (5/5) and we split the table side Caesar salad (4.5/5), and some other shareable sides. I went with the pork chop (4/5)entree. Our drinks were also very good. The food came out very quickly and all in all a really really good experience for quite a popular location in San Diego. The lighting and decor makes it very instagrammable and yelp worthy. The bar upstairs was also very noticeably impressive. Very very nice bar ambience and definitely a good spot to stop in if you'd like a drink instead of dinner or just meeting for dessert. Will definitely be back!
Born and Raised Atmosphere: 5 Food: 3.
5 Service: 4.5 We came to Born and Raised for a dinner with our friend, and we started with drinks at the upstairs bar/seating area, while our downstairs table was ready. She had a sauvignon blanc, I had a Hugo spritz, and my husband had an Aperol spritz. The vibe was fun and casual, upbeat dance music, and yummy apps including the bone marrow and snails, and shrimp cocktail (my fave item, since it had a delicious cocktail sauce and capers.) The bread comes with butter, but I found the bread to be too soft and doughy, I prefer baguette textures. When our table was ready, we moved downstairs and sat in the dimmer, more elegant tables, overlooking the open kitchen concept I still love. I had the bone in ribeye, my husband had the bone in NY strip, and our friend had the filet mignon, all medium rare, and we shared the sides of mushrooms and pureed potatoes. The steaks were delicious!! However, we found the apps and sides to have too much seasoning and salt. This is a beautiful space. The service could have improved with more attention with water refills and getting our bill. Overall, I'd say it was a 4.2 rating. Would try it again, but maybe order other sides.

Great interior with a great bar while you wait for your table. Good place to spend a birthday. Rooftop looks nice too but haven't eaten up there.

Ok right off the bat let's just start by saying what a cool place! Really fancy and upscale. Super cool old school vibe. The waiters wear tuxedos and converse. There is a bar downstairs along the dining area, and a spectacular outdoor patio bar area upstairs on the roof. I ordered the filet mignon, which came out perfectly as ordered (medium is my usual preference) was tender and flavorful. The sides really stood out to me, particularly the potato purée. They have a cocktail cart that can make drinks table side, as well as a dessert cart. Will come back!
Poor experience
Ordered medium rare steak and it was overcooked. Told the server and he just said sorry. They add a 4% surcharge to every customer and the server said nothing is passed on to the employees. Our Uber driver confirmed this restaurant is totally a tourist trap. Mediocre food but very pricey. Definitely won't come back!
Steak was overcooked and certainly over priced.
Service was good but won't repeat. Our Uber driver confirmed that this restaurant is totally a tourist trap.
Wow, what a crappy experience and I have been to a lot of
Wow, what a crappy experience and I have been to a lot of places.... First you need a rez, I get that... got one and sat at the bar, if you sit at the bar expect drinks to be flowing (a good thing) but food..... forget about it and anything table side ? Ya no.... Pay extra for nothing cuz your paying the same price. As for food. It was pretty good, just don't expect the same quality if your at the bar vs restaurant. Aka your food sits there until some decided to get it. Very unfortunate experience from what I'm used to here but none the less, no excuses. Also, hostesses are more ignorant than a bull in a china shop, they need more training.
What a treat it is to have a restaurant like home and
What a treat it is to have a restaurant like home and raised here in San Diego. ESPECIALLY if you get to sit upstairs on their rooftop bar overlooking little Italy and downtown. This place is such an experience from their amazing drinks to their delicious food. I don't think I have ordered anything I didn't love. My favorite thing ever is their espresso martini and the table side Caesar salad!! We got the steak sampler which is delicious but my personal preference is just a filet since I'm not a wagyu lover. The bone marrow is amazing and so is anything seasonal they have. Not to mention the service is top notch which exceptional staff. You do have to make weekend reservations fat in advance though. If you ever get a chance to go, you would not regret it
An absolute experience
Visiting San Diego from out of state. The place looked so appealing I went in on a whim even though it’d be my 4th stop of the evening. I’m certainly glad I did, because I had a wonderful time and was incredibly well-taken care of by Filipe and Hayden. I was solo-traveling for work and despite working within a budget, it was absolutely obligatory to splurge and go make another stop the next day. That time I visited the upstairs open-air bar as well as the dining room bar. B&E is impeccable in every way and with every careful and expeditious step they make. I cannot wait to visit again so very, very soon!
Nice atmosphere and bar
Went there for drinks only. We were seated at the bar upstairs. Nice atmosphere and attentive service. Large selection of drinks. Prices a bit on the higher side.
Classy Vibrant Upscale Steak House
The meal at Born & Raised was much anticipated by my friends and me. First, the valet parking is chaotic and the price does not agree to the restaurant's web site. The web site states is $10; however, the valet stated was $20. Unsure of the difference in pricing. When we arrived, our table was not ready even though the restaurant had sent me like 4 confirmations via text and email. After I voiced my displeasure, they cobbled together a table in brutal searing sunlight. Also, the fur chairs really look shabby and Flintstone-esque. Once seated, everything went well for the remainder of the evening. The decor is stunning like dining in a 1920s cruise ship. The service was very professional in every way. The restaurant rolls around carts of various drinks and foods. The cocktails were excellent (although the martini glasses a bit small). Also, the restaurant does not serve but two vodkas as the owners dis-like vodka. The shrimp cocktail was really good although not a classic shrimp cocktail and more like a shrimp salad in an avocado half. The NY strip was perfectly prepared as were the pork chops (although the waiter tried to dissuade us from ordering the pork). The mashed potatoes a real winner! The macaroni and cheese quite lackluster and I would not recommend. The wine list is really exceptional and the Chassagne-Montrachet we had was truly a great value and delicious. The bathrooms are up two flights of stairs. The prices are no more than most restaurants of this caliber. I recommend this restaurant for the service, food and atmosphere and would most certainly return.
Fancy
It’s difficult to dine here without reservations. We decided to try our luck at walk-in. We got lucky and they had bar seating available for us upstairs. Upstairs is an outdoor patio with beautiful views. The food menu looked amazing but we didn’t come here on an empty stomach so it didn’t make sense to order steak. Although the hot and cold dish such as uni spaghetti and snails were calling my name! Instead, I enjoyed a cocktail. My spirit of choice is tequila but none of the cocktails had that so my next choice would be gin. The French 75 has gin, lemon, grapefruit and wine. It’s the wine that creeps up on you! Absolutely delicious craft cocktail that’s refreshing, citrusy with a kick of sweet, sour and bitter. Downstairs has modern vibe with a mix of old Vegas but upstairs is where you want to be! Especially in San Diego you get that perfect weather of indoor/outdoor feel. There’s also a fire place. The mixologists dressed in tuxedo tops with shorts. Will need to come back when we’re craving for steaks!
Food is great.
Service is awesome. Ambiance is 10/10 date night. Definitely a favorite spot for me and my husband.

