Born and Raised San Diego Reviews from The Last Year
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.
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.
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!
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
Great interior with a great bar while you wait for your
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
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.

Great dining experience.
The food, drinks, service were amazing. The streak sampler is a must. We had a great dinner. Thank you.
Excellent food and service! The ambience is amazing and the
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!
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 Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
