About Restaurant du Village

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

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. Linda and Everett Reid have been partners since 1985 when they opened American Seasons Restaurant on Nantucket Island. The innovative American regional menu captured the attention of both local and national press. Over their ten year’s as owner operators, they received great exposure from the Boston Globe and New York times and Everett 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 on 80 Centre Street on Nantucket Island.

Linda, who does the wine List for Restaurant L&E, developed her passion and knowledge of wine at American Seasons and 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, on Pleasant Street on Nantucket Island was the couple’s second venture and was a foray into European Bistro food and wines.
