I'd seen some mixed reviews about Mbar, and I'll admit--I was a little hesitant. But after finally checking it out for myself, I have to say: our experience was spot on. Yes, the view is incredible--you're perched above the city with

Atmosphere was way too loud, dining area was dimly lit (can barely read the menu), and the food was just okay. There was a spicy sauce on some of the dishes that felt out of place. Our server, Jake, was FABULOUS! Knowledgeable and patient explainin

Updating my review to five stars!!! My friend flew in from Hawaii so we could celebrate our birthdays a week early, and I knew she would love the art deco aesthetic! Our whole experience was A+! We had a reservation for the main dining room but r
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.
The vibe of the restaurant is incredible.
Our server Easy made it 10x better. He was really helpful in guiding us through the menu and recommended delicious food. We got the sampler for two and the cuts were just perfect. Easy really made us feel very welcomed and comfortable throughout our

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 fl
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 birt

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. W

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
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
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

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 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

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 Iโm in town.

A Must-Do in SD
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
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 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. Consor

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
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 touri
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.

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 deli
An absolute experience
Visiting San Diego from out of state. The place looked so appealing I went in on a whim even though itโd be my 4th stop of the evening. Iโm certainly glad I did, because I had a wonderful time and was incredibly well-taken care of by Filipe and H
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 di

Itโs 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 didnโ
Food is great.
Service is awesome. Ambiance is 10/10 date night. Definitely a favorite spot for me and my husband.
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

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
* PerceptiveWash44, 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.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 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 PerceptiveWash44 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, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44'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.
