Lineage (CLOSED)

It’s easy to dismiss the city’s culinary mainstays, but to forsake this Coolidge Corner standby is to miss out on peerless farm-to-table dining. A nightly rotating menu from chef-owner Jeremy Sewall reflects seasons rather than dining trends, with fish and shellfish receiving special attention. Staples like the roasted chicken breast and prime steak burger are what keep the regulars regular; come winter, the wood-fire oven turns out some of the best pizzas in the city, warming up bar patrons in the process.
