Who doesn't like sweets. Love this place. I go here all the time. Every time I'm In KEY WEST. The chocolate grilled cheese is one of my favorite. I love dessert so every time I go in the keys I always make sure this is one of my stop.

This is the best place on this earth thus so far to eat at. The owners are the nicest people. All of the desserts are delicious..... I had jungle fever I believe. It was a freshly made brownie with white ice cream melted on top. I forgot what my partner had. WE came here a while ago.... They have cute little card games you can play while you eat. Someone that can be done on a second date. This is defiantly better then sex or with sex to go....

Holy mother of God! The brie and chocolated "grilled cheese" with cream of strawberry soup (chilled) is beyond fantastic. Coupled (no pun intended) with the cabernet in chocolate rimmed (again no pun) glass, this place is Better Than Sex!

Totally expected this to be overrated, but it absolutely lived up to all the other high ratings. Great deserts, ambiance, service, etc. The beers with chocolate and caramel rims (my wife had the porter, I had the apple ale) were incredible. Definitely something we will be trying for our next party. This is a "must do" for any couple or group of friends in Key West.

a romantic fun place to visit if you want to spice up your evening with delightful desserts. dessert itself is not the best of best, but the whole setting boosts up your mood.

The best desserts!!! We recently spent a week in KW and discovered this gem early on in our stay and we were glad we did. We stopped by for a late night dessert 2 evenings and took desserts to go for the next day since they were going to be closed. The peanut butter perversion cake was excellent- a large piece and very rich. I was addicted to the "team cream" creme brulee-- it was so creamy and different from other creme brulees I've had. It was topped with caramel sauce and broken up pieces of sugar candies rather than the traditional burnt sugar. The others traveling with us had the cheesecake and the chocolate truffles which they raved about as well. The ambiance is very nice and the cards with questions are a fun way to get to know random things about those you are dining with. Will definetely return each time we visit KW!

Ok, I LOVE a theme so I was thrilled when I walked in and saw that they had fully committed to the sensual, intimate theme with low lighting, love songs and sensual photography. But this place is not simply a themed restaurant with no follow through- they totally deliver on the desserts and drinks. These desserts are extraordinary! The menu is limited to about a dozen options but they pack each one of them (that we tried) with loads of delicious! Between drinks and desserts this place is not a bargain but it is well worth the spurge (in dollars and calories) for the experience that you have here. my husband and I liked it so much that we visited twice during our recent trip to Key West. If Better than Sex wants to open a Georgia location I would gladly be their first customer!

My husband was craving key lime pie after dinner at another restaurant (El Siboney something - Cuban place - not good at all inspite of great yelp reviews).. We ended up yelping for good key lime pie and found this cute place.. It is truly an experience!!

This place is absolutely ridiculous the owner is an award wining pastry chef. I had to try the red velvet cheesecake this was on that won an award. It looked rich so we do Edited to share it. I recommend a reservation we could not get in Friday when we stopped by. They told us call Saturday and leave our name 1-2 hours before we want to call and they send a text. They also offer wine dipped in chocolate. Imwas so stuffed. This place is really romantic and the desserts are to die for! If you are in Key West visiting put this place n your must do list!

The decor & atmosphere were romantic. I enjoyed the photo menus on iPads. Make reservations!! I got the peanut butter perversion. I was expecting something sweet & decadent. I was a little disappointed because it tasted salty. If I went again I would choose something else. 2 desserts, a soda, & a bottle of water cost us $36!!! I was glad to experience it once. I'm not sure I'd go back.

"Im so satisfied walking is hard" "It literally tastes like cheesecake in liquid form" "I tried thinking of something else besides thus moment and got mad at myself" "If I take more bites it will be gone..and that just makes me too sad" "I just need to pause and enjoy that" "We love Shelby" "There's no better desert in this Earth" "Dont take the plate I just need to stare at it a bit longer" "You just finished that first and you're the slowest eater I know" These are just things we said all night. No other conversation was had except about how incredible these deserts and this experience are. We had the slip inside, the shocker and some other delicious drink we couldn't remember the name of. The shocker has a chocolate drizzle on the outside of a wine glass with a sparkling red inside that allowed you to taste melted chocolate at the beginning of your sip, wine in the middle, and a last swallow of the dark or white chocolate slipping down your mouth as a final taste. Eyes will close and lips will turn up. I had the twist and stout whose first bit just tasted like any old chocolate cake with a frosted top, then I took a bite of stout ice cream in combination and learned it was teasing me because in truth it had a creamy beer stout chocolate mousse inside and the beer ice cream with salted caramel made a new level I had never tasted before and could not believe I'd lived so long without. Best desert experience you will ever have.

If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy sex, you MUST come here. Multiple times. :) This is a sexy little dessert restaurant where you can drink wine, spirits, and other beverages that are rimmed with chocolate or caramel. I felt a little naughty tonguing my caramel-rimmed glass, but it was so tasty. You can also order one of the many decadent desserts from the menu (which lights up, btw yelp.com/biz_photos/bettâ€¦ ) that imply sexual innuendos in both name and form ( yelp.com/biz_photos/bettâ€¦ ). This is a must do in Key West.

Setting is very dark and intimate since you need a flashlight to get seated. Loved their idea of an ipad visual menu displaying desserts and drinks which also facilitated in the decision making. Both desserts ordered were delicious while the service was quick and respectful our space. Hands down the best dessert place in Key West ;)!!!

I was really looking forward to having a dessert experience. The staff was very polite and our dessert was wonderful. My experience was ruined by a group of loud obvious drunk women at the table next to us. One women was passing out while her friends took pics of her. The women kept saying she was going to throw up and laughing .This just ruined the " experience" . We left early because of them . The group should of never been allowed in so drunk! I give 4 stars bc the food was delicious but I was left with a bad taste bc I was worried I was going to thrown up on the whole time.

Loved the concept but don't see what the "big deal" with this place is. Desserts were ok. I had the grilled cheese and chocolate and was not impressed. My husband had the banana dessert and it was much better than mine. Loved the Slip Inside drink. A bit pricey for the quality of the desserts but I guess you're paying for the whole experience. Ok to try it once but definitely not on my list to repeat. It's a "been there done that" experience.

Sebastian T.

Gotta go there We found this place on another rating site and visited the place. The concept is awesome and very well done. If you love sweets, you will love this place. You order a drink that fits your desert. AMAAAAAZIN

ATTENTION TOURISTS!!! . We looked over the menu, the menu is very well written, and made, Nice binding, and cool LED lights behind the translucent material the menu items are written on. It lights up and makes it possible to see and read in the darkness. Very nice touch! Even their website rocks....Whats that sound when the oldschool record needles would scratch off the player?...plug that sound bite in right here! The place is Very dark! If you think 7 Fish is dark, this place is even darker. But that is completely encouraged, specially when expecting to make the parallel of amazing desert with great sexual experience, rather...Better Than Sex. You can go along many themes when you're about to have dessert, as long as it delivers....So lets get at it! So we saw three desserts we liked/ red velvet cake, Cookie Nookie, and KeyLime cheesecake. We read the description, discussed with the waitress and went for the Cookie Nookie. It was described with a nice hard crust with so many nice words with play on sexuality....Here it is... _______________ Quote from the menu: "You'll be sure to get some nookie when you spoon up this sweetie. Imagine the inside of a warm chocolate chip cookie being wrapped in a fluffy blanket of flakey pie crust. Inside you'll find bits of chocolate, pecans and ooey gooey goodness. Served with a vanilla bean ball." ________________ Reality: This was an VERY sweet/sugary cookie/cake and all else was soft. The crust was no where to taste and find, as it had become part of the cookie as one. Maybe it was sitting in a refrigerator? Flavorwise, it offered nothing else. I also ordered a coffee with semi sweet chocolate on rim. She said to try it with Kalua, I did, but, that didn't enhance the flavor when you're looking for a good coffee (This is not a bar atmosphere for ordering multiple drinks). I could see a White or Black Russian tasting good, but this didn't work. So I enjoyed the rest of my coffee without, and it was fine. This is all Better Than Sex does ...deserts! Each at a price around $12+...(See menu images). So you expect some good stuff....you got about 6 or so choices to make it easy on the chefs in the back so they don't mess things up.... They should all be very good to amazing, right?.... Wooowank, wooank, woonk.. Nope! Cooki(comes with a scoops of ice cream, and the plate looks fine with some drizzle decor. (see picture I posted) $30 for a cookie/scoop of vanilla and drizzle caramel, and coffee....Hmmm. I felt ripped off. They are the same quality you get from Denny's( Carrow's might be better!) They just taste sweet, not of any quality ingredient to justify the price. Even the ice cream was just ok. It tastes like any random gallon you would buy from the market. But don't expect a premium ice cream like haagen daz or 31 flavors from the parlor. We had better quality ice cream at Bahia Honda Dive rental shop. Trader Joe's has better ice cream. (They might consider either as a supplier). ( FYI: You all readers do know that the one in the 31Flavors icecream PARLOR is a very different formula than the one they sell at the markets? Well now you know. The one at the parlors is of higher quality). You learned it here on YELP! Sorry but they were on par with a cafe diner. I am not saying this to discourage people from having a desert here. I say it as the ingredients used is equal to what you would get at anyplace. Not that there is anything wrong with that! But at the asking price? ...about $30 for 1 desert and 1 drink. You might fool someone once, ...well This IS the tourist MECCA, so they have plenty opportunity for the one time visitors. Side Note: I think the concept is great. They just lack quality ingredients and likely proper preparation. The theme is great and all, but if it doesn't deliver, then whats the point? If you don't mind spending $30 just to see the place I say go for it. But you're looking for anything beyond any diner or cafe, I couldn't recommend it. If your just trying to satisfy your sweet tooth.... many places have VERY GOOD Keylime pies that will serve your taste buds much better. Great home made keylimepie at the HogFish Bar&Grill. Square Grouper had one almost as good. Do yoruself a favor... for lunch or dinner, Square Grouper was very good. Hogfish sliders were great as were other things! See my reviews!

Split a Peanut Butter Perversion with my wife. I do not deny that it was a tasty dessert but was not as impressed as I thought I may be. Very dark environment inside - but not too dark for our whole party to realize that a group of girls were seated behind us that all looked like they were about 12 yo. We overheard them say that one of their mothers made the reservation for them. Not sure if I would return back next time I am in KW, but there's no denying the risque & unique theme that is served along with the dessert.

This was my third visit to B T S, but the first for my date. I recommend reservations, because this is a small restaurant, and the demand is huge. The restaurant is done in a tasteful bordello theme, if you can imagine, and the largest table can only accommodate five, so this place is for couples and small groups only. The dessert offerings are diverse and tantalizing, and every dessert I have tried here has been absolutely luscious! Last night, I had a chocolate cake and ice cream offering, but it was much more than just that. It contained a multitude of textures and chocolate flavors, and was out of this world. Although I pride myself as being an attentive dinner partner, my dessert was so amazing that I cannot remember what Cara ordered. What I do recall is how delighted she was with it. We also ordered beverages, which came in chocolate dipped vessels, which was a real treat for both the eye and the palette. As in the past, last night's experience was fun, delicious, and a wonderful respite from the ordinary. You will be doing yourself a disservice if your trip to Key West does not include a visit to this wonderful place!

Came for dessert with some friends. yes, five dudes did come here for dessert. Ambiance is really really cool. I ordered the Peanut Butter Perversion and it was fantastic. Ordered the Goo Goo also and thought it was okay. Got to taste some of my friends' desserts. The chocolate grilled cheese was okay, the cookie nookie was pretty good, and the red velvet cheesecake was very good. Our server was great. Prices are kind of expensive for dessert, but I think they are worth it. Would definitely recommend and will come back.

WOOOOOOO this place was absolutely amazingggggg....one of the best dessert places hands down and probably one of the most unique desserts I have...its a small dinky place located at the corner of a resident street and once you walk it, the atmosphere was dark and romantic...a perfect place to take your date too...we ordered sparkling red wine with white chocolate rim and this combination was simply to die for....we also got the chocolate grilled cheese and if it weren't for eating dinner b4 I would have ordered another to go!!!!! just thinking about that warm chocolaty grilled cheese is making me droolllllllllllll like homer simpson

Alright...you know what they say, sex is like pizza, even a bad slice is good. I was not up for a one night stand so I actually came here TWICE during my short stay in Key West. I lucked out both times as I did not have reservations and they do fill up VERY quickly. The environment is very intimate. As you walk in you are handed a flashlight which is meant to aid you in seeing the menu and some sort of fun game that is on your table. The desserts are very good and unique as well. Keep in mind this is NOT intended for large groups. In fact you must call ahead for a party of six and they prefer groups of 4 or less. This ensures that the atmosphere is preserved. Also, parking can be a bit of a pain...oh wait your are in Key West so get use to it. If you keep going down the alley way there seems to be better parking options (AND DON'T even THINK about parking in that dirt lot across the street...even if you are on one of those zippy little scooters. It is permit parking and you will be ticketed and towed). It is worth the effort and I would absolutely go back.

Stumbled upon this while riding around town on our bikes. We have never been to a place that only serves desserts (unless you count beer as a dessert...then many bars would fall into this category...but I digress). After having a 20 min. wait, we were seated in a booth. The place is dimly lit, so a flash light is provided, but the iPad with the menu on it provides plenty of light. The staff were very attentive and said cute things to us, like "love-birds" and "deliciousness." Everything from the decor, ambiance, menu descriptions, and interactions with the staff create a provocative atmosphere that is a bunch of fun. You basically want to start making out right there at the table...luckily it is dark;) Dessert was great. The dessert drinks are really good. Tables are made to sit 4 or less. Reservations are taken over the phone.

I love the name, I love the concept, I love the execution. This is a very romantic place to take your special someone. Drinks and Deserts in a wonderful dark and cozy room. You feel special when you come in here. The deserts are to die for, whether they live up to the billing is for you to decide.

I walked by this place and thought it was some kinky sex shop, until being the crazy yelper I am found it got a 4.5 review. Of course I had to try it and I'm so glad I did. Walking in you know to expect some craziness. That being said, I was surprised to find that it was tasteful and classy, with very dim lighting so it felt intimate and fun. I LOVED the "question" cards on the table- it provided some very interesting tipsy entertainment for my boyfriend and me, as did the hysterical menu. Although the chocolate rimmed wine glasses were a bit sweet, it was fun to nurse them so the chocolate wasn't overpowering. I ordered the special "The Shocker" which was a chipotle sauce and white chocolate rimmed glass of smoky red wine, which was the perfect combination for the sweeter chocolate. We also ordered the Jungle Fever chocolate cake dessert and it was amazing even though I was insanely full. This place was really inventive and cool and made me wish all restaurants had those fun question cards to keep conversations interesting. Well done!

WOW! What can you say about a place that totally blows your socks off? We had walked by this place everyday of our visit, but just never felt like dessert at the times we were there. Until the last night of our stay, and boy, am I glad we indulged! Indulgence is their middle name. From the second we stepped into the dimly lit foyer, we knew this was going to be something special. The delightful hostess asked if we had reservations (which we did not), and it never even occurred to me to make them. No problem. The hostess said that, although there were no reservations remaining for the rest of the evening, she would take our cell phone number and text us when a table opened. I was thoroughly impressed with that, but before we could even step back out the door, she stopped us and said she was able to shuffle a couple things around and seat us right away. Excellent customer service that was above and beyond! Keep in mind a couple of things about this unique experience -- it is DESSERTS only and they only do tables of 2 or 4 -- no large groups. It is very dark, intimate and sexy so it is a great place to relax and savor. The next thing that impressed me is that they brought you to your table and gave you your very own flashlight! This may sound silly, but I have been in numerous dimly lit restaurants and they look at you like you are crazy if you ask for a flashlight just to read the menu. Forgive me and my middle-aged eyes! Anyway, you don't need a flashlight to read the menu because they are all electronic on i-Pads! How cool is that? With a swipe of your finger, you can view desserts, coffees, and drinks. A touch on each photo shows you a full description of each item. It is a wonderful use of current technology. The server was wonderful and friendly. She went over everything with us and answered any questions very skillfully. We haven't even gotten to the food yet! I had regular coffee with a shot of housemade kahlua. It is a wonderfully spiced coffee with great flavor and the kahlua shot made it extra special. The hubby had a virgin ginger ale that came with a caramel-rimmed glass. The caramel sauce was TDF! (to die for!) For my dessert, I had the Better Than Sex - a dense chocolate and cherry bread pudding with white chocolate mousse. The hubby had the Banana Bazooka which was layers of fresh banana slices, pastry creme and mousse. It also came with the caramel sauce that was on the rim of his glass. To stay with their sex theme -- the caramel was orgasmic! In spite of all this gushing, there were a couple of minor quibbles. The bread in my bread pudding was pumpernickel. I thought it was an interesting choice in terms of flavor, but it made the dessert dense and chewy. Not exactly what you expect when you are accustomed to bread pudding made with challah, french bread, etc. Not bad -- just different for my palate. The Banana Bazooka was very chilled -- like it had just been pulled out of the refrigerator, and I think it would have benefited from standing at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. I know that is a challenge with the cream filling, but some things taste better when they have a chance to temper. Also, the crepes were slightly tough and chewy. Overall, I cannot think of a better way to end a romantic dinner, or a perfect vacation. A wonderfully unique concept with excellent execution and service!

This may be my favorite restaurant of all time! But then again, I AM a chocolate addict. This place only serves desserts, as well as dessert drinks. Their speciality is giving your beer or wine glass a "rim job" which is a chocolate covered rim. I had the strawberry beer (Fruili) with the rim job and it was great. All the desserts and drinks all have sexually themed names which is very amusing to read. In fact, all the drinks are named after people who work there (ex: Mandy's Man Candy...Mandy was the hostess). As for the best desserts, well the thing that was pure heaven for me was the chocolate grilled cheese. Amazing! We also ordered the red velvet cheesecake and the better than sex signature dessert, which were both delicious. I love the atmosphere here. The only lighting in the place comes from candles. It's so dimly lit, in fact, that the waitresses give you little flashlights for the menus! Overall, it's a very romantic and sensual place perfect for dates and/or chocolateholics.

We loved this place the first time we went. It was phenomenal, an experience to remember. When we returned to Key West, this was one of the things we were looking most forward to. We were disappointed. Better Than Sex recently (I believe the waitress said August or October 2012, don't remember which) moved to a larger location set between two moped rental/repair shops. Now they have more room for people to enjoy some tasty desserts and that's great; I'm glad their business is doing so well. Much to our disappointment, however, sometimes you just shouldn't mess with perfection, regardless of the bottom line. They moved and expanded and in the process, they lost the essence of what made them great. Better Than Sex is no longer an experience with intangible qualities making it unforgettable. Now it is a dessert restaurant, just like the sign says. It is too efficient, impersonal, friendly but lacking sexuality. The food is still wonderful, but ultimately the larger location loses the intimacy. There was something sexy about that cramped old location. Now, with room to breathe, higher ceilings which echo the voices around you so loudly that it becomes reminiscent of a sports bar. Yeah, it does. The waitress was very nice, and very efficient. She's perfect for Chili's, and not right for this restaurant. We were in and out within 45 minutes. Where is the relaxation? Where is the sensuality? Gone without a trace. But there is good news, Better Than Sex. I hope you read this because I want my old restaurant back, and I think I can help. You have two rooms in your new location. That's great, we can work with that. Here it is: make them two absolutely separate rooms, with a swinging door and all. In the front, place the large groups of friends who are giggling like children at the innuendo-filled menu. The back room becomes the focus of couples looking for the quiet, slow, intimate experience that put you on the map. The Righteous Brothers said it best, Bring back that lovin' feeling 'Cause it's gone, gone, gone, and I can't go on, No. And we won't be back until they get back to their roots.

Stopped here after a night of drinks and great food. Heard you needed reservations but they were more than accommodating to get us in. Quiet romantic and dark, all the desserts were easily displayed on iPad format and was a great experience. The Twist and Stout was my fav and my wife had the staple, Better than Sex. Amazing experience. Must go here when in town.

If you are a fan of red velvet anything, then you have to get "Between My Red Velvet Sheets" Cheesecake. Hands down, THE BEST CHEESECAKE I'VE EVER HAD! It was light and airy with great red velvet taste and was not cakey at all. Their drinks will have you licking (literally) your glass as all of the drinks are rimmed with some type of delicious chocolate. Amazing drinks and desserts in an intimate, adult environment...what more could you ask for?!

Katherine L.

Very unique place, we really enjoyed it. It is pretty dark inside so you are lead to your table with a flashlight, the menus are backlit. I had the peanut butter perversion and it was absolutely heavenly... the drink menu is extensive, a lot of nice wine choices. You can get your wine glass dipped in white, dark, or milk chocolate, or caramel, so everyone was sitting around the table licking their glass, it was great. Make sure to make a reservation, the place is pretty small, seating is limited.

We finally tried this place one night BEFORE dinner since we've always been meaning to try it and could never fit it in after dinner. I had a delicious wine with a chocolate coated wine glass. YUM! My husband and I split the Better than Sex dessert. It was very good. This is an interesting concept restaurant. We played a card game that we found on another table. It would have been nice if our server told us there were card games and other games to play. We only started playing after seeing another table do so. I can see how this place would be fun for a bachelorette party or date night, but for some reason, I don't think it "works" in a place like Key West. Maybe the location? If it were closer to a theater or fun restaurant, but it's on the corner of Truman and Simonton...It didn't have the "feel" I was looking for. This could also be due to going there BEFORE dinner.

Even better the next time. The rimmed wine is so delicious. I also ended the night with an irish coffee rimmed with white chocolate. Wow, I just died and went to heaven. This place is a must visit if you are in Key West!!

If you are ever in Key West and need some chocolate or fun drinks... this is the place! I really cant express how much I love this restaurant. Anytime I'm in town I make a point of stopping by now. Must try!!

Make a reservation people this place is VIP as in very important. If your in Key West with friends or on a hot first date you should stop in and score points with your significant other or a small group of friends. Fun fact: They don't seat parties of more than 4. They have two sides of this intimate restaurant and they don't sit both sides at the same time. Take my word for it. Amazing ambiance and the sweet treats are to die for. Although you might be so full you won't want to have sex. Make sure to get a rim job :) Read the menu.....gesh dirty mind!

Nikki A.

What a delicious way to set the tone for a passionate night! Lighting is very dim (menus light up!), waitresses speak in innuendo, and even the drinks come with "rim jobs" (rims dipped in chocolate or caramel) XD ha! IMy boyfriend and I indulged in rich desserts and decadent, chocolate dipped drinks. So yummy and romantic. This is a must do for a couple if you're visiting Key West! Try the chocolate grilled cheese!

My husband & I visited with another couple on Friday, 3/4/11. This place is so cool, quaint, intimate & romantic. Dark restaurant, lit only by candlelight, background music was a solo acoustic guitar/singer. It was a great way to wind down from a busy, fun day. I had the Kelly's Climax - which was a white chocolate dipped glass of a sparkling red...thought it was fantastic. My friend has the Caramel Over Me - which was a caramel dipped glass of moscato. Even our husbands thought the coffee was tasty. The only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5: My husband had his heart set on the Peanut Butter Perversion - the best Peanut Butter Pie I have ever had! He was swayed to the last Bozooka left, which was banannas/tortillas, sour cream. Not the best choice. We should have not strayed from a known winner! Can't wait to come back next year!

Lekecia U.

This place was indeed not better than sex. My BF and I got a couple of Peanut Butter Perversions to go since I had had a few too many glasses of champagne and needed to go nighty night. The slices were huge but way too much peanut butter and not enough chocolate or crust.
(2)
Rachel S.

Awesome! A totally original idea, especially the "rim jobs"- their signature drinks, and pulled off perfectly with suave servers, an extremely intimate setting-conversation starters on the table, and humor in the air. We're somewhat sticklers for good service, and everyone was just wonderful. One of our favorite things on our trip for sure!

Better Than Sex does not live up to it's name . . . fortunately for me! We came here after passing by it while on vacation in Key West, as it piqued our interest for obvious reasons. My husband had the signature dessert, Better Than Sex, and he was very ambivalent - this from the man who is a dessert fiend and connoisseur! I was equally ambivalent about the "Mission Crisp", which was a take on apple pie. Our waitress talked it up, but I found it boring, bland, and dry. On top of everything, our dessert bill totaled $30+ for TWO DESSERTS only and I didn't feel like we got what we paid for - very disappointing! Perhaps we caught them on an off day? On the flip side, the ambiance was great, the menu is fun and cheeky, they had some interesting table games, and it seems to be fun place for groups and/or a romantic evening . . . if you don't mind dropping $12+ for a mediocre dessert. They had some live music when we were there, which was rather pleasant and not overwhelming. The service was good, and it is a fun place to go - but only once!

Wow, that was good. I just have to clean up a bit. :-) Executive summary: it aint cheap, but it sure is gooooooooood! No parking, so don't even think about driving here. Dark, but they provide flashlights. Perfect for couples. Go hungry! Actually, I made a huge mistake by going to Better Than Sex shortly after dinner. This place is not kidding around when they say you should have dessert for dinner. I was so full of wine and dinner that I could not truly enjoy this amazing place. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a Sunday night so the crowds were muted and we did not need a reservation, but I was very surprised at how crowded they were, considering. I started off with the "choco cab", a glass of cabernet rimmed with luscious chocolate. I would never have thought that those two flavors would complement each other, but they do so very well indeed. I looked like that kid from the old M&M commercials who had chocolate all over his mouth from eating a candy bar, hence the need to clean up. (What were you thinking?) I got the Karezza Key Lime pie which has a macadamia nut crust. Very light, delicate flavored mousse pie in a nice crunchy satisfying crust. I couldn't finish it, but definitely took it in a box back to the room for later enjoyment. No friggin way I let that go to waste. A gentleman with a very good voice serenaded us with musical selections. The waiter was attentive and prompt. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was that the place has just a touch of pretentiousness about it, over and above the fact that it is named Better Than Sex. I understand that they have to make a buck, but I did feel a but rushed to relinquish the seat while I was clearly not finished and there were several other tables available by that time. This is the kind of place that invites a long, languishing time enjoying culinary delights that are not to be rushed. Also, while it is dark, it is not so dark that the menus can not be read. They do provide you miniature flashlights to read the menus anyway. NOTE: There is precisely ZERO PARKING close to Better Than Sex, so walk, take a bicycle, a pedi-cab, or a motor taxi to get there or you will waste your night hunting around in vain for parking. I will most definitely return here when my stomach is not so full.

I love the ambience here. Live jazz music, question card game to play, specialty desserts, and friendly waitress. I got their signature dessert. It is sweet of them to put a Happy Anniversary sign on the cake.

On our way to Blue Heaven, we passed by this place. Well, the name of the place definitely caught our attention. The menu is fun and a lot to choose from. My wife ordered the red velvet cheese cake and I ordered "the seven itch" which consisted of chocolate, pinot noir, and pepper ice-cream and a slice of amaretto cake. The cheesecake was silky smooth and not too sweet. My ice-cream was very yummy, too. Portions are huge and you can definitely order just one to share. Overall, it was fun and a great way to finish the night. The dessert not quite as good as sex, but very close. Cheers

Rude and inflexible. Had reservations and called to inform then hostess (Mandy) that we were going to be 10-15 mins behind due to a tour delay and we were told that would not work for them and we were told to pound sand. I don't care how good the food might have been customer service trumps everything and we'll take our business and hard earned money someplace where they care about the customer.

Not to be missed. This dessert only restaurant is quite fun, yet romantic. My suggestion would be to eat lightly before your reservation because the desserts are amazing. My husband loved his key lime pie and my Better than Sex dessert was...well you decide. Not for young kids and a reservation is a must. Someone was quite clever in opening this desserts only place!

Todd P.

Ummmm, I'm not saying whether it really was. Better Than Sex, that is. But for you chocolate fans out there, I'd say it's pretty damn close. This place is a lot of fun, with no shortage of innuendo in the naming of their desserts and specialty drinks. Allow me to enlighten you with a couple: "Missionary Crisp." Okay...one wonders if this is the most boring, common, but reliable dessert on the menu. Or how about, "Tongue Bath Truffle." Lickety-lick. I sampled a few bites of the Peanut Butter Perversion, a peanut butter silk pie with a chocolate chip cookie crust; and the Jungle Fever, and I quote, "A warm, chocolate-brownie body oozing a dark pudding, rubbing up against cool, white bean vanilla balls." I believe they're referring to ice cream in that description. Haha! Both of these desserts were of course rich as hell and incredibly delicious. But I just had a bite or two of each, so no Big Chocolatey O for me. I did enjoy a specialty drink called "Kelly's Climax" -- a champagne flute with the top dipped in white chocolate and then filled with a sparkling red wine. Several others in our group had the Chocolate Cab -- a similar presentation but with dark chocolate and a Cabernet Savignon. Cigarette anyone?

Elizabeth H.

Fantastic, unforgettable experience. This place is not afraid to be bold. Really, it was more silly than romantic to me with the sexy playing cards and the too dim lighting and innuendo filled menu, but that made it all the more fun. Loved the gluten free chocolate cake and amazing raspberry sorbet!
(5)
Jamie C.

This place is located off the main strip sorta hidden amongst some residential buildings. Agree with Todd P on the innuendos, the presentation also contributes mildly on certain desserts....they were great!! They're very creative and their drink special of the evening is referred to as the 'one night stand'. Our waitress could not have been any cooler and she said she's usually the hostess, I forgot her name, but she described all the details of the desserts and recommended her favs which turned out to be deeeeeelish!

If you are into dessert this is a must visit place. I ordered "Better than sex" it was one of the best chocolate dessert. The quantity and the taste match the price. Make sure to make reservation way in advance. Absolutely perfect for romantic evening.

"Kinky Key Lime Pie" was fantastically declicious. Got our order to go, so I can't comment on service, but ambience (while we were waiting for our order) was definitely sexy and cool. Will go back on my next visit to KW and eat there instead of getting it to go. Wonderful!!

Adam U.

Wow...simply amazing. Perfect for couples. Food - I had the creme brule beer with a side of creme brule. Both were awesome. The beer glass had been dipped in white chocolate and had sugar around the rim. They were both fantastic. The restaurant is owned by a husband/wife couple. The husband runs the front of house and the wife is the chef. She came out personally after my Creme Burle arrived and showed me the chef recommended way of eating it. Simply awesome. She later came back and took the time (roughly 15-20 min) to just chat with my wife and I about how she started the business and basically anything else we wanted to know. You can tell that each piece of food is made with passion (and time!). The red velvet cheesecake my wife had, takes 9 hours to prepare! You can't go wrong with this place. Save up, go hungry, and enjoy!

I booked an early dessert for dinner reservation for a bachelorette party. It is tiny so, in order to accomadate seven people we had to be early. Immediately, I was impressed with the service. The wait staff really plays up the double entendre of the menu. It is really dim, which helps the ambiance. Our group was tired from the night before, but the table games provided helped get conversations started. I had the apple lambic with the caramel coated glass, which was a great idea for a drink. I'm allergic to chocolate, so I did not have many options on the menu. My fellow bachelorettes really enjoyed the wine and chocolate drinks. Since I have the chocolate allergy, I went with Team Cream, which was a custard dessert with shortbread on the side. It was great, but not up to a Parisian pastry. I also ordered the Voomish Violette, which was violet ice cream imported from France. I loved this ice cream! I would go to Better than Sex just for this ice cream. At Lauduree in Paris, I had the most amazing violet pastry and this ice cream brought me back to Paris. The staff really made our night special by making the Bride-to-Be's dessert with a special note and a candle.

They should change their name to "Similar To Sex with a Hooker", because they want you in and out fast. My girlfriend and I went there this past Sunday night at 9 PM, the concept of the place was very interesting, the dessert was good.. BUT we felt rushed, we were still eating our desserts when the waitress handed us the check (which we did not ask for) and said "No rush, take your time". Yet not even 2 minutes later came by to pick up the check (which I haven't even thought about paying) as we were still trying to enjoy our dessert. Another 2 minutes go by another waitress comes by to take the check (which again I haven't even thought about paying).. After the 2nd time I got the hint that they wanted our butts out of there. So we packed up the rest of our dessert and paid the bill. I saw them do this to another couple the table next to us. I guess when they said "we want your experience to be enjoyable" that just means order your dessert and get the hell out.

Morgan K.

Good atmosphere: lots of candles, romantic chandeliers, and mellow music. The desserts...not great, and the service did not help. All the desserts, we tried, 3 of them, were super super sweet, and had many different flavors going on, not all complimentary. I believe you can make a wonderful dessert without it all being about sugar. This is a dessert restaurant, how about some fresh fruit?? Maybe with homemade whipped cream. All the desserts came with this white fluffy foam that had no flavor and did not add to the experience. Our server spoke so quickly that we could not understand her, and listening to other customers they could not either. Everyone had to ask her to repeat herself. And still she needed to slow down. She brought us the wrong dessert, which is why we wound up trying 3, then told us it was ok, she would pay for it. Should I feel badly that she was moving to quickly to actually listen to what I ordered? No. I will not be back here, not when so many other restaurants have wonderful desserts and its not even their specialty. I spent as much money for dessert as I did for a full dinner, and it was not nearly as satisfying.

Denisse M.

Dear God , let's just say I am glad this place is not in my town. I feel like they design this restaurant with me in mind, This is my kind of place. I was so, so happy to eat here... OK so! enough drooling, let me tell you this is a dessert only restaurant, and not just any dessert like cheese cake, key lime pie, this are very delicious, complex, well thought out desserts, created by a very talented pastry chef. The decor is very romantic, sensual, is very dark, so much that they provide you with a flash light so you can read your menu, candles everywhere. They have a bar but only serve wine and beer, but even some of the drinks are desserts. Honestly more than five stars I would give this place one hundred. Don't bring kids or very big groups, is small and intimate. the prices? who cares... everything is freaking delicious. can't wait to go back.

Adrienne B.

This place is truly unique. I called at 6 pm for 8:30 reservation on a Thursday night and had no trouble getting a reservation. You are greeted by the owner who is also the chef. Service is great and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. Go hungry...the dessert servings are enormous. Everything is sex-themed and reading the menu half of the fun. We tried the creme brulee (the name escapes me at this time) served with homemade shortbread cookies and almond whipped cream. Yum!

Denisee G.

After reading a few good reviews about this place, we couldn't leave Key West without trying it out. It was a great experience! I loved the names of the drinks and desserts, t Everything tasted wonderful, and the service was great. I had the Kelly's Climax which was a moscato in a glass rimmed with white chocolate. Then I had "jungle fever" as my main dish: chocolate molten cake with vanilla "balls":-) ver fun place! We had a great time! Go hungry because the desserts are big!

