better than sex a dessert restaurant

better? no, not at all. this restaurant is over hyped. honestly, they have a catchy name and attractive descriptions for their desserts, but it is something else. a and i went hunting for this restaurant, just because i had heard great things about this p

first of all, i thought for a place named better than sex, it was cleaner and more classy than a walk down duval, or hey, go read some tshirts at a tshirt shop?? the menu was a little silly, yes. but the servers were attentive and professional, and the food could stand alone. every dessert and drink we ordered was delicious and presented beautifully. my favorite was jarka's drink, a red wine with a cherry chocolate rim (i apologize i have the name wrong; excellent server). our favorite dessert was named after the missionary... sort of a rustic apple crisp like dessert with vanilla bean ice cream that was simple and perfect. if we were local, we would have to come back until we had tried every item. fun place; but more importantly, good food and drinks.

better than sex- no, this isn’t a typo, it’s a legit kw restaurant. actually, a dessert only restaurant. ok, it’s a freaking tourist trap that i (willingly) gave in to, but, didn’t walk away disappointed. better than sex is located in a dark little red building. when you walk in, you’re given a handheld flashlight and shown to your seat. the menu is read in the dark (see where the flashlight comes in use?) and the descriptions of the dessert are, well…sexual. y

everything on the menu is amazing. come here hungry and you'll still leave with a to go bag. great atmosphere and the staff is very nice.

what a let down!!! the one night we were able to go to this place we parked walked to it finay got there an the sign on the door says "closed for no dirty dishes day" ok wtf???? tried to make a reservation leading up to this night an it never would let us ...not knowing they were going to be closed anyways they could could have put a memo on their wedsite!

our new friends had been to better than sex - a dessert restaurant already and they wanted to go back. intrigued we went along to give it a try. unfortunately they were out of the signature dessert (you guessed it - it's called "better than sex") but we still enjoyed some delicious treats as well as chocolate-rimmed dessert wine - whoa a serious sugar kick! the restaurant is dark and some of the menu items have racy names. they do provide flashlights so you can read the menu. definitely a unique place and not quite like anything i've ever experienced before.

just didnt care for it. i wasn't impressed by this place. i'm not a big sweet fan so it's not a surprise but figured i'd like the chocolate rimmed wine, i didn't . the combination just didn't meld for me. i much prefer savory with wine then sweet. it was dark as hell too and really a little more tacky then need be. i think they went overboard with the sex reference on each and every item, and i'm no prude.

i wouldnt come back here nor would i recommend it but it seems others like it quite a bit so you try and make up your mind for yourself

cool place, unique. not sure what type of sex y'all having though lol not that great. love the taste on what i tried. liked that the owners did it themselves with no formal training. very impressive. make sure you don't come thinking it is a dinner place. eat first, as there is no regular food here. otherwise youll order multiple deserts and eat it all like me 😊

what a unique idea, a restaurant that focuses on sensual gourmet deserts. plus the name "better than sex". you know i had to check out this place while on key west.
there are a small number of tables and a demand for this little gem. though we were able to walk in and wait (45 minutes) to get a table, i recommend reservations be made. they have a nice wait system where they text you when your table is available, so you can walk duval (block away) as you wait.
we sat in the nook dining room, which included a short narrated kitchen walk through tour. the nook reminded me of a monochrome victoria secrets - clean, upscale and sexy.
we started with drinks. we each had "gyration"s - chocolate stout served in a glass rimed with chocolate. the chocolate rim definitely brought out the chocolate in the stout and added a creaminess not customary in beer, but very enjoyable. very good.
my partner had the "tongue bath truffle" - two dense, rich chocolate tort wedges, served with raspberry sherbet and garnished with a white & milk chocolate ribbon. raspberry and chocolate has always been one of my favorite combinations and this was not a disappoint. though dense, the tort melted in my mouth and when combined with the sherbet was the perfect balance of flavor and texture: sweet vs. tart; dense vs. smooth. we both agreed it was great.
i enjoyed the "the morning after" - buttery french toast meets grilled cheese (brie) meets chocolate and berries, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon, served with a small strawberry champagne soup for dipping. consuming it was even more indulgent than it sounds. it can best be described as near to a religious experience!
the food here is great and atmosphere fun. this place is hyper romantic, so i f you can't get your grove on after dining here, it's on you!

great place to experience decadent and sinful dessert. perfect for birthday blowout or a romantic date. outstanding key lime pie. definitely try the chocolate dipped wine glasses!

a must try if you are in key west and are looking for something out of the ordinary. my favorite dessert that i tried was the peanut perversion.

excellent time, everything from service to drinks to dessert was flawless and delicious. we will definitely be back and recommend to all we know.

fun place. reservations a must. drinks are sweet and unique. caramel used to dip the glasses is super yummy. good variety of desserts. good flavor. service is good.

my family and i went to this dessert spot, yes i know and yes my parents did make plenty of jokes. we really enjoyed it and it was friendly for older kids and adults (we range from 19 years old to 50+). the desserts we enjoyed were the fever, tongue bath truffle, twist and stout, banana bazooka, and the blueberry birthday suit. all were excellent, but not mind blowing in the sense that i would make a special trip to go back. there are a wide variety of options for drinks and desserts that will match anyone's dessert personality. the strawberry champagne soup that came with the blueberry birthday suit was a stand out and we shared a cream soda which was also really delicious! the restaurant does have a darker, date-like environment if you're looking for a private experience. the service was fantastic! my gosh, these people are friendly. i highly recommend giving this place a visit if you're in town for the lovely staff and the fun novelty.

so good! i got the better than sex (chocolate bread pudding) and it blew my mind. boyfriend got the chocolate grilled cheese and it was excellent as well. the cream in my coffee was good. the chocolate around the rim was a little weird at first, but good.

i would definitely recommend getting a reservation to avoid a wait.
