PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVEThe Biltmore Bar & Grille is a modern American restaurant in Newton, MA with a longstanding history. No corporate restaurant chain or Hollywood set designer could ever recreate The Biltmore Vibe. In 1914, the Biltmore opened and served up breakfast and brew at 7AM for the overnight crews from nearby factories. It came with a 4 lane basement bowling alley that was a local hangout for decades.There was talk of a speakeasy during prohibition. The Biltmore was across the street from a regional rail stop and often hosted private events for dignitaries, politicians and celebrities.Much of original brick front and interior has remained the same over the many reincarnations of this legendary bar. The original old growth wood flooring has stood up to many timeless celebrations as well. Celebrating this neighborhood legend while serving up fresh new takes on classic dishes and drinks is what The Biltmore is all about.

Nice energy and ambiance. Good entrees but sad they don't give free oat bread. Deserts were underwhelming. Waitstaff continually interrupted which is the biggest complaint. Drinks very expensive.

Great place for excellent food and quiet conversation. The menu is interesting enough to have fun things to try, and also has the basics to meet all the cravings of a visitor or local looking for classic New England fare. The cocktails have been well- made and creative, over several visits, as well. (My Beantown Margarita recently was fantastic!) Service is attentive but not intrusive or hurried. Highly recommend this place, especially for a quieter gathering.