If I could give this place a million stars I would! I've never been to a restaurant dedicated completely to desserts, and I wish more of these existed. It was just my luck that the day we arrived to the Keys was the last day the restaurant would be open before its week of hiatus due to a move to a bigger location they were making. They managed to fit us into a last minute reservation and our group of four ordered 4 different "rimmed" drinks and 4 different desserts. I personally had the red velvet cheesecake which was phenominal! My drink was a sparkling moscato with a white chocolate rimmed glass which I chugged! Everything was so good that it didn't bother me at all to have spent so much money on only dessert. I actually didn't even realize how much we spent until later that evening when we all got hungry and were ready for an actual meal. I highly recommend a trip here you will not regret it at all its worth every single calorie!

Went there twice. The first time I had Kelly climax, which was pretty good. The second time I asked for a non-alcoholic drink ( since we were expecting) and the only option they had, besides coke etc was some sort of pomegranate-juice based cocktail. Not impressed. My husband had 2 glasses choco-raspberry wine on the ice and some caramelish liquor. Both were pretty good. The desserts - better than sex and sugar daddy cheesecake - were fresh and yummy, however, nothing is better than sex :)

What a great way to end an evening!! After eating a great dinner at Louie's Backyard, we headed out to this dessert restaurant that was highly recommended by Garbo's Grill owner, which was also a fabulous find on this mini-vacation. It had such a quaint and romantic atmosphere and the desserts were out of control!!! We called to make reservations and they were completely booked. We decided to wing it, and thank God luck was on our side and we were able to be seated at the bar. The bartender was super nice and friendly and the four desserts that our party of four ordered were amazing: Better than Sex, Between my Red Velvet Sheets, Team Cream, and Cookie Nookie. Definitely call to make reservations the next time you go to Key West!!!!!!!

Better than sex if you can't have sex at that time...We came here for desert while on honeymoon in Key West. It was soooo worth it. Deserts were innovative and creative. You eat desert in the almost dark and it wakes up all your senses. The waiters take orders with flashlights and provide you with flashlights as well. There are little cute table games on the table to get the conversation started. Locals come in to perform. I am craving it right now!

I am from Miami and visit Key west often and I never leave without visiting this cute little restaurant off Duval St. It's small, dark and romantic but also lot's of fun to go with friends. I usually order the chocolate grilled cheese sandwich! It is amazing but they only have it on specials. So if it's on the menu ORDER IT! Don't park in the little parking lot in front they toll cars all the time from there. I can't wait to go back to Key west and visit my favorite spot! I love this place!

This is one of the most amazing dessert places I have ever been to! I went here while on spring break with my friends, and everything we ordered was absolutely phenomenal! I had the Peanut Butter Perversion, which was a silky peanut butter pie on top of a chocolate chip cookie crust. Oh my goodness... can you say unbelievable?! The peanut butter pie was creamy and melted in my mouth. It was remarkable how the peanut butter was not overwhelming, which is difficult to avoid when making peanut butter desserts. The chocolate chip cookie crust was a tender cookie that enhanced the peanut butter pie. Two of my friends got the Missionary Crisp, which they loved. One of my friends got the Tongue Bath Truffle, which she thought was incredible. It looked very rich, but it is a chocolate lover's dream come true. My other friend got the Cookie Nookie Pie, which I tried a bite of. Delicious! Two of my friends got the choco-milk to drink, which is a large glass of milk that is rimmed in and has chocolate covering the sides. The atmosphere is really interesting and very sexy. The lights are so low that you have to use mini flashlights that are strategically placed on the tables to read the enticing names of the desserts on the menu. On each table, there is a "game" for while you wait including sexual trivia cards- lots of fun with your girls! The service receives an A+ because everything came out promptly and perfectly. This is a MUST GO TO place when in Key West!!!!!!!

Great romantic place. It's run by a husband and wife. It is dessert only. There are dessert drinks as well as very well portioned desserts. I had the "One Night Stand" (special of the evening) which was the grilled cheese and "tomato soup". It was a dark chocolate with brie on a buttermilk bread (not 100% on the bread), dusted with powdered sugar. It was served with a berry proseco soup. Amazing dessert. I also had the Kelly's Klimax, white chocolate dipped glass of red sparkling moscato and Michelle's Multiple which was a cream infused red wine with chocolate in the drink in a dark chocolate rimmed glass. Both were good, but the latter was very rich. Our waitress Michelle (who's concoction I ordered, hehe) was great - very knowledgeable of the menu and suggested most of what we ordered. I'm glad I tried it!

We walk in craving dessert and think, "Oh great, another dive gay bar".... that smells like chocolate? There are no lights and only candles on the tables, along with a large dildo on the bar. The host uses a flashlight to guide us to a seat. The waiter starts out with saying they have the "best rim jobs in town" and repeats this loudly at least 5 times. I quickly order before I hear him announce the specials again and within 10 minutes, dessert is served. The wife got some peanut butter crunch deal and I went with a classic hot fudge Sunday thing. Why was I eating it in the dark? Delicious but overpriced. Better than sex? If anybody answers yes, you're doing it wrong.

OK, OK.... Better than sex... I am going limp just thinking about it... It in an interesting place for sure. The desserts do have naughty names, it didn't roll off my tongue to easily when a waiter is asking for my choice..if you know what I mean.....they are trying and nice but it reminds me of the 70's at a place down stairs in NY city smoking a blunt but the bad this was they didn't have music. Would I go back hmmmm no...

Food-5 Ambience-5 Parking-2.5 Beer/Wine-4.5 Service-4.5 CHOCOLATE! We weren't hungry, and the group complained they were too full as we had eaten snacks at 6 pm before sunset, and tapas at 9 pm. Somehow, however, we managed to stuff down three desserts for our party of four and waddled out. MAKE A RESERVATION. If you don't like chocolate, you might want to go elsewhere. If you get annoyed at issues such as very dim lighting and cozy, intimate tables, might want to simply eat dessert at the restaurant you are eating at tonight anyway. But if you want blow your mind, Belgian dark chocolate inspired desserts that will curl your toes, look no further. My poor wife and daughter are working out as I write this even though they are so full because I took them over the top with this place. You will feel guilty for the pleasure, but let go of this and indulge! Red velvet cheesecake for my daughter, tongue bath truffle for my wife and mother, and I had to have jungle fever. I had a chocolate rimmed glass of milk as well. Is it truly "Better?" Pretty darn close

M S.

We got our desserts to go (just ate dinner and too full to have dessert jus then). My wife got the better than sex and I got the kinky key lime pie. Both were delicious. We liked the atmosphere of the restaurant so we will go back later this week and eat in. Highly recommended.

Diana P.

We had the red velvet cheesecake and the missionary crisp. Both out standing. Make sure you make a reservation the place was packed and could not accommodate most walk ins.

My wife and I read about this place on yelp and decided to check it out. Its a fun place to go for dessert, and/or a "cheap" date (less expensive than a fancy restaurant). You do need to make a reservation, or you will wait a while. Their menu consists of desserts and drinks with suggestive names; besides the names, the desserts are actually very good. The beers come in a big tall glass, with the top 1/3 of the glass dipped in something like chocolate or caramel, depending on the type of the beer. I had a banana nut beer (it was british), never had that before. Each table has a book that asks the question "what if.." followed by some scenario (idea is to stimulate conversation with your partner). While its marketed as a romantic spot for couples, it would also work well for a 4-some (two couples).

I started my heavy Yelping career in Key West and my star rating ratio is heavy on the 5 stars thanks to Yelp. This restaurant, or should I say dessert cafe, is no exception. Hands down tied for first place in the best key lime pie category (Blue Heaven is the other #1). The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic date and the other desserts leave little to be desired as well. I won't ruin the place too much for you but I recommend either ordering or taking home the Kinky Key Lime pie and the Violet Violla (spellcheck) ice cream. Orgasmic desserts and atmosphere all around
(5)
nunzio p.

Came here three times on my five night stay in key west. It was kind of expensive but worth it. I had the espresso beer two nights and white moscato wine dipped in Carmel that was very good my wife had choco cab all three nights she said it was the best. For dessert we had the key lime pies that was very good the banana that was very vey good and the red velvet cheese cake that was kind of dry sorry to say but I would still recommend this place highly. Oh yes the waitresses are great!!

Natalie W.

I've never done this before, but I'm knocking significant stars off for their prices. How I ended up paying $22 (including tax and tip) for one glass of milk and one slice of cheesecake, which was delicious, btw, is beyond me. Well, it's not really beyond me since I did the ordering, but I just can't understand how anything but a 5 star restaurant get's away with charging $14 for a slice of cheesecake. Never, ever again. Also, the descriptions were so sexually oriented (duh) that I couldn't figure out what I was getting exactly because the descriptions were unclear. Tasted great, but kitchy and ridiculously expensive.

Divine desserts in sultry atmosphere. Because it is candlelit, they handed us a flashlight to read the menu and what a menu it is. We each had a "rim job" drink. My date had a porter with dark chocolate around the rim of the glass and I had an apple ale with caramel around the rim. Then the desserts showed up and they were beautiful enough to take a picture of (and even better to eat!) We had red velvet cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sorbet. Perfection!

Went here 2 consecutive nights - amazing Desserts !! "Jungle Fever" was the best :P 5 Stars to the "naughty" menu too :)

We ate a large lunch and skipped dinner in anticipation of pigging out here and it was worth it. The atmosphere is sexy without being raunchy, with dim lighting and flashlights provided. We each had a "signature drink" where the rim is lined with sugar and chocolate (ie a "rim job")- I highly recommend the "Sex Appeal" champagne cocktail. We each got a dessert to split. The chocolate and brie grilled cheese was the clear favorite and was presented very stylishly. It is paired with a strawberry puree that really compliments the sweet and savory flavors. The "cookie nookie pie" was just so-so- a little too rich and I could have done without the pecans. We made a reservation and service was prompt and friendly. The waitress shared that the owner loved the band on my husband's t-shirt (the Flaming Lips) which made us like the place even more. Although I hate chain restaurants, perhaps they would consider opening up a branch in Boston...I'm getting cravings again just writing this review.

Better Than Sex is a little over the top, but you just have to know that is what you are getting into when you walk through the door. Look at the menu online - it pretty much says it all. My hubby was mildly put off by how sugary the drinks were, but I dug it. We will go back next time we're in Key West.

Fan-@#!-in-tastic. A group of friends and I happened upon this place just off the beaten track and what a treat it was! This is strictly a dessert restaurant that has a dark red, candle-lit boudoir feel. The menu is creative, decadent and DEEEElicious. The seven of us each ordered something and we rotated the desserts to the left. The keylime pie was light and divine, the Better Than Sex chocolate bread pudding was dizzying, and the over-the-top insanity that had me reeling was the grilled, brie and dark chocolate sandwich served with strawberry soup. Honestly, it made me cry a little. The names of the offerings alone will make you need a cold shower. Go with your honey, your Mr. Right Now, or a group of friends. Top your yummies off with a glass of port rimmed in dark chocolate or a hard cider rimmed in caramel. Who needs entrees anyway?
(5)
Cathy W.

Loved it! Had a great time here with amazing desserts! Brie and chocolate grilled cheese sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, delish! Peanut butter pie with chocolate chip cookie dough crust, heaven! If I lived in Key West I would come here often...I'm gonna miss it!

ANDREW D.

Went here during Fantasy Fest, and it lived up to the hype!! Was told about the restaurant from the owner of the B&B I stayed at. It was an unbelievable experience! My date and I had wine with a chocolate rim! While waiting for our food, there are playing cards that you get to ask your partner personal questions, such as, do you fantasize during sex, who do you fantasize about? My date had the cookie nookie and I had their special pumpkin dessert. Trust me, go here the next time you are in Key West!

oh my god! this place was aaaawsome! there isnt a place like this one anywhere in south florida. im picky with my desserts. and not easily satisfied. ive tried many many dessert places and none come close. the drinks are amazing!!! desserts are delicious!!! experience out of this world. sever was absolutly great. this girls terminology describing the desserts was halarious. this is by far my new favorite places of all time! i signed up to yelp just to write this review. ive been waiting for a place like this down here for years

One week later and I am still dreaming of the Grilled Cheese. It was simply amazing. I loved that they used strawberry sauce in place of the tomato soup that comes with traditional grilled cheese - such a great touch. The whole experience was wonderful! We had the Emily's Entry Rim Job that was amazing for chocolate lovers. The special that night was a bread pudding that was also delish! However I highly recommend the grilled cheese and wouldn't have anything else if I return. Our waitress was excellent and really helped carry out the theme.

Angela O.

OMG- best dessert place in town for sure! Key lime was heaven, let me repeat-HEAVEN! I also had a porter beer with a chocolate rim. My friend had the creme brule and a chocolate rimmed glass of wine. The dark atmosphere is super sexy! We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender, Matthew and he was awesome, a total sweetheart. This place is definitely worth looking for!

Aly W.

The desserts are definitely not better than sex. Not even better than mediocre sex. But the stars are for the cocktails, presentation, and ambiance. My Jarka Yum Yum dry red wine blend with a Belgium chocolate rim was perfect for me as I do not like fruity wines. My brother wasn't a fan of his Cream in my Coffee. His fiancÃ© loved the her champagne cocktail but I found it too sweet. The Grilled Cheese was definitely the best dessert and the only one I would order again. The Better Than Sex cake, cookie nookie, and red velvet cheesecake were all good but nothing to rave about. Ambiance is awesome. Good date spot. Split a dessert together or just stick to the chocolate on your rims.

3.5 for sure, a quick search of dessert spots and Better than Sex showed up and we decided to go since it sounded very, well you know the name. The new wife and I made the walk down-we were staying near Mallory Square (the touristy area) after making a reservation for 2, with the note that it was a honeymoon. We were greeted pretty warmly and seated at a pretty cramped booth facing a wall. They definitely make use of all the space but it was like sitting on a subway bench, which was a little uncomfortable. We each got 'rimmed' glasses. The wife got the choco-cab which was a Cabernet with a semi-sweet chocolate rimmed around the glass. I got the Banana bread beer with caramel rimmed around it. While she really liked her pick I thought my 'Banana hammock' was okay, maybe a vanilla rim instead of caramel? We split the peanut butter perversion which was a peanut butter silk pie with a chocolate chip cookie crust. We liked it, and they even wrote Happy Honeymoon in chocolate for us, a nice touch. The dessert was good and our drinks were pretty good but the seating for us was a little odd and the double entendres for everything on the menu was a nice hook.

I would give 3.5 stars if it was available. Decor: 5 stars Theme: 5 stars Desert names: 5 stars Service: 3 stars, they usually are close on July 4th but they decided to open for a few hours this year which worked out for us since we are just visiting. We did not have reservations and we were able to be seated in 15 mins which was awesome. The owner was friendly but the waitress didn't seem to have much patience even though she "tried". After we got seated, we didn't get to order for another 10 minutes at least and the same thing with the check. It took a while for her to come back n Food and drinks (50% of overall rating): 3stars, they all look good but the taste...it was just average at best. The jungle fever didn't have that hot chocolate oozing out of the chocolate cake. The key lime pie...not even close to Kermit. And the drink, the idea was awesome but the taste...eh

Shannon S.

Ahhhhhhhh-mazing! Very sexy and romantic! Heard about this place and I am so glad we were able to get reservations! Very unique experience. It's dark inside and sets the perfect tone for romance. Each table / booth is kind of private which is nice. The staff was awesome! I ordered the key lime pie and OMG it was to die for!!!!! All of the drinks are amazing because the glass is dipped in chocolate - which makes everything taste amazing! Lol If you have a sweet tooth at all deff check this place out!

I loved the concept of this place. Ambiance, music and service were great. Got the morning after and better than sex paired with wine and beer (all with chocolate on the glasses). All tasted great but it gets too rich after a couple of bites... Will probably split next time. It's a must go in Key West. Make sure to call ahead to make reservations.
(5)
Carol M.

It's like I died in the middle of a wet dream and went to heaven, and ended up here. Not only do I have a big sweet tooth, I practically AM a big sweet tooth. From head to toe. So throw some fruity moscato into a caramel-dipped wine glass and I'm just delighted. My inner fat-kid is really ashamed that I hadn't already thought of this at home for Hormonal Haagen Daz Netflix Night. I digress... We also split the Tongue Bath Truffle. Best part = gluten free. Also the raspberry sorbet was the perfect balance of tart yet sweet. Man. I'm sad I'm not eating one of these right now. Highly recommended. It's a little off the beaten path but that makes it seem even more taboo. I WANT IT!

Diva J.

We went to this place after a sunset cruise with unlimited drinks, so I was slightly tipsy when we arrived. We had made a reservation, so we were seated right away in a cozy dark booth. I had to use the restroom soon after, and I was surprised to see several candles placed all over. Not a good idea to be around that when you're tipsy. I managed to make it out safely We ordered the coffee with a rim job, the better than sex, and the morning after. All were delicious. The service is really good. I dropped my fork at one point and a waitress handed me a new one almost immediately after. It was almost as though she was waiting for me to drop it so she can hand me a new one. I was so surprised! :-D The atmosphere and ambience was enough for me to want to come back, but the desserts really did it. They are really good and you should definitely try it when you're in town

A MUST try if you are in Key West! At first, I was skeptical...a restaurant based only on dessert...but I was easily won over. The atmosphere is seductive, the drinks are heavenly and the desserts are amazing :)

Derek K.

Better? Really? My curiosity was piqued. It was 9pm, and yet there was still quite a wait brewing--a good sign. I put down my name and waited in anticipation. They will take your phone number and text you when your place comes, making for a sexy start. This continues throughout the experience, from the romantically candlelit black-walled interior, to the obviously intentionally provocative attitude of the waitresses. And then the sexiness continues with the menus, which are on iPads. Everyone gets their own iPad! This is actually very helpful when ordering, as you get to see full-sized pictures of each item. I passed on two of their most popular dishes: the Chocolate Grilled Cheese and Fork You Fondue, and obligatorily went for the Kinky Key Lime Pie. It came out as a thick wall of dense, lime-imbued cheesecake topped with nuts, with a side spoon of thick, candy-sweet caramel. It was good and plentiful (definitely enough for an amorous couple to share), but not as amazing as its popularity would imply. If you like your desserts sweet, and are not a stickler for delicateness, you won't be disappointed. The drinks and desserts are overpriced--if only they didn't spend all that overhead on the iPads!--but as far as late-night romantic desserteries, choices on this small island are admittedly limited. If it's past twilight hours (6PM - midnight) and you're looking for a spot to bring your significant other, you'll most likely have fun here. If you're looking for the best dessert in Key West (as I was--and note that I don't drink), I'd recommend sticking to one of the many spots offering straight up key lime pie. Bottom line: I've had better key lime pie. I've had better key lime pie for under $10. Oh, and I've had better sex.

Candace T.

My husband wasn't the biggest fan.. he felt it was overpriced for what it was and that the service wasn't good enough. I, on the other hand, LOVED it! You need to reserve in advance, so don't forget that.. but once you're there at reservation time it's great. The atmosphere is really nice, though I have to say some tables are definitely better than others... but hey, that's pretty standard anywhere, right? It's a dark, romantic atmosphere, that sets the mood with red walls and sheer drapery. I love the idea of a chocolate rimmed wine glass! Why I haven't tried this at home I'm not sure (maybe it's the idea of cleaning up the mess I'll inevitably make), but I keep thinking about it and can't wait to go back to Key West just for this. Have an early dinner, let your food baby settle and then head to Better Than Sex for drinks and dessert. Have a few desserts.. it's why you're there, after all!

I have seen this place many times but finally decided to stop in last night for my husbands birthday. When you walk in the door, it's dimly lit and beautiful. Sat in a private booth area under a chandelier. We were handed iPads and the waitress explained how to go through the menu. There was an extensive list of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages where the glasses were dipped in some sort of deliciousness. I chose a ginger ale and my glass was dipped in caramel. The flavor together were outstanding. It was hard to choose between all the delicious looking desserts but I chose the "better than sex" signature dessert. Let me just say, it was SPECTACULAR!!!! My husband chose a different dessert and I can't remember the name, but it was equally amazing!!! If your in Key West, don't miss out on this place! It will be put on my regular places to visit when in Ley West!

Curtis H.

Good-ness... What can I say about Better than Sex? My wife and I went in, not really sure what to expect. My wife thought that from looking from the outside, we were going into a seedy, sleaze factory. As we walked in, we saw that this couldn't be farther from the truth. It was exquisitely decorated with reds blacks and whites, the lighting was exclusively candlelight and lovely, sexy female and male art, very tastefully done. The hostess sat us and gave us each an iPad that acted as the menu. We decided to stake in their dark chocolate dipped glass with the "slip inside" Irish cream drink. It was very nice. I ordered the "Jungle Fever" and my wife had the "Twist and Stout." Mine was really good... But my wife's.... To die for! It was a moist deep chocolate cake with a chocolate beer stout frosting and glaze. I am not a beer fan... But WOW!! Perfection! It was also served with an Irish cream ice cream. It was named the 2014 top chef winner for s reason!! These guys would get six stars if they had a full bar.

We were in Key West for a bachelorette party and we've all been wanting to try Better Than Sex and I'm SO GLAD we did! We had a large party (8) and we were sure to make reservations a week ahead of time. We were seated at 6:30 in the back room. The Ambiance, the service and the dessert was top notch! I'm not much of a chocolate person-- but I couldn't help but try a little bit of everyone's dessert. It was so good!

Cassie G.

After a late and filling lunch in Key West, we weren't looking for a full blown dinner so a dessert restaurant sounded ideal. After having this place bookmarked for years, I was so excited to finally make it this time. Here's what we got: 1. Carly's Button - Paringa "sparkling" shiraz in a dark chocolate rimmed wine glass. These "rim job" wine drinks are what dreams are made of. Red wine and dark chocolate are a no-fail combination and BTS makes it simpler to enjoy the two together. 2. Chocolate Grilled Cheese - "Danish brie cheese & dark Belgian chocolate grilled on homestyle buttered bread kissed with cinnamon sugar. Served snuggled up against a shot of strawberry champagne soup." I'm still dreaming of this sandwich today. I'd suggest enjoying the soup separate from the sandwich to get the full cheesy, chocolately experience. I never thought of pairing dark chocolate and Brie and now it's All. I. Ever. Think. About. 3. Better Than Sex - The restaurant's namesake, this was a dark chocolate pumpernickel bread pudding with dark cherries, served with white chocolate mousse. This was as rich as it sounds and equally delicious. We left on a sugar high (in the best way possible). The service was great and super quick, as the desserts are seemingly ready to go. They even decorated our plate with "Happy Anniversary" since that's what we were celebrating! The dimly lit atmosphere of the place is truly romantic, but I could also see myself having fun here with some girlfriends. Word to the wise - they take reservations and on this Saturday night, we ended up walking into a wait of an hour. The good news it that they take your phone number and text you when your table is almost ready so it's easy to go and grab a drink on Duval Street while you wait.

Peter T.

Review based on take out dining experience only. Better than sex - 3.75 stars, they have two award winning items on list and they are better than sex and grilled cheese with Brie and chocolate. I opted for the better than sex which is half chocolaty bread pudding half silky brownie. It was pretty good but nothing I would order again, nor was it worth $10. If I had a lady at key west this might be a fun slightly kinky place to go. If I just want great dessert, I'll probably skip.

Felix P.

If you can find another place like this in the U.S., buy it...and make a fortune. The place is jammed and only serves desert. The selections are completely unique. Each one we tried was amazing. Brie pastry bites, sorbet, donut holes with a hot liquid cheesecake dip. Chocolate rimmed root beer float. Unbelievable.
(5)
Traci R.

I love everything about Better Than Sex. The ambiance, the decor, the menu, etc etc. I ordered The Klimax which was delicious! Red sparkling wine with a glass glazed in white chocolate. Such a good pairing. We then ordered: the Adult Grilled Cheese: This is chocolate and brie, toasted between two pieces of bread and then served with a strawberry champagne soup. Listen. Listen. Delicious. My only issue is that I don't really like chocolate lol I know. Stone me. So after awhile, it was just too much chocolate for me to tolerate BUT it's such a delicious combination. And i just ended up drinking the champagne soup. It's out of this world good. the Twist and Stout. My date loved it. It became sugar-overload after awhile so he didn't finish but he really liked it! The service is awesome. Definitely make a reservation because this place gets booked fast!

Vanessa L.

Sex is still better than the desserts here! The desserts were good. We had the "better than sex" which was ok. Good and different. Like I said it wasn't better than sex but it was good. We also had some drinks which were delicious. The coffee with the chocolate rim was phenomenal. It was probably my favorite thing I got from that place. We also got the money shot which was really tasty and a chocolate stout with a white chocolate rim. Everything was good. Not life changing but good. I would recommend to friends to check out. It is an awesome dining experience. Tip: make reservations because places sell out quick. I heard a couple saying they weren't able to go another time because there were no empty seats.

Rebecca L.

Let me start out by saying, I am quite the foodie and prior to visiting Key West I did quite the lengthy research behind must-try places to eat. I found better than sex and thought it was an interesting concept that you definitely don't see everyday. We arrived for dessert after having dinner down the street at a different restaurant. For starters, the ambiance is super cool! Never seen anything like it. Our server was super friendly and greeted us by saying "hello beautifuls!" We ordered the jungle fever and peanut perversion. When they brought it our table, they stuck with the theme of the restaurant by asking who the pervert was. I also got a coffee which was to die for and I wish they sold it to bring home. Has a tint of cinnamon and trust me, I've had plenty of coffee flavors but this was nothing like what I've ever had. If you're in town and have time to check this gem out, I would highly suggest doing so!

Delisia L.

Recommended stop by family. Had the Saratoga sparkling water and the kinky key lime pie. It wasn't like your typical key lime pie but this place isn't typical. All their desserts are unique. We couldn't decide as we also liked the better than sex chocolate cake. Their menus are on iPads. Nice touch because pictures say a thousand words. Great service and lovely atmosphere. Very romantic. I loved everything about this place. And so close to our hotel - block or so away from the Chelsea house.

WHAT EXACTLY IS IT ALL ABOUT ? ? ? In basic terms, it's a dessert restaurant serving up homemade specialties and some interesting drinks... BUT in actuality it's so much more... IT'S MEANT TO BE AN EXPERIENCE When I first came here years ago, the waitress "played a part" beyond just taking an order; she spoke like a 1-800 phone sex operator describing menu choices and drinks very provocatively.... THIS BEHAVIOR is EXACTLY what put this place on the map... Unfortunately, they rarely "PLAY THE PART" anymore and it's more like any other late night dessert shop. It's a shame too because when I bring "first timers" here they expect more; in a hopeful measure, I request a server that "plays the part" when I call in for reservations (whether that works I have no idea). Another detail lacking over the years too is the lights are on more than the past. It used to be intimately dark requiring a flashlight; now it's dark but not as intimate. Ever since they moved out of Bahama Village (old location), the vibe has become more commercial and less intimate. Although the red crystal chandeliers and red/black decor is truly unique. WHATCHA EATING ? ? ? Dessert (mostly chocolate) in a sense is SEXY... possibly even an aphrodisiac; add a menu that reads risquÃ©... time for the prudes to step aside but no worries... it's just dessert (NOT AN ORGY).... Over the years, I have tried nearly every dish... a couple stand out as excellent dishes but the majority are lackluster to expectations. Maybe every dish isn't amazing but reading the menu can be entertaining... examples of dessert names: Cookie Nookie Pie Tongue Bath Truffle Missionary Crisp Kinky Key West Cream Pie Better yet, here's some exerts from the menu descriptions: "cherries swimming in a mÃ©nage a trios of chocolates" "you'll be sure to get some nookie when you spoon up this sweetie" "stands erect on a bed of double chocolate cookie dough crust" WHAT ARE YOU LICKING ? ? ? Most of the kinky drinks here are referred to as "RIM JOBS"... Now, we are know what a RIM JOB is but at "Better Than Sex" it's just another play on words. Basically a glass is dipped in a rim covered sweet treat... think of the salt rimmed glass of a margarita but instead of margarita you have beer or wine and instead of salt you have caramel or chocolate... Best yet, when they bring your glass out it's always a riot to have a server yell out a loud and boisterous "WHO WANTS THE RIM JOB?" And for even more fun, watch the room for others already enjoying one... YOU WILL always find that one couple that is licking the glass not to miss a bit of chocolate... Our favorite was the 80ish year old couple that was licking their glass very erotically (GOOD FOR THEM). MY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE 1st TIME COUPLE Splurge and indulge; 2 desserts and 2 rims jobs... it's the best way to enjoy. I'd recommend: CHOCOLATE GRILLED CHEESE (brie cheese and dark chocolate; every woman loves it), BETWEEN MY RED VELVET SHEETS (cheesecake and cookie dough pie shell and a cream filling), MANDY'S MAN CANDY (Fruli strawberry beer with white and dark chocolate rim job) and CARAMEL OVER ME (moscato with caramel rim job). IS THE "EXPERIENCE" WORTH IT ? ? ? YES (for sure) if you are visiting Key West YES if you are a local for once in awhile

The food and ambience are quite nice. The cookie nookie pie was my dessert of choice and it was great both times we visited. My wife tried a couple of items creme brÃ»lÃ©e and the "grilled cheese" both weren't as good as my dessert. Unfortunately the price is quite high for dessert. You can't get out of this place without spending 50 on dessert and drinks! Outside of price I have no complaints.

Chocolate dipped wine- is this real life?! I've been to KW a handful of times but just discovered this magical place due to yelp. We went for a friend's bday and it was 4 of us. I should have been smart and made a reservation but I figured it being low season it shouldn't be a big deal. Well I was wrong. They originally quoted a 90 minute wait. We sat on the couches for not even 5 minutes and the host said something opened and we can be seated now woohoo! Thank you desert gods! The menus are iPads which was awesome bc you can see pictures of everything. The wine I got was jakas yum yum which was a red blend with dark chocolate rimmed glass. It was amazing. I had 2. I wanted 20. I was torn between two desserts the peanut butter perversion or the red velvet cheescake. I asked the waitress to just surprise me and bring whichever one. She brought the red velvet and it was insanely good. Omg mouthgasm to the Nth degree. Everyone at the table thought it was great and some don't like either cheescake or red velet. The ambiance is very romantic. Dark lit and very Sex vibe. It's on the pricy side but definitely worth it.

Better Than Sex is fantastic and, as its name implies, some of the best desserts you will ever try. I had the Peanut Butter Perversion and it was decadent. This pie was sweet, melt in your mouth, and full of peanut butter flavor with pieces of crumbly chocolate and chocolate chip cookie dough crust. Basically one of the best desserts I have ever tried. I also had a toffee beer in a caramel rimmed glass with heath bar pieces. The beer could have been a dessert of its own but complimented the pie perfectly. Better Than Sex is a unique experience, perfect for a romantic night out and a must visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.

They should be ashamed of how delicious the desserts are! Wink, wink We had the Chocolate Grilled Cheese and the Banana Bazooka, both beautifully presented and amazing. We will be back after dinner every evening for the rest of our visit to sample everything.

A great dining experience. The most expensive chocolate milk I'll probably ever buy. But so worth it. The environment was awesome. Mandy, our waiter was pleasant and have nice recommendations. I had the chocolate milk with the popcorn cheesecake. Both were excellent. My boyfriend had the cookie nookie which he enjoyed. It was all so worth it.

Almost everyone that found out that I was going to Key West suggested that I stop by Better Than Sex. My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here with dessert and drinks. What a fun and intimate experience! We came in early and there was no wait (score)! Upon being seated, our waitress explained the concept of the restaurant and that all of the items have sexy names. She also recommended some of the wines by the glass with chocolate on the rim. I opted for a sparkling red with chocolate and it was perfect. For a girl who loves chocolate and wine, it was a sinful combination. For our desserts, my husband got a key lime dessert and I opted for fried donuts with cheesecake fondue. They added a special touch by including anniversary messages written in chocolate for us. This is truly a unique dessert restaurant and I would encourage anyone who is curious to give it a try!

This was amazing. Never thought an all dessert retardant would work but they nailed it on the head! I would most definitely come back here! Had a few thing and shared it amongst my date. It was her birthday and they made it very special for her!

RJ found this place online before our trip, and we knew we had to go! It's dark and cozy and the staff is friendly and fun. I ordered the Caramel All Over me sweet white Moscato with caramel dripping down the sides of the glass. RJ ordered Kiss Me Katie champagne in a caramel dipped glass with sugar crystals. The drinks were so amazing and delicious that they were gone in 3 minutes, and I said um, were we supposed to drink them that fast?? We licked every bit of caramel off those glasses, and so we ordered 2 more! I had the Popcorn Pimp Cheesecake which was melt in your mouth cheesecake covered in chocolate covered popcorn. OMG!! RJ had the Peanut Butter Perversion which was peanut butter silk pie floating on top of a chocolate chip cookie dough crust. This was the best meal we had on this trip. Better Than Sex is amazing!!

This place is dripping with seductiveness, pun intended considering this restaurant is one HUGE pun (that's what she said). I stumbled upon Better Than Sex 10 years ago during the Goombay Festival when they were at their previous location. They were selling their classic rim job, the Choco Cab, from a booth in front of the restaurant. Cabernet Sauvignon poured into a glass rimmed in luscious chocolate? It was love at first taste. Ever since then, I have made it a point to visit Better Than Sex and believe me the sex... err... restaurant just keeps getting better and better. Sinful dessert grilled cheese made with brie and chocolate and rolled in cinnamon sugar, and the Banana Hammock rim job of banana bread beer and caramel are my absolute favorite menu items. This place is just plain sexy and there is no better word to describe it.

A MUST try on your visit to Key West. It's basically a dessert speakeasy. Lots of items to choose from with detailed descriptions. We had the chocolate grilled cheese, which was fantastic. Staff is very friendly and helpful too.

Great, unique and yummy experience! I dined at their old location years ago so on this trip I wanted to check out their new location. It was a really fun experience. The new space has a bunch of secluded booths, low light and helpful and enthusiastic waiters. We started with some "one night stands" (daily specials) and enjoyed a hot chocolate and Root Beer float. Then we split the Cookie Nookie and the Twist and Stout. Both were delicious! The Twist and Stout cake was so rich that I could barely eat half of it and I'm a major chocolate lover! We were in town celebrating our wedding anniversary and they wrote "congrats" with chocolate on the dishes which was a nice touch. Great experience- just go hungry!