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
Jared 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
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
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!
We 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
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!
Great dining experience.
The food, drinks, service were amazing. The streak sampler is a must. We had a great dinner. Thank you.
I 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
Birthday dinners for two.
No parking lot only open street parking. Difficult to find parking near by. I had reservation and was seated on time. The interior was not as elegant as I expected. I didn't see any tables, we were seated at a booth for two. No table cloths. Promptly waited on and received excellent service. The ambiance and dinner music left much to be desired, did not live up to the restaurant reputation. We ordered the 4 Steak sampler for two with mushrooms. The steaks were, prime ribeye, 35 day dry aged ribeye, American wagyu ribeye and Japanese wagyu ribeye. Wow! Wow! This was a wonderful experience to taste the difference between the 4 steaks. The quality and quantity was over the top wonderful. Each steak had its own taste and texture but the Japanese wagyu was unbelievable . The Japanese wagyu burst in your mouth with flavors and taste like nothing I have ever had. Plenty of steak for two. A meal to remember. Very expensive but well worth the cost for the experience.
Beautiful Steak House
In the middle of Little Italy a boujee great Steakhouse. Bar was awesome. Rooftop bar & tables. Unique experience at time of desert too.
Great scene and good food
Gorgeous ambience. Not the best steak I have ever had but a very solid steak. The service was excellent. Try the rooftop deck.
Great Food, Okay Ambience
Had very high expectations for my birthday dinner here and some were met while others not so much. I expected delicious food at a hefty price and the bread, Caesar salad made table side, steak sampler, potato and mushroom sides and carrot scale all met expectations. Asked for a nice table and we were sat downstairs in what I can only describe as an awkward shared booth with two table that had a foot gap. The whole bottom floor was arranged that way and it was not very cozy or appealing. I also note it was very noisy and cold. If you do eat here, I highly suggest the upstairs balcony. Overall a good night with great food but not quite to expectations.
Wanna be exclusive restaurant
I’ve been to this restaurant several times. Good steak, very expensive and nice ambiance. Last night went up to the second floor bar for drinks and the restaurant was half empty. They did not serve us because the second floor is reservations only. There is no need for this sort of ridiculous behavior when your restaurant is empty!
