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.

Liberty & Main has always been our go to restaurant for special occasions. The food is always outstanding and the menu changes frequently so you will never get bored. The Chef presents amazing specials while the classics are executed very well. This is by far the best restaurant experience at Legacy Place. This review is coming from a Chef of over 30 years in the industry. Thank you Michael, Doug and your team.
