About Restaurant L&E

Restaurant L&E is Linda and Everett Reid’s third restaurant venture together. The Reids have been partners since 1985 when they opened American Seasons Restaurant on Nantucket Island, where their innovative American regional menu captured the attention of both local and national press.

History

Chef Everett G. Reid III’s Culinary background includes training at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, the Cordon Blue in London and restaurants in Manhattan and Boston. Over their ten year’s as owner operators at American Seasons, they received great exposure from the Boston Globe and New York times and Everett was featured in the PBS television series and cookbook, Great Chefs of the East. American Seasons consistently received the highest rating possible in the Zagat Restaurant Guide. American Seasons still exists today under new ownership at 80 Centre Street on Nantucket Island.

Linda, who does the Wine List for Restaurant L&E, initially developed her passion and knowledge of wine at American Seasons where the wine list repeatedly won an Award of Excellence from the Wine Spectator, as well as coverage from the Boston press for being one of the first excellent “All American” lists on the East Coast.
Moona Bistro, also located on Nantucket Island was the couple’s second venture and was a foray into European Bistro food and wines.

Those who make it all possible
While the building at 59 main street has been serving food and wine to visitors and residents of Chester and the surrounding communities for over 30 years, it is the people who work inside the building that make it a restaurant. We are fortunate to have working with us many of the original waiters from Restaurant Du Village.
And OUI Madame Christine est ici. Chrisitine Bastian is still today, as she has been for over twenty years, bringing her special French hospitality and warmth to guests new and old.
