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.

    Always a great experience dining here. I’ve always dined in the dining room so more of a dining experience that is quieter I imagine then the bar side. I always love a more robust vibe so will have to try sitting over there on my next visit. Service was attentive without hovering and water filled as needed which is always a plus for me. We each had steaks that were cooked to perfection. Rather then having a few glasses of wine I ordered the half bottle of Alexander Valley Merlot which was priced conservatively. My friend had an espresso martini that he said was delicious. We ordered two sides as well. I loved the green beans that were sautéed Al dente which is how I prefer them and was satisfied. Also had a side of garlic mashed that were eaten by my friend and just got a meh. I ended up w half my filet and most of the sides in to go containers. This is a great date spot, celebration spot or just a go to for the best steak around. Highly recommended. And prices are consistent for the quality.

    Everything was delicious, especially the beets appetizer and the risotto. Not a lot of vegetarian options on the menu, but they will modify menu items to accommodate vegetarians. Overall, a lovely place for dinner.