Meg A.

super rich desserts for those celebratory evenings! It was my birthday so I ordered 2 desserts and I could barely make it through 1/5 of each of them. They were delicious just sooo rich. Its a really cool small place for couples to come to and I recommend it. Just be warned you most likely will need a salad after!

Alice M.

I have the BIGGEST sweet tooth. I couldn't wait to come here. It was cozy and romantic and the interactive iPad menus were a nice touch. We ordered the missionary crisp and my husband enjoyed a couple of the beers in the rimmed glasses. I loved the dessert--it had big chunks of apple, delicious vanilla ice cream, and crisp caramel on top. My only complaint was that for those who don't have a huge sweet tooth (like my husband) there aren't other options, but alas it is a dessert place :)
(4)
Brian P.

I guess I'd classify this place as the ideal Tinder meet-up spot. It's basically a wine/dessert bar with sort of a wink-wink sexual vibe. Order a glass of wine, get the namesake dessert and make awkward, inappropriate jokes with your date for an hour or so before you hit the bars.

Our first night in Key West, after a somewhat disappointing dinner somewhere, my hubby and I came here (no pun intended) for dessert to celebrate our anniversary and we were not disappointed! We got lucky that it was a Thursday night, the hostess was super nice, and she sat us right away (I would advice making reservations, especially on the weekends). The decor and ambiance was very sensual, with small intimate tables, candlelight, and some arousing photos (but tastefully done). There is an age restriction to dine here, off course. I love the fact that the desserts are home made by the owners, who have been married for several years. I cannot remember the name of the dessert, it was a warm pie with ice cream on top, and it was delicious! I had a hot coffee with Irish cream, and the glass rim was covered in chocolate! Omg! The hubby has a beer, and the glass rim was covered in caramel with toffee crumbs. I'm usually not that adventurous, but when I tried the beer it was insane! I believe it was called the sticky icky, lol. The prices were very reasonable too.

Virginia G.

A return trip proved much better then the first. Arrived rather early and received a nice cozy dark booth and the Ipad menu. Decided on a carolyns kiss (white wine with carmel rim) and Ephemerre for him with some sort of rim as well. Both were very tasty, very sweet. Also tried a white & sticky, and adult apple and a banana dessert which was very good but again, very sweet. Drinks were from $8.00 to $16.00a piece depending on the champagne in it. It's a nice experience to try in key west. Very cozy sexy and romantic, great music, very very sweet food and drink so for that I don't know if I'd go back. If I did I would get the champagnes without the rim and just enjoy it that way,Our total bill with 5 champagnes & 3 beers & 1 dessert was $114.

MAKE RESERVATIONS! - they are a must. This place was great - great desserts, fun creative drinks (glasses dipped in chocolate or caramel. The waitress that delivered our stuff was a little over the top (lol) but it definetly goes with the theme of the place.

Julia T.

RisquÃ© and dim-lit, this little dessert restaurant does not disappoint. The service was excellent, and the menu was easy to access in the relative dark on bright iPads. No squinting or iPhone flashlights necessary! The flickering candlelight provides an intimate ambiance, and the quiet music from every era only adds to it. The desserts are nothing short of works of art- we ordered the banana bazooka and the cookie nookie. Both were well-executed and creative, as well as delicious. The chocolate-rimmed glasses are a new and indulgent take on your average wineglass, and the coffee is strong but sweet. We loved it here!

Shenelle A.

Loooove this sexy dessert restaurant. I wish they had one in Fort Lauderdale. The dessert is amazing. I would definitely go again. I had the missionary crisp. Amazing apple pie with ice-cream

A night at Better Than Sex will be a night you will remember with butterflies in your belly, especially if you go with your other half. I will say it up front, while your first instinct is to go for the desserts (after all, it is a dessert restaurant), try and go for the experience first, and then everything else will fall into place. Yes, you might find better and cheaper key lime pie somewhere else in Key West, but everywhere else in Key West you will probably eat it while surrounded by dead fish on wooden walls and drunken sailor songs... Not here. Here you will enter a world of sultry, silky deliciousness. The place is dark inside, with just enough lighting for your loved one to see you biting your lips without the neighboring people noticing. This is the reason why their menus are iPads, since having "sex/dessert" in the dark might come naturally to us humans but reading in poor lighting not so much. The music is jazzy and romantic. The rimmed glasses are covered with sticky yumminess we love such as warm caramel, dark chocolate and honey. If you take all this in forgetting for a moment about what drunken bar to hit next, or which bathing suit to be worn tomorrow, by the time you both finish your dessert, key lime pie or not, you will feel like going back to your hotel room and testing the theory of this restaurants' name.

I must admit... i love desserts and this place was da bomb. Obviously not for kids and just for couples and possibly at the most a group of four. We had the Better than Sex Dessert, Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake and Jungle Fever. I also drank a mug of Irish creme Coffee with Dark Chocolate Rim on the mug. We had Kristy as our server and was great. Overall this dessert restaurant is must for all couples... my wifey was very happy that I surprised taking her here... now she allowed me to buy that new camera... mahalo Better than Sex desserts ;-D

Out of this world! Must try for a the experience and friendly staff. As soon as we walking in the door, the ambiance provided a very romantic atmosphere. The staff were all aware that we were celebrating our anniversary. The menu was on iPads...super trendy and fun! the darkness and close seating was very romantic. You cannot beat the rim jobs!!!! And finally a place that takes great craft beers and incorporates them into dessert! bravo! Not just wine anymore...although they have that too! I believe I had the better than sex and my husband had donut holes with cheesecake dipping sauce...His beer was with vanilla ice cream and white chocolate rim and mine was with dark chocolate. Roses on the table, a candle and happy anniversary! You have to go here for the experience but also for the desserts and RIM JOBS!!!!

Brian E.

I am not much of a dessert guy, but this is one of those places that does the entire experience just about perfectly. The atmosphere is casual elegance. The staff is friendly, educated on the product and very attentive. The desserts themselves are creative, fun and incredibly well done. I had the "one night stand" (their term for the desert du jour) last evening and it was the most amazing creme brÃ»lÃ©e I have ever eaten: buttery, sweet, balanced. They garnished the plate with some crumble and a couple of shortbread cookies with fresh whipped cream. They offer a variety of wines, beers and coffees served in cups rimmed with chocolate, caramel and other delights. I decided to forgo the fancy sweet beverage and chose a dogfishhead 90 minute IPA instead. Overall, this was an A+ experience. I would recommend skipping dinner before coming here. Maybe a late lunch and then straight to dessert.
(5)
Nisha D.

So let me start with the experience.. Nice cosy little place. Good for couples, I wouldn't recommend it at al for family / kids. The service was decent - our servers told us the history of the restaurant and the specials - Tried the "better than sex" dessert- bread pudding that tasted like a rich Choc cake- overall it was very good.

Adam S.

Service was outstanding. They were short handed but it was 4th of July. You must have a reservation. Very dim lit. Menus are mini iPads very cool. They deserts and drinks are made fresh every day and pieces are art. You must try this place.

This restaurant is fantastic for anyone who loves sweets. Even the drinks have melted chocolate around the rims, but be aware this costs extra. The all nighter coffee with dark chocolate and blueberry beer with white chocolate were the perfect accompaniment to our desserts. When deciding on your dessert, keep in mind that they are proportioned to share and if you dont share, come hungry. My fiance and I decided to split 2 and I was glad we did not eat prior as they were filling. Both desserts were pricey but well worth it. Our first dessert was the Fork-You Fondue. These donut holes with cheesecake fondue were light and great if you have had dinner and are still kind of full. Theyre not too sweet and you get to decide just the right amount of added sweet. Our second dessert was the Between My Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake This was very rich and very filling. I could taste both the red velvet and the cheesecake at the same time which was an interesting combination. The waitstaff was very nice. It is a bit dark, but they have all their menus on easy to use tablets. The decor and menu descriptions make it an adults only restaurant.

One of my friends suggested we try this place while we were on our girls trip this past weekend. It's definitely an experience that I'd suggest you try once. The inside is decorated with chandeliers, metal tiled ceilings, etc. The space is relatively small and dimly lit, so the menu is on an iPad and you receive a tiny flashlight to so you can illuminate things to see them. The menu is decently sized and all desserts are made in-house. I found the drinks interesting too. For instance, one of my friends got champagne with a glass that was rimmed/dripping with caramel and what appeared to be toffee bits, which she loved. I opted for the Peanut Butter Perversion which is the lightest, silkiest, tastiest peanut butter pie over a chocolate cookie crust which was equally delicious. It was my fave dessert of the bunch. I also tried my friend's chocolate stout pie which was good, especially if you like the flavor of stouts, and I tried the For You Fondue which are tiny cinnamon covered donut holes which you dunk in a melted cheesecake fondue. The donut holes were my fave thing on that plate because I didn't get a real, cheesecakey taste from the dip. All in all, this is a cute place to visit with your friends - or your boo. It's different, the desserts are good, the service is good, and it's just fun.

Brandy K.

I'm so glad we were able to get in for dessert and wine here - only wished we would have skipped dinner so we would have had more room. The chocolate-dipped glass of red wine was to die for, as was the chocolate grilled cheese with brie. Dark atmosphere creates the perfect romantic evening, and great recommendations from the bar tenders. I highly recommend.

Paul P.

What an amazing experience. The decor to the staff all pros. From the minute you enter to the cool street side exit door. Oh and the desserts holy moly ! All priced very reasonable blew us away. Thanks for the hospitality ! Our daughter and her friends enjoyed her 21st there big time.

Better Than Sex??? If you think TGI Fridays and The Cheesecake Factory are better than sex, then "yes." My wife and I went to BTS following a wonderful dinner at the Marquesa. I would describe us as fairly sophisticated diners who, conveniently, have fabulous sex, so our expectations were high given the name of the restaurant. My wife and I have been coming to Key West together for several years and have passed BTS many times. It is one of the first things you see as you enter the old town on Truman/US-1. We have been intending to go to BTS for some time, but always had other plans. Curiously, even though we come to Key West often, no one there has ever recommended this place to us. Rather, mentioning BTS to a local invites a curiously stoic reaction uncharacteristic of Key West's exuberance. When entering BTS, you are greeted with a warning sign indicating that the desserts are "rich." After being seated, you are given a second "warning" that the dessert chef has no formal training. Neither is a deal breaker per se. We have had fabulous over-the-top desserts in the past. And my mother is from Europe and is an exquisite pastry chef with no formal training. When we looked over the menu there was nothing particularly tempting to us. Rather, everything appeared rather "gooey." So, we settled upon something advertised as "award" winning (a chocolate/beer cake of some kind), and a chocolate rimmed drink. With respect to the cake, we received an uninspired twist on lava cake (an already hackneyed dessert concept in the world of desserts), accompanied by "ice cream" -- not actual ice cream, but a pearly white viscous invention made to resemble, well, something associated with sex (no shortages of sexual references and innuendo here). The chocolate used on the "rimmed" glass (yes, an homage to you know what) was unexceptional -- akin to the chocolate used in a chocolate fountain. We left two thirds of the dessert behind. When we left, we (and our stomachs) were quite upset, and I intended to write a scathing review of BTS. But, I decided not to do that, as I think this place has an audience -- evidenced, in part, by the numerous 4 and 5 star reviews here and superlatives used in them like "outstanding, "fantastic," and "perfect." Obviously, my wife and I are not the intended audience. But, I am not the intended audience for Bruce Springsteen, yet his music speaks to people and he somehow manages to sell millions of records without me. With that, let me explain my two star rating... The restaurant industry is divided into a number of categories ranging from fast food to fine dining. In the middle there is something known as "casual dining." Casual dining ranges from TGI Fridays to so-called "upscale casual dining" establishments like The Cheesecake Factory. The desserts at BTS fall into this area -- think of TGI Friday's "Oreo Madness," or "Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake" and similar offerings from The Cheesecake Factory. Despite some gripes about this place being expensive, it is very inexpensive by South Florida standards. If you are in your 20s and do not have a lot of money, this would be a cute place to take your girlfriend for dessert and a laugh (you will get the reference to "creampie" which most people over 50 probably will not). Or, if a nice dinner out for you is TGI Fridays or The Cheesecake Factory, then BTS will not disappoint. If, however, you have a more sophisticated palette, enjoy fine dining, or have experienced truly great desserts -- the intense chocolate of French Broad Chocolate Lounge in Asheville, decadently sweet Cuban pastries from Vicky Bakery in Miami, or sublime cakes and pies from Chocolate Pi at the Epicurean Hotel in Tampa, to name a few -- then avoid BTS.

Best dessert my wife has ever had. She raved about it for days, so I guess the place lives up to its name ;). I had one of the coffee drinks with a caramel glass, and she had the apple crisp. Both were excellent. I also had the raspberry sherbet which was incredible. BEST DESSERT EVER.

Sensual. Sexual. Defiantly a place to turn things up and or go into a diabetic coma. Everything is decadent, savory and plentiful. She got a wine to pair with her finger French toast Brie cheese sticks with strawberry purÃ©e to dip in. I got a coffee with Irish cream to go with my better than sex dessert. It was all amazing. Chocolate galore!!! Take your insulin shots upon arrival or you'll be in sugar overload. We'll definitely return when we come back to the keys. A must visit.

Skip dinner one of the nights you're in Key West, and just come here. And make sure you come here with someone who will put the "Better Than Sex" motto to the challenge with you afterward because the atmosphere in this place is so boudoir-sexy, intimate, romantic. That's before you are even served what is going to be the best dessert of your life. Definitely try the spiced coffee with the caramel rim, whatever you do. The caramel is homemade and ...orgasmic is the word to describe it. For my dessert, I had the Banana Bazooka and I'd have it again, and again, and again. My friend and I went in just as the sun was about to go down on a Friday night. We were taken right in and seated by a friendly hostess, taken up by a friendly, happy server, and treated to great service. Make sure you make a reservation, as this place gets packed quickly after the dinner-hours are over.

Jaime S.

This place is unique! It is a husband and wife owned dessert restaurant. I came here with my fiancÃ© for his birthday. Our waiter was "King Taylor",he was attentive and personable. We ordered 3 desserts, my favorite was the peanut butter perversion! It was delicious! I do suggest calling ahead to make a reservation, we had one and were sat immediately. The decor puts you in a sexy mood as well. The menus are displayed on iPads which made me feel right at home. Lol

Wow I wish we just skipped dinner and came here instead. Very filling. Wonderful service , the absolute most delicious coffee I have ever had in my life (coffee in my cream is a glass coffee mug dipped in about 2 inches of chocolate and served with home made baileys Irish cream on the side. The cookie nookie..... No words can describe how delicious this was. Totally a must do when in key west.

Fantastic array of desserts and drinks, all with a unique flare. This is the perfect date spot to set the mood. I recommend the banana bazooka and the banana hammock (can you tell I love bananas?) The bazooka is a dessert with just the right amount of banana and sweetness, not overwhelming. The banana hammock is banana beer rimmed with sweet caramel. I am coming back for sure!! Please make reservations as this place sells out fast!

Been there few times, desert and drinks are excellent. A must stop while in Key west!

Dustyn S.

Let's start off by saying that a place specializing in desserts is not going to be cheap by any stretch of the imagination. I had a choco-coffee with white chocolate drizzled on the rim of the glass along with a chocolate and Brie grilled cheese. It was all very good. No complaints about the taste, the quality, or the service. But $70 for 4 drinks and 2 desserts is highway robbery. Definitely worth checking out once in your lifetime, but unless you're made of money I don't think this will be a stop-in every time you pull through Key West. ** they also claim to have a patent on the concept of coating the rim of a glass with chocolate and that they are the only ones in the WORLD doing this- I honestly hope nobody (including the owners/staff) TRULY believes that the rest of the WORLD is banned from serving drinks with the rims of glasses coated in chocolate. But hey, it IS key west and anything is believable!
(4)
Sarah W.

I'm not sure what made me rate 5 stars the chocolate dipped glass of wine or our server taylor. This place is key west gold. Although I'm only on a girls trip I couldn't pass up coming to this romantic spot. The chocolate grilled cheese was to die for. We came on a Wednesday night so it wasn't that busy but I'm sure a reservation is strongly recomended for the weekend.

Richard R.

Save some room at dinner from wherever you were before this! Very unique drinks and desserts. Try the drinks with the glazed delicious rims. Cool iPad menus, dark and sensual atmosphere. This is a must-try place in key west!

Heather R.

It was excellent, however I was expecting something completely different and a little weird. It was really just a dimly lit dessert restraunt with some sexy dish names. That being said, the food was great. The grilled cheese and chocolate sandwich was excellent along with the root beer float and tongue bath truffle (flourless tort with raspberry sorbet). Slightly overpriced but again good food.
(4)
Ryan K.

One word: Overpriced. That being said lets breakdown the food / service we got. I made a 10:45pm reservation and we arrived a few (at most 3) minutes early. We sat in the reception area for a good 10 minutes. We sat at a ok table that was surrounded by booths. It was nice and dark inside but they had iPads that were set to a blindingly bright setting for menus that were clunky at best. What happened to the romance of a nice paper menu and some candle light? The drinks (wife had a chocolate rimmed red wine and I had a "adult" rootbeer "float" with caramel on the rim) were bad. The "adult" rootbeer was a glorified over sweetened Belgian ale and the caramel sauce on the rim was gritty. The chocolate sauce on the rim of my wife's drink appeared to be nothing more than Magic Shell. The deserts were at best ok. I had the Key Lime pie. They warned me when I ordered it that it was not the norm but the waitress stated I would still like it. Until the piece they brought out I had yet to meet a Key Lime pie that I did not like. I was only able to choke down about half of it. The wife ordered the apple pie dish that came with some ice cream. The ice cream was the only good part. Overall the bill was $55! That would be acceptable if the desert was actually "better than sex" instead we both left in a grumpy diabetic shock....

My girlfriend and I stopped here for wine and dessert on Sunday night. We each had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon dipped in a semi-sweet chocolate. For a house wine, the cab sav was very good and the chocolate dipped glass paired well together. As a dessert, we split the "Cookie Nookie Pie". This was good but taste pretty much like any other cookie pie dessert I've had before.

Fantastically delicious and sinfully amazing. From the sexy decor to the tantalizing desserts to the decadent libations, you will be licking the chocolate off the rim of your glass for more.

Ran into this place by accident. Checked reviews and decided to give it a try around 11:30pm without reservation. Waited about 20 minutes before seated. We had Kinky Key Lime, Tongue Bath Truffle and one of the rim job champagne. Very high quality dessert and drink. Very friendly service. Interesting decors! Highly recommended. Reservation is also recommended, albeit the wait is worthy.

Great service, amazing desserts and the drinks are really good. I enjoyed the 10-year Port on a chocolate rimmed glass. The cookie is amazing and so is the Brie with chocolate. Nice place for a romantic evening.

When wife & I booked our Key West trip, Better Than Sex was what we looked forward to the most. We even made reservations for every night of our trip! I guess our expectations were let down. We expected a wilder, louder atmosphere with a more playful staff. Our server(s) really seemed to go through the motions and weren't really into the whole theme of the restaurant. Not that we expected strippers and models to serve us, but the people we dealt with could have been straight out of an Applebee's commercial. Was the dessert good? Maybe that was the most disappointing part of all. I had the Cookie Nookie, which was very good but still below my expectations. Wife had a "one night stand" dessert that was supposed to resemble tiramisu in a glass but it was a watery, liquory mix of ... well, not tiramisu. Between the desserts and a coffee drink (the chocolate covered glass rim was delicious, as was the Baileys, but the coffee was meh), the bill was $40 with tip. When the realization hit me that we paid $40 for dessert plus $10 in cab fare to get to the restaurant, we felt disappointed and cancelled the rest of our reservations for the rest of our trip. As it turned out, Better Than Sex was not better than sex. Go over their menu in advance. Anything that's been on there for a while probably is worth ordering. Stay up on the prices, know that it's not THAT wild of a place, make sure it's worth exploring with the people you're with and hopefully you'll have a better time than we did.

Sex was better. The feel and vibe of the place- great. Very dimly lit and full of old world charm. You're definitely in need of a reservation so be sure to make one. The menu was filled with sexual innuendos and made the whole experience very playful. We sat down on time for our reservation. Our party of 5 ordered 4 desserts, a root bear float, a dessert beer and a round of ice water. Our server was okay at first. She played her roll as the tongue in cheeky flirty waitress discussing the options of a rim job on more than 3 occasions. Orders were taken, and our excitement grew. Drinks came first. The dessert beer with caramel rim job was said to be delicious. The root beer float- also good. The better than sex award winning chocolate bread pudding was kinda bland. The cookie nookie was probably the best at the table. The red velvet cheese cake was sour tasting and shouldn't even have been ordered. Then there was the Jungle Fever. Unfortunate, we never got to try it because our waitress never put the order in and then lied and said the kitchen forgot. After everyone basically finished the desserts, one of the members in our party declared to another server she rather not even eat it at this point since everyone else already got to enjoy their desserts. Once this message was relayed, the server never came to apologize and instead cancelled the order. She came back with an attitude and stated, " I went ahead and cancelled it out. It's ready and everything but that's what you said you wanted so I did it." She put us all in a bad mood and we just wanted to leave. The nice manager came to apologize and did the right thing by comping the drinks. Finally, the waters arrived. Cassie, kiss my assy.

If you love very sweet desserts- this is your place! No complaints on the food or drinks. However, we were full after our amazing dinner elsewhere, and definitely over-ordered since we each ordered a dessert and drink. We left in a sugar coma. The service was great, and they even decorated our desserts for our anniversary. Doing something little like writing "happy anniversary" on a dessert plate goes a long way. Thank you.

Jay R.

I can't stop anything that hasn't already been said. We called after dinner and managed to get a time slot for 30 minutes later. Dark sensual interior with lots of small areas for couples. I had a coffee drink with caramel dripping down the sides. She had a chocolate dessert called Twist and Stout that she still raves about.

Sooooo good. One of the best desserts I've ever had. This ace has a cute theme and amazing food. It's worth visiting :)

1st thing - make a reservation! Do not try to stop in & get a table on a whim! I made a reservation for here & I wasn't sure if it was going to be touristy or the real deal but then I asked some locals about the place & they raved about the desserts so I knew we would not be disappointed & we were not!! I had the Red Velvet Cheesecake - delicious but incredibly rich & my husband had the Creme BrÃ»lÃ©e - even more delicious!! We also each had a beverage, my husband had the cider with caramel & I had a red zinfandel with white chocolate & chipotle sugar rim - so creative & unique! The waitress asked if it was a special occasion & we told her it was our honeymoon so the chef wrote a special note on her plates.

It may not be "better than sex", but it certainly is a great substitute. Katy, our waitress, did a great job explaining what they offered. That is a good thing because it is romantically dark in there, to the point where a small flashlight was left on the table so we could look at the menu. Wife can "cream in my coffee" and "Fork You fondue" while I went with a Jones Rollover Root Beer FLoat and "banana Bazooka." The desserts were fantastic and the drinks equally good. It was an expensive option for dessert, but a worthwhile expense and experience.

Edmund G.

We had planned on trying this place before we left the keys and I am glad we did. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was awesome and made our experience fun. The desserts and wine were INCREDIBLE!!!!! We will definitely be back on our next visit. AWESOME place, food, and experience.

Brian W.

It's a great, fun concept. The environment is very dark with lots of candles, borderline bordello, but suits the overall theme of the place. The hosts were really friendly; check-in was easy. They use iPads for everything - even the menu! The menu is an iPad with a scrolling marquee of menu options. Tapping on each item enlarges the photo and loads a description of the item - VERY nice touch. Our server was extremely friendly and outgoing; she played with the innuendo and puns you'd expect from this place. Lots of fun. She suggested wine/beer/coffee pairings with our selections. I had the Banana Bazooka, which was a cross between banana creme pie and banana pudding. It came with a spoon full of caramel. I also had the Wells Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale. The pilsner glass came rimmed with caramel and nuts. It was almost too much. I'm still checking the feeling in my fingers and toes since I think I am now a diabetic. All in all, a wonderful place, great, creative desserts and a friendly atmosphere and serving staff. I'd go again. Oh - MAKE A RESERVATION. Drop ins usually have a long wait.

Urgh! I had been looking forward to dessert here for weeks, but I now can safely report that if these people think this is better than sex, they're doing it wrong! First off, we arrived about 20 minutes prior to our reservation, only to be told in a very snooty manner by the hostess that we would not be seated until out allotted time. Her attitude was that of a salesperson in Cartier, rather than a welcoming maÃ®tre d. That said, we had no beef with waiting as we knew we were early. About three minutes later, a young couple enters, and the man tells the hostess that they are THREE hours late. Like magic, the hostess declares that she can find them a table in the back speakeasy section, and that where they will be seated is "very cool". They are seated immediately. We are understandably miffed as common courtesy (and common sense) would have dictated that we be offered that table in the first instance. Five minutes later, a young, gay couple enters. They also ask for a table, but are told that nothing is available and the wait is at least 45 minutes to an hour. So, basically, one answer for the straight couple and another for the gay one. Nice. The hostess continues to actually snap and sing throughout this entire time, and makes no attempt at apology whatsoever. After twenty minutes, we were seated, and our server then embarked on an innuendo-laden script that was, frankly, uncomfortable to listen to. We order the red velvet cheesecake and the "jungle fever", a molten chocolate cake with vanilla icecream. We thought that all the rude and weird behavior could still be redeemed by wonderful desserts. We were wrong. Both desserts totally lacked flavor, which seemed odd considering this is a restaurant that focuses solely on dessert! The red velvet cheesecake with cream cheese frosting tasted neither of cheesecake nor cream cheese. It did, however, taste of salt! And the jungle fever tasted like Jello Pudding with very, very bland vanilla. The portions, however, were generous. And, finally, the entire restaurant is so dimly lit that they actually have to give out flashlights to each table. Additionally, the menus are all on iPads. What do these two things have in common, you ask? Germs. One cannot see if the tables have been wiped down as even seeing your hand in front of you is a challenge. And, I can vouch that the iPads were not being sanitized, so there was a real possibility of germs upon germs upon germs. I willl not return to Better than Sex when in Key West again and I just wished I hadn't wasted my time or money. Let this be your warning!

All I can say is genius! I wish I thought of this idea and I wish they would open one in NYC (it would be perfect here!). Where do I start? The place is very sexy, dark and dimly lit. The only problem is they don't take parties over 4...I totally understand why, to keep it intimate. The menus are also a nice touch, all iPads with pictures of all menu items (I love a good visual!). As for the food/drinks, they back up the name. Everything was DELICIOUS! Even just a simple glass of wine is coated with chocolate to bring it to a new level. The desserts were creative and ridiculously good. I would definitely recommend making a reservation, but if you don't it's worth the wait!

We came to celebrate our anniversary. Intimate, romantic setting. The chocolate rimmed wines are great. We split the chocolate grilled cheese. It was so good, we ordered another one. We rarely eat dessert too. Highly recommend this place!
(5)
Ken A.

There really are no words that can accurately describe this fantastic dessert restaurant!! My wife and have celebrated two anniversaries here and we were blown away and amazed both times. If you are in Key West and have a sweet tooth it should be illegal to leave without having dessert here! The desserts are the most creative I have ever seen. I have experienced flavor combinations I never thought were possible before. And the drinks! Caramel or chocolate rimmed glasses with a variety of wines and beers are a dessert all their own! The interior is very intimate and romantic and the staff was phenomenal both times we were here. This restaurant is worth a same day round trip flight to Key West just to get dessert!
(5)
Barb B.

Amazing desserts & wine! While in Key West for vacation I made it a point to stop in at this place. Make reservations! It's small and they do get busy. We had the better than sex, chocolate grilled cheese, sex appeal & carly's button. All were amazing. Will definitely return when we are in the area again. Also a great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary! Service was excellent, Carolyn made several suggestions and knew the menu well. Thank you so very much!

Danielle P.

While the concept of this place is unique and sassy, I was expecting a bit more. Don't get me wrong, the desserts are fresh and made from high quality ingredients, but the service was meh and the atmosphere left a little to be desired. However, the place is tiny so make a reservation. The hostess assumed we had been there before and left some tablet menus on the table without saying anything else. The table looked like a wooden fast food table. We had a cozy little booth, so that was a plus. The waitress explained the menu and how to order and also gave us flashlights because it was extremely dark in there. The flashlight was too bright to comfortably use, though. The quality of wines were not the best, but all of the glasses are rimmed with chocolate or caramelized sugar. Very delicious! They have some unique beer options and chocolate beer drinks as well. I'd recommend getting the Rose champagne and white chocolate glass. Amazing combo. Our desserts were good, but not worth finishing or taking home. No one finished theirs and we didn't order another drink. If you're an avid dessert eater, this place may be for you. Otherwise, take a pass.

If I could give this place more stars i would! The reviews and pictures do not do the restaurant justice. Very romantic, intimate setting. And a great place to stop by after eating at one of the restaurants in Duval since it does open at 6 and it is strictly a dessert restaurant. The sever I had was extremely nice and just as helpful when it came to matching drinks with dessert. The menus are iPads and I love this idea because it shows you a picture of what you'll be ordering(yes the picture is true to way will be arriving at your table). To go with the name of the restaurant, there WILL be a lot of sexual innuendos, but it's all in good fun. I ordered a cookie nookie with sex appeal which is moscato with a "rim job" of white chocolate. And I'm still dreaming about what I ordered. Definitely will visiting again.

Bevi K.

With a name like that, how can you not go in? My husband and I spotted this restaurant while on vacation and decided we just had to try it. While they usually only do reservations, we were on a stand by list and got a table. It's a very dark place with drinks and dessert. The menus light up, I thought that was uber cool. Everything ofocurse is sexual, and they have sexy card games on the table. The prices were pretty steep for the quality of the food but you're paying for the ambience and atmosphere. It was a great unique date that I would recommend if you're in the area.

The idea is great, but the execution... Not so much. Our waiter was wonderful; overall the service was top-notch. The problem was the desserts. I want to be very clear here- I am a dessert person. I love sweets. But this was pretty disappointing. We had the chocolate grilled cheese, the missionary crisp, and the banana bazooka. The grilled cheese was interesting; a good mix of salty and sweet, but the bread they use has too heavy of a crust. They should use challah or brioche instead. The crisp was good, but had this strange slightly burned flavor. Maybe the caramel was burned? I don't know; it definitely did not measure up to others I've had. Then there was the god-awful banana bazooka. The crepes were partially raw, and the whole thing was covered in this gross banana pudding-type sauce. Horrible.

Fat bellies full of freakishly fantastic sweet yumminess. Dark chocolate candle-lit decore and a large menu of nothing but top-notch sweet treats. Everything - even the choco milk - was amazing in both taste and presentation.
(5)
Alex K.

There are no words how amazing and wonderful the place is just none! The place looks like a romantic yet fancy restaurant. The rimmed glasses and desserts are just better than sex. I ordered the chocolate milk and Better Than Sex. The choclate milk came with milk and a choclate rimmed glass. The Better Than Sex was the best! It was a whole choclate cake piece that tasted like heaven and 5 layers of choclate combined and came with a side of whipcream. Best place of the whole century!

Lyndsay N.

Went here to get a piece of Key lime pie. When we got there we were asked if we had reservations which we didn't, but the place was empty. The host looked annoyed, but we were seated right away. The restaurant is dark and the menu is back lit with an led light. We got the key lime pie and red wine with a chocolate rim. Both were so good! Whoever thought of the chocolate rim is a genius! Our friends got the apple beer with a caramel rim. Signature drink there and a must try.

Hello...where have you been!!! And I'm not even a sweet tooth kinda gal. The rimmed wines are so rich and smooth! The desserts are so moist, rich and perfect in every possible way. Each dessert offers the opportunity of trying out components separately or combining them for such interesting, innovative flavor combinations. A gem and a must if visiting key west!!!

Twist and Stout- Chocolate beer in chocolate rimmed glass? yes please Team cream- sounds messy, but tastes great! no really cookie nookie? hell yeah Grilled brie cheese with chocolate? who thinks of this stuff? so good We went here the second to last night of our recent trip to key west, and liked it so much we went back the following night. The menu, lighting, atmosphere, food and service are all top notch. Everything here has a sexual innuendo, but its well done, not too over the top or lewd. Definitely looking froward to going back!

Jenna B.

Loved this place - we had a great experience!! Our waitress, Kelley, was fantastic! Very attentive, explained everything to us and recommended her favorite dishes/drinks. Menus were really neat; how they were back lit. We had the chocolate grilled cheese and the better than sex - they both were amazing!!! I also had the banana hammock beer (banana bread beer with a caramel dipped rim) so good!! I'd recommend getting a reservation; at least a day or 2 in advance. Yes, everything is on the pricey side but definitely worth the splurge for sure! Love the idea of this place and love that it's small and secluded from everyone else in the restaurant; it seemed we were in our own little "cubby" area which was cool! We will definitely be back again!!

Do not miss this homerun-perfect concept place. Ambiance is beyond perfect. Tablets for menus. Incredible wine pairings. Truly unique and decadent desserts. Very romantic place and is a true must visit for key west!

The portions were huge and the staff was willing to switch out a dessert that our group had ordered and wasn't a big fan of. They were also very accommodating after we missed our reservation for a group of 7. The food was good, not amazing, but a fun place to stop at.
(3)
Chuck B.

Overheard someone on the boat talking about this place. It was excellent. The desserts are really different and much appreciated to this foodie. The desserts are big, so you may want to split with someone you are with. Make sure to get a reservation. I got one at 10pm, and it was packed. When we left, there were people lined up around the block. Also, it is really dark. They provide you a flashlight to see. I thought the use of iPads as menus was ingenious. Can't wait to go back!

LOVE! Very dark romantic atmosphere. They give you each an iPad that includes their menu. Our waitress had her own "Tia's tickler" on the menu. She was very professional, knowledgable, and fun. We ordered a strawberry ale that came in a glass which had the rim dipped in chocolate! It was DELICIOUS. We also ordered the Better than Sex chocolate cake/ bread pudding...to die for. It is a little expensive, but hey, you're in Key West- you can splurge.

James O.

