PATIO SEATING IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE

The 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.

    It’s been about a year since we were here. We forgot how surprisingly delicious everything was. My wife and I sat at the bar. Victoria was great! Great cocktail and wine. We had the Honey Salmon and the Shrimp Tacos. We had to be bad and a side of the regular French fries! Looking forward to our next visit!

    Tried this restaurant for the first time based on the generally good reviews and desire to try something different in the area. We were seated and served our drinks in a timely manner. Beer and cocktail selections were good and diverse. We got the wings and brussels sprouts appetizers, and both were excellent. Things started to seemingly fall apart after that. It looked like there was only one server managing too many tables on her own. Both our dinners and those of the tables around us, waited for quite some time for them to be delivered. In fact, one table gave up and left before their dinners were served. We were already halfway through our second round of drinks before our food finally came. One of us was given the wrong meal, which remained on our bill until it was pointed out. The burger was overcooked (server never asked how we wanted it cooked, nor wrote anything down for that matter, which likely led to the aformentioned mistake). And the shrimp tacos didn't seem to have the sauce as described on the menu. Overall, it was just okay, but we'd probably not go back again.

    Server left empty plates and glassware multiple times, even when pushed to side of table. Food was fast, hot, and good standard fare.

    Overall the experience was okay. I will attribute it mainly to the fact that there was what seemed to be a wedding after-party going on. It did take a while for the food to arrive (got in at 7:30, didn’t get our food nearly till 8:45-9:00) and appetizers hadn’t come till about 8:15. The service had no issues, and the waitress was very sweet and transparent. It was extremely noisy mainly because of one table sitting next to us that was talking over one another discourteously. The moment they got up and left it was quiet. The food itself was pretty good so no complaints there. I did appreciate the fact that dessert was comped, so I won’t be too upset about being told there were two options, ordering one and then being told that option isn’t available (will attribute once again to the wedding after party). Other than that, the experience was okay, but the waitress was great.

    I have been going to this restaurant for many years but this past year the noise level has increased exponentially for some reason. I’m not sure I will return given it was hard to have a conversation with others at my table.
