Better Than Sex

I figured I'd return with a BANG and share the deliciousness that is Better Than Sex. What's better than sex? Some could argue very few things, but this dessert haven is making that claim and doing a preTTy good job at supporting it.

The Hubs and I went to this dessert restaurant for our anniversary. And I must say, there is a rather...sensual theme throughout the restaurant.

 Dark, deep reds, pinks and browns scream romance.  So many textures, and suggestive pictures in the decor create a rustic feel which makes it more comfortable...more sexy getaway-like, instead of hot and sweaty walk around Key West feel.  It's dark and intimate--fittingly so.

Okay, lets start out with drinks:
Since everything on the menu is so....sexual, there is a creation called the "Rim Job." It involves a wine of your choice served in a glass dipped in a chocolate that complements the wine.  If you're not into wine, they have rim jobs for your beer too (The Hubs got a chocolate beer in a rim jobbed beer mug called "The Gyration")!
If this wasn't what you were expecting, you may get a slight something out of it as you watch the person across from you lick the outside of their wine glass like a lollipop to get the last bit of chocolate off..

Carly's Button....partially consumed

I completely enjoyed my rim job. I was amazed at how the sparkling wine and chocolate paired together so well--what's even better is that the madame head chef creates the mixture of chocolate herself so that it is purely unique to this wine (and every other wine) and this restaurant!

Now, dessert!

The dirty talk doesn't stop with drinks. With some desserts titled "Team Cream," "Cookie Nookie Pie" and "Peanut Butter Perversion," I think you can start to see that a naughty vibe is produced and expected inside this venue. The wonderful part is that you can't help but join in.

We told them it was our anniversary and they planned accordingly (with no extra charge), to deliver to us our order on pleasantly decorated plates and a candle for the occasion!

The "Missionary Crisp" - a delicious skin-on apple crisp

I had the Missionary Crisp with "Vanilla Bean Balls" "on top." It was wonderfully buttery and rich for an apple crisp.  The only thing that I did not enjoy was that the skins were left on the apples. It does indeed say skins are left on in the description, but I thought it would not have been as noticeable--alas, it was.

The Bottom Line:

Food: The food is lovely and decadent. There's a broad array of desserts too. Sorbet, chocolates, crisps, dessert wines and beers. It's a real sultry treat.

Price: Prices are pretty middle of the road. It is a restaurant solely dedicated to desserts, so spending $9-$12 per dessert is rightly worth it.

Service: The service is pretty good. Servers base their service off of your needs. If it's your anniversary, they're congratulatory and leave you space to kanoodle. If you're there under a more jovial nature, they giggle with you at the names of the items too.

Overall: A really good dessert spot. I really like the decor, and playfulness of the menu that plays into the "Better Than Sex" mantra. The desserts are definitely delicious, the rim jobs are surprisingly good and its a good place for either an anniversary, bad day at work, or good day just for fun! So, IS it better than sex? Let's just say, if all you've been rocking is the plain old missionary, maybe the missionary crisp with Vanilla Bean Balls on top will set you right.