Started off with the Carmel dipped mascota wine and the champagne special, both were amazingly good. This immediately put us in a the right mood and we felt right at home. I ordered the Belgian chocolate Brie grilled cheese, excellent but could be legendary if there is/was more Brie in it. The chocolate was delicious but more brie was needed in between the two french toast wedges. It came with a tiny cup of strawberry soup, OMG that was so good could have a pot full for dinner. My wife's dish was disappointing and they were very gracious to take it off the bill. Nothing wrong with it, just not our taste. My daughter's vanilla with Carmel and sugar chips was excellent also and she had a big smile on her face the whole time. Let me just say that there is no doubt that only the best of everything is used in every dish and made with skillful passion. Then another round of drinks topped off the experience. We saw a few dishes being served to other tables which looked amazing. The chocolate truffle and the better than sex cake are two dishes we will order when we come back to KW in March. I fully expect to edit this up to 5 stars then. It's just a matter of finding the right dish for your taste. Sort of like sex with a new partner sometimes it takes more then one try to have perfection. All the ingredients and moving parts are there for perfection it's just a matter of choosing what's right for us. This should go on your must do list when you come down to KW. Book in advance though or you won't get in.

Leslie P.

One of the best desserts I've ever had! Ever! A MUST if you go to Key West. Sexy, romantic, low light atmosphere, you even get a flash light to look over the menu. The staff is fantastic and knowledgeable of their menu, which helps narrow down your options because did I mention you get a flash light to look over the menu? I had the Better than Sex and le boyfriend opted for the double chocolate rimmed glass of strawberry beer, but he had some of my dessert because it was SO good. So good we had to go back a second time in 4 days. *Make sure you call ahead and make reservations.*

Just awesome. Pricey for dessert for sure but the ambience and the vibe this place emits is spectacular. Small and cozy but with a definite intimate feel. I need one of these places closer to me! Why are you still reading this and not walking there??

Really cool atmosphere and friendly, quirky staff. We had the Jungle Fever and the Peanut Butter Perversion. Both were delicious and I would recommend trying their caramel sauce!!!

Good dessert but "better than sex" is a stretch. Since all they do is dessert, I would expect it to be exceptional. I still recommend trying it though!

Great food and romantic atmosphere. If you have any kind of a sweet tooth you have to make your way here. Our waitress, Kelly, was super knowledgable about the menu and helped us choose good beers with a caramel rimmed glass and good wine with a chocolate rimmed glass. Our desserts melted in our mouth, but we're very filling so go hungry!
(5)
Rachel R.

Sexy, romantic dessert place perfect for couples. Signature better than sex really lives up to its name. Chocomilk is a cup of milk with chocolate drizzles. Okay food but quite interesting. Ice cream is okay but not a must. Knocking off one star because the service was kind rude. we went there on Xmas eve, so probably that's why our waitress tried to herd us out two times by asking if we want boxes for takeout, when everything on our table was cleared not finished. Would go back again if I visit key west next time. Still a must go placeï¼

The desserts were to die for! Definitely make reservations in advance. Ambiance is romantic with candle light table. Good place for couples. Having trouble coming up with topic? No problem, pick up a card on the table.

Coming back to this dessert restaurant is the reason I am heading back to Key West so soon. Granted I am down here often, but it's "Better Than Sex" that I keep raving about to friends, family, strangers, even my dog knows I love the desserts here For those that know me, know I am a big peanut butter and chocolate fan. So of course on my first and second visit I went straight to the "Peanut Butter Perversion". Here's the menu description: "Nothing immoral about this peanut butter silk pie floating on top of a chocolate chip cookie dough crust. Don't Deprive yourself of the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Deviantly corrupt, innocently perfect." Now tell that doesn't sound mouth watering good. I've also had the "Cookie Nookie" and here's the menu description: "You'll be sure to "Get Some" Nookie when you spoon up this sweetie. Imagine the inside of a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven being wrapped up in a fluffy blanket of flakey pie crust. Wrapped up inside you'll find bits of chocolate pieces, pecans and ooey gooey goodness. Served with a vanilla bean ball nestled along side." Inside it's very romantic with dim lighting, candles are burning on tables and shelves and they even give you a flashlight to see the menu. Perfect to come with your significant other, a double date or a girls night out. I don't recommend coming with prudes or grandparents.

Joshua H.

I was skeptical going in because I'm not such a sweets person. Neither is my husband. Having everything rimmed was amazing, and that was before we even got to dessert. Tia was perfect with her subtle sexiness and amazing suggestions. What a spot for a romantic honeymoon. I would suggest Better Than Sex to anybody.

Really good drinks and desserts. A must try if you are in key west area. Make sure you make reservation ahead of time.

There are no words for how amazing this place is but I'll try! The choices are endless and the next one better than the previous. The drinks we had were to die for! Champagne with a caramel creme brÃ»lÃ©e rim? I mean how could that not be good! The chocolate grilled cheese might be the best thing ever!! Try it! The atmosphere was devilish and a great way to end the evening!!

Marianne C.

This was a unique experience and am glad I went but doubt I will ever go back. We each had one desert and one drink and with tip we spent $50. FOR DESERT! That's just crazy. It was a fun place; very intimate and VERY dark. The menu's are back lit so you can read them in the dark. The menus were also quite fun with the names and descriptions of the deserts all having sexual themes. They had quiet live acoustic music playing which was nice. Our deserts really were very very yummy and presentation was lovely. It was also a nice quiet way to get away from the hustle bustle of Key West. So even though I will not likely return because I don't feel it was worth the cost, it was a very good experience that I'm glad I had..... ONCE.

J B.

Come here for the ambience. Ideal for an intimate setting so if you are a couple I would suggest coming here. It's dark inside but they do have a flash light available. Menu is available via iPad. I don't really have a sweet tooth, but the twist and stout was very good. I think one dessert is good enough to feed to ppl.

Jan N.

Absolutely worth visiting! Prices and service were great. The desserts are fabulous - we had the infamous Chocolate Grilled Cheese (brie cheese fused with chocolate on toast with a rasperry sauce) and the Cookie Nookie Pie. Looooved it! The decor inside is great - dark, sultry, red velvet... it really sets a nice mood. They even give you tiny flashlights so you can see the menu better! I saw some people in there with kids, but I would NOT recommend that. It's not a kid friendly environment. Perfect for an intimate night out, whether with friends or a loved one. This place oozes sexiness - all they needed was a trumpet player playing something blue-sy! I told the waitress I'd love for them to open up a location in Miami and she told me if I knew of anyone with deep pockets, to send them her way! So, any takers?
(5)
Claire W.

AMAZING dessert! I ordered the Better Than Sex cake and it was so heavenly. Definitely worth the calories. Everything on the menu sounded amazing and looked delightful when it came out. I also had the spiced coffee with a semi sweet chocolate rim-to die for! I only wish they opened this restaurant in Los Angeles!

Isabel S.

Amazing !!! I don't ever visit Key West without stopping at this wonderful place. It is dark, the seating always has a private feel, and it only serves delicious desserts and drinks. They give you small flashlights so that you can see the menu. They also have tabletopic cards on the tables which list really intriguing questions you can ask each other while you wait for the dessert (large enough to share) and drinks to arrive. It's the IDEAL place to take your partner, especially on those romantic weekend getaways to the Keys! They take reservations which is great. The only negative thing I can say is that the route we take to get there (walking from the Truman hotel) seems a little shady. But, nothing's ever happened, and for me, one of the best restaurants I've ever been to period.

This is incredible. If you only go to one restaurant in Key West, make sure it is this one! Banana bread beer rimmed with Carmel is amazing.

This place is awesome. When I first moved here the name caught my eye. But once I tried it the desserts took it over. The ambiance is so moving. The staff is awesome very friendly and the new menus are very high tech! The decor is awesome much is pier 1 an awesome place to shop! The perfect outing!! It is very dark inside which I love but could be difficult for some!! So worth the visit !!

Dee S.

First bite: "oh shit". This pretty much sums up our experience at better than sex. This place hit 5 stars on all fronts. The food, the drinks, the service, the atmosphere all exceeded expectations. We had cookie nookie which was a chocolate chip cookie wrapped in pie crust with vanilla ice cream, drizzled with Carmel and hot fudge. Again, "oh shit". We also had drinks, sex appeal and sexy soda float which again were amazing. I definitely recommend getting a reservation through their website because walk ins were waiting 90 minutes on Saturday night. This is really a restaurant for couples with a dark and romantic atmosphere, I don't think you could find a better place for date night.

Woohoo! As good as it gets! I can't recommend enough. What an unique place and concept. Love it! Waiting time was an hour :/ but we didn't have reservations and it was the weekend. Good thing is a place for just desserts and drinks so i already had dinner at another place. Someone local told us that this place was a most and it really was! very happy i went there and it was one of my favorite part of my vacation

Is it really...you know...what the name says...I will not comment on that. All I can say is this is a dessert place that doesn't "let you down". It doesn't seat a lot and make sure you make a reservation because it can get busy and you have to wait. From what I hear if you don't have a reservation, your "screwed". It's relatively dark inside. They give you a mini flashlight to read the menu. The decor is quite humorous in a sexual way. Half naked people on the walls. We were still full from dinner at El Meson but we made a valiant effort to have dessert. Here is what I recommend you try: 1. The Chocolate rimmed wine glass with the wine of your choice. I can see how people go nuts for both but I was too full to appreciate the experience. 2. We had The Missionary Crisp (apples with buttery cake with vanilla ice cream and caramel). Sh*t it was good! Almost better than.... 3. You will not go wrong with the Banana Bazooka. It's a crepe-like tortilla torte with chunks of banana, caramel and some cinnamon while being paired with white chocolate and sugar icing in Heath bar crunch...close to being better than... 4. The waitress was so damn nice! Even the host accomodated us. Somehow the hotel didn't call in our reservation but they seated us pretty quickly. I guess they realized I was "kind of a big deal". 5. Prices were a bit on the high side BUT you do get what you are paying for: Pure Deliciousness. **Definitely go here for the experience you virgins! You will not be disappointed...like your first time having... ***Remember to make reservations. 6-8pm is a good time to go. It's always busy so buckle up. ENJOY!

This place is amazing. The wine glasses dipped in chocolate are completely genius and delicious. It is a bit pricy but it is worth it. Also all of the waitresses are super friendly and willing to answer any questions. Oh and the menus are iPads.... its awesome. If you are in Key West you must go!!

I came here because of the crazy key lime pie called kinky. I must say I am an old fashioned pie kind of guy. It was way too heavy and just not what I expected plus 11 dollars a slice was a bit much. I am not reviewing the place because I just picked up the desert from here. The staff were courteous and the place is too dark and romantic for me.

This is just a fun place to go. It is unique and unusual in a place that is unique and and unusual! The wine pairings with chocolate rimmed glasses were superb. Our service (on the two evenings we went) was excellent - shout out to Kelly who moved from Manhattan! A great idea was the game cards left on the table to spark discussion. The desserts were very good. Not the better than sex in my humble opinion. But very good!

Yum yum yum. one of my new favorite places ever. The entire restaurant is decked out liked a bordello, and is very dark. The menu is all double entendres, with drink names like "Carly's button" , "Lavender lips", and "Rim Jobs". Lol. I swear this is the first time I've ever said this... You HAVE to order a Chocolate Rim Job. Incredible.

The only way I can imagine someone NOT enjoying this restaurant is: 1) If you don't like finely crafted deserts (what made you like this you MONSTER?) 2) you were severely traumatized when assorted baked goods mugged you in a darkened alleyway I ordered their "Between My Red Velvet Sheets" Cheesecake and when I finished I was seeing in colors that I never knew existed.

I love anyplace that's decorated in the color Scarlet (my fave) and features lots of sex stuff (my fave). I wasn't in the mood to drink, nor do I dig desserts, so that part was lost on me. Bf ordered a coffee with a Khalua shot (the Money Shot if you will) and loved it. There are great items to peruse...books and great photos. We poured over a great book on sex for couples. Hilarious. And informative. The bartender Jen was friendly and warm...just a great and inviting spot overall. A must visit.

This was my absolute favorite restaurant from our trip to Key West! If you are ever going to Key West, put this on your must-see list. Our B&B hosts suggested we go here after dinner one night, and we had a little trouble finding it. It's a ways away from the main strip, which gave it major appeal in my book. It was soooo romantic. The tables are small and intimate and they even give you a flashlight so you can see the menu. Every drink and dessert has a sexy twist, and I was afraid it would be all kitsch and no real flavor. I was so wrong. We each got a drink and a dessert and everything was amazing. We were completely stuffed when we left. I wish I could get this place to move to Chicago!

Although I wouldn't exactly say the food here was better than sex, it's definitely a place worth checking out for an intimate and unique Key West Experience! It's a good escape for the crazy bar scene on Duval Street. Be ready to pay though! Between the 4 of us on our double date, the bill added up to almost $100 for 3 desserts and 4 glasses of wine. I wasn't exactly expecting that, but sure... I guess we're on vacation. Better Than Sex (BTS) is a tiny little restaurant tucked away on Petronia Street. You can find it by the Floridian colored pink arch way at the front of the street coming from Duval. I woud recommend making RESERVATIONS beforehand!! The place can get pretty busy. Inside, it's dark and intimate. Most of the lighting is candle light and whatever is coming through the windows. If you need it, they'll give you a mini flashlight to help you read the menu. We were first timers to BTS, thus the waitress dubbed us "Better Than Sex Virgins" and she was going to pop our BTS cherries. From the staff to the menu, it's all extremely playful with tons of sexual innuendo throughout the entire place. So one of the specifically unique thing about this restaurant is that it only serves desserts and drinks! We started off with a couple drinks, which all of them are dipped in chocolate or caramel! It complemented the wines perfectly by giving you a sweet aftertaste with the bitter drink. We ordered Kelly's Klimax, The Sex Appeal, Adult Apple, and Carly's Button. Carly's Button was my favorite!! It tasted like a chocolate dipped strawberry!! For desserts, we tried the Cookie Nookie Pie, Banana Bazooka, and the Chocolate & Brie Grilled Cheese. The Cookie Nookie was okay. Too many nuts in it for my liking. My friend absolutely loved the Grilled Cheese. It's like she was possessed by the sandwich. Just kept staring off into space, happily chewing. I loved the Banana Bazooka! Could eat that stuff forever! The layered dessert has so many flavors and textures in a single bite! SO GOOD! TRAVEL TIP: Let your front desk or attraction concierge at the hotel know you're going to Better Than Sex. I'm not sure if this is every hotel, but our concierge had "10% off the entire bill" coupons for BTS!! Ended up saving quite a bit with the desserts being a bit pricy.

This time we arrived around 6:45 pm. They were able to seat us right away! We ordered the Adult Guzzler. This had root beer and homemade Irish cream ice cream . Absolutely amazing!!! Also had the apple beer with caramel and Mandy's Man Candy. For dessert we had Banana Bazooka and Peanut butter Perversion. All was very excellent. It was my boyfriends birthday, so I didn't mind spending $75 with tip for 4 drinks and 2 desserts. :)

Romantic, cheeky, and so fun! We came here for a late-night anniversary "dessert dinner. We were congratulated by the hostess upon arrival, by our waitress and other waitstaff throughout the evening, and with cute little notes on our desserts. The atmosphere is dark with red and black decor and lit by candlelight. It's a classy and romantic atmosphere, not risquÃ©. The menu, however, is, which is part of the fun. Each dish is written in excruciatingly kinky detail and feels over-the-top. But it's intentional and all part of the experience. Our waitress and meal runners were friendly and helpful and playful without being too much. The food and drink: awesome! We shared a bottle of cab rimmed with chocolate. Their wines are priced well, but I wouldn't go here to order a fancy bottle of wine. You're probably going to rim it with a thick coating of chocolate anyways. The red velvet cheesecake was flavorful and rich without being dry or cloying. The Brie cheese and chocolate grilled cheese could have stood some more Brie, but it was so delicious and such a great combination of flavors and textures with the strawberry sauce. We finished off the night with champagne rimmed with white chcolate and pink sugar sprinkles for me. Very sweet, flirty, and girly. My husband had the banana bread beer in a pint glass rimmed with caramel. It was so surprisingly good that we're going to try and make it at home. Soon. We actually enjoyed the question cards on the table. There are goofy ones if you're with a group, just getting to know each other, or are a more playful couple. Then there are more romantic and cheeky questions for those of you looking for romance. Next time we're in Key West, we'll definitely make time for another romantic evening at Better Than Sex.

To answer the obvious question; no, eating here is not really better than sex. The ambience here makes it maybe the best date spot anywhere. Also assisting is the selection of trivia cards that would make a great ice-breaker if you actually come here on a date. Anyway, as far at the comparison with sex, the cookie nookie pie does come a close second. It's a kind of combination of pie, chocolate chip cookie and gooey melting dark chocolate. Why can't my doctor recommend I eat these daily? I don't hesitate to say it's the best dessert dish I've ever had in a restaurant. Absolutely amazing. I also tried the Caramel Over Me, which I didn't really want to say out loud in Key West. AS I recall, it was a muscato with caramel all over the rim. Not bad, but not all that spectacular either. The wife tried Kelly's Klimax, which was equally not bad, but not that spectacular. We brought our 6-yr-old daughter along. This isn't something I recommend in general, but it was okay since we were kind of earlyish and it was a weeknight. She had a root beer float which was phenomenal. Five big stars, the same score as actual sex.

Delicious and creative desserts in a romantic setting! This restaurant features decadent desserts with "naughty" names and descriptions. The setting is candle-light with ech table having its own chandelier and flash lites handy so you can read th menu. A fun place for couples on a romantic night out. The portions are large enough to share. As for the food: OMG- best dessert place in town for sure! Key lime was heaven, let me repeat-HEAVEN! I also had a porter beer with a chocolate rim. My friend had the creme brule and a chocolate rimmed glass of wine. The dark atmosphere is super sexy! We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender, Matthew, as we waited for our table, and he was awesome, a total sweetheart. This place is definitely worth looking for! We went with another couple and stayed maybe 2 hours justbecause the ambiance was so inviting, and each table has conversation-starting games and we were having such a good time. I'd drive 5 hrs again just to et to them .

Tammy K.

it's all about the anticipated adventure you are going to have, being able to say you had dessert here. Regardless of how good, or not the dessert was, the time we had is irreplaceable. what fun. definitely a must do on your list. It's hard for us to rate food because we own a restaurant, so our palette is educated to what things are and how they are prepared. We appreciate certain preparation methods know when shortcuts are taken. Either way, it doesn't matter, we enjoyed it immensely.

Julio M.

I highly recommend you visit this place when in key west. It's dark and romantic. The waitresses describe all of the deserts using sexual innuendos. You can have sex on the table while waiting for your food--just kidding--unfortunately. The desserts and drinks are unique and memorable. I had the banana bread beer served in a chilled glass with a molten caramel rim. Wow! I'm still craving it days later. The port with the Carmel rim was also very good. The chocolate French toast dipped in a strawberry champaign sauce was a standout. A happy ending is guaranteed. We left filled and satisfied.

Drinks were amazing and deserts were phenomenal. Don't leave Key West without trying this place out! Menus on iPads were a great addition, as it was nice to see what the drinks and deserts looked like. The Brie and Chocolate grilled cheese sounded strange, but was one of the most delicious deserts I've ever tried. SO GOOD! The cookie nookie was great, but in comparison to the grilled cheese was just good. Totally worth the stop. We had made reservations and glad we did. We saw some people were waiting for almost an hour for a table without reservations.

Food: You have to have a sweet tooth to really enjoy this place. Our waitress informed us that the desserts are all made in-house by the owner. That is impressive! I sampled the Team Cream (crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e), Chocolate Grilled Cheese, and Raspberry Sorbet. They were each incredible on their own - even the sorbet. I don't think I've ever had sorbet I cared to try again until now. Service: The host was incredibly friendly. Our waitress was attentive but never obtrusive. Yes, the sexual innuendos are over-played a bit here. I could see that being annoying to some diners. That would be my only criticism and it's a light criticism at that. Drinks: We also ordered Lindsay's Lavender Lip-Stick and Choco Milk. Both were excellent and inventive. Ambiance: This place is ultra dark. So dark they give you your own flashlight to use and their menus light up themselves so you can read them. It does serve as a romantic feel though so I am not complaining. Other Notes: Make a reservation. We went on a Monday night and there was a 35-minute wait. If you don't make a reservation, they will text you when a table is ready so you can explore the area a little bit. Overall, I will definitely be back to visit this place. I also recommend it to others.

This place is FANTASTIC!!! Great ambience and a hilarious menu. Mandy's Man Candy is very tasty. I must say the strawberry Fruli Belgium white beer is without a doubt one of the best flavored beers available. It has won some awards and it deserves it so. This beer goes very well with the dark chocolate rimmed glass. Chocolate and strawberries who doesn't like that combination in bed? I had the Better than Sex with a serving of zinfandel port wine, as recommended by the waitress. What a wonderful dessert combination! Thank you waitress :) A spoon of the smooth creamy deep dark chocolate pumpernickel bread pudding brushed with the creamy chocolate truffle mousse into the orifice followed with a small simple sweet kiss of zinfandel port was dare I say, "Better than sex ;)" Knowing me I would have found some way to put the two together and have a threesome. This place deserves every award it won. If you are in Key West this place is a must!

Great place to take your special someone with a sweet tooth. Bring your girlfriend or go with another couple. Don't bring your mother like the table next to us did unless she knows your a whore. (Dear, what is a rim job? Well, mom ......) This is a desert and specialty drink only style restaurant where each item has a name related to a sex act. I had a vodka with espresso that had white chocolate around the rim. Also had a peanut butter cake. Both were fantastic. The menu isn't big and neither is the place. Very, very dark. Also very busy, so get reservations and get some very easy brownie points.

Teri F.

This is a great place with a clever idea and menu!!! I really enjoyed the desserts and the lovely and helpful wait staff...The Key Lime Pie was excellent. I loved the ice cream although it wasn't made on the premises. I didn't think the Cookie Nookie Pie was that great. The other issue was you are definitely paying big bucks for the ambiance...But it was a fun experience and I went with my 21 year old daughter...So there! P.S. The menu's were really cool.

If you don't like this place, something is VERY wrong with you. Seriously. Perhaps you're Leona Helmsley reincarnated, or someone like that. First off, this place should be scouted for a movie location. Very dark and sexy the moment you walk in. I kept thinking Antonio Banderas was over in a corner, undressing me with his eyes. Yes, me, a middle aged---oh never mind about me. My husband and I ordered "Team Cream." I can't even describe it to you. I'm a type 2 diabetic. I had to pop a Metformin right away because of this dish. My husband had a wonderful wine. THE GLASS WAS COATED IN FREAKIN' CHOCOLATE. I took a lick, probably resembling Honey Boo-Boo's mother on a bender. Didn't care. This place is (dare I use a Kardashian term?) amazing. The service was stellar. They even put a note and a candle on our dish to celebrate my birthday that was the day before. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE.

Keely J.

This was one of the best and romantic times had by my husband and me as newlyweds. The dishes were unique and decadent; the drinks were phenomenal. We tried the grilled cheese & chocolate (Brie cheese with melted chocolate on warm bread and a side of strawberry soup for dipping) and the Better Than Sex cake. Both were fantastic accompanied with a stout beer dipped in chocolate. It was a wonderful time and astonishing atmosphere.

Rachel M.

Sorry yelp world. This place was not me. Don't get me wrong. I love Chocolate and I love drinks, and desserts sweets, etc. But it just didn't grab my attention. What we ordered was pretty blah, and my drink was just ok. They just turned off all the lights and put the candles on. That's definitely kind of scary. You can barely see in front of you, and instead of being nice and intimate, I just heard echos of peoples conversations. Ugh. was not my cup of tea, or glass of chocolate wine, or sweet place to be. My fave chocolate bar is still in Savannah GA! I wish I can find one by my house though, but then maybe not bc I would be there all the time.

Amanda D.

OH MY GOSH IS IT?? Well... My husband and I were on our honeymoon, so (Dad don't read this) No, no it wasn't. BUT it was pretty damn delicious. I eat gluten-free and they have a wonderful flourless chocolate torte that has a kinky name (like all the others) that has nothing to do with what it tastes like. The place is very dark and romantic, of course--and you get your own flashlights. We had a sweet white wine dipped in caramel, (I'd hate to wash dishes here) it was wonderful. They also have cards from random party games on the table in case you don't want to talk about sex, (Edit: In case you are boring). Overall, I'd go here again, even if it was pretty expensive.

This is an amazing place to have dessert in Key West. I had the French Ice Cream and my companion had the Red Velvet Cheesecake. The Ice Cream was superb and the Cheesecake made me have plate envy, it was just fabulous. Two tips: this place is so hot you must make reservations, and if at least two of you want to drink wine consider a bottle of Moscato. Moscato is a sweet wine and for $25.00 it came with a caramel rimmed glass for both of us. The bottle was a good deal as you will linger over your dessert and enjoy every last morsel of it. We even had one of the nicest waitresses on earth, Kelly. If you enjoy dessert you must try this place.

My only complaint is that this place is so popular!!!! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and came around 8pm and the hostess said that they were all booked up until 11pm. So we waited to see if we can order at the bar and was waiting for space outside. Then one of the waiters actually told us if we wanted, we could order and eat on the chair on the street. Score. Then he said by law he has to get us actually inside the restaurant so he brought out a table and squeezed us right on the porch area. What an awesome waiter. We got a kama sutra book that we were reading while the food was coming out. I think since we didn't have a reservation we didn't get the whole dining experience but the couple next to us was playing some sort of sex game with cards they got and their waiter would come by and make sexual references regarding their food. Funny. Anyway, we got really simple dishes since we both don't really drink. However, I heard their drinks with the chocolate rim are fantastic but we didn't get it but if you go, you should. Husband ordered the "better than sex" which was a master chef winner in 09 which was dark chocolate with cherries baked in pumpernickel bead and butter. Then there is a bread pudding which melts in your mouth and a chocolate truffle mousse. Oh and read the menu, the wording of it is genius! I must admit, I'm not a huge fan of desserts. Savory food is my thing. However, I do like white chocolate so I ordered the perfect panther which is frozen vanilla bean ice cream drizzled with white chocolate. It was amazing!!! My husband's dessert was amazing too and he wound up also ordering what I got! hahhaa. And get this, the total bill was under $20. Score!!!!

Brian M.

Worth going to. Fun romantic place. Very dark and different. I recommend going late at nite. Wines by the glass were mediocre but it didnt really matter because they are overshadowed by the awesome taste of the chocolate on the rims of the glasses. Cool idea. In my opinion this is a couples place and not a place for friends and families.... Definitely for couples or maybe a double date. That being said, I wish the owner would have not allowed that annoying crying baby into this romantic and unique place. Absolutely destroyed the vibe. No crying baby in a low lit late nite key west romantic spot would have given this place 5 stars....

Demetrios K.

This is such a great idea the service is tips. The waitress was so good to set the mood and she set the mood. The dessert was DElicious!! Ask them to give you a Rim job it's what their known for. Have a romantic evening. The will do parties of 4 but this is a couples place We are going again, make sure to make reservations!

B S.

Everything about this place is sexy, from the creatively named desserts to the caramel dipped glasses you lick shamelessly. Were they the hands down best desserts of my life? No. But the unique ambiance, knowledgeable service tasty dishes make me a fan. As a table we tried 7 desserts and my favorites were the raspberry truffle and the donut holes. We had no trouble making reservations in advance for our party of 6.

Nick R.

This place should be on your must go list in key west. It is well worth the wait so my advice is to make a reservation. The iPad menu is a great idea. It's very romantic and great experience. The staff was great, nice, sweet and informative. I recommend the doughnuts.

Aurora N.

This place has all the markings of a pretentious tourist trap. Overpriced menu, people lining up around the block, and a gimmick. I say this with love as I really quite like the place and I'm cool with a gimmick as long as the food can back it up, and they do! It is so dark in here that you're handed a flashlight along with the menu. After perusing the menu for a minute or two we settled on the Peanut Butter Perversion. Was it better than sex? I dare not say, but for those lazy nights when looking hot means putting on chapstick, it fits the bill. The dessert was f*cking amazingballs. On top of that I'm dying to go back, as it was soooooo busy we ended up getting take out instead of waiting an hour for a table. It would be nice to go with a group and order a few desserts. The one we had was easily enough for 2-4. I will conquer the chocolate grilled cheese next time....oh yes I will.

Tricia M.

We came here on the recommendation of a waiter at another restaurant. It was amazing! We each had a "rim job." The banana hammock is a caramel rimmed glass with Well's Banana Bread beer. The choco cab is a chocolate rimmed glass of cabernet. Both were delicious! (Hard to replicate once you leave paradise, though...) We split a banana bazooka. It was amazing! Don't ignore the non-chocolate options! One thing that I really liked about this place was that they text you when your table is ready. You can either make a reservation or walk-in to do the texting thing. It was awesome. We went for a walk and came back 40 minutes later. A really fun way to spend a late night if you're in KW for a few days.

Cool menu at first site, then comes the super kind and friendly service. We were called 'virgins' cuz it was our first time there :P Anyways, had the best Cookie Nookie Pie there, and Michelle's Multiple Entry was good but a little sweet for my boyfriend. LOVE this place, and it's better to reserve before you go.

They prep and bake everything in the morning and serve earth-shattering creations 6pm - Midnight. Slightly off Duval, I recommend EVERYone to stop in. Intimate and sultry, ideal for couples and small parties, absolutely the perfect way to end your night out!

Tripp W.

For my 200th review, I can't think of a more deserving place than Better Than Sex, which coincidentally isn't better than sex. They make a valiant effort though and throw in plenty of sexual innuendo for good measure. First off, this establishment is not for the shy. That said..... BTS is right down the street from Blue Heaven posed inconspicuously as a quaint little restaurant. We walked by in the day time and barely noticed the place. At night on the other hand, BTS's windows emit a red glow calling you inside for a peak. Upon entering, I highly suggest taking a seat at the bar. Not only was our service amazing, but you get to talk to the highly eclectic group of patrons that frequent BTS. Fascinating! The bartender was hilarious. He really played into the innuendo I mentioned above. All the desserts and drinks (rim jobs) had naughty names with equally leading descriptions. There was even a full library of sex how-to books and games to peruse while waiting. Just reading over the menu was an event. Jadyn's Gyration , Caramel 'Over Me', Jungle Fever, and Team Cream; the list goes on. After much deliberation, we went with: The "Choco-Port" - Port in a dark chocolate rimmed glass. Orgasmic/sublime combination. I can't believe I haven't seen this elsewhere. Carley's Button - Great sparkling red with a dark chocolate rim with a white chocolate button. Yummy and sweet. Better Than Sex - I am a chocolate freak and folks, it doesn't get much better than this. Several types of chocolate, bread, cake and cherries in one amazing baked combination. It took a little while for my eyes to reattach after the first bite. Voomish Violette - Two huge scoops of lavender and rose water ice cream. Rich and light at the same time. Prefect to offset the choco-bomb BTS cake. I can't say enough good things about BTS. The fabulous service, drinks, and dessert were all world class. Do yourself a favor when in Key West and make the trip. Your taste buds and naughty parts will clash in an epic argument on who got it 'the best'.

Came here because I love the name of the restaurant and felt like it's a must-go in Key West. I went with my bf for dinner, because I figured it was gonna be super heavy. The desserts and drinks we got was awesome, and I liked that how they made everything sex related (the shape of the melting Chocolate cake). One thing I still haven't figured out is when is a good time to go there, because all of their desserts are humongous, and it was too heavy even as a meal. If you are going there, I would recommend you eat something ahead of time for the sake of your tummy. Also, make sure you make reservation before you go, this place is very popular!

After having an amazing casual dinner on Duval Street, I was searching yelp for a dessert place/bakery. I went here thinking it was just a casual place to grab a piece of key lime pie. I was wrong, pleasantly so, but wrong nevertheless. This place is a total experience, probably best for a couple. It's very dimly lit, and each table is in a nice little alcove. The menus are very cool - because it is so dark, the menus are backlit when you open them. I went with the recommendation of most yelpers, and got the brie and chocolate grilled cheese sandwich, and was not disappointed in the slightest. I probably wouldn't go back as casually as I did tonight on my own, but if I were on a date, or with a small group of friends, I would definitely go back here!

Decadent and a bit sinful...Better than Sex offers tantalizing options in a dim, romantic setting. Smooth soft jazz filters through the speakers, while the menu is filled with not-particularly subtle innuendos. Deep merlot hues on the walls, pictures of women in various states of undress, eclectic chandeliers and mounds of wax dripping candles, Better than Sex manages to set the perfect scene of seduction. We didn't make reservations, and I guess that we might have just gotten lucky, because it definitely did manage to fill up quickly. This is a desserts only spot, although they do offer a chocolate and brie sandwich that they said was "more on the savory side." To drink I went with the "Caramel Over Me" a glass of white muscato in a caramel dipped glass. I have to confess I have no idea how they got the drips to form so perfectly and yet while I was drinking it didn't ooze down any more and it manged to keep its shape. The caramel was possibly the best I've had EVER, absolutely yummy! My boyfriend went with the "Kelly's Climax," which was a sparkling red moscato in a white chocolate rimmed glass, and he still can't stop raving about how delicious it was. The waiter told us that it actually is sent from Italy and they have to ship it to New York before it is sent to them. For the dessert (or entree I guess at a dessert and drinks bar), we went with the "Between my Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake" and the Jungle Fever. One probably would have sufficed since the two with the wine was quite a lot (I ended up taking most of mine to go). The red velvet was actually a combination of red velvet and cheesecake with cream cheese whipped cream (they said frosting but it was much lighter than that), and was tasted like perhaps a hint of amaretto? It was thick, creamy and pretty good, but it wasn't the best thing I've ever had. The jungle fever was like a chocolate bomb, with hot melted chocolate oozing out from warm chocolate cake that contrasted with the cold vanilla ice cream that accompanied it. It was a good combination and my boyfriend loved it. This is a unique place with lots of delicious treats. It is a bit off the beaten path, which helps keep it from feeling solely like a tourist spot. Makes for a fun, romantic and sultry place that would be nice for a date, make a great bachelorette party stop, or just a provocative place to satisfy your sweet tooth! Just a warning though, it really isn't the most kid-friendly spot, so you may want to leave them at home!

This was ok. I don't understand all the hype about it. I wish I would have had a great experience like all the other Yelpers. The drinks are yummy but the desserts were mediocre at best and way over priced. And I LOVE dessert. I really wanted to love this place but was not impressed.

One word (Devine), maybe up there with celestial with each bite! As "foodies", we have found many of the fine dining establishments in Key West lacking in food taste and presentation. This restaurant is the exception, and is absolutely fantastic in taste, presentation, and outstanding wait staff. We made two trips during our stay and will return. You must include this in your dining repetoire.

Better than sex?? Their key lime pie is not even better than a Snickers at your local 7-11. This place is overrated and gets business thru a gimmicky name.

