Our goal is to merge the dogmatic approach of Roman cooking with the amazing abundance of ingredients available to us in San Diego. A True Roman Holiday In SD.

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.

• Steakhouse • Little Italy
Booked 134 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.

• Chinese • North Park
Booked 36 times today
Among my chef friends and the epicurean elites, aka “foodies”, the conversation around great Chinese food was always centered around authenticity, with classic American Chinese takeout dishes not considered authentic. But, having grown up in the Chinese American restaurant my parents have worked at for the past 25 years, I’ve always seen it as a by-product of enormous creativity and ingenuity of Chinese Immigrants.

    I went last night with my Persian husband and father-in-law, and every single one of us walked away thrilled. As the toughest critics for this kind of food, the fact that they both loved it says everything. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor, the shirazi salad was a standout, and the tahdig was fantastic. Everything was so fresh with so many fun, delicious condiments alongside. But what really set the night apart was the attention to detail. The ambience was beautiful, and every little thing, right down to the glasses and the plates, was just impeccable. You can tell real care went into the whole experience. If you are looking for Persian food in a gorgeous setting, Leila delivers on every level. We will absolutely be back.

    I have been here several times and this place never disappoints! We started with a glass of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, which went well with the Pastrami sandwich and Smash cheeseburger. For sides ordered the Mac and cheese and seasonal crudo (bluefin tuna). Service is always good and our waiter so attentive. It was a perfect sunny day for a rooftop happy hour!
