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.

We arrived with two toddlers in tow. The server was great and asked the kitchen staff to prepare a grilled cheese (not ordinarily on the menu)- served with their typical fries- very good and very much appreciated! Butternut squash soup, fish sandwich and beet and arugula salad were excellent!

Nice place for brunch. A little pricey. Waiter was very personable, forgot 1 item for party of 7, understandable. The fruit in the fruit bowl side order was tasteless, which was better than the flavor of onion, or something else, of the strawberries that came on our French toast, it tasted like they were cut on the same cutting board as the onions for the French onion soup. If they bring up their fruit game, and a little more attention to details (it was cold inside, right next to the fireplace, which was lit, but down to tinder’s.) Potential 4.5-5 stars with a bit more effort.