Only negative is that I cannot give a bonus star! My wife and I came here for dessert for our 15th anniversary and what a way to the day! We walked into this unique, romantic, and intimate place and were greeted by one of the owners Len, which is always a good way to start. Hint-make a rsvp as the word is out about how awesome this place is...We had coffee with mugs dipped in chocolate and drizzled with caramel which was a very unique and awesome way to serve. We also had the "better than sex" chocolate bread pudding, and the grilled brie cheese with chocolate and raspberry sauce for dipping which were both recommended by our awesome waitress Marguerite. Just looking around at the other desserts ordered at the other tables, I am sure they are all great, and these two were fantastic!! The owners Len and Dani share a wonderful passion which certainly shows and wears off on the creativity and quality of this unique dessert restaurant. Do not go to Key West without going here or you are missing out!! I only wish there was another one closer to where we live in Palm Beach County....

We walked in on a Friday night thinking we had a reservation. We had came a day early and they were nice enough to seat us anyway. The place was so dark they show you to your seats with a flash light. They give you a flash light to read the menu. It was fun and I couldn't wait to read the menu. There were four of us and we all got something different and shared; chocolate grilled cheese, peanut butter perversion, Jungle Fever and some amazing salted caramel popcorn special that tasted like sex in your mouth. I tried everything and it was all amazing. I am not even a fan of peanut butter and I even liked the peanut butter dessert. We also had the Mascato with glasses dipped in caramel. Seriously? Why didn't I think of that? It really went well with the dinner. I still have dreams about that Mascato. Our server was fun and seemed to enjoy the theme. We fed right into it being four single girls that seem to have an issue with "appropriate dinner conversation." This place was perfect for us. They only serve dessert and I would leave the kids at home for this one. It was so fun and such a different place. I can't wait to go back.

Very romantic, very sensual desserts great place for a date night ending. We shared the cookie nookie, chocolate chip cookie heaven!! Can't wait to go back and sample some more of their sinful desserts!

Come here hungry and ready to loosen your belt or unbutton your pants. This place is one to experience if in KW. Great place for a romantic after dinner spot. The lighting and music makes it such a calming atmosphere. Nobody talks loud even during a full house. All of the drinks are chocolate rimmed and the deserts are made fresh the same day. They are closed Tuesday TIP: make sure you RSVP and you stick to the time. The owners that will check you in plays no games with RSVP and time.

Took my wife here for our 6 year wedding anniversary on our weekend trip to Key West. WOW! I had no idea what to expect, and this place surpassed all my expectations. Lets start with the service. I wish I could remember our waitresses name, but it escapes me at the moment. She was fantastic! Extremely helpful and attentive. We started things off with a bottle of prosecco. Our wine glasses were dipped in dark chocolate. Insane. Talk about romantic and sexy. Our desserts were top notch. My wife had some cookie / pie dessert and I had one called "Jungle Fever". We couldn't decide which was better. They were that good. The atmosphere was fantastic too. They cater to couples, so there were no obnoxious loud people, no kids, just lots of quiet couples enjoying a romantic evening. Very dark lit room (they give you small flashlights to view the menu). An overall great experience. We can't imagine going back to Key West and not stopping here for a night of desserts. Kudos to them for asking if we were celebrating a special occasion. They brought our desserts out with a special "happy anniversary" note. Very nice touch!

I was very happy with this place. My friend and I were staying at a hotel about a 15 minute walk away. We weren't sure if we were going in the right direction because we heard that the restaurant moved to a new location and GPS was only showing the old location. They had a red light outside, which looked really cool from a distance. Once we saw the red light, we knew that we were heading in the right direction. The dim lighting and velvet decor made for a very romantic atmosphere. However, my friend and I aren't THAT close! She liked the place so much that we went back a few nights later. We only stayed in Key West for 6 nights! I hope to visit Key West next summer. If so, I definitely will bring my boyfriend here. Their desserts are so incredibly delicious and the drinks are very good.

Such a fun place. A must if you have a smaller bachelorette party or girls weekend. Everything was delicious, but you might walk away with a stomach ache. Order desserts to split, as the drinks are sweet enough!

A special place where to eat delicious desserts. As the name implies this place wants to have a romantic and erotic atmosphear. They do not go too far and the place is very enjoyable. The service is good and polite, the desserts are very very good. The drinks are served in glasses bordered in chocolate which makes them special. They do not turn on the lights, instead you have a candle at your table and they provide you with a flashlight to look at the menu, very nice! This is a very nice place to go eat a dessert with your special one and I fully recommend it.

Shannon K.

AhMAzing. Service was wonderful, ambiance is even better. We showed up on time for our reservation and were seated promptly. High tech iPad menu is really fun, along with the games at the table. I started with the white chocolate dipped moscato and boyfriend had the chocolate dipped strawberry beer. You can definitely split a dessert, but why would you want to? I ordered the chocolate grilled cheese, he ordered the cookie nookie- mine was better. Ended with the caramel apple beer which was actually my favorite part. Maybe a tad overpriced but the entire experience is what you're paying for. Go, you won't be sorry.

It's 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. You can't help but smile (or silently chuckle) at the oversexualized descriptions of the dishes. My girl and I were surprised and eager to try their chocolate rimmed cocktails, this included beer. We were in heaven. My lady chose a blueberry wheat beer with a white chocolate rimmed glass and I ordered a vanilla stout with dark chocolate rim. Ugh, delicious. The desserts were good, not brilliant, but noteworthy. I went with the red velvet cheesecake or as this place put it, "Between My Red Velvet Sheets" cheesecake ($12.69). Red velvet sheets...ouch. My lady chose her tried and true dessert go-to, a brownie. Oh, but not any brownie, the "Jungle Fever" brownie ($11.69). I've got to reference the description of this one... "Smooth. Soft. Supple. A warm chocolate brownie body oozing a dark pudding. Rubbing up against cool white vanilla bean balls." And scene.

Great date night spot about 10 seconds off the beaten path of Duval, but a world away. Dark, romantic, sexy, inviting. We had to wait for a table, but the host was extremely friendly and offered a few suggestions to kill time. Much sooner than we had anticipated, we were led to a cozy table for two, and presented with a stack of menus. Our order: Two Mandy's Man Candy (Strawberry beer with a chocolate rimmed pint glass) A peanut butter perversion and a chocolate grilled cheese. The peanut butter pie was silky, and had a light peanut flavor - very good. The chocolate grilled cheese was brie and chocolate on cinnamon toast. So good, and a fairly simple re-creation at home! During our time here, a very obnoxious, very large group came in. One of the group members made a mess of the mens room, likely sponsored by Jose Cuervo. Management handled the issue immedeately, and Sir Sipsalot left. Unfortunately, the table was still extremely loud and I felt they should have been asked to leave.

This place is worth every penny. From the friendly staff and waiters to the raunchy (named) menu items, it's the perfect place for a romantic evening, sprinkled with a few dirty jokes and delicious "rim jobs."

Just go. Keep it simple. It's a must see. They look to keep things extremely intimate so they encourage parties of 4 or less. The amount of creativity this places entailed is amazing. The drinks, menu items (clever names), reading material offered and the actual desserts are all worth 5 stars. The service is also exceptional. If you don't enjoy eating sweets I am confused as to why you would choice a DESSERT restaurant to visit during your stay. Perfect for a special occasion.

Oh my goodness, GO!! What a sexy food experience. To drink, we had the homemade Kahlua with White Chocolate Mouse topping and Cookie Nookie Pie ($11.69) Here was the Menu Description: You'll be sure to "Get Some" Nookie when you spoon up this sweetie. Imagine the inside of a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven being wrapped up in a fluffy blanket of flakey pie crust. Wrapped up inside you'll find bits of chocolate pieces, pecans and ooey gooey goodness. Served with a vanilla bean ball nestled along side.

Really delicious and a lovely "dark" restaurant. The desserts are amazing and the drinks are creative. Must try the "better than the sex".

For the last two years Chris and I have visited Better Than Sex every labor day weekend. The first year (2010) we ordered the Chocolate & Brie Grilled Cheese which was divine. If memory serves we ordered a milk stout from Lefthand and I ordered a glass of milk with a rim job of chocolate. The second time (2011) we ordered the red velvet cheesecake (Between my red velvet sheets) and that was amazing. Each time we went we had a group with us so we got to try a lot of different desserts including the Jungle Fever, the Cookie Nookie, the Peanut Butter Perversion, and other various items. Everything was incredible. I love this place and each time we make the trip to the Keys I will demand we go here. Also I can't stress enough to ask for Kelly as your server. I am a little biased as I know her personally but she is an incredible personality who really plays on the tongue-in-cheek names and sexyness of the sex talk. And you could try her drink too... Kelly's Klimax!!!

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. Unfortunately it was disappointing. I gave it 2 stars for originality. The atmosphere is great. Cozy, sexy, romantic. The menu is on iPads so you can see in the dimly lit restaurant. Which is unique to most places. The presentation of the desserts well done. Service good. However, thats where the good part ends for me. My husband and I each had different desserts. I had the flour less chocolate cake, as Im gluten free. There were hardly any options for anyone gluten free. Ive had tons of different flour less chocolate cake over the years, since Im gluten free. This was really bad, its hard for me to say that, because I have a sweet tooth. The chocolate cake almost had a waxy taste to it. For me, I found it inedible. I felt bad sending it back. So my husband gave me his custard and he had the cake. He found it equally disappointing, and actually didn't feel well after eating it. I wanted to order a white russian with my dessert. You would think that would be a drink you would be able to order there. No, could not accommodate it. Instead they gave me some baileys drink. It was also horrible. It was on the room temp side, and I barely had any of it. My husband had a hard root beer float. He said it was mediocre. They look like they have a great selection of desserts to choose from. Im just not sure the taste, will match the presentation of what you get. The price is a real downer too......after paying close to $50 with tip for 2 desserts and 2 drinks, I know I would def. skip going here again. You can get so much better quality desserts else where and for half the price.

The name says it all! Even if you are one of those strange people who doesn't like dessert, you will find something here.. You may even change your opinion on sweets! The decor is intimate and pretty and the girls who work there are super sweet and adorable. We were considered "virgins" since it was our first time. Upon opening the menu which lights up, you will experience an overwhelming feeling of wanting to order everything on the menu. I went with the Choco cab which was Cabernet with a chocolate "rim job". For my dessert I had the chocolate grilled cheese and my boyfriend had the "between my red velvet sheets" cheesecake... Obviously he shared with me! This place was simply amazing and a must for anybody visiting the island.

I loved that this place is candle lit, legitimately candle lit, not like low lighting for mood, but actual candles only. I ordered some peanut butter pie that was just divine and my friend ordered some red velvet cake that was just as good. They staff was friendly and I enjoyed that each table had conversational cards.

Very fun place! A unique experience, the restaurant is very very dark with backlit menus (so cool!). The service is great! Our waitress Kelly was sassy and spunky and added to the overall experience. There are only desserts and drinks on the menu and we loved everything we ordered. Great place for a late night treat!

We almost didn't go to Better Than Sex. We had eaten a late-ish lunch and having been warned about how large their desserts were, we were worried we may be too full. We decided to call and try to make a reservation for 8pm on a Friday night. The host said that he was booked full for 8pm, but we could come anyways and we'd only have to wait 15 minutes at worst for a table. Fine by us. We arrive a little before 8pm and were immediately shown a table in the corner. SCORE! Based on some previous reviews, we were expecting it to be a little darker inside than it really was. Yes, there are flashlights on the tables for you to read the menu. Many people will need them, but they're not 100% necessary. The other thing that immediately surprised us is how well the noise from outside was blocked out. There was a Caribbean street party going on literally outside the front door, and we couldn't hear any of it. Our waitress, Kelly, came by and explained the concept and told us the highlights of the menu. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about everything. We both got chocolate rimmed glasses of wines and desserts. Everything we had was excellent. All the chocolates, wines and desserts were paired perfectly. True to the stories, the desserts were huge. A couple could probably share one. Where Better Than Sex falls down is in the atmosphere. Yes, the sexual innuendo and dining by candlelight should be perfect, and it almost is. But the tables are a little close together. The tables aren't all couples either - there were parties of four and six nearby. Lastly, while it wasn't "Live Jazz Night" according to the calendar, there was a live jazz guitarist playing. To me, his jazz was a little upbeat and lively for what should have been a more romantic setting. That said, Better Than Sex is a great experience that deserves to be tried.

I was really looking forward to BTS and expected an intimate setting. We were seated next to two tables full of couples -- the wives were at one table while the husbands sat at another. Yeah, SO romantic! We did the wine served in candy-dipped glasses. It's tasty and fun at first. The caramel dripped all the way down the stem and my hand got sticky in a non-sexy way. They do give you little hand wipes, so yay. I asked about gluten-free options and was directed to the only GF thing on the menu. If this were a traditional restaurant with four or five desserts, I'd be happy with the one GF option. But for a restaurant that does nothing but desserts, and already knows how to do one GF thing, it'd make sense to do more. That being said, the tongue bath truffle was delicious. We also got a side of the violette ice cream. It tasted like Violette candies.

Love, love, love!!! The decor and ambiance are what you might expect- low light, beautiful chandeliers, and lots of red and lace accents on the walls/windows. The service was great and the drinks and desserts were so good! Chocolate rimmed glasses for most wines and beers (my wine glass was also dipped in a sugar-chili spice mix). I had the grilled cheese, my husband had the fondue, and our friends had the key lime pie and chocolate cake. But my description doesn't do the place any justice. Better Than Sex is a must-do!

This is such a cool amazing restaurant. It felt like an adult dessert restaurant. We happen to come on the last day of life as they know it at their original location on Petronia St.. Tonight they will will moving down to a new home on Simonton St. They put it out there on Facebook for everyone to come join in on their moving crawl party from the original spot to their new home. It sounded so much fun but we didn't stay. We did however feast on Jungle Fever and Peanut butter perversion and they were great. I had a homemade ginger soda with caramel drizzled all over the glass..it was amazing!! This is a very romantic delicious experience you must try! It is travel channel recommended and one of a kind!

This desert lounge has a nice sexy ambiance, deserts that conotate sexual innuendos and drinks to match. Pricey, but you pay for the desert quality and the strain of reading in the dark. Lol all about the experience, but not better than actual Intercourse, cuz that is actually free. one star for lying to me

I went with a large group of girls for a bachelorette getaway at Key West in late Feb. 2012 and we went to this place one night for desserts and drinks. We had a fabulous time, the desserts were delicious and the drinks were addicting! Here's a run down of the desserts we got: Better than Sex - Their signature dessert, was UNBELIEVABLE! The pudding was divine and the creamy sauce just completed the dish. I ended up going once more before our vacation was over just to get another one of these desserts. Peanut Butter Perversion - If you love peanut butter, GET THIS! It's decadent, creamy, smooth peanut buttery goodness! Grilled Cheese - This dessert was really delicious and addicting. At first I was reluctant to dip it in the raspberry sauce, but the sauce really compliments the grilled cheese well. Key Lime Pie - Out of all the desserts this wasn't the favorite. I didn't try it because I don't care for Key lime pie, but the others who tried it were not impressed. They were shocked because considering this is located in the capital of key lime desserts, they thought it would blow them away. I can't name all of the drinks all of us got because it was just too many. All I remember was "Mandy's Man Candy" my drink of choice, which was just amazing. It's strawberry beer served in a glass with a chocolate rim job, it was just really delicious. Most of the other girls got different wines in rimmed glasses and they were all happy with their choices. All in all, I can't wait to return to Key west, I will definitely be going back to "Better than Sex"!

Jo A.

The desserts are really bad. We had the dessert sampler, which include their best three dessert samples - red velvet cheese cake, bread pudding, and chocalate moist cake. Very disappointing, below average. Since I really like desserts, so I decided to give another of their favorite items a try- grilled chocolate cheese. But this one is even more disappointing. The bread is not toasty, chocolate is too bitter and cheese is not creamy and way overpower by the chocolate. Overall, this place is very gimmicky. It's more for show than for real good dessert. If this is better than sex, then human being is miserable.

Well obviously the name caught our attention. Actually, more than the name, the look of the place draws attention, with its dark windows and red lights. The concept of a dessert restaurant was definitely intriguing so we gave it a shot. Make a reservation. We had to wait half an hour to be seated. First thing you'll notice is that it's very dark and romantic. You sit down in little closed off booth things lit only by a single candle. The menu are unusually heavy backlit things. All the items have silly sexual names, and even sillier sexual descriptions, using every vaguely intimate verb and adjective there is. A little tiring. We ordered the Banana bazooka (not sexy at all actually) and the Between the red velvet sheets (or something like that). Here's our impressions: She said: The waitress was very... umm... informative. She went off talking about everything on the menu placing emphasis on the sexual things like the chocolate rimmed glasses they "rim jobbed." Needless to say, I was giggling by the time she asked me what I wanted. Unfortunately, they don't carry skim milk but they do have whole if you don't mind making do. At this point, you're not really thinking about calories. Anywho, the banana bazooka was pretty good. It has a light cinnamony taste mixed in with the creamy banana richness. It's kind of odd to define. It wasn't exactly a cake or a crepe but kind of in between but then again it was dark as hell and I couldn't see anything. When I opened the leftovers the next day it just looked like a giant gooey mess which was still very good. It also came with some sugar glass and some sort of caramel dip which were both very good. The red velvet between my sheets (or whatever) was meh. It was a good cheesecake but in all that darkness, I couldn't tell that I was eating red velvet. The ambiance is unlike any other place I've been. It's dark and sexy and mysterious. With each table surrounded by its own little privacy wall. I wonder what that restaurant looks like in full light... Anyway, a one of kind experience that's worth stopping in for. He said: Banana thing was gooood. Crepe and all that added some nice texture and banana flavor really stood out. Red velvet was ok, like she said, a good cheesecake but nothing more. I don't "get" red velvet. I don't even know why I ordered it, maybe I was hypnotized by all the red in the lighting. One thing she didn't mention is that were were both sweeted out by the end and had to take the rest back to the hotel with us. Definitely worth checking out. Next time I'm getting the peanut butter perversion (jesus christ). Also, pretty racist to call the chocolate and vanilla mixture dish "Jungle fever".

I guess the big question that *everyone* asks is... "well, was it?" And like the answer in true life, I guess it depends on who or in this case what you had. I started with the Jadyn's Gyration, a Rogue Mocha Porter beer that received a rim job (that's what they call it) of dark Belgium chocolate around the glass. It gave the Rogue an extra hint of chocolate that it naturally has and at the same time made a mess all over my face with each sip. They'll do any glass with any beverage rimmed in dark or white chocolate or caramel. Everyone at the bar besides me was having an Adult Apple - cider with a caramel rim. The special tonight was a chocolate grilled cheese sandwich served with a side of prosecco infused strawberry soup. It was a People's Choice winner that the master chef had created for a recent contest. Damn was it tasty. It was one of those deserts, even I couldn't finish! French toast with a mixture of rich dark chocolate and brie cheese coating the insides while confectioner's sugar laid on top waiting for you to dig in face first. The soup was mind blowing and I wish it came in a bigger portion - it was served in a small tea cup. The prosecco gave it a light, bubbly, cooling taste while the pureed strawberries made your taste buds come alive and stand straight up. I wish I knew how they made it and yes, I will be experimenting at home trying to perfect this one. Enjoy!

Looking to escape the noisy tourist bars, we got a local recommendation for this place. Was she ever right! Incredibly fun and sexy. We didn't have a reservation but were invited to sit at the bar. As mentioned, it is incredibly dark, and you're given flashlights to read the menu. Sexy interior with red walls, and... wait, is that a giant purple dildo behind the bar?!? Why yes it is! We shared an Adult Apple, which is Ephemere beer in a glass rimmed with caramel. Absolutely delicious and fully decadent. We also shared the Peanut Butter Perversion, a huge slice of pie with delicately whipped silk pie on a cookie dough crust. Just what the doctor ordered.

Megan B.

What a unique place!! We double dated here because of all these yelp reviews and we were suprised!! We made reservations, and I'm glad we did because they were booked! It is very dark, they give you flash lights to view the menu, but there are fun card games...it was our first time here "Virgins" is what we were called, but the waitress was super fun and told us about every thing. This place isn't for kids, unless you want to explain to your kid what an orgasm cheesecake is, or a rim job on a strawberry beer. Lol. It's kinda expensive, but we were on vacation, it was a lot of fun!

I had passed by this place almost daily while peddling back and forth to work. It always looked interesting, so I decided to finally check it out. The prices which range from about $8-$14 for a desert seemed a bit high, but for something exceptional that price range is acceptable. The ambience and staff are both excellent. I ordered a warm brownie with ice cream, it had a much more exotic name.. but I just can't remember what they called it. Nothing exotic here, and the desert reminded me of something you might find at a place such as Fridays. An under baked lacking in flavor brownie and two scoops slightly better then average vanilla ice cream. Priced at $9 it was rather mediocre at best. Now I wanted to like this place, but can not justify the expense when attached to what I felt was nothing more than average.

How wonderful to have such a great place, that makes all the desserts on premises, in Key West! Love the chocolate-Brie grilled cheese, the Peanut Butter Perversion (can only eat a little, it's so rich), the Cookie Nookie Pie and others, but my absolute favorite is the Banana Bazooka - crepes layered with bananas and creme and topped with caramel sauce. It's out-of-this-world. Also love the Kahlua shot (Mattie's Money Shot) with white chocolate ("Lubrication") on top. One of the places I will miss the most when we move. :-(

Location was a bit hidden but once we found it all was A-ok. Dim lighting, well decorated table & friendly(horny) staff help you choose off their dessert only menu. It's dark enough to were they give you mini flashlights to look over their menu. Perfect place if your honeymooning!

How can you NOT love a place that only serves decadent, homemade delicious desserts?! The restaurant's dark (you have to use a mini flashlight to read the menu), velvety decor adds to the spot's romantic/sexy appeal. Here's what our party ordered: the "Sugar Daddy Cheesecake," "Team Cream," and ... a strawberry torte (its suggestive title slips my mind at the moment). Yum. Everything was delicious and what makes the desserts even better is that they are homemade and are original creations! Love this place!

Better Than Sex. My first reaction when I saw this spot was WOW. A dessert restaurant?! How amazing!! I absolutely LOVE dessert, and was so excited when I was taken here for my birthday as a surprise:) When you see the restaurant from the outside, you would never guess what inside looks like;C chandeliers on the ceiling, red walls, and such an intimate table! It was so elegant! The menus were on I Pads, and our waitress had an answer to every question I had about what drink went with what wine/beer/champagne. The dessert and drink names are also appealing to the eye; like the Jungle Fever lol, I'll leave that up to you! I went with the champagne with a white chocolate rim and pink sprinkles for my birthday:) I also ordered the vanilla bean cheesecake; which came out with a "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate! I thought that was very sweet of them to do! Overall, this was such a unique experience I will never forget:)

Damien T.

Is it better than sex?? Nahhhhhh but it is a great concept. I really enjoyed my experience here. Everything about this place was A1.The romantic lighting with chandeliers hanging all over the place, and even the ceiling is designed to look like chocolate. This is the perfect place for a romantic date. All of the dessert on the menu looked amazing. A cool thing about the menu is that it is all featured on an ipad. I'm mad they didn't have a dessert sampler where you can try a few of them because it was really hard to chose one. The drink menu is really creative, featuring every drink with a white chocolate or dark chocolate dipped glass rim! You can even have beer with a chocolate rim job! I decided to go for the red wine with the white chocolate rim job. It was amazing, and the two went perfect together. As you are sipping your wine, you get a delicious taste of chocolate. What more can you ask for? Five star food and service

Cozy place that serves only drinks and desserts. They have neat dÃ©cor: chandeliers, family photos on the wall, dark interior, walls set up so each table has privacy. My table decided to try four desserts: better than sex (dry chocolate bread pudding with a white cream that had no flavor), the morning after(bread was dry..would have been better with the cheesecake fondue sauce), twist and stout(too bitter, but loved the irish cream ice cream...it had an almond flavor to it) . Our table's favorite was the missionary crisp. Beautiful relaxing atmosphere. Very quiet with nice 1940's music playing in the background. Very easy to have a conversation. Our server was great. Service was fast and she had personality. Expect to spend about $10/dessert. Not bad for the quality and the atmosphere. Make sure you make reservations. TAbles are for four people max. I will definitely return next time I'm in Key West.

An epic place to visit on Key West. The chocolate dipped wine is lots of fun to drink. Their home made whipped cream is better than any place I can think of. A very romantic place for a date, trust this peanut butter pervert, you will have a great time.

The name speaks for itself... Make sure you have an appetite and enjoy! The staff is very helpful and with only 15 tables they make sure to get you sat quickly. I would highly recommend a reservation or be prepared to wait.

"Inviting dessert place" ;-) Just a super cool concept. Its just dessert with some chocolate rimmed wines and beers. Best dessert we had was the Missionary Crisp and the Banana Bazooka. Drinks were pretty much good as far as whatever preference you may have. The service was very good and we were seated promptly with our reservation for 5. Sexy ambiance, kind of like an old style madam's parlor but it is thee place to go in KW with your date to set a romantic mood.

Wow this is a place you must visit of your in key west. It's best to make a reservation if you want to be seated at a specific time. It's always a packed house. The desserts and wine / chocolate parings are phenomenal. Skip dessert at any other place and eat it here.

Never felt so full after Sex!!! So I don't know how true it is that is "Better than Sex" This place is definitely an attraction in Key West... After you visit Duval street please save your evening for this experience!!!! It's is a total adventure for your senses... Visually the place is really enticing, the entrance, decor and the artwork on the walls is just amazing. Very tastefully selected and displayed. The dimmed lights are just the beginning of the flavorful journey. The staff is very pleasant and courteous. We were accommodated in a short notice. Long story short.... THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!!! The desserts are Sinful and Decadent, the chocolate dipped wine glasses should be included a a new of the 1000 Wonders of the World!!!!! Don't skip it, don't think about it.... Just do it!!!! At the end is just "Better than Sex"

I'm just not "fancy" enough --- My wife loved this place. Me? It was a neat concept, glad she had fun, stuff looked cool ... but I struggled to find something that really sounded off the charts good to me. I would've been just fine w/ an ice cream from the corner stand... but I'm a basic meat/potatoes kind of guy. --- Either way, love it or leave it, it's a unique place that is worth a stop to have a great story and say "been there / done that".

I have come here at least five times in the last year, later bringing my friends and my sister and her boyfriend. In short, this restaurant is such a guilty pleasure. The drinks are great, particularly the sparkling beverages with white chocolate rims and lavender honey. The experience makes everything extra fun. The menus are all on iPads but the restaurant is otherwise quite dark and they offer flashlights so you can properly see. The menu descriptions are entertainment in themselves-- I suggest you check it out on their website. :) You cannot go wrong with any of the desserts! Be wary that some are a bit excessive, especially if you are not sharing with a group. For valentine's day, they have a sampler which was the perfect way to try a bit of everything on the menu. My favorites are the Chocolate Grilled Cheese and Tongue Bath Truffle.

We found this restaurant while we were walking around the streets of key west. The name of the restaurant caught our eyes and we were like ...whhhaaaat! We need to try this place... And I'm glad we did!! Very romantic ambience and excellent desserts... I ordered the Team Cream- their take on creme brule.... OMG it was soooooo creamy and delicious I wanted more when I was done my husband ordered the chocolate grilled cheese.... It was so different and yummy... We have never had anything like that before... Wish I could go back to key west soon

I think them props for their uniqueness. There were some things I wasn't a huge fan of but overall it is probably a place to check out at least once. So it is really dark in there or dimly lit or whatever you want to call it. I know they are setting a mood but it is really dark. I thought the concepts for the drinks and desserts were good and funny. I didn't think the actual dessert was as good as I expected. I got the chocolate peanut butter dessert. It was fine, but I think I thought that since they specialize in desserts that I was going to be blown away. The service was very good and we actually got there quite a bit ahead of our reservation and they were friendly and able to seat us early. I also liked how a number of their drink options had the glasses coated in chocolate. I thought that was a cool idea. It was probably a little more expensive that I thought it should be but there is a whole ambiance, and fancy electronic menus and things so you are paying somewhat for atmosphere. It is a funny and unique place, that I agree with some other reviewers it is worth trying at least once.

Best desserts ever! Best for couples, but we came early with a 12 and 14 year old and had a great time. Friendly staff and excellent service. The "Slip it in" drinks were great. We had the "Fork You Fondue," "Peanut Butter Perversion," Kinky Key Lime Pie," and "Adult Grilled Cheese." Definitely worth a visit if you are in Key West!

Ellen L.

Not actually better than sex, but I guess that depends on how good your sex is! Definitely make a reservation. You don't want to be one of the sad people who gets turned away at the door. So, really, amazing drinks and deserts. I don't even like alcohol and I really loved the sparkling moscato dipped in white chocolate. We split the red velvet cheesecake and it was incredible. I would love to have tried one of everything on the desert menu but even splitting the cheesecake between 2 people was more than enough. We could have shared it with a 3rd person. Of course we just had a big dinner before that. Anyway, 5 stars all the way. I wish this place were local to me but then again I don't need it on a regular basis!

Kara K.

Fantastic! Came in tonight for the first time with my husband... Staff is friendly and play to the theme of the restaurant, but not in a vulgar way. Desserts are great, a little pricey but thats to be expected at any date spot! We shared three desserts: pb perversion, jungle fever and cookie nookie... Try any of the three you wont be disappointed! The plating takes the entire experience over the top. The dark atmosphere feels sexy and "would you rather" book on the table acts as a fun ice breaker. Great snacks, semi private... Not better than sex but damned close. We loved it!!

Duy N.

One of the most outrageous and romantic places I've been to. Inside looks like an intimate sex house. The lights are dim and candles light your way. Walls are draped with velvet and dark curtains. The staff gives you their best service and the desserts are over the top, indulgent. We had some white wine with carmel dipped glasses and ordered a bunch of different desserts. All made fresh daily. If there is one place in key west you must visit, this is it.

My husband and I had a great experience! Our waitress was wonderful and friendly and of course the Dessert was divine! If we ever visit Key West again we will be sure to be back at Better than Sex!

I'm a big fan of everything inappropriate. I also have a pretty keen sweet tooth. So Better Than Sex couldn't have been any more up my alley (ha! get it? "up my alley"! ok bad joke.) and I was quite pumped to try this place out while vacationing in Key West with my girlfriends. After reading that reservations are must-have and there are no walk-ins welcome, we made ours the day before and time slots were already filling up fast! We made 6pm reservations which is the earliest time available. As we left our hotel on Duval street, we came to realize that the restaurant is a little bit off the beaten track, however fairly easy to find with the assistance of GPS. It's not a terrible walk from the main street and actually quite scenic and a good opportunity to see some local Key West. The outside is somewhat underwhelming and quite easy to walk right by, but once you open the doors, the inside is a sexy boudoir complete with erotic photos and innuendos aplenty. The tables and booths are separate enough to make things intimate and the place just has a really cool vibe about it. Once I opened the menu, things got a little overwhelming for me. Kind of like when you walk into an H&M and the place is so huge and you see something cute over there, but NO! there is something this way calling your name. Your friends all scramble off in different directions and you are left standing in the middle of a massive store all dazed and dizzied not knowing whether to take the place one section at a time or call it quits and resolve to order shit online. That's kind of what it was like for me browsing through the menu- so many options!!! all of which spoke to a different part of my fattiness. Oo0ooO chocolate! OMG red velvet cheesecake. whaaaa?! cookie dough pie?! Fondue, caramel, bananas, bread pudding!!! AHHHHH! My friends and I decided going in that we would order a bunch of desserts and share them, so that made the selection process much easier, and something I would definitely recommend. But even then, ordering was tough. And made only that much harder with the addition of the drink menu which features shakes and floats that are essentially desserts themselves. All served "rim Job" style, with glasses that are dipped in gooey chocolate. I don't know how we did it, but we narrowed it down to 4 desserts to split amongst the 3 of us: Between my Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake, Cookie Nookie pie, Better than Sex (chocolate bread pudding), and a banana something that I forget the name of. I also ordered the creme soda. The creme soda was the best I've ever had, ever. EVER. All the desserts were killer, even the banana one and I am typically not a huge banana lover. They were large portions, definitely big enough to share, and presented so beautifully. Each dessert was so well done and as good as I was expecting. I doubt there is a bad thing on the menu and I would totally be open to experimenting (ha! get it? "open to experimenting" ...ok, I'm done). So... Better than sex? Well, that's for you to decide.

Atmosphere 5 stars Creativity 5 stars Service 5 stars Food 3 stars Very tasteful, unique desert place. I had the signature dish- Better than Sex and it was a chocolate bread pudding. Not out of this world, but it wad good. My husband had the apple crisp dish and it still had the skin on the apples. But the place is very romantic. Very dimly light (almost completely dark) and the menus are on Ipads. Cool concept. Recommend going to this place.

Tony G.

Had an excellent experience. Sat in the speak-easy room, my wife and I ordered some incredible deserts and were very impressed. The server even took notice that my wife was pregnant and asked the chef to personalize the dish, it came with the words "happy babymoon' written on the plate. We thought it was very sweet of her. I highly recommend this place!

What we ordered.. N + 1. Our table had 4 people! Drinks: Stoudt beers x2 white wine (chardonnay) with a caramel rim (x2) chocoMilk (oops - my memory escapes me and the site is blocked from where I write this!) Desserts: Chocolate Stout Pie Banana Bazooka Peanut Butter Perversion Jungle Fever Chocolate Grilled Cheese We had a total of 8 people in our party. Please be aware that they seat no more than 4 to a table. We sat at two adjacent tables and while we were able to interact a little, we didn't get to chat like we'd normally do. This is SUPPOSED to be an INTIMATE setting. (we get that!) You've seen plenty of reviews of the consumables.. we are delighted with everything we tried. My favorite was the Chocolate Grilled Cheese. My husband's was the fondue (which our neighboring table had ordered!). Ambiance was excellent, with sultry servers and mood music/lighting. The menu is on an iPad, which runs an App. The app could use some work, as it's not friendly for more than one person to look at at a time, and it's tough to navigate at times. Kudoes to them for finding something that is visible in the dark setting though! Dani, the owner, came out to greet us. She indicated that they are not franchising but will indeed be opening another place in FL somewhere. Yeay! How does a gal who runs a dessert place not weigh 300 lbs? Sheis always running, that's how! Dani doesn't stop moving during her working days! We left in such a sugar coma, I left my credit card behind (it was dark.. and the card is black.. easy mistake!). I didn't notice until later that night back at our place. We ran by the restaurant about 10 minutes before they were to open, and the staff kindly took care of me, asking for ID to ensure that I was the same person who left the card. yeay! We'll return next time we are in town. Something about caramel rimmed glasses filled with white wine.. *sigh*

Catchy name, fantastic desserts, and intimate ambiance combine to make a fun dessert stop before heading home for the evening. We had two desserts - the Fork You Fondue and the Better than Sex bread pudding. Both were excellent. we didn't have any of the drinks, but they looked delicious. Worth a try while you are visiting Key West.

