Jamilla's Apple
Paul Reich: A Greensboro Wait
A manager since the 80s, Paul Reich knows his way around restaurants in Greensboro, NC. Tripps right of college into Liberty Oak. Then Lucky 32 between 1989 and 2000. Southern Lights to Europa. Then Cafe Pasta.
Now, Osteria. Osteria is Northern Italian translated in Greensboro as the best trip to Italy with all that comes. From bread service with cannellini beans to the rent, a star-studded menu to the senses. And Jamilla's Apple had the dine presented by the master.
Appetizer: Crepes with artichokes, spinach, peppers, ricotta, parmesan, tarragon, tomatoes and olive oil with balsamic drizzle. Salad: Caprese Tower: sliced tomatoes, fresh buffalo mozzarella, basil, olive oil, balsamic. Raw: Beef carpaccio with arugula and shaved parmesan and lemon dressing. To the Main: Grilled Whole Fish with spinach and fingerling potatoes with a Sauvignon Bianco (Northen Italy).
As far as the restaurant experience, Paul Reich wants you to be comfortable by "anticipating your needs and "lives a California lifestyle as the restaurant business has allowed him a lifestyle of financial freedom and "PUL: Patience, Understanding and Love." He pours my wine... and we continue. Sans dessert, I decided instead to finish the bottle. My dining experience was first rate. An unapologetic wonder to the food experience. And our interview was just that. Never taking a seat during my dinner service, he gave every grace. Heaven.
