I strolled through Cherry Creek North yesterday, walking to meet a friend for lunch at North. Along the 2 short blocks that I walked from my car to the restaurant, at least eight tall, beautiful, willowy-thin women in designer clothes, the latest "it" handbags, and three-and-a-half inch Jimmy Choos passed me by. No kidding. Sure, there were plenty of regular joes like me around, walking their dogs or just enjoying the first day of respite from the 100-degree weather we've had the past week. Being me, of course, I had donned a plain denim skirt and T-shirt, wore my sunglasses as a headband, and slid into my comfy Born sandals before running out the door. In the restaurant, it was even worse. This may possibly be the only place in casual Denver where you can feel under-dressed for lunch.
Attire concerns aside, we had a lovely lunch. The modern decor, sexy vibe, and large picture windows looking onto a gorgeous summer day made for a pleasing backdrop against which we enjoyed our meal. The bread and roasted red pepper spread they bring to the table is always a low-carb-diet buster. We split the "Tutta la casa" salad - a chopped salad with goodies like capers, onions, proscuitto, salami, and gorgonzola nestling in the soft mounds of romaine. We also split the roasted eggplant pizza, with a thin crispy crust and a faint scent of truffle oil adorning the simple cubes of aubergine. The damage was only $13 per person, which is a good thing. If I want to keep eating here, I'll have to step up my wardrobe...