Kitschy fun. Like something you'd find in Vegas. I wouldn't call it romantic, but something to do in key west. I like the dessert and drink combo, but prefer the hard stuff in terms of alcohol and they don't serve that. The dessert was good. It's a small place so I'd make reservations. It's causal; I saw people in shorts and t shirts. I'm thinking the average tab per person is under 25.00. They only serve drinks and desserts and it's pretty calorie laden so it's not like you'd want to order more food or drinks. One and done sort of thing.

You have to check out this place. One of a kind and an amazing experience. Can be romantic if you want or great for a girl's night. The drinks are fantastic - you have to get the one that's champagne with carmel sauce, it is so delicious. Lots of thought and love went into creating this place. You won't forget the experience.

What comes to mind when you hear "Better than Sex"? What do you expect from a place with that name? I knew it had to be chocolate! and that it must be decadent, rich, and almost addictive. The restaurant plays its name right. Very dim lights, dark furniture, provocative photos, and beautiful chandeliers, inviting you to be naughty and indulge in one of their scrumptious desserts. My first time here I ordered the "Team Cream" - Vanilla CrÃ¨me Custard (CrÃ¨me Brulee) with Cracked Burnt Sugar Pieces, & drizzled with warm soft caramel. On the side it has Orange Blossom Kissed Shortbread Wedgies, which paired perfectly with the custard. It is, honestly, the best CrÃ¨me Brulee I've ever tasted. It was smooth, light, heavenly. I paired this with their rim job coffee drink "Cream "In My" Coffee. It is basically an Irish Coffee drink but the cream is handmade there and it's delicious, thick enough to give that comforting creamy texture to the coffee, and not too sweet. Second time here we had a little more fun, ordering more things and having fun with the names. Our servers were very entertaining making everything sound a little more sexy and naughty. I had a "Kelly's Klimax" - Rosa Regale Sparkling Red Wine in a White Chocolate Rimmed Champagne Flute, and their award winning "Better than Sex". This is a chocolate bread pudding that almost tastes like a cross between cake and brownie. Sinful dark chocolate filled with big cherries and a smooth, cloud of white chocolate truffle mousse on the side with the word "SEX" in chocolate on it. The Chocolate Grilled Cheese is a must have. The combination of brie and dark Belgian chocolate is thrilling, and the strawberry champagne soup it comes with takes to a whole new level. Better than Sex is a must when in Key West. Be it with your significant other or in a group you are guaranteed a great time and mouth-watering desserts. Be playful, have fun with the names and desserts, let yourself go and enjoy!

I wouldn't say that eating dessert here is actually better than sex. But it sure does get you in the mood. Everything here - from the bordello-like furnishings, to the dim lighting (it was so dark I got lost coming back from the ladies room, and our waitress had to illuminate our dessert with a flashlight), to the suggestive names and descriptions of the desserts (Fork You Fondue, Tongue Bath Truffle, Cookie Nookie Pie, etc.) -- has a sexual connotation, so don't go here if you're a prude. The hubby and I shared the Twist and Stout (a slab of chocolate cake flavored with Young's Chocolate Stout beer, topped with dark chocolate frosting and chocolate stout glaze, served with Irish Cream ice cream and a drizzle of salted caramel). We also each had a glass of the Choco-Port (tawny port in a chocolate-rimmed glass.) And then we went back to our room to . . . ya know. A fun, and succulent, place to finish up your evening.

Amanda W.

The concept is fun, ambience romantic and staff friendly. I wasn't over the top impressed with the desserts (definitely not better than sex, lol). I had the Twist & Stout, it was too rich for what we were hoping for. My husband ordered the Popcorn Pimp Cheesecake which was totally awesome, salty and sweet combination. (Highly recommend). Overall, it was a fun dessert restaurant.

Awesome desserts, service and romantic atmosphere. LEEB and I tried the Goo Goo, which is a Carmel dipped glass filled with snappy, sparkling ginger ale. You lick the glass, then sip the ginger ale. Amazing combo of tastes. Then we had the Jungle Fever (LEEB) and the Panut Butter Perversion. LEEB's dessert was a chocolate cake with warm pudding filling and two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. Mine was a light, fluffy peanut butter cheese like cake on a chocolate chip cookie crust and chocolate peanut bark. Because th were decandant and delicious. Service was very good.

Mirka S.

This place is awesome if you in need of serious sugar or just want to experience something very unique and cool. From drink menu we had caramel rimmed glass sparkling wine - delish. Sounds weird but it's really good. For desert we had 'better than sex' chocolate bread pudding, was really good and some chocolate beer cake as well good just too sweet for me.

Christine C.

This was our third time visiting better than sex, as the previous experiences it was great! The ambiance is no doubt dark, and as intended, sensual. Although some may find the innuendos awkward, for us we find it rather humorous. The "shocker" which is a "rimmed" white chocolate glass of red wine is my absolute favorite !! We have had tried most of the desserts and found all of them to be yummy! I just can't back soon enough for the "shocker"!

Bryan M.

First of all, we heard about this place as a "NEED to go" from just about everyone we ran into or asked for recommendations while we were in town. Plan ahead and call for a reservation because it was quickly obvious that everyone knew what we were about to find out - deliciousness awaited! We were told that this place gives you enough that you should order a light meal so we obliged and ate a little something. I started off ordering the Grown-Up Guzzler which is a very tasty and potent hard root beer. For my main course I had the Better than Sex. Very good as well. All four of us in our party ordered different drinks and different meals and it was all GREAT! The staff is very courteous while also having verbal fun with the sexual theme of the place. The lighting is low and romantic for the couple on a night out without the kids. Bottom line? If you're in Key West and you like desserts - COME HERE!

Let me start by saying that I REALLY wanted to like this place.... Like a lot. But, I was left with a sour taste in my mouth and I didn't even get the opportunity to sample their desserts. During a family vacation in the keys, my cousins and I decided to visit BTS because we had heard so many rants and raves about it back home. We called a day ahead to make reservations for our bigger group of 10 and were told they could not accommodate us in 1 table, but could probably split us up as walk-ins because they don't take reservations after 7. Okay... we were fine with that. We showed up at 8 the following evening and there were no tables left. The host had the audacity to tell us that we could wait an hour and be split up, but it would be best if we go somewhere else and have some key lime pie or ice cream because our larger group would, and I quote, "ruin the ambiance" of the restaurant..... Excuse me? Seriously???? The English language offers soooooo many ways to say something and THAT is what he said to 10 potential customers? It was truly horrifying to see the entitled, pretentious "south beach" attitude reach the laid back oasis of the keys. 1 star to Better Than Sex, for having a bigger diva than the drag queens down the street for a host.

Absolutely fabulous for what it is, an intimate dessert restaurant! What could be bad!? Had the champagne cocktail with caramel, it was sticky and delicious. My companion had port rimmed with chocolate, which was also yummy. For dessert, we shared their signature chocolate cake. Velvety and devine. I love this place and it's swanky sexy vibe!

Looking for an intimate, yet sexy place to visit with the one you love or you can go with a group. Look no further, Better Than Sex is a Dessert restaurant that delivers in ambiance, cocktails, wine, coffee and service. From the outside, this place has you wonder what it is. At first I thought it was a kinky sex shop. To my surprise, it was all about decadent desserts. I really enjoyed this place, but prior to arriving here, we were at Cafe Sole. Two rich decadent places back to back, is not recommended. Both are so rich in flavor, that it was too much for our digestive system to handle in one evening. I recommend taking some digestive enzymes before coming to either place. Better than Sex is a must visit and not a drive by. If you are ready to have a sexy evening with your loved one, this is the place to end the night.

Devin N.

After experiencing Better Than Sex, one might have to ponder that question...but seriously, nothing is better than sex. lol. This place is just awesome! The whole concept makes me wish that I came up with it. They give you ipads as menus to peruse through the sexy selection of desserts before basically just closing your eyes and pointing to one because it's hard to choose. Most of the drinks come with some kind of chocolate or caramel rim on the glass, so be prepared to do some licking. Warning: It IS expensive, but worth it. The bottom line is this: It's a great experience. So be prepared to have your sugar levels make you tweak...

The concept and execution was fantastic, but I don't know if I would be back We had reservations for two at Better than Sex. We were greeted and promptly seated (so they know how to use reservations -bonus). The restaurant is really dark, so dark they give you a flashlight at the table. This gives it a very intimate feel (their plan). The place was fairly cozy and I was glad for a side table. . and not a table in the middle of the room (that one was for a party of 4 with 2 kids). I personally don't think this is a kid restaurant The menus are basically ipads with a App on them. The app still needs some work. It is cool but it has features such as zooming and re-sizing the text. You really shouldn't need to do that!. Maybe have a button for "eyesight" problems that provides a bigger view. . but I shouldn't need to adjust fonts on an ipad app. Even without the re-sizing the app is still fairly complicated. They could of significantly simplified it . . .and I hope they do. Send me a message "SEX" I'll give you some tips. Well, you didn't go here to play with an app. I got a glass of wine (nice) with a chocolate rimmed glass. My wife got a cup of coffee that was chocolate rimmed. We both got a dessert. Mine was a chocolate bread pudding and my wifes was a red velvet cheesecake. Both desserts were fine. My bread pudding was just okay. . .my wifes red velvet cheesecake was awesome. Here is why the 3-star and not the 4-star . . the price. This was not a cheesecake that exceeded Gale Gand's Tru Restaurant . . . $10 - $15 for the desserts and $10 for the wine (coffee was $7 with the chocolate rim and no booze). I just really don't think its worth that price. . . A fun restaurant. . .a great concept. I loved it Chop off 30% off the bill, and now we are talking.

It was definitely an experience and fun but drinking cheap wine while basically licking your glass. The chocolate was like Hershey syrup on the rim of glass. Maybe we made a bad choice with the red wine. We then ordered a cookie nookie which was ok. To our surprise the Grilled Brie with chocolate was really good. They really have something there!! Very dark and fun with a date. But choose wisely. Oh and the waitress was clueless. Everything's her favorite. Lol!!

Kristin M.

Would recommend a reservation and note that they are closed on Wednesday. The chocolate dipped wines were amazing! Tried 3 different kinds and all were great. The flourless chocolate cake was not bad but lacked flavor and did not compare to others I have had. The raspberry sorbet served with it was very good, however. I would recommend trying a different dessert especially if you are looking for something chocolatey.

Came here after a terrible meal at conch republic - which turned out to be a good thing because we were not full. This is a really fun, well executed, dessert bar with a deliciously dirty sense of humour. The desserts were fantastic and the drinks very creative. Only surprise to me was that it is beer and wine only. I would think the obviously very talented team here could have a field day with dessert martinis. I look forward to returning!

Farah R.

It was a great environment for a couple - dark and romantic. The desserts are extremely fun to browse thru and select....but the taste....just ok. I would go back for the ambiance and I definitely think it's a great place to check out if it's your first time in the area, I would just lower my expectations a bit. I ordered the red velvet cheesecake - the red velvet tasted amazing, but I could have used a bit more crumb on the bottom. My husband had the cookie noookie which we had no complaints about. Definitely a hit. For drinks, we were happy to see a whole virgin menu - I guess that's easy to do with Chocolate! Lol. My husband had the chocolate milk - which they did up all fancy and I had the hot chocolate - it was cold in January! I loved the hot chocolate :) Oh and the menus are all fancy on iPads now which eliminates the problem some reviewers stated of being able to read the menu in the dark. They still provide a flashlight per table - which came in handy to take pictures :)

I am not a fan BUT, I do recognize that they have succeeded in executing their concept, which is not an easy one. Plus, judging from the reviews, I am in the minority. The place is designed to be dark, somewhat romantic but, most importantly, sexy. I guess they have achieved this look. We say in a booth towards the back and started to checkout their menu. Designed all around as a menu with many sexual references, the sexy waitress came by and recommended some things. We had a "Rim Job" which was basically a beer. Not good. We had a "Team Cream" which had vanilla crÃ¨me, burnt sugar and caramel. Better but not great. The "Orange Blossom Kissed Shortbread Wedgies" were good as was the "Chocolate" Grilled Cheese which was a brie cheese danish with dark Belgian chocolate grilled on homestyle buttered bread with cinnamon and sugar. The wifey liked it a lot more than I did. I liked the food much more than their drinks. No real wine list to speak of by the way.

New location and a "BETTER" Better than sex! (which is keyword for "must update my review") The old location was small and hidden away unlike this one which is "bigger". In this case, size DOES matter. (or is that in every case? hmmmm) The new location takes BTS to a new level. It is dark, naughty and mysterious. The decor is much more elegant than before. We were seated towards the back in a cozy and darker than dark booth. We had to use the provided small flashlights to see everything on our table. Thankfully, the menus are now back-lit and very cool. The night was filled with sexual innuendos including our overly flirtatious waitress who was doing a great job of keeping the hubbies drooling. She was cute too which helped! She played her part perfectly. They bought it all hook, line and sinker. (NOTE: don't dine here if you are the jealous type, shy, a prude or get easily insulted with sex "talk" and everything related to it.) (SUGGESTION: Can you also hire hot MALE waiters for us girls? Why do the men get all the fun?) This time around we had the following: - Two rim jobs (yup, one with beer and one with moscato) - The Team Cream- Vanilla CrÃ¨me custard, cracked burnt sugar pieces, & warm soft caramel. "Orange Blossom Kissed Shortbread Wedgies... insert one today and you'll be sure to score" their description- not mine... ha! - Chocolate Grilled Cheese- Danish brie cheese & dark Belgian chocolate grilled on homestyle buttered bread with cinnamon and sugar. Served against a shot of strawberry champagne soup - Fork You Fondue- cheesecake fondue, served chilled with vanilla pound cake poppers rolled in cinnamon sugar for dipping Everything was absolutely delicious! My one complaint is still the same as last time: the wine list needs work! While licking the outside of the rim job they provide is fun (cough cough- chocolate people! I am talking about chocolate!), it would be much more fun if I wanted to also swallow what was inside. Wine, I am talking about good wine. At the end of the day, this is one fun place to visit while you are in Key West. The more friends involved, the better. This was my third time and it certainly was the charm!

This is a MUST VISIT place if you are in Key West. Drinks and desert only....with a sexy twist. Everything is fantastic here, the ambiance, the drinks, the deserts, the service, the innuendos, the mood. There is no point in describing the deserts as they all are incredible - simply trow a dart at the menu and you will be satisfied. Leave the kids at home or in the hotel and have some fun.

Sultry, suggestive and a menu almost inappropriate for young children, Better Than Sex brought dessert-only dining to a whole new level. It wasn't just about the sweet treats. Certainly, the award winning chocolate cake named after the restaurant was unbelievably addictive. It was actually the dining room that I really fall in love with. A non alcohol centric after dinner place with posh decor and intimate ambiance. It was almost too good to be true. It was style and it has substance. The desserts were wonderful enough to make foodie happy. Don't feel like eating? Get a bottle of wine and drink it from a glass dipped in tasty chocolate sauce.

With an interesting name like that, I anticipated romantic setting, candlelit table, sweet, rich and sensuous desserts. Sure enough, I got them all! We made the reservation online as this hidden gem opens nightly at 6PM. Right when we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted by the friendly waiteress who took us to our private booth. The entire setting was dimly lit, and the menu playfully presented desserts with sexual innuendos. We ordered the Goo goo (Fevertree Ginger ale served in a caramel rimmed flute), Rollover Rootbeer Float (Rootbeer over ice cream with a chocolate & caramel drizzle), Banana Bazooka and award winning "Between My Red Velvet Sheets" Cheesecake. All were exceptionally tasty, not too sweet, with the right amount of icing and crunch. This place is definately one of the most captivating touristy spots in Key West, Florida. I'm so glad we found it and got to enjoy the experience!

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. Our server, Taylor, was excellent. The desserts are amazing! I would definitely recommend it.

Save some room, eat a lighter dinner and come here for a wonderful romantic sexy dessert. We were here in November and they had some really decadent pumpkin desserts. We tried one of the Pumpkin specials and the "Between the Sheets Red Velvet Cheesecake" Both were large, so if you find your still full from dinner you can share one dessert. I loved the Pumpkin, it was sweet and airy and light, the red velvet is a panty dropper. It was decadent, rich, but not too over the top. The chocolate rimmed wine is fun and just gives you more of a feeling of lushness. I was unsure about the darkness because I don't have great night vision but it isn't so dark that I was stumbling around or tripping all over myself. and the flashlights are a nice touch for people who can't read well in the dark. This is a must for every couple visiting Key West. It really sets the tone for a nice romantic luscious get-away. and for the locals, this is a great place to take your girl, for just no reason at all. You can't go wrong with chocolate and wine.

This place is a one of a kind experience!!! Don't be deterred if you can't get a reservation on line, call and see what they can do!!!! Open 6-midnight, reservations are definitely recommended! We weren't sure on timing so after dinner we called and the guy put us on the wait list (which was about and hour on a sat night-the next reservation was over 2 hours later) The ambiance here is sexy adorned with red and candles and the staff was super friendly! The staff guide you to your table with flashlights (the room is quite dark:) the menus are back lit for easier reading! I had the tongue bath truffle with raspberry sorbet, my husband had the nookie cookie which comes with house made vanilla bean ice cream! I also had the 'shocker' which is a cab sav in a glass rimmed with chili chocolate....delish! They knew we has just gotten married and our desserts had happy honeymoon messages especially for us! This place is one if a kind, if you're in Key West with your sweetie bring them here and indulged! Desserts are all house made and deliciously sexy right down to their creative names!

I can't write enough about everything we experienced at Better Than Sex, I'd be writing all night. First off, the atmosphere. Dimly lit and tables (at least the table we were at) are spaced perfectly for a close couple setting. The staff. Outstanding. She was able to handle multiple tables and made it feel like we were her only table. The drinks and food. Mouth watering is truly and understatement. We had the Fork-Me Fondue split between two of us and loved it. The warmth of the donut holes to the coolness of the vanilla cheesecake chocolate was PERFECT. The drinks are a perfect connection of dessert and drinks. The rims dribbled with chocolate or caramel was a new experience I wish I would of thought up a long time ago. This little gem in Key West is worth every penny. A must go to for couples in Key West!

Rob Z.

Absolutely love this place! A must every time my wife and I come to Key West for a getaway. Every time I branch out to a different wine or desserti cone back to my favorite... Choco Cab and Cookie Nookie Pie. The pairing of cabernet and the warm semi sweet chocolate "rim job" is amazing. Don't miss this combo.

Kristin L.

Every bit as delicious as the name implies. We left dessert at Better Than Sex for the last night in Key West, which happened to be a Saturday during high season. I read what everyone else said about needing a reservation so hoped on OpenTable at 6pm and was able to book a table for two at 8:30pm. Success! We got there and were immediately seated. We each ordered a cocktail (chocolate-rimmed, yummmm) and shared the red velvet cheesecake (to. die. for.) and played cards (there are games at each table) while we sipped. It's a great date spot, but would also be fun in a big group so you can order a bunch of desserts and pass them around, family-style. A must-try spot in Key West, for sure!

Found this restaurant through other Yelp reviews and since both my wife and I have a sweet tooth we had to try it. Made reservations and we're excited to try it. When we arrived we found a rather plain looking building on the outside. When we entered we found ourselves in a dark, romantic restaurant broken up into small rooms. They only seat two or four people - no large groups. We checked out the menu and my wife ordered the peanut butter per vision which she enjoyed immensely. I had the Better than Sex dessert which - although it was not better than sex) was extremely delicious. I can see why this was an award winner. We both had the spiced coffee with the homemade Irish creme in chocolate and caramel rimmed glasses - out of this world! We would definitely recommend Better than Sex to anyone visiting the area and I know we will be back when we visit Key West again!

It has been years knowing about Better Than Sex yet it was worth the wait. In every way did BTS more than live up to the dessert restaurant's name: It was an astounding experience. From the reception at the door (hint: make reservations) to our server Kelly ("in case you forget my name, just remember Kelly's Climax") to the actual stars of the show--the desserts!--BTS brilliantly managed to pull off a sensational experience that was, in fact, great. In my opinion, here are the best desserts and the best service to be found in all Key West. If you can settle for second-best, go elsewhere. If you are not looking for a delightful time, turn away. But if you like my wife and I are pleased to endorse and support excellence, by all means make certain your Key West experience includes late-night dessert restaurant Better Than Sex. You will be glad you did. A+

Andy G.

This will be the best dessert experience you'll have in Key West or possibly anywhere. From the romantic lighting to the rimmed drinks to the decadent dessert options, there wasn't anything we didn't thoroughly enjoy about the experience. Be sure to eat a light dinner, if anything, before going and I'd recommend reservations as the restaurant isn't huge.

This is one of place that you have to visit when you come to key west, girls especially. It is literally a girl's dessert dream came true: dainty lights with "lady is a tramp" decor, music that make you wanna gossip with your bestirs or cuddle with you boyfriend, oh and don't forget the unbelievably amazing dessert and wine. The menu is presented with iPad providing detailed descriptions for every option. I ordered the red velvet cake with the sexy float( soda with ice cream) and my friend ordered jungle fever( chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream) and white wine. I love how they serve every drink with either a white or dark chocolate rim around it, making it even more appealing. You will never order wrong here because the waitress will make sure you have everything you need. I really do hope that we will have one soon in atl. (Sadly, I heard it is family owned and they don't intend to do so)
(5)
Andrea B.

I went here with a group of four on Friday evening and we were able to get a table right away. My boyfriend and I got the Jungle Fever, which was absolutely amazing! The couple we were with got the Cookie Nookie which was also very good. The service and ambiance were totally on point. Overall, Better Than Sex exceeded my expectations and I will be returning over and over again!

My girlfriend fell in love with this place, if it was up to her we'd go here every night. The service is fantastic, the atmosphere is very intimate. The portions are quite good, and the prices are reasonable. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A RESERVATION

Everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their dishes. The coffee with homemade Irish Cream was excellent. My wife loved the Fork You Fondue. We will be back on our next visit to Key West.

Carol T.

So glad that we stopped in for my birthday. Decided to skip dinner, and just do desserts. Wise choice. After finishing the Tongue Bath Truffle, I was in chocolate heaven! My husband's Better Than Sex was also to die for. The chocolate rimmed wine glasses were a nice touch, but with all the dark chocolate in the dessert, probably should have gone with the caramel rimmed instead. Just a bit too much chocolate. Can't believe I just said that!
(4)
Arnold B.

A great atmospheric (romantic) desert restaurant. The deserts are mouthwatering and the ambiance is superb. They really fused over our anniversary. This is a one of a kind eatery and should not be missed. A reservation in advance is a must. They only have 18 small tables. Don't miss this one you will be talking about it for months.
(5)
Mansi S.

Very unique experience!!! We loved the chocolate grilled cheese, nothing like we had before! The wine with the chocolate drizzle was also very good! The prices weren't outrageous but kind of what you would expect. Unique venue - def a must to go to with your significant other for a nice date!
(5)
Lenya S.

My husband and I ordered jungle fever, tongue bath truffle both desserts were OK, definitely not up to the hype being that this place is suppose to focus on desserts only. The drinks I must say were good. I strongly suggest Mandy's drink. It's strawberry beer and the glass has a rim job of milk and white chocolate.
(3)
R P.

First things first - this place is NOT better than sex. Drinks and dessert were not bad but calling it better than sex is stretching it a bit. Decent combination of typical and ingenious beverages and desserts but not worth the hype. They get booked pretty fast so there could be a long wait if you're not into reservations. They should be credited with creative branding but a step up in the offerings will add substance to style. Desserts were way too sweet for us and drinks were 3.5/5 at best. I will not enter into a long term relationship with this place but not bad for a one night stand :)

This place is truly phenomenal. It is a unique, creative vision executed magnificently. We plan to go back every single night for our entire stay in Key West. Decor: Elegant, very dimly lit, red, black, gold colors, Billie Holiday/old movie tunes, chandeliers, private, cozy, intimate seating. (Limited to parties of 4 per table.) Service: Sweet, stylish, sophisticated. We received ipad menus instead of book menus and mini-flashlights just in case, from pretty, polished waitresses. The descriptions of food and drink were playful, engaging, made me smile and giggle. However, I am not very conservative and enjoy overt sexual innuendo very much. You should too, if you plan to visit this place. Food and Drink: Taste sensation innovation. So far we've tried the following: Chocolate Grilled Cheese: Menu description: "Danish brie cheese & dark Belgian chocolate grilled on homestyle buttered bread kissed with cinnamon sugar. Served snuggled up against a shot of strawberry champagne soup." YUM! And "Better Than Sex" which is a bread pudding: Menu description: "I'm Not your All-American Girlfriend... This Exotic & Atypical bread pudding magically bakes into mouth feels of a Cake & a Brownie, yet is actually a bread pudding. Deep. Dark. Chocolate! Penetrates a tease of big bold bing cherries swimming in a mÃ©nage a trios of chocolates & baked dark dense pumpernickel bread & butter. Served with white chocolate mousse" YUM! Those among my party enjoyed various champagne and wine drinks rimmed with all sorts of creative decadence: white chocolate and chipotle pepper dust (The Shocker), Champagne with white chocolate and honey drizzled glasses, and so on. Very creative and one is left wondering..."why doesn't everyone do this all the time?" The bottom line to this world class dessert restaurant is WHEN WILL ONE BE OPENING IN MY CITY?? (New Orleans or San Francisco would be great.) There is no reason this should not be the next big thing to sweep the country. This is a billion dollar baby, folks. One suggestion: bring hot, lightly scented moist towels to the table after the party finishes for inevitably sticky fingers and mouths. Sex involves a little bit of clean up afterwards, does it not? Make it part of the experience. And management should always be aware that it is likely a strong female who is dragging her friends to this place...rallying and cajoling everyone...NOT the male of the party. Woman + Chocolate = Passion and Drive Give the lady figurehead some credit and kudos for a job well done in steering the group because that's likely how it happened.

great place to end a romantic date. The dÃ©cor and overall ambiance oozes sexiness, and the wait staff are very friendly. Menus are on an ipad, and if you are like me, picture oriented, all their selections are picture based, with side desciptions on them. prices are reasonable for their desserts, and very decadent desserts. they have wine pairings as well. this is the second time we've been back.

This unique place is just terrific! The desserts are unusual, delicious, not run of the mill, made with love! Try anything on the menu. The place itself has a cool, dark funky look and vibe to it. Our waiter Taylor could not have been nicer. If you are in Key West, Better Than Sex is a must!!

Sharon P.

Very neat experience. Have to have a reservation to eat here. They bring you to your table with a flashlight and the menu is on an iPad. Had a chocolate dipped wine glass with red wine....oh so yummy. The peanut butter perversion pie was outstanding! We will go back.

The food was great and the staff went above and beyond for our honeymoon. I cannot say enough good things about the food and great staff! Try it!

If you have never been to Better Than Sex then it's worth a visit. However, if you're expecting the intimacy of the original location in Bahama Village on Petronia Street (presently occupied by Bliss) then you may be dissapointed. Chandeliers, wall sconces and brightly lit iPads with integrated cumbersome menus have replaced the unique atmosphere of candlelights and flashlights only at the old location. Honestly, there's nothing intimate about sitting around a table trying to share an iPad. Service was fast while the food and drinks are still fantastic. If you have never been here before then you won't miss the old place, which was perfect.

S C.

Great, friendly and attentive service. Loved the dessert called jungle fever! The chocolate pudding and cake was light and delicious! The ice cream portion was generous, too! We also got beer and prosecco - decent prices and selection. Would definitely return here for their desserts!
(5)
Katerina S.

Dessert. Heaven. Just literally. Pick any dessert and drink you want and call it a night. I prefer to skip dinner entirely when coming here. My favorite is the peanut butter pie. Limited seating and it gets packed, so make reservations if you can.
(5)
Christine T.

I love that they carry the theme of sex though and through. They have dark lighting and seating for couples in dark little corners so you feel secluded and sexy. The menus are awesome and unique, using back lights to light up. They have specialty desserts and drinks with sexual names that are to die for. I had the cookie nookie pie, which was basically a cookie pie with an ice cream scoop. It had the gooey chocolate chip cookie consistency that melts in your mouth. My absolute favorite thing is that the waiter will make sexual references and puns.....desserts with run around $12 and are shareable.
(5)
R E.

We had reservations at 8:00 p.m. and were seated as soon as we arrived. We enjoyed the Peanut Butter Perversion (peanut butter silk pie with a chocolate chip crust) and the Better than Sex (dark chocolate bread pudding). Both were outstanding. Our server was Mandy and she was excellent. Every member of the team was extremely professional and helpful. They also played some great music. The ambiance here is wonderful. This is a very unique place and was a very memorable experience for us. When we left there were people lined up to get in, so be sure and make a reservation.

1st off all i can say is this place was so delicious!!! my husband and i had the lucky shots with lube, the klimax (wine with white chocolate drizzle), the banana hammock (with caramel drizzle) and last but not least the peanut butter perversion!!! it was fabulous! the waitress was so nice enough to acknowledge our marriage ( we had got married 2 nights before in the keys) and had them put congratulations on the plate it looked so cute!

Dessert was great....... but better than sex............nope! Very busy place but the service was still great. It was very evident that the staff loved their jobs! So friendly! Would have enjoyed it more had there not been a few big mouth people in the speakeasy area......it would have been more romantic. Kudos for having a gluten free option!!!
(4)
Peter T.

It's definitely trying to live up to its name! Try the signature dessert, "Better Than Sex," and the "Cookie Nookie." Clever menu backlit with LEDs and sinful desserts/cocktails. Go with a date or with a group of friends and you won't be disappointed.
(5)
Joe W.

I'm a fan, but be prepared to walk out with a $50 ticket at a minimum if it is just 2 of you. If it is more than that well..... be prepared! It's pricey, It's good, and the customer service was great. There are quiet a few things here that you just have to see for yourself. I have eaten here with my wife, and with clients as they were testing it out to have their wedding receptions after I recommended it to them. It can't handle large groups, but can handle small intimate groups, and they did a great job at it. Places like these are rare, so it's great to visit it atleast once to try it out. I recommend the grilled cheese, as you will be amazed how Grilled Cheeze and chocolate have an awesome taste, especially after drinking a Strawberry Beer in a glass dipped in chocolate!!

WOW !!! Fantastic desserts. There were 10 in our party (2 couples per table max and 1 couple at their own table) The "Between the Sheets" Red Velvet cheese cake was outstanding. A must try while in Key West.

Kristy C.

Great place for a date! Went with my boyfriend and we shared the "Between My Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake" -- really good! My favorite part of the experience though was the drink -- I got a dessert wine called "Sex Appeal" -- it features white chocolate on the rim and pink sugar sprinkles. It was absolutely delicious. I really liked this place a lot!

Rebecca D.

After the first bite of banana bazooka I informed my husband we would be coming back. Seriously, this is the best desert I've had - practically magical in its flavor and texture. I wasn't at all surprised to hear the owner is an award winning chef. Awesome. Don't leave Key West without trying it.

Rose A.

Love the atmosphere especially if I had been with my husband...the desserts excellent and so creative!

Veronica D.

Skip dinner and come straight to Better Than Sex. What an amazing concept! But make reservations, because they are always full. Better Than Sex is a sexy restaurant that has dedicated itself to making desert a sensual art form. All the deserts and wines are created and named with sexual innuendos. My hubby and I shared the Cookie Nookie, and what a orgasmic experience that was. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in Key West........ YUM!
(5)
Jolyn C.

My boyfriend and I both agree that this is the favorite of our weekend in Key West. Service was outstanding, the wait staff was super friendly. The conversation starters on the table were a fun touch. Loved the ambiance, the music, the chocolate and caramel rimmed glasses "rim jobs" - freaking sinful. I got the chocolate grilled cheese and he got the creme brulee with the most delicious little orange shortbread cookies. Both desserts were awesome. I was expecting this to border cheesy and was almost nervous to dine here but it surpassed my expectations. This place is A MUST. So fun.
(5)
Frank G.

The place was nice. Owner was very nice. Desserts weren't bad, not great either (and def not better than sex). The problem was the service. The waitress was INCREDIBLY snooty. I believe her name was Melissa. She gave us an attitude right off the bat, and she continued throughout the night. I never saw a smile until the "smile" she gave when she gave us the check. She would continually dismiss our questions and cut us off while we were talking...and it's not like she was busy because we were one of the few people in there. I felt like we were students being scolded by an elementary school teacher or something..which is funny because I'm over 30. My favorite part of the night was when she forbid my wife from sharing my dessert with me because she didn't have her ID(I'm completely serious)...and by the way, she's over 30 as well. She came to the table 3 TIMES to say she can't eat my desert. I'm never going back..and I'm telling everyone I know to never go there. It is completely unacceptable to treat customers so poorly, especially when she was unprovoked. It's a shame because everyone else that worked there seemed to be so nice, especially the owner. For a place that charges entree prices for dessert, I was expecting to be treated with at least a tinge of kindness.

Stephanie J.

This is a must when we going to Key West. So far we've had the cookie nookie and cheesecake and both were awesome! I think I liked the cookie nookie slightly more. The drinks are also something to try. I'd recommend the Shiraz with a dark chocolate rim.
(5)
Kate K.

Fantastic! I wish we had a place like this in Boca- the experience is like no other, the desserts are, well, better than sex, and the prices aren't outrageous (it's the glasses of wine with chocolate "rim jobs" that push the prices up, but they're worth the experience). Or split a bottle of wine and a dessert to keep the cost down. I recommend the "team cream" dessert and a white-chocolate rimmed prosecco or moscato, as I'm not a fan of dark or milk chocolate. I will definitely be sending all of my friends their way.

Tj G.

