The Berkowitz family opened a fish market in Cambridge's Inman Square neighborhood in 1950, giving birth to the Legal Sea Foods brand. Customers were granted "Legal Stamps" (forerunners of S&H green stamps) with their purchases at a related family business adjacent to the market at the time, a grocery store called Legal Cash Market. The name "Legal" became linked with excellence and freshness throughout this time. The first Legal Sea Foods restaurant debuted in 1968, directly across from the fish market. The fish was simply grilled or cooked before being distributed on paper plates at communal picnic tables. The Company's commitment to quality standards, freshness, and the integrity of the entire pier-to-plate process remains unchanged today. By concentrating on people (our employees and guests) and excellence in everything we do, we continue to raise the bar and set the brand apart from the competition. So when we declare, "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!" we're reaffirming a dedication that has kept the brand alive for more than 50 years.

When you attend a private event at the Biltmore with your family, friends, or coworkers, you get to enjoy all of life's greatest hits in one wonderful evening! We can collaborate with you to design a menu based on the Biltmore's trademark appetizers, entrees, sides, and desserts. Within the renowned walls of the Biltmore, there is something very distinctive and unique. As you travel the century-old wood floors to your private Biltmore party room, you are a part of history, from the original stamped tin ceilings to the beautiful wood paneling. You can almost imagine the big parties that have taken place throughout the decades to celebrate life, love of food, and good times. With these excellent places available for your perfect celebration, this local tradition continues today. The Biltmore, which opened in 1914, has a long history as a Newton favorite. It started out selling breakfast and ale to local industrial workers staying the night, and its four-lane bowling alley was a popular hangout for decades. The Biltmore was a secret speakeasy for the upper crust during prohibition, frequently hosting private events for dignitaries, politicians, and celebrities. The Biltmore underwent a stunning refurbishment a century after it first opened, restoring the ancient building's grandeur while providing a more pleasant atmosphere. Much of the original brick façade and interior have survived the test of time, as has the original wood flooring. We maintain the Biltmore's spirit alive today with American food and a rotating variety of local beers and handcrafted cocktails. Something exciting is always happening at the Biltmore. Our events give a traditional restaurant experience a new spin. Come in for Oyster Mondays, Karaoke Fridays, and a whole lot more. We also have a private dining room available, which is ideal for any special occasion. We are excited to share history with you!
