• Steakhouse • Little Italy
Booked 116 times today
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.

• French • North Park

French in spirit yet distinctly California, this nouveau brasserie builds on the foundation that has made TRUST Restaurant Group one of the city’s most lauded: cooking over charcoal, vibrant flavors, simple techniques, and a willingness to take risks. The energy inside the restaurant is immediate - refined without feeling formal, polished but never stiff, with an easy sense of grandeur that feels grounded and lived-in. This is North Park, after all.