I honestly dont know how to sum up my trip to better than sex....ill give it a go though. You cant really review BTS the same way you would a food restaurant. Your entire menu consists of beverages and desserts. Going to one restaurant for your main course, and a completely different place for dessert and drinks seems a bit strange. Then again Key West is known for strange ongoings. I started off the night with a "adult apple" which is apple Ephemere in a caramel rimmed glass. I am a AVID unibroue beer drinker, sO this was a must try. The combination is PERFECT! I honestly could have sat there and drank this all night. The caramel is more Dulce than caramel. I caught myself licking every drop from the glass. our table ordered about 5 different desserts. I will try my best to remember them now Banana bazooka - their take on a banana pudding. layers of crepe with huge banana chunks. alot of cinnamon and caramel taste. was very light and pretty damn tasty. I would order this again...and again. Kinky Key Lime - A very high slice of key lime pie. a very flaky pie crust is used instead of the traditional graham cracker crust. The filling was pleasing. but key lime pie purists will be in for a disappointment. Peanut Butter Perversion - This was the winner of the table. Creamy, smooth, and TONS of peanut butter taste. I mean....it has a chocolate chip cookie dough crust! chocolate and brie grilled cheese - I forget the name but this is what you got. This was the most different and odd combination I think I have tasted. But it was awesome. I remember the chocolate being a dark bitter taste, the brie was so soft and creamy. I loved this. they give you a little cup of strawberry puree filling *to act as the tomato soup* I didnt care too much for that. I will be ordering this for myself the next time I go. Now for the "vibe" of the place. It is INSANELY dark! yes they give you a flashlight to read the menu. They have pictures on the wall, but you can barely see them without the flashlight. I think you could pull off the same ambience with alot more lighting in the correct place. I like BTS, I will be back for sure. Oh, another thing...if you are in a group. bring cash they will only split the bill on a max of two cards.

This is one of my favorite places to go in Key West. Whoever came up with a "dessert restaurant" had a wonderful idea. I had the Jungle Fever, which is a flourless chocolate tort with vanilla ice cream. It's simple, but done very well and delicious. They really play up the "sex" theme (first time visitors are "virgins", etc.). It's cute but the real treat is the main attraction - absolutely incredible desserts. One word of advice - Don't plan a large dinner before you go!

A Valentine's date to remember! :) Hubby and I got the chocolate and caramel dipped wine glasses...great fun to share. ;) And the red velvet cheesecake is terrific. We'll be back!

P. B.

I can't imagine that I would ever give a dessert restaurant four stars, since it's well, just a dessert restaurant. But I have to say the experience was surprisingly fun, the service was outstanding, the desserts were good and it's a wonderful diversion from the norm to go to a place like this. So the four stars are for the entire experience, not entirely based on the desserts themselves. We had a good time there, that's important also. Reservations are pretty much required. If you have to wait, you'll be waiting outside as the place is small. One downside, we were right on time for our reservation, but they didn't have a place to seat us yet and the owner/host was not entirely pleasant. I'll stop short of saying "rude" but he was one tick below that point. Guess when you're packing them in every night you don't always have to be pleasant. it's so dark inside when you go in that it takes a long time to adjust to it. They provide flashlights that you absolutely do need to read the menu. The sexual double entendres on the menu and that will be offered by your server are also quite funny and a break from the norm. But that's much of what makes this place so much fun. Can't recall the name of the waitress but she was simply fantastic, which is not always the norm in Key West either. We actually sampled only the following: The cream infused cabernet with the chocolate rimming on the glass, the red velvet cheesecake, the peanut butter pie, and the chocolate ice cream with jalapeno. The peanut butter pie was out of this world. The red velvet cheesecake was good, but not quite as good as we had hoped. It was the nightly "special" and sounded fantastic but ended up being a bit of a disappointment with so many other things on the menu that seemed worth a try. Still, a truly homemade cheesecake is never something to scoff at and was absolutely made with great care. I was curious about the drink my wife ordered but it was really very delicious and I would suggest trying that drink in particular, even if it is just shared between two people so they can sample it. I thought the jalapeno bite on the end of a bite of the chocolate ice cream was fun, but I would have preferred a touch more of that bite. I'm sure you have to be relatively conservative with something like that however as too much heat would turn many others off. There is a nice selection of custom cocktails, most of which have some kind of special chocoloate or candied rim on the glasses. A small but very decent beer list, wines and I believe some ports are also on the menu. Would definitely suggest this place to anyone. As someone who rarely eats desserts or treats like this it was well worth the calories and a very fun experience. Even if the desserts were good but not great, we'd certainly go back again.

James H.

What a find. Happened to drive past it and decided to come back after dinner to give it a shot. It was the highlight of our Key West trip! We've been to Burn's Steakhouse Dessert room upstairs - which is amazing - and these desserts were better! Wife died and went to heaven when they brought her two favorite things...red wine and chocolate TOGETHER in one glass. It's their "rim job" drink - unbelievable! Needless to say we went back 2 nights in a row! Next time you are in Key West (without the kids) you MUST go here!

I just love how they make going out for dessert an experience. Everything is wild from the names of the desserts and cocktails to the creations themselves. Yes, everything is around a billion calories, but it is soooo worth it.

Paty D.

This place had a heck of a lot to live up to with that name, and I must say it didn't disappoint. The concept of the restaurant is pretty unique and in a town like Key West, it's sure to thrive. We went there based on the recommendation of a local and got there right after they opened. There was no wait so if you're in a hurry, arrive when they first open. The place is dimly lit which adds to the whole "sexy" ambiance, with tasteful photographs of women's bodies displayed throughout. The menu has an array of desserts to choose from but we went with 2 suggested ones- Better Than Sex, and the Between by Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake. Both of these have won awards but the clear winner was the Better Than Sex. It is a dark chocolate bread pudding served warm, with a cherry concoction which just melts in your mouth. The red velvet cheesecake was not my favorite. It had amaretto flavoring but it tasted artificial and it's nothing to write home about. We also tried the Peanut Butter Perversion and the Chocolate grilled cheese- yes, you read right. The chocolate grilled cheese was probably one of the desserts that most lived up to the restaurant's name. It is several pieces of dark chocolate and Brie cheese melted to perfection on a buttered Texas toast. One bite and several people in our table had a face of sheer bliss!!! The peanut butter perversion was another favorite. The peanut butter flavor was just right and the texture was silky smooth; it just melted in your mouth. The table cards were also a great conversation starter which we enjoyed using while we were there. All in all our group definitely enjoyed our risquÃ© adventure into Better than Sex- it was definitely a crowd pleaser!!!

This was our last treat before flying home the next morning. It truly was a great way to end our time in Key West. The ambience inside is fantastic, the server was very friendly and outgoing, and the desserts were delicious. We loved our experience here. We both had drinks, in which they dip the rim of your glass in something sweet (chocolate and caramel in our case). It made the drinks even more delicious. The desserts were perfect. We were told they are freshly made in house everyday. They tasted as such too. The Truffle dessert and Peanut butter pie were both very good...and very rich! Seriously, this is a must treat... It has the perfect ambience, but sprinkled with the right amount of fun (just read the names on the menu!). And check our your receipt when you are done... how often do you get a receipt listing Man Candy, Caramel Over Me, and Pervert as purchases. :) Try it!

Excellent waitstaff, very personable. Desserts were to die for! A little too dark in the restaurant, but loved the question cards next to the candle on the table - gave us something fun to do while we waited for dessert! Definitely make a reservation in advance.

Perfect place to finish off the evening for drinks and desert. The chocolate rimmed wine glasses and the banana bazooka were amazing. Awesome experience.

Great Place to go....but Is it really better than sex.....NO WAY! They have Interesting...unique desserts in a darkly lit place. Seating is tight and it is best to make reservations....or hope a spot opens at the bar. I think they are overpriced....and you are paying for the experience..which is way cool. Dark place...hip, trendy...did I say dark...you need a small flash light they provide to read the menu....it's pretty cool I tried the cookie nookie...it was great. Got a chocolate rimmed Young's double chocolate stout and paid $5 extra to have the glass rim dipped in chocolate...what was I thinking???? I would skip the chocolate rim stuff if I had to do over. Would I go back....probably...not sure? But I would recommend everyone go at least once to experience this unique place.

My wife and I, while spending two weeks in Key West have been eyeing this place almost daily. We finally decided that we would break down and eat here one night instead of getting a big dinner out. We arrived about 30 minutes after opening and had a nice seat by the front window. The ambience was great: soft music, lots of candles, nice and dark. The service was also great and extremely attentive. The dessert and drink menu is all presented with tongue in cheek humor, and that was fine by me. I had a peanut butter pie, aptly named Perverted Peanut Butter (or something similar) along with an apple ale in a caramel rimmed glass. My wife had the special of the night, some banana concoction. While we waited for our desserts we played the table game and watched people approach the outside menu and either laugh and walk by, laugh and come in, or run away in horror. Our desserts were great and luckily we came on an empty stomach because the servings were too large to be "post-meal". We will probably stop by again for the food and a nice quiet place to eat. It is the start of spring break season so many of the places along Duval are filled with loud and obnoxious college kids that think spring break is an excuse to be a heathen 24 hours a day.

I love the concept of this place and it has a great ambiance with stellar service but the deserts, despite their witty names were disappointing. I expected them to be unique and well crafted and instead we got something similar to what you would find at a Fridays. However, if you're looking for a fun stop on a girls night out I'd highly recommend it for the generous martinis, kitschy atmosphere and entertaining table topic cards.

I almost carameled in my pants when I read the menu. It's an intense experience for sure. The decor leaves something to be desired (like it's what your grandma might design if she were told to think "saucy.") Make a reservation for sure-- it was packed when we went in for a 10:30, people starting to form a line down the block. You'll probably want to get a dessert and a cocktail each. They don't serve liquor, which I think is a big oversight. Think of all the concocktions! You won't finish anything but you'll love it all. Definitely a cute experience for a couple or a couple of girlfriends. Might get a little awk in sensitive company (hi dad). They were out of the red velvet cheesecake dessert, which they said takes 9 hours of prep work, wooing me with the description before finding out that it was done-zo for the night. There is a special each evening called the One Night Stand for a little something different. I'm not sure it's a more than once kind of place, but it's for sure a great evening of indulgence!

3 1/2 stars. 5 stars for the desserts, and 2 stars for the drinks. Very cute idea, and I'm glad I tried it. That said, what is up with the wine? One option for red, and it was terrible. I mean, undrinkable terrible! Anything that is covered in chocolate, I'm usually all about it. And two of my favorite things together, wine and chocolate? You can't even begin to understand how excited I was to try it. Huge let down. And it wasn't just me. It was everyone at the table. Boo Hiss on the Choco-Cab. We decided to try Jadyn's Gyration, a mocha porter with dark belgian chocolate rimmed glass. Ok, a bit better, but damn it, I wasn't in the mood for beer. Also, for some reason, that glass proceeded to get chocolate all over you when you drank it, vs the wine glass. Made for some really funny pictures though. Ok, onto the real reason we came in. We tried the Better Than Sex (yummy!), The Missionary Crisp (ok, but kind of boring), and surprisingly the group favorite, the Hot and Bothered which was two scoops of Chocolate Pinot Noir Hot Pepper ice cream, topped with white chocolate. Are the desserts better than sex? Bad sex, yes. But, all in all, of course not. But, if this place was a front for say, a sex club, and you could have these desserts AND sex and the same time? Whoa. That would be pretty freaking cool.

This place does live up to its name. Not only is the service great but so was everything we ordered, down to the very last bite. The place is only open at night and does get packed, so we were glad we called ahead and made a reservation. When we got there, we sat down right away and Michelle was our waitress. She was extremely informative and friendly. We ended up ordering two dessert signature drinks and two desserts. It was only my boyfriend and I and it was way MORE than enough. The drinks we ordered were phenomenal, Caramel "Over me" and Michelle's Multiple (named after our waitress). All of the drinks are dipped in either some type of chocolate or caramel. The caramel is specially made not to be sticky so it doesn't become a messy drink. Adds an incredible sweet tint to the wine. While Michelle's Multiple was literally like drinking chocolate. Wine mixed with different sorts and the glass dipped in a dark chocolate to give it a bitter bite with the sweet drink. HIghly recommend both. As for the desserts we ordered...well let's just say, they were better than sex. The Missionary Crisp and the Nookie Cookie Pie. The Missionary Crisp is cooked with tiny pieces of apple with the skin still on, placed into a salty crunchy crust and an almost whipped filling with apple slices. The texture was awesome. The Nookie Cookie Pie though...at least for me, really hit the spot. For anyone who loves cookie cake, imagine that but with the consistency of mousse and chocolate pockets throughout. Both were accompanied with a scoop of vanilla ice cream which was the icing on top. The atmosphere is dark and intimate. The service was great and prompt. We actually had a moth fly into one of our dessert drinks and a new one was brought to us right away. If you are in Key West and only have time for 1 stop, make it to this place. It won't let you down.

I think the tongue bath truffle is the best dessert I've ever had. My ladyperson stopped eating her own dessert (which was good but nothing special) to just eat mine. They craft an intimate atmosphere quite well, it's a beautiful space. The only thing I'd say is that they go a bit overboard on the innuendo, kind of killing the cleverness of the whole thing. Overall a fun experience, we'll be back.

Well, my group and I were on a mission to find a good key lime pie at Key West and this place certainly didn't disappoint. We only ordered a slice of key lime to go so I can't really vouch for the aesthetics of the place but I found it really dark when first entering the "bar." In regards to the key lime pie - I would give it a 5, but what brings it down is the price of the dessert which was $11 (for only 1 slice!). It has a very unique texture and taste as it has a smoother taste than most key lime pies. I think the meringue portion tasted very good.

Leo F.

I tried both the red velvet cheesecake and the key lime pie. Both were phenomenal. The only warning about this place is that it does possess kind of a romantic ambiance so a causal passerby may be intimidated by that. The desserts however were as good as I've ever had.

Brenda H.

So my fiance and his parents came here to celebrate our engagement over the holidays. Here is what we ordered: Creme brÃ»lÃ©e with caramel in a tea cup. Apple tart Raspberries and chocolate cake Chocolate with layers of tortilla and strawberries. I wish i remembered the creative names. They were all so tasty! The place itself was very dark and can either be percieved as romantic or scary. Like, is this place dirty? Why is it so dark. Anywhoo, mentally i opted for romantic over dirty. It's just a bummer they only serve dessert. Definitely nice to say that we came here and checked it out!

the staff was very unfriendly and it was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The waitresses shushed my party.avoid this restaurant at all costs. They are expensive and not worth the money. We're all very disappointed. The blonde waitress was obnoxious. They split my party up to 2 separate tables. Avoid at all costs!

Went here last minute as a local recommended it and we are so happy we did. I got the team cream and Chris got jungle fever. Both were great. I so t like beer or wine but everyone else seemed to love it. Our waitress Mary wa awesome. The o ly thing I didn't like was a guy was eating with his flashlight on and it kept coming straight to my eyes which is annoying so I moved seats. Other than thay fun, good atmosphere, and good food and service.

Better Than Sex. My first reaction when I saw this spot was WOW. A dessert restaurant?! How amazing!! I absolutely LOVE dessert, and was so excited when I was taken here for my birthday as a surprise:) When you see the restaurant from the outside, you would never guess what inside looks like;C chandeliers on the ceiling, red walls, and such an intimate table! It was so elegant! The menus were on I Pads, and our waitress had an answer to every question I had about what drink went with what wine/beer/champagne. The dessert and drink names are also appealing to the eye; like the Jungle Fever lol, I'll leave that up to you! I went with the champagne with a white chocolate rim and pink sprinkles for my birthday:) I also ordered the vanilla bean cheesecake; which came out with a "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate! I thought that was very sweet of them to do! Overall, this was such a unique experience I will never forget:)

The Kiss Me Katie (Ayala Champagne is a Caramel Brulee'd Rimmed Wine Glass) has to be one of the best things I have ever had in my life. I had two of them and could not get over how good they were!! My friends and I shared the chocolate grilled cheese and some type of cinnamon donut holes and they were both delish as well.

Damien T.

Is it better than sex?? Nahhhhhh but it is a great concept. I really enjoyed my experience here. Everything about this place was A1.The romantic lighting with chandeliers hanging all over the place, and even the ceiling is designed to look like chocolate. This is the perfect place for a romantic date. All of the dessert on the menu looked amazing. A cool thing about the menu is that it is all featured on an ipad. I'm mad they didn't have a dessert sampler where you can try a few of them because it was really hard to chose one. The drink menu is really creative, featuring every drink with a white chocolate or dark chocolate dipped glass rim! You can even have beer with a chocolate rim job! I decided to go for the red wine with the white chocolate rim job. It was amazing, and the two went perfect together. As you are sipping your wine, you get a delicious taste of chocolate. What more can you ask for? Five star food and service

Sherry W.

Cozy place that serves only drinks and desserts. They have neat dÃ©cor: chandeliers, family photos on the wall, dark interior, walls set up so each table has privacy. My table decided to try four desserts: better than sex (dry chocolate bread pudding with a white cream that had no flavor), the morning after(bread was dry..would have been better with the cheesecake fondue sauce), twist and stout(too bitter, but loved the irish cream ice cream...it had an almond flavor to it) . Our table's favorite was the missionary crisp. Beautiful relaxing atmosphere. Very quiet with nice 1940's music playing in the background. Very easy to have a conversation. Our server was great. Service was fast and she had personality. Expect to spend about $10/dessert. Not bad for the quality and the atmosphere. Make sure you make reservations. TAbles are for four people max. I will definitely return next time I'm in Key West.

3.5 for sure, a quick search of dessert spots and Better than Sex showed up and we decided to go since it sounded very, well you know the name. The new wife and I made the walk down-we were staying near Mallory Square (the touristy area) after making a reservation for 2, with the note that it was a honeymoon. We were greeted pretty warmly and seated at a pretty cramped booth facing a wall. They definitely make use of all the space but it was like sitting on a subway bench, which was a little uncomfortable. We each got 'rimmed' glasses. The wife got the choco-cab which was a Cabernet with a semi-sweet chocolate rimmed around the glass. I got the Banana bread beer with caramel rimmed around it. While she really liked her pick I thought my 'Banana hammock' was okay, maybe a vanilla rim instead of caramel? We split the peanut butter perversion which was a peanut butter silk pie with a chocolate chip cookie crust. We liked it, and they even wrote Happy Honeymoon in chocolate for us, a nice touch. The dessert was good and our drinks were pretty good but the seating for us was a little odd and the double entendres for everything on the menu was a nice hook.

I would give 3.5 stars if it was available. Decor: 5 stars Theme: 5 stars Desert names: 5 stars Service: 3 stars, they usually are close on July 4th but they decided to open for a few hours this year which worked out for us since we are just visiting. We did not have reservations and we were able to be seated in 15 mins which was awesome. The owner was friendly but the waitress didn't seem to have much patience even though she "tried". After we got seated, we didn't get to order for another 10 minutes at least and the same thing with the check. It took a while for her to come back n Food and drinks (50% of overall rating): 3stars, they all look good but the taste...it was just average at best. The jungle fever didn't have that hot chocolate oozing out of the chocolate cake. The key lime pie...not even close to Kermit. And the drink, the idea was awesome but the taste...eh

Ahhhhhhhh-mazing! Very sexy and romantic! Heard about this place and I am so glad we were able to get reservations! Very unique experience. It's dark inside and sets the perfect tone for romance. Each table / booth is kind of private which is nice. The staff was awesome! I ordered the key lime pie and OMG it was to die for!!!!! All of the drinks are amazing because the glass is dipped in chocolate - which makes everything taste amazing! Lol If you have a sweet tooth at all deff check this place out!

I loved the concept of this place. Ambiance, music and service were great. Got the morning after and better than sex paired with wine and beer (all with chocolate on the glasses). All tasted great but it gets too rich after a couple of bites... Will probably split next time. It's a must go in Key West. Make sure to call ahead to make reservations.

Carol M.

It's like I died in the middle of a wet dream and went to heaven, and ended up here. Not only do I have a big sweet tooth, I practically AM a big sweet tooth. From head to toe. So throw some fruity moscato into a caramel-dipped wine glass and I'm just delighted. My inner fat-kid is really ashamed that I hadn't already thought of this at home for Hormonal Haagen Daz Netflix Night. I digress... We also split the Tongue Bath Truffle. Best part = gluten free. Also the raspberry sorbet was the perfect balance of tart yet sweet. Man. I'm sad I'm not eating one of these right now. Highly recommended. It's a little off the beaten path but that makes it seem even more taboo. I WANT IT!

We went to this place after a sunset cruise with unlimited drinks, so I was slightly tipsy when we arrived. We had made a reservation, so we were seated right away in a cozy dark booth. I had to use the restroom soon after, and I was surprised to see several candles placed all over. Not a good idea to be around that when you're tipsy. I managed to make it out safely We ordered the coffee with a rim job, the better than sex, and the morning after. All were delicious. The service is really good. I dropped my fork at one point and a waitress handed me a new one almost immediately after. It was almost as though she was waiting for me to drop it so she can hand me a new one. I was so surprised! :-D The atmosphere and ambience was enough for me to want to come back, but the desserts really did it. They are really good and you should definitely try it when you're in town

A MUST try if you are in Key West! At first, I was skeptical...a restaurant based only on dessert...but I was easily won over. The atmosphere is seductive, the drinks are heavenly and the desserts are amazing :)

Better? Really? My curiosity was piqued. It was 9pm, and yet there was still quite a wait brewing--a good sign. I put down my name and waited in anticipation. They will take your phone number and text you when your place comes, making for a sexy start. This continues throughout the experience, from the romantically candlelit black-walled interior, to the obviously intentionally provocative attitude of the waitresses. And then the sexiness continues with the menus, which are on iPads. Everyone gets their own iPad! This is actually very helpful when ordering, as you get to see full-sized pictures of each item. I passed on two of their most popular dishes: the Chocolate Grilled Cheese and Fork You Fondue, and obligatorily went for the Kinky Key Lime Pie. It came out as a thick wall of dense, lime-imbued cheesecake topped with nuts, with a side spoon of thick, candy-sweet caramel. It was good and plentiful (definitely enough for an amorous couple to share), but not as amazing as its popularity would imply. If you like your desserts sweet, and are not a stickler for delicateness, you won't be disappointed. The drinks and desserts are overpriced--if only they didn't spend all that overhead on the iPads!--but as far as late-night romantic desserteries, choices on this small island are admittedly limited. If it's past twilight hours (6PM - midnight) and you're looking for a spot to bring your significant other, you'll most likely have fun here. If you're looking for the best dessert in Key West (as I was--and note that I don't drink), I'd recommend sticking to one of the many spots offering straight up key lime pie. Bottom line: I've had better key lime pie. I've had better key lime pie for under $10. Oh, and I've had better sex.

My husband wasn't the biggest fan.. he felt it was overpriced for what it was and that the service wasn't good enough. I, on the other hand, LOVED it! You need to reserve in advance, so don't forget that.. but once you're there at reservation time it's great. The atmosphere is really nice, though I have to say some tables are definitely better than others... but hey, that's pretty standard anywhere, right? It's a dark, romantic atmosphere, that sets the mood with red walls and sheer drapery. I love the idea of a chocolate rimmed wine glass! Why I haven't tried this at home I'm not sure (maybe it's the idea of cleaning up the mess I'll inevitably make), but I keep thinking about it and can't wait to go back to Key West just for this. Have an early dinner, let your food baby settle and then head to Better Than Sex for drinks and dessert. Have a few desserts.. it's why you're there, after all!

I have seen this place many times but finally decided to stop in last night for my husbands birthday. When you walk in the door, it's dimly lit and beautiful. Sat in a private booth area under a chandelier. We were handed iPads and the waitress explained how to go through the menu. There was an extensive list of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages where the glasses were dipped in some sort of deliciousness. I chose a ginger ale and my glass was dipped in caramel. The flavor together were outstanding. It was hard to choose between all the delicious looking desserts but I chose the "better than sex" signature dessert. Let me just say, it was SPECTACULAR!!!! My husband chose a different dessert and I can't remember the name, but it was equally amazing!!! If your in Key West, don't miss out on this place! It will be put on my regular places to visit when in Ley West!

Good-ness... What can I say about Better than Sex? My wife and I went in, not really sure what to expect. My wife thought that from looking from the outside, we were going into a seedy, sleaze factory. As we walked in, we saw that this couldn't be farther from the truth. It was exquisitely decorated with reds blacks and whites, the lighting was exclusively candlelight and lovely, sexy female and male art, very tastefully done. The hostess sat us and gave us each an iPad that acted as the menu. We decided to stake in their dark chocolate dipped glass with the "slip inside" Irish cream drink. It was very nice. I ordered the "Jungle Fever" and my wife had the "Twist and Stout." Mine was really good... But my wife's.... To die for! It was a moist deep chocolate cake with a chocolate beer stout frosting and glaze. I am not a beer fan... But WOW!! Perfection! It was also served with an Irish cream ice cream. It was named the 2014 top chef winner for s reason!! These guys would get six stars if they had a full bar.

We were in Key West for a bachelorette party and we've all been wanting to try Better Than Sex and I'm SO GLAD we did! We had a large party (8) and we were sure to make reservations a week ahead of time. We were seated at 6:30 in the back room. The Ambiance, the service and the dessert was top notch! I'm not much of a chocolate person-- but I couldn't help but try a little bit of everyone's dessert. It was so good!

Cassie G.

After a late and filling lunch in Key West, we weren't looking for a full blown dinner so a dessert restaurant sounded ideal. After having this place bookmarked for years, I was so excited to finally make it this time. Here's what we got: 1. Carly's Button - Paringa "sparkling" shiraz in a dark chocolate rimmed wine glass. These "rim job" wine drinks are what dreams are made of. Red wine and dark chocolate are a no-fail combination and BTS makes it simpler to enjoy the two together. 2. Chocolate Grilled Cheese - "Danish brie cheese & dark Belgian chocolate grilled on homestyle buttered bread kissed with cinnamon sugar. Served snuggled up against a shot of strawberry champagne soup." I'm still dreaming of this sandwich today. I'd suggest enjoying the soup separate from the sandwich to get the full cheesy, chocolately experience. I never thought of pairing dark chocolate and Brie and now it's All. I. Ever. Think. About. 3. Better Than Sex - The restaurant's namesake, this was a dark chocolate pumpernickel bread pudding with dark cherries, served with white chocolate mousse. This was as rich as it sounds and equally delicious. We left on a sugar high (in the best way possible). The service was great and super quick, as the desserts are seemingly ready to go. They even decorated our plate with "Happy Anniversary" since that's what we were celebrating! The dimly lit atmosphere of the place is truly romantic, but I could also see myself having fun here with some girlfriends. Word to the wise - they take reservations and on this Saturday night, we ended up walking into a wait of an hour. The good news it that they take your phone number and text you when your table is almost ready so it's easy to go and grab a drink on Duval Street while you wait.

Peter T.

Review based on take out dining experience only. Better than sex - 3.75 stars, they have two award winning items on list and they are better than sex and grilled cheese with Brie and chocolate. I opted for the better than sex which is half chocolaty bread pudding half silky brownie. It was pretty good but nothing I would order again, nor was it worth $10. If I had a lady at key west this might be a fun slightly kinky place to go. If I just want great dessert, I'll probably skip.

Felix P.

If you can find another place like this in the U.S., buy it...and make a fortune. The place is jammed and only serves desert. The selections are completely unique. Each one we tried was amazing. Brie pastry bites, sorbet, donut holes with a hot liquid cheesecake dip. Chocolate rimmed root beer float. Unbelievable.

Traci R.

I love everything about Better Than Sex. The ambiance, the decor, the menu, etc etc. I ordered The Klimax which was delicious! Red sparkling wine with a glass glazed in white chocolate. Such a good pairing. We then ordered: the Adult Grilled Cheese: This is chocolate and brie, toasted between two pieces of bread and then served with a strawberry champagne soup. Listen. Listen. Delicious. My only issue is that I don't really like chocolate lol I know. Stone me. So after awhile, it was just too much chocolate for me to tolerate BUT it's such a delicious combination. And i just ended up drinking the champagne soup. It's out of this world good. the Twist and Stout. My date loved it. It became sugar-overload after awhile so he didn't finish but he really liked it! The service is awesome. Definitely make a reservation because this place gets booked fast!

Vanessa L.

Sex is still better than the desserts here! The desserts were good. We had the "better than sex" which was ok. Good and different. Like I said it wasn't better than sex but it was good. We also had some drinks which were delicious. The coffee with the chocolate rim was phenomenal. It was probably my favorite thing I got from that place. We also got the money shot which was really tasty and a chocolate stout with a white chocolate rim. Everything was good. Not life changing but good. I would recommend to friends to check out. It is an awesome dining experience. Tip: make reservations because places sell out quick. I heard a couple saying they weren't able to go another time because there were no empty seats.

Let me start out by saying, I am quite the foodie and prior to visiting Key West I did quite the lengthy research behind must-try places to eat. I found better than sex and thought it was an interesting concept that you definitely don't see everyday. We arrived for dessert after having dinner down the street at a different restaurant. For starters, the ambiance is super cool! Never seen anything like it. Our server was super friendly and greeted us by saying "hello beautifuls!" We ordered the jungle fever and peanut perversion. When they brought it our table, they stuck with the theme of the restaurant by asking who the pervert was. I also got a coffee which was to die for and I wish they sold it to bring home. Has a tint of cinnamon and trust me, I've had plenty of coffee flavors but this was nothing like what I've ever had. If you're in town and have time to check this gem out, I would highly suggest doing so!

Chocolate dipped wine- is this real life?! I've been to KW a handful of times but just discovered this magical place due to yelp. We went for a friend's bday and it was 4 of us. I should have been smart and made a reservation but I figured it being low season it shouldn't be a big deal. Well I was wrong. They originally quoted a 90 minute wait. We sat on the couches for not even 5 minutes and the host said something opened and we can be seated now woohoo! Thank you desert gods! The menus are iPads which was awesome bc you can see pictures of everything. The wine I got was jakas yum yum which was a red blend with dark chocolate rimmed glass. It was amazing. I had 2. I wanted 20. I was torn between two desserts the peanut butter perversion or the red velvet cheescake. I asked the waitress to just surprise me and bring whichever one. She brought the red velvet and it was insanely good. Omg mouthgasm to the Nth degree. Everyone at the table thought it was great and some don't like either cheescake or red velet. The ambiance is very romantic. Dark lit and very Sex vibe. It's on the pricy side but definitely worth it.

WHAT EXACTLY IS IT ALL ABOUT ? ? ? In basic terms, it's a dessert restaurant serving up homemade specialties and some interesting drinks... BUT in actuality it's so much more... IT'S MEANT TO BE AN EXPERIENCE When I first came here years ago, the waitress "played a part" beyond just taking an order; she spoke like a 1-800 phone sex operator describing menu choices and drinks very provocatively.... THIS BEHAVIOR is EXACTLY what put this place on the map... Unfortunately, they rarely "PLAY THE PART" anymore and it's more like any other late night dessert shop. It's a shame too because when I bring "first timers" here they expect more; in a hopeful measure, I request a server that "plays the part" when I call in for reservations (whether that works I have no idea). Another detail lacking over the years too is the lights are on more than the past. It used to be intimately dark requiring a flashlight; now it's dark but not as intimate. Ever since they moved out of Bahama Village (old location), the vibe has become more commercial and less intimate. Although the red crystal chandeliers and red/black decor is truly unique. WHATCHA EATING ? ? ? Dessert (mostly chocolate) in a sense is SEXY... possibly even an aphrodisiac; add a menu that reads risquÃ©... time for the prudes to step aside but no worries... it's just dessert (NOT AN ORGY).... Over the years, I have tried nearly every dish... a couple stand out as excellent dishes but the majority are lackluster to expectations. Maybe every dish isn't amazing but reading the menu can be entertaining... examples of dessert names: Cookie Nookie Pie Tongue Bath Truffle Missionary Crisp Kinky Key West Cream Pie Better yet, here's some exerts from the menu descriptions: "cherries swimming in a mÃ©nage a trios of chocolates" "you'll be sure to get some nookie when you spoon up this sweetie" "stands erect on a bed of double chocolate cookie dough crust" WHAT ARE YOU LICKING ? ? ? Most of the kinky drinks here are referred to as "RIM JOBS"... Now, we are know what a RIM JOB is but at "Better Than Sex" it's just another play on words. Basically a glass is dipped in a rim covered sweet treat... think of the salt rimmed glass of a margarita but instead of margarita you have beer or wine and instead of salt you have caramel or chocolate... Best yet, when they bring your glass out it's always a riot to have a server yell out a loud and boisterous "WHO WANTS THE RIM JOB?" And for even more fun, watch the room for others already enjoying one... YOU WILL always find that one couple that is licking the glass not to miss a bit of chocolate... Our favorite was the 80ish year old couple that was licking their glass very erotically (GOOD FOR THEM). MY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE 1st TIME COUPLE Splurge and indulge; 2 desserts and 2 rims jobs... it's the best way to enjoy. I'd recommend: CHOCOLATE GRILLED CHEESE (brie cheese and dark chocolate; every woman loves it), BETWEEN MY RED VELVET SHEETS (cheesecake and cookie dough pie shell and a cream filling), MANDY'S MAN CANDY (Fruli strawberry beer with white and dark chocolate rim job) and CARAMEL OVER ME (moscato with caramel rim job). IS THE "EXPERIENCE" WORTH IT ? ? ? YES (for sure) if you are visiting Key West YES if you are a local for once in awhile

The food and ambience are quite nice. The cookie nookie pie was my dessert of choice and it was great both times we visited. My wife tried a couple of items creme brÃ»lÃ©e and the "grilled cheese" both weren't as good as my dessert. Unfortunately the price is quite high for dessert. You can't get out of this place without spending 50 on dessert and drinks! Outside of price I have no complaints.

Better Than Sex is fantastic and, as its name implies, some of the best desserts you will ever try. I had the Peanut Butter Perversion and it was decadent. This pie was sweet, melt in your mouth, and full of peanut butter flavor with pieces of crumbly chocolate and chocolate chip cookie dough crust. Basically one of the best desserts I have ever tried. I also had a toffee beer in a caramel rimmed glass with heath bar pieces. The beer could have been a dessert of its own but complimented the pie perfectly. Better Than Sex is a unique experience, perfect for a romantic night out and a must visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.

They should be ashamed of how delicious the desserts are! Wink, wink We had the Chocolate Grilled Cheese and the Banana Bazooka, both beautifully presented and amazing. We will be back after dinner every evening for the rest of our visit to sample everything.

A great dining experience. The most expensive chocolate milk I'll probably ever buy. But so worth it. The environment was awesome. Mandy, our waiter was pleasant and have nice recommendations. I had the chocolate milk with the popcorn cheesecake. Both were excellent. My boyfriend had the cookie nookie which he enjoyed. It was all so worth it.

