About the Chefs

Jeremy and Lisa Sewall created Lineage Restaurant's concept. We are a married couple with extensive culinary experience and deep New England roots. Located in the heart of Coolidge Corner, Brookline, Massachusetts, the name "Lineage" is based on Jeremy's own. In 1705, when this "Muddy River" hamlet of Boston became incorporated, Samuel Sewall, son of Judge Sewall of Salem Witch Trials fame, lent the community his services as the first Town Clerk and, it is thought, the name of his family's "Brooklin" lands, which lay between the Charles and Muddy Rivers. Fishing has also been a livelihood of the Sewall family throughout the generations. Even today, cousin Mark Sewall continues the tradition aboard his boat Kelpa, sailing out of York Harbor daily to help supply Jeremy with some of the tastiest lobster in town. Our goal is to bring an excellent dining experience to a vibrant neighborhood setting that is warm and comfortable with atmosphere and food.
