“We loved Jeremy Sewall's cooking… and his modern eatery brings a welcome don't-mess-with-a-good-thing restraint to the bistro standards”.

2008 Edible Boston, Take a Chowder, By Clare Leschin-Hoar

“Chowders, in my opinion, are like cassoulets in France,” says Lineage chef and owner Jeremy Sewall. “Everyone has their own way of doing it and each region does it differently. I don’t know if one is better than another, but in this one section of New England, we have all these great chowders and it makes it fun.”

2006, by John Mariani – “Lineage is precisely the kind of food any sensible person would want to eat with relish and the kind of unassuming place where you'd want to eat on a regular basis.  Sewall has done his lineage proud.”

2006 Boston Globe, by Alison Arnett – 3.0 stars

Lineage, “…fish-centric cuisine that edged into fusion to a resolutely American way of looking at a menu.  It’s a California sensibility from the Alice Waters school, strong on ingredients and light on manipulation.”

2006 Boston Magazine By Corby Kummer  

“With food that’s fashionable yet familiar and an utterly laid-back scene, Jeremy Sewall’s Lineage proves you can go home again”.

2006, Boston Pheonix Lineage  By ROBERT NADEAU   4.0 Stars

There are at least three kinds of lineage invoked here. One is that chef-owner Jeremy Sewall is a descendent of the Salem judge who wrote in his diary about his enjoyment of memorable meals and treats, such as a 1697 cup of chocolate with the lieutenant governor, and whose son was a founder of Brookline. Another is that Sewall used to work at Great Bay (his wife and co-owner, Lisa, was the pastry chef at L’Espalier), and his seafood appetizers and entrées are impeccable.
