You can't NOT have a good time when you go to Lineage. Just to show you how popular they are there's always a line of people waiting to eat during dinner. Their menu changes frequently and their seafood is always super-fresh. If you like seafood this is the place to be. Try the fish dishes but I recommend the lobster (since the owner's cousin supplies them with only the best catches). I also recommend the chicken, tuna tare-tare, and crab cakes. Their staff is friendly and accomodating, the place is nicely decorated and painted a nice and cheerful yellow, the food from beginning appetizer to the last spoonful of dessert is wonderful. Make sure to save room for dessert because the butterscotch pudding and their blood-orange float is the type of dessert you dream of after you leave the restaurant. Also their interesting historical ties to Brookline adds one extra layer of intruige. So what's not to like? I brought my mother-in-law who is extra-picky about food quality, taste, and cleanliness (on top of the fact that she's a super-healthy eater) and the restaurant passed with her stamp of approval which says a lot.

Pros: consistently satisfying from appetizer to dessert
Cons: metered parking only
