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.

    Buttonwood was a great weeknight dinner experience. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. She treated our kids exceptionally and even brought out a canoli dessert for my son's birthday. The food was seasoned well and executed perfectly. We had a table of 4 adults and 2 children, and we shared much of the menu. I enjoyed the pork chop dish the most but liked everything I tried. I can see why it's hard to get a reservation for this restaurant, and I will be returning soon.

    Took my girlfriend to eat for valentines evening, heard great things about the restaurant and I enjoyed my time there. We both had the chicken parmesan and the portion size was excellent. For 25 we both had leftovers and the food was delicious. Noise level was very high, but I figured that was due to the occasion. Definitely would want to dine here again.

    Our waiter, Felipe, was terrific. Timely service and we never felt rushed. Cocktails were excellent. We started with the fried calamari appetizer, which was very large and not the least bit greasy. Our steaks, filet mignon and NY strip, were cooked perfectly as ordered and their sides are large enough for two people. Not inexpensive, but a great restaurant for special occasions.
