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.

    First time there, went with my wife and two adult sons. We arrived earlier than our reservation time, but the staff were very gracious about accommodating us. The food was fantastic. The fried chicken and biscuits are not to be missed. The sliders are likewise remarkable. The cocktails are expertly mixed; flavorful, complex, and quite strong. Overall, really great restaurant. Highly recommend.

    I love trying neighborhood black-owned business and Comfort Kitchen EXCEEDED my expectations. The entire experience was stellar from the warm welcome, the informed menu to the knowledgeable/kind staff. Every single dish we tried was amazing. Our drinks were balanced, inventive and top notch. I was celebrating my birthday and at the end of service the manager even gave me a handwritten birthday card. I will definitely be back.
