Lineage is one of a kind!!! – My friends and I are frequent diners at Lineage and our visits to this restaurant are never less than fabulous so I decided to show them some support. Their food is absolutely amazing and the service is impeccable, everytime! The food and wine is upscale and delicious, but with unexpectedly low prices. Also, the servers are different than the servers at most restaurants because they are not snobby, but instead are friendly and informative. Futhermore, their menu changes daily so we always have v... read more
Bad Food + Bad Service = Lineage – The night started off poorly when we were not seated for over 40 minutes after our reservation, and the hostess seemed to take exception to our inquiries regarding when we would be seated. The bread looked fantastic, but our waiter forgot to bring us any until we requested it well after our appetizers had reached the table. Although we were seated by 8:30, they were already out of several menu items. Three orders of fish (halibut, swordfish, and scallops) were all overcooked and the pumpkin... read more
Excellent Value for Great Food! – My fiance and I went to Lineage after reading some rave reviews in various Boston publications and the food lived up to my expectations! I had an excellent corn soup with really tasty "beignets"; a nice juxtaposition of sweet (corn) and salty (beignets) food. The roasted chicken was fantastic, both tender and flavorful. Contrary to some of the reviews on Citysearch, the service that night was good. Our waitress was very friendly and everything arrived according to what we ordered. The only d... read more
Very Disappointed – My husband and I had dinner at Lineage last night. We had made reservations and were seated promptly. We both ordered appetizers which we really enjoyed but both of our entrees were terrible. I ordered the Cod, it had no taste, and neither did the risotto or vegetables that accompanied it. My husbands chicken was not cooked all the way through and was also flavorless. The waitress apologized and a manager came by to offer us a desert on the house. With so many wonderful restaurants in Brookline we will de... read more
Very good food, bad service – The food was very good to excellent in a nice-looking if austere restaurant. But the service was so bad that we may not go back. The problems: 1. We were practically shooed out of our seats at the bar so they could seat diners there. And there was no offer to transfer our tab from the bar to the table. 2. We were served a glass, and then a whole bottle, of champagne, that was warm. No apologies for the glass, although it was replaced, and then we were assured that the bottle had been "in the chi... read more
Inspired menu, perfect portion size but may vary significantly on the same dish, good service. – Lineage amazingly had a table for two during a busy Thursday evening at peak hours and offered an inspired menu of both incredibly tasty appetizers (try the warm figs with blue cheese which would better be served as a dessert choice!) and the best tuna tartare ever. However as I was enjoying the priciest entree on the menu ( three tender sea scallops on mushroom risotto at $27), I noticed that at the two ajoining tables where pat... read more
Amazing – I dined there last night. The food and service were excellent. The menu changes daily -- seafood items are a highlight. I had the scallops. My friend had steak. We shared the butterscotch pudding - which was devine. Can't wait to try it out for brunch. It was a busy night and there were no tables available so we happily ate at the bar. Next time we'll make reservation.
Cozy Casual Brunch – The coffee was excellent, the food was in just the right portion sizes to be filling and the service was prompt but unobtrusive. I had the Lineage burger, which was cooked to perfection with a side of french fries that had a distinctive smoky salty flavor. I tasted my partner's salmon hash with poached eggs and found it equally good.
No ambience, poor seating (could not get into my seat without asking someone to get out of their seat) uninspired food (my pea soup was a rough pea puree, my pork chop was thin & dry, although I requested medium, the dessert was excellent), at average pricing. Service was fine. Poor wine selection. My wife enjoyed her salad, but felt her crab was different, but not above average. None in our party of six felt they would return.