Best dessert my wife has ever had. She raved about it for days, so I guess the place lives up to its name ;). I had one of the coffee drinks with a caramel glass, and she had the apple crisp. Both were excellent. I also had the raspberry sherbet which was incredible. BEST DESSERT EVER.

I have the BIGGEST sweet tooth. I couldn't wait to come here. It was cozy and romantic and the interactive iPad menus were a nice touch. We ordered the missionary crisp and my husband enjoyed a couple of the beers in the rimmed glasses. I loved the dessert--it had big chunks of apple, delicious vanilla ice cream, and crisp caramel on top. My only complaint was that for those who don't have a huge sweet tooth (like my husband) there aren't other options, but alas it is a dessert place :)

I guess I'd classify this place as the ideal Tinder meet-up spot. It's basically a wine/dessert bar with sort of a wink-wink sexual vibe. Order a glass of wine, get the namesake dessert and make awkward, inappropriate jokes with your date for an hour or so before you hit the bars.

Rick H.

Sensual. Sexual. Defiantly a place to turn things up and or go into a diabetic coma. Everything is decadent, savory and plentiful. She got a wine to pair with her finger French toast Brie cheese sticks with strawberry purÃ©e to dip in. I got a coffee with Irish cream to go with my better than sex dessert. It was all amazing. Chocolate galore!!! Take your insulin shots upon arrival or you'll be in sugar overload. We'll definitely return when we come back to the keys. A must visit.

Our first night in Key West, after a somewhat disappointing dinner somewhere, my hubby and I came here (no pun intended) for dessert to celebrate our anniversary and we were not disappointed! We got lucky that it was a Thursday night, the hostess was super nice, and she sat us right away (I would advice making reservations, especially on the weekends). The decor and ambiance was very sensual, with small intimate tables, candlelight, and some arousing photos (but tastefully done). There is an age restriction to dine here, off course. I love the fact that the desserts are home made by the owners, who have been married for several years. I cannot remember the name of the dessert, it was a warm pie with ice cream on top, and it was delicious! I had a hot coffee with Irish cream, and the glass rim was covered in chocolate! Omg! The hubby has a beer, and the glass rim was covered in caramel with toffee crumbs. I'm usually not that adventurous, but when I tried the beer it was insane! I believe it was called the sticky icky, lol. The prices were very reasonable too.

A return trip proved much better then the first. Arrived rather early and received a nice cozy dark booth and the Ipad menu. Decided on a carolyns kiss (white wine with carmel rim) and Ephemerre for him with some sort of rim as well. Both were very tasty, very sweet. Also tried a white & sticky, and adult apple and a banana dessert which was very good but again, very sweet. Drinks were from $8.00 to $16.00a piece depending on the champagne in it. It's a nice experience to try in key west. Very cozy sexy and romantic, great music, very very sweet food and drink so for that I don't know if I'd go back. If I did I would get the champagnes without the rim and just enjoy it that way,Our total bill with 5 champagnes & 3 beers & 1 dessert was $114.

MAKE RESERVATIONS! - they are a must. This place was great - great desserts, fun creative drinks (glasses dipped in chocolate or caramel. The waitress that delivered our stuff was a little over the top (lol) but it definetly goes with the theme of the place.

Julia T.

RisquÃ© and dim-lit, this little dessert restaurant does not disappoint. The service was excellent, and the menu was easy to access in the relative dark on bright iPads. No squinting or iPhone flashlights necessary! The flickering candlelight provides an intimate ambiance, and the quiet music from every era only adds to it. The desserts are nothing short of works of art- we ordered the banana bazooka and the cookie nookie. Both were well-executed and creative, as well as delicious. The chocolate-rimmed glasses are a new and indulgent take on your average wineglass, and the coffee is strong but sweet. We loved it here!

Loooove this sexy dessert restaurant. I wish they had one in Fort Lauderdale. The dessert is amazing. I would definitely go again. I had the missionary crisp. Amazing apple pie with ice-cream

A night at Better Than Sex will be a night you will remember with butterflies in your belly, especially if you go with your other half. I will say it up front, while your first instinct is to go for the desserts (after all, it is a dessert restaurant), try and go for the experience first, and then everything else will fall into place. Yes, you might find better and cheaper key lime pie somewhere else in Key West, but everywhere else in Key West you will probably eat it while surrounded by dead fish on wooden walls and drunken sailor songs... Not here. Here you will enter a world of sultry, silky deliciousness. The place is dark inside, with just enough lighting for your loved one to see you biting your lips without the neighboring people noticing. This is the reason why their menus are iPads, since having "sex/dessert" in the dark might come naturally to us humans but reading in poor lighting not so much. The music is jazzy and romantic. The rimmed glasses are covered with sticky yumminess we love such as warm caramel, dark chocolate and honey. If you take all this in forgetting for a moment about what drunken bar to hit next, or which bathing suit to be worn tomorrow, by the time you both finish your dessert, key lime pie or not, you will feel like going back to your hotel room and testing the theory of this restaurants' name.

Recommended stop by family. Had the Saratoga sparkling water and the kinky key lime pie. It wasn't like your typical key lime pie but this place isn't typical. All their desserts are unique. We couldn't decide as we also liked the better than sex chocolate cake. Their menus are on iPads. Nice touch because pictures say a thousand words. Great service and lovely atmosphere. Very romantic. I loved everything about this place. And so close to our hotel - block or so away from the Chelsea house.

Allan Jay G.

I must admit... i love desserts and this place was da bomb. Obviously not for kids and just for couples and possibly at the most a group of four. We had the Better than Sex Dessert, Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake and Jungle Fever. I also drank a mug of Irish creme Coffee with Dark Chocolate Rim on the mug. We had Kristy as our server and was great. Overall this dessert restaurant is must for all couples... my wifey was very happy that I surprised taking her here... now she allowed me to buy that new camera... mahalo Better than Sex desserts ;-D

Out of this world! Must try for a the experience and friendly staff. As soon as we walking in the door, the ambiance provided a very romantic atmosphere. The staff were all aware that we were celebrating our anniversary. The menu was on iPads...super trendy and fun! the darkness and close seating was very romantic. You cannot beat the rim jobs!!!! And finally a place that takes great craft beers and incorporates them into dessert! bravo! Not just wine anymore...although they have that too! I believe I had the better than sex and my husband had donut holes with cheesecake dipping sauce...His beer was with vanilla ice cream and white chocolate rim and mine was with dark chocolate. Roses on the table, a candle and happy anniversary! You have to go here for the experience but also for the desserts and RIM JOBS!!!!

Brian E.

I am not much of a dessert guy, but this is one of those places that does the entire experience just about perfectly. The atmosphere is casual elegance. The staff is friendly, educated on the product and very attentive. The desserts themselves are creative, fun and incredibly well done. I had the "one night stand" (their term for the desert du jour) last evening and it was the most amazing creme brÃ»lÃ©e I have ever eaten: buttery, sweet, balanced. They garnished the plate with some crumble and a couple of shortbread cookies with fresh whipped cream. They offer a variety of wines, beers and coffees served in cups rimmed with chocolate, caramel and other delights. I decided to forgo the fancy sweet beverage and chose a dogfishhead 90 minute IPA instead. Overall, this was an A+ experience. I would recommend skipping dinner before coming here. Maybe a late lunch and then straight to dessert.

This restaurant is fantastic for anyone who loves sweets. Even the drinks have melted chocolate around the rims, but be aware this costs extra. The all nighter coffee with dark chocolate and blueberry beer with white chocolate were the perfect accompaniment to our desserts. When deciding on your dessert, keep in mind that they are proportioned to share and if you dont share, come hungry. My fiance and I decided to split 2 and I was glad we did not eat prior as they were filling. Both desserts were pricey but well worth it. Our first dessert was the Fork-You Fondue. These donut holes with cheesecake fondue were light and great if you have had dinner and are still kind of full. Theyre not too sweet and you get to decide just the right amount of added sweet. Our second dessert was the Between My Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake This was very rich and very filling. I could taste both the red velvet and the cheesecake at the same time which was an interesting combination. The waitstaff was very nice. It is a bit dark, but they have all their menus on easy to use tablets. The decor and menu descriptions make it an adults only restaurant.

One of my friends suggested we try this place while we were on our girls trip this past weekend. It's definitely an experience that I'd suggest you try once. The inside is decorated with chandeliers, metal tiled ceilings, etc. The space is relatively small and dimly lit, so the menu is on an iPad and you receive a tiny flashlight to so you can illuminate things to see them. The menu is decently sized and all desserts are made in-house. I found the drinks interesting too. For instance, one of my friends got champagne with a glass that was rimmed/dripping with caramel and what appeared to be toffee bits, which she loved. I opted for the Peanut Butter Perversion which is the lightest, silkiest, tastiest peanut butter pie over a chocolate cookie crust which was equally delicious. It was my fave dessert of the bunch. I also tried my friend's chocolate stout pie which was good, especially if you like the flavor of stouts, and I tried the For You Fondue which are tiny cinnamon covered donut holes which you dunk in a melted cheesecake fondue. The donut holes were my fave thing on that plate because I didn't get a real, cheesecakey taste from the dip. All in all, this is a cute place to visit with your friends - or your boo. It's different, the desserts are good, the service is good, and it's just fun.

I'm so glad we were able to get in for dessert and wine here - only wished we would have skipped dinner so we would have had more room. The chocolate-dipped glass of red wine was to die for, as was the chocolate grilled cheese with brie. Dark atmosphere creates the perfect romantic evening, and great recommendations from the bar tenders. I highly recommend.

What an amazing experience. The decor to the staff all pros. From the minute you enter to the cool street side exit door. Oh and the desserts holy moly ! All priced very reasonable blew us away. Thanks for the hospitality ! Our daughter and her friends enjoyed her 21st there big time.

Nisha D.

So let me start with the experience.. Nice cosy little place. Good for couples, I wouldn't recommend it at al for family / kids. The service was decent - our servers told us the history of the restaurant and the specials - Tried the "better than sex" dessert- bread pudding that tasted like a rich Choc cake- overall it was very good.

Ran into this place by accident. Checked reviews and decided to give it a try around 11:30pm without reservation. Waited about 20 minutes before seated. We had Kinky Key Lime, Tongue Bath Truffle and one of the rim job champagne. Very high quality dessert and drink. Very friendly service. Interesting decors! Highly recommended. Reservation is also recommended, albeit the wait is worthy.

Better Than Sex??? If you think TGI Fridays and The Cheesecake Factory are better than sex, then "yes." My wife and I went to BTS following a wonderful dinner at the Marquesa. I would describe us as fairly sophisticated diners who, conveniently, have fabulous sex, so our expectations were high given the name of the restaurant. My wife and I have been coming to Key West together for several years and have passed BTS many times. It is one of the first things you see as you enter the old town on Truman/US-1. We have been intending to go to BTS for some time, but always had other plans. Curiously, even though we come to Key West often, no one there has ever recommended this place to us. Rather, mentioning BTS to a local invites a curiously stoic reaction uncharacteristic of Key West's exuberance. When entering BTS, you are greeted with a warning sign indicating that the desserts are "rich." After being seated, you are given a second "warning" that the dessert chef has no formal training. Neither is a deal breaker per se. We have had fabulous over-the-top desserts in the past. And my mother is from Europe and is an exquisite pastry chef with no formal training. When we looked over the menu there was nothing particularly tempting to us. Rather, everything appeared rather "gooey." So, we settled upon something advertised as "award" winning (a chocolate/beer cake of some kind), and a chocolate rimmed drink. With respect to the cake, we received an uninspired twist on lava cake (an already hackneyed dessert concept in the world of desserts), accompanied by "ice cream" -- not actual ice cream, but a pearly white viscous invention made to resemble, well, something associated with sex (no shortages of sexual references and innuendo here). The chocolate used on the "rimmed" glass (yes, an homage to you know what) was unexceptional -- akin to the chocolate used in a chocolate fountain. We left two thirds of the dessert behind. When we left, we (and our stomachs) were quite upset, and I intended to write a scathing review of BTS. But, I decided not to do that, as I think this place has an audience -- evidenced, in part, by the numerous 4 and 5 star reviews here and superlatives used in them like "outstanding, "fantastic," and "perfect." Obviously, my wife and I are not the intended audience. But, I am not the intended audience for Bruce Springsteen, yet his music speaks to people and he somehow manages to sell millions of records without me. With that, let me explain my two star rating... The restaurant industry is divided into a number of categories ranging from fast food to fine dining. In the middle there is something known as "casual dining." Casual dining ranges from TGI Fridays to so-called "upscale casual dining" establishments like The Cheesecake Factory. The desserts at BTS fall into this area -- think of TGI Friday's "Oreo Madness," or "Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake" and similar offerings from The Cheesecake Factory. Despite some gripes about this place being expensive, it is very inexpensive by South Florida standards. If you are in your 20s and do not have a lot of money, this would be a cute place to take your girlfriend for dessert and a laugh (you will get the reference to "creampie" which most people over 50 probably will not). Or, if a nice dinner out for you is TGI Fridays or The Cheesecake Factory, then BTS will not disappoint. If, however, you have a more sophisticated palette, enjoy fine dining, or have experienced truly great desserts -- the intense chocolate of French Broad Chocolate Lounge in Asheville, decadently sweet Cuban pastries from Vicky Bakery in Miami, or sublime cakes and pies from Chocolate Pi at the Epicurean Hotel in Tampa, to name a few -- then avoid BTS.

Skip dinner one of the nights you're in Key West, and just come here. And make sure you come here with someone who will put the "Better Than Sex" motto to the challenge with you afterward because the atmosphere in this place is so boudoir-sexy, intimate, romantic. That's before you are even served what is going to be the best dessert of your life. Definitely try the spiced coffee with the caramel rim, whatever you do. The caramel is homemade and ...orgasmic is the word to describe it. For my dessert, I had the Banana Bazooka and I'd have it again, and again, and again. My friend and I went in just as the sun was about to go down on a Friday night. We were taken right in and seated by a friendly hostess, taken up by a friendly, happy server, and treated to great service. Make sure you make a reservation, as this place gets packed quickly after the dinner-hours are over.

This place is unique! It is a husband and wife owned dessert restaurant. I came here with my fiancÃ© for his birthday. Our waiter was "King Taylor",he was attentive and personable. We ordered 3 desserts, my favorite was the peanut butter perversion! It was delicious! I do suggest calling ahead to make a reservation, we had one and were sat immediately. The decor puts you in a sexy mood as well. The menus are displayed on iPads which made me feel right at home. Lol

Wow I wish we just skipped dinner and came here instead. Very filling. Wonderful service , the absolute most delicious coffee I have ever had in my life (coffee in my cream is a glass coffee mug dipped in about 2 inches of chocolate and served with home made baileys Irish cream on the side. The cookie nookie..... No words can describe how delicious this was. Totally a must do when in key west.

Fantastic array of desserts and drinks, all with a unique flare. This is the perfect date spot to set the mood. I recommend the banana bazooka and the banana hammock (can you tell I love bananas?) The bazooka is a dessert with just the right amount of banana and sweetness, not overwhelming. The banana hammock is banana beer rimmed with sweet caramel. I am coming back for sure!! Please make reservations as this place sells out fast!

I had a different review posted. The owner reached out to me immediately, for that reason, I have decided to take it as a one off and change my review. My situation was probably not indicative of the atmosphere on a regular basis.

Chip R.

My girlfriend and I stopped here for wine and dessert on Sunday night. We each had a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon dipped in a semi-sweet chocolate. For a house wine, the cab sav was very good and the chocolate dipped glass paired well together. As a dessert, we split the "Cookie Nookie Pie". This was good but taste pretty much like any other cookie pie dessert I've had before.
(3)
Dustyn S.

Let's start off by saying that a place specializing in desserts is not going to be cheap by any stretch of the imagination. I had a choco-coffee with white chocolate drizzled on the rim of the glass along with a chocolate and Brie grilled cheese. It was all very good. No complaints about the taste, the quality, or the service. But $70 for 4 drinks and 2 desserts is highway robbery. Definitely worth checking out once in your lifetime, but unless you're made of money I don't think this will be a stop-in every time you pull through Key West. ** they also claim to have a patent on the concept of coating the rim of a glass with chocolate and that they are the only ones in the WORLD doing this- I honestly hope nobody (including the owners/staff) TRULY believes that the rest of the WORLD is banned from serving drinks with the rims of glasses coated in chocolate. But hey, it IS key west and anything is believable!

Sarah W.

I'm not sure what made me rate 5 stars the chocolate dipped glass of wine or our server taylor. This place is key west gold. Although I'm only on a girls trip I couldn't pass up coming to this romantic spot. The chocolate grilled cheese was to die for. We came on a Wednesday night so it wasn't that busy but I'm sure a reservation is strongly recomended for the weekend.

Save some room at dinner from wherever you were before this! Very unique drinks and desserts. Try the drinks with the glazed delicious rims. Cool iPad menus, dark and sensual atmosphere. This is a must-try place in key west!

Heather R.

It was excellent, however I was expecting something completely different and a little weird. It was really just a dimly lit dessert restraunt with some sexy dish names. That being said, the food was great. The grilled cheese and chocolate sandwich was excellent along with the root beer float and tongue bath truffle (flourless tort with raspberry sorbet). Slightly overpriced but again good food.
(4)
Ryan K.

One word: Overpriced. That being said lets breakdown the food / service we got. I made a 10:45pm reservation and we arrived a few (at most 3) minutes early. We sat in the reception area for a good 10 minutes. We sat at a ok table that was surrounded by booths. It was nice and dark inside but they had iPads that were set to a blindingly bright setting for menus that were clunky at best. What happened to the romance of a nice paper menu and some candle light? The drinks (wife had a chocolate rimmed red wine and I had a "adult" rootbeer "float" with caramel on the rim) were bad. The "adult" rootbeer was a glorified over sweetened Belgian ale and the caramel sauce on the rim was gritty. The chocolate sauce on the rim of my wife's drink appeared to be nothing more than Magic Shell. The deserts were at best ok. I had the Key Lime pie. They warned me when I ordered it that it was not the norm but the waitress stated I would still like it. Until the piece they brought out I had yet to meet a Key Lime pie that I did not like. I was only able to choke down about half of it. The wife ordered the apple pie dish that came with some ice cream. The ice cream was the only good part. Overall the bill was $55! That would be acceptable if the desert was actually "better than sex" instead we both left in a grumpy diabetic shock....

When wife & I booked our Key West trip, Better Than Sex was what we looked forward to the most. We even made reservations for every night of our trip! I guess our expectations were let down. We expected a wilder, louder atmosphere with a more playful staff. Our server(s) really seemed to go through the motions and weren't really into the whole theme of the restaurant. Not that we expected strippers and models to serve us, but the people we dealt with could have been straight out of an Applebee's commercial. Was the dessert good? Maybe that was the most disappointing part of all. I had the Cookie Nookie, which was very good but still below my expectations. Wife had a "one night stand" dessert that was supposed to resemble tiramisu in a glass but it was a watery, liquory mix of ... well, not tiramisu. Between the desserts and a coffee drink (the chocolate covered glass rim was delicious, as was the Baileys, but the coffee was meh), the bill was $40 with tip. When the realization hit me that we paid $40 for dessert plus $10 in cab fare to get to the restaurant, we felt disappointed and cancelled the rest of our reservations for the rest of our trip. As it turned out, Better Than Sex was not better than sex. Go over their menu in advance. Anything that's been on there for a while probably is worth ordering. Stay up on the prices, know that it's not THAT wild of a place, make sure it's worth exploring with the people you're with and hopefully you'll have a better time than we did.

Sex was better. The feel and vibe of the place- great. Very dimly lit and full of old world charm. You're definitely in need of a reservation so be sure to make one. The menu was filled with sexual innuendos and made the whole experience very playful. We sat down on time for our reservation. Our party of 5 ordered 4 desserts, a root bear float, a dessert beer and a round of ice water. Our server was okay at first. She played her roll as the tongue in cheeky flirty waitress discussing the options of a rim job on more than 3 occasions. Orders were taken, and our excitement grew. Drinks came first. The dessert beer with caramel rim job was said to be delicious. The root beer float- also good. The better than sex award winning chocolate bread pudding was kinda bland. The cookie nookie was probably the best at the table. The red velvet cheese cake was sour tasting and shouldn't even have been ordered. Then there was the Jungle Fever. Unfortunate, we never got to try it because our waitress never put the order in and then lied and said the kitchen forgot. After everyone basically finished the desserts, one of the members in our party declared to another server she rather not even eat it at this point since everyone else already got to enjoy their desserts. Once this message was relayed, the server never came to apologize and instead cancelled the order. She came back with an attitude and stated, " I went ahead and cancelled it out. It's ready and everything but that's what you said you wanted so I did it." She put us all in a bad mood and we just wanted to leave. The nice manager came to apologize and did the right thing by comping the drinks. Finally, the waters arrived. Cassie, kiss my assy.

If you love very sweet desserts- this is your place! No complaints on the food or drinks. However, we were full after our amazing dinner elsewhere, and definitely over-ordered since we each ordered a dessert and drink. We left in a sugar coma. The service was great, and they even decorated our desserts for our anniversary. Doing something little like writing "happy anniversary" on a dessert plate goes a long way. Thank you.

Great service, amazing desserts and the drinks are really good. I enjoyed the 10-year Port on a chocolate rimmed glass. The cookie is amazing and so is the Brie with chocolate. Nice place for a romantic evening.

I can't stop anything that hasn't already been said. We called after dinner and managed to get a time slot for 30 minutes later. Dark sensual interior with lots of small areas for couples. I had a coffee drink with caramel dripping down the sides. She had a chocolate dessert called Twist and Stout that she still raves about.

While the concept of this place is unique and sassy, I was expecting a bit more. Don't get me wrong, the desserts are fresh and made from high quality ingredients, but the service was meh and the atmosphere left a little to be desired. However, the place is tiny so make a reservation. The hostess assumed we had been there before and left some tablet menus on the table without saying anything else. The table looked like a wooden fast food table. We had a cozy little booth, so that was a plus. The waitress explained the menu and how to order and also gave us flashlights because it was extremely dark in there. The flashlight was too bright to comfortably use, though. The quality of wines were not the best, but all of the glasses are rimmed with chocolate or caramelized sugar. Very delicious! They have some unique beer options and chocolate beer drinks as well. I'd recommend getting the Rose champagne and white chocolate glass. Amazing combo. Our desserts were good, but not worth finishing or taking home. No one finished theirs and we didn't order another drink. If you're an avid dessert eater, this place may be for you. Otherwise, take a pass.

If I could give this place more stars i would! The reviews and pictures do not do the restaurant justice. Very romantic, intimate setting. And a great place to stop by after eating at one of the restaurants in Duval since it does open at 6 and it is strictly a dessert restaurant. The sever I had was extremely nice and just as helpful when it came to matching drinks with dessert. The menus are iPads and I love this idea because it shows you a picture of what you'll be ordering(yes the picture is true to way will be arriving at your table). To go with the name of the restaurant, there WILL be a lot of sexual innuendos, but it's all in good fun. I ordered a cookie nookie with sex appeal which is moscato with a "rim job" of white chocolate. And I'm still dreaming about what I ordered. Definitely will visiting again.

With a name like that, how can you not go in? My husband and I spotted this restaurant while on vacation and decided we just had to try it. While they usually only do reservations, we were on a stand by list and got a table. It's a very dark place with drinks and dessert. The menus light up, I thought that was uber cool. Everything ofocurse is sexual, and they have sexy card games on the table. The prices were pretty steep for the quality of the food but you're paying for the ambience and atmosphere. It was a great unique date that I would recommend if you're in the area.

The idea is great, but the execution... Not so much. Our waiter was wonderful; overall the service was top-notch. The problem was the desserts. I want to be very clear here- I am a dessert person. I love sweets. But this was pretty disappointing. We had the chocolate grilled cheese, the missionary crisp, and the banana bazooka. The grilled cheese was interesting; a good mix of salty and sweet, but the bread they use has too heavy of a crust. They should use challah or brioche instead. The crisp was good, but had this strange slightly burned flavor. Maybe the caramel was burned? I don't know; it definitely did not measure up to others I've had. Then there was the god-awful banana bazooka. The crepes were partially raw, and the whole thing was covered in this gross banana pudding-type sauce. Horrible.

This is such a cool amazing restaurant. It felt like an adult dessert restaurant. We happen to come on the last day of life as they know it at their original location on Petronia St.. Tonight they will will moving down to a new home on Simonton St. They put it out there on Facebook for everyone to come join in on their moving crawl party from the original spot to their new home. It sounded so much fun but we didn't stay. We did however feast on Jungle Fever and Peanut butter perversion and they were great. I had a homemade ginger soda with caramel drizzled all over the glass..it was amazing!! This is a very romantic delicious experience you must try! It is travel channel recommended and one of a kind!

This desert lounge has a nice sexy ambiance, deserts that conotate sexual innuendos and drinks to match. Pricey, but you pay for the desert quality and the strain of reading in the dark. Lol all about the experience, but not better than actual Intercourse, cuz that is actually free. one star for lying to me

I went with a large group of girls for a bachelorette getaway at Key West in late Feb. 2012 and we went to this place one night for desserts and drinks. We had a fabulous time, the desserts were delicious and the drinks were addicting! Here's a run down of the desserts we got: Better than Sex - Their signature dessert, was UNBELIEVABLE! The pudding was divine and the creamy sauce just completed the dish. I ended up going once more before our vacation was over just to get another one of these desserts. Peanut Butter Perversion - If you love peanut butter, GET THIS! It's decadent, creamy, smooth peanut buttery goodness! Grilled Cheese - This dessert was really delicious and addicting. At first I was reluctant to dip it in the raspberry sauce, but the sauce really compliments the grilled cheese well. Key Lime Pie - Out of all the desserts this wasn't the favorite. I didn't try it because I don't care for Key lime pie, but the others who tried it were not impressed. They were shocked because considering this is located in the capital of key lime desserts, they thought it would blow them away. I can't name all of the drinks all of us got because it was just too many. All I remember was "Mandy's Man Candy" my drink of choice, which was just amazing. It's strawberry beer served in a glass with a chocolate rim job, it was just really delicious. Most of the other girls got different wines in rimmed glasses and they were all happy with their choices. All in all, I can't wait to return to Key west, I will definitely be going back to "Better than Sex"!

The desserts are really bad. We had the dessert sampler, which include their best three dessert samples - red velvet cheese cake, bread pudding, and chocalate moist cake. Very disappointing, below average. Since I really like desserts, so I decided to give another of their favorite items a try- grilled chocolate cheese. But this one is even more disappointing. The bread is not toasty, chocolate is too bitter and cheese is not creamy and way overpower by the chocolate. Overall, this place is very gimmicky. It's more for show than for real good dessert. If this is better than sex, then human being is miserable.

Well obviously the name caught our attention. Actually, more than the name, the look of the place draws attention, with its dark windows and red lights. The concept of a dessert restaurant was definitely intriguing so we gave it a shot. Make a reservation. We had to wait half an hour to be seated. First thing you'll notice is that it's very dark and romantic. You sit down in little closed off booth things lit only by a single candle. The menu are unusually heavy backlit things. All the items have silly sexual names, and even sillier sexual descriptions, using every vaguely intimate verb and adjective there is. A little tiring. We ordered the Banana bazooka (not sexy at all actually) and the Between the red velvet sheets (or something like that). Here's our impressions: She said: The waitress was very... umm... informative. She went off talking about everything on the menu placing emphasis on the sexual things like the chocolate rimmed glasses they "rim jobbed." Needless to say, I was giggling by the time she asked me what I wanted. Unfortunately, they don't carry skim milk but they do have whole if you don't mind making do. At this point, you're not really thinking about calories. Anywho, the banana bazooka was pretty good. It has a light cinnamony taste mixed in with the creamy banana richness. It's kind of odd to define. It wasn't exactly a cake or a crepe but kind of in between but then again it was dark as hell and I couldn't see anything. When I opened the leftovers the next day it just looked like a giant gooey mess which was still very good. It also came with some sugar glass and some sort of caramel dip which were both very good. The red velvet between my sheets (or whatever) was meh. It was a good cheesecake but in all that darkness, I couldn't tell that I was eating red velvet. The ambiance is unlike any other place I've been. It's dark and sexy and mysterious. With each table surrounded by its own little privacy wall. I wonder what that restaurant looks like in full light... Anyway, a one of kind experience that's worth stopping in for. He said: Banana thing was gooood. Crepe and all that added some nice texture and banana flavor really stood out. Red velvet was ok, like she said, a good cheesecake but nothing more. I don't "get" red velvet. I don't even know why I ordered it, maybe I was hypnotized by all the red in the lighting. One thing she didn't mention is that were were both sweeted out by the end and had to take the rest back to the hotel with us. Definitely worth checking out. Next time I'm getting the peanut butter perversion (jesus christ). Also, pretty racist to call the chocolate and vanilla mixture dish "Jungle fever".

Rachel C.

I love the concept of this place and it has a great ambiance with stellar service but the deserts, despite their witty names were disappointing. I expected them to be unique and well crafted and instead we got something similar to what you would find at a Fridays. However, if you're looking for a fun stop on a girls night out I'd highly recommend it for the generous martinis, kitschy atmosphere and entertaining table topic cards.

I guess the big question that *everyone* asks is... "well, was it?" And like the answer in true life, I guess it depends on who or in this case what you had. I started with the Jadyn's Gyration, a Rogue Mocha Porter beer that received a rim job (that's what they call it) of dark Belgium chocolate around the glass. It gave the Rogue an extra hint of chocolate that it naturally has and at the same time made a mess all over my face with each sip. They'll do any glass with any beverage rimmed in dark or white chocolate or caramel. Everyone at the bar besides me was having an Adult Apple - cider with a caramel rim. The special tonight was a chocolate grilled cheese sandwich served with a side of prosecco infused strawberry soup. It was a People's Choice winner that the master chef had created for a recent contest. Damn was it tasty. It was one of those deserts, even I couldn't finish! French toast with a mixture of rich dark chocolate and brie cheese coating the insides while confectioner's sugar laid on top waiting for you to dig in face first. The soup was mind blowing and I wish it came in a bigger portion - it was served in a small tea cup. The prosecco gave it a light, bubbly, cooling taste while the pureed strawberries made your taste buds come alive and stand straight up. I wish I knew how they made it and yes, I will be experimenting at home trying to perfect this one. Enjoy!

Looking to escape the noisy tourist bars, we got a local recommendation for this place. Was she ever right! Incredibly fun and sexy. We didn't have a reservation but were invited to sit at the bar. As mentioned, it is incredibly dark, and you're given flashlights to read the menu. Sexy interior with red walls, and... wait, is that a giant purple dildo behind the bar?!? Why yes it is! We shared an Adult Apple, which is Ephemere beer in a glass rimmed with caramel. Absolutely delicious and fully decadent. We also shared the Peanut Butter Perversion, a huge slice of pie with delicately whipped silk pie on a cookie dough crust. Just what the doctor ordered.

Megan B.

What a unique place!! We double dated here because of all these yelp reviews and we were suprised!! We made reservations, and I'm glad we did because they were booked! It is very dark, they give you flash lights to view the menu, but there are fun card games...it was our first time here "Virgins" is what we were called, but the waitress was super fun and told us about every thing. This place isn't for kids, unless you want to explain to your kid what an orgasm cheesecake is, or a rim job on a strawberry beer. Lol. It's kinda expensive, but we were on vacation, it was a lot of fun!

What a delicious way to set the tone for a passionate night! Lighting is very dim (menus light up!), waitresses speak in innuendo, and even the drinks come with "rim jobs" (rims dipped in chocolate or caramel) XD ha! IMy boyfriend and I indulged in rich desserts and decadent, chocolate dipped drinks. So yummy and romantic. This is a must do for a couple if you're visiting Key West! Try the chocolate grilled cheese!

I had passed by this place almost daily while peddling back and forth to work. It always looked interesting, so I decided to finally check it out. The prices which range from about $8-$14 for a desert seemed a bit high, but for something exceptional that price range is acceptable. The ambience and staff are both excellent. I ordered a warm brownie with ice cream, it had a much more exotic name.. but I just can't remember what they called it. Nothing exotic here, and the desert reminded me of something you might find at a place such as Fridays. An under baked lacking in flavor brownie and two scoops slightly better then average vanilla ice cream. Priced at $9 it was rather mediocre at best. Now I wanted to like this place, but can not justify the expense when attached to what I felt was nothing more than average.

How wonderful to have such a great place, that makes all the desserts on premises, in Key West! Love the chocolate-Brie grilled cheese, the Peanut Butter Perversion (can only eat a little, it's so rich), the Cookie Nookie Pie and others, but my absolute favorite is the Banana Bazooka - crepes layered with bananas and creme and topped with caramel sauce. It's out-of-this-world. Also love the Kahlua shot (Mattie's Money Shot) with white chocolate ("Lubrication") on top. One of the places I will miss the most when we move. :-(

Location was a bit hidden but once we found it all was A-ok. Dim lighting, well decorated table & friendly(horny) staff help you choose off their dessert only menu. It's dark enough to were they give you mini flashlights to look over their menu. Perfect place if your honeymooning!

How can you NOT love a place that only serves decadent, homemade delicious desserts?! The restaurant's dark (you have to use a mini flashlight to read the menu), velvety decor adds to the spot's romantic/sexy appeal. Here's what our party ordered: the "Sugar Daddy Cheesecake," "Team Cream," and ... a strawberry torte (its suggestive title slips my mind at the moment). Yum. Everything was delicious and what makes the desserts even better is that they are homemade and are original creations! Love this place!

It's definitely trying to live up to its name! Try the signature dessert, "Better Than Sex," and the "Cookie Nookie." Clever menu backlit with LEDs and sinful desserts/cocktails. Go with a date or with a group of friends and you won't be disappointed.

Joe W.

I'm a fan, but be prepared to walk out with a $50 ticket at a minimum if it is just 2 of you. If it is more than that well..... be prepared! It's pricey, It's good, and the customer service was great. There are quiet a few things here that you just have to see for yourself. I have eaten here with my wife, and with clients as they were testing it out to have their wedding receptions after I recommended it to them. It can't handle large groups, but can handle small intimate groups, and they did a great job at it. Places like these are rare, so it's great to visit it atleast once to try it out. I recommend the grilled cheese, as you will be amazed how Grilled Cheeze and chocolate have an awesome taste, especially after drinking a Strawberry Beer in a glass dipped in chocolate!!

Great place for a date! Went with my boyfriend and we shared the "Between My Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake" -- really good! My favorite part of the experience though was the drink -- I got a dessert wine called "Sex Appeal" -- it features white chocolate on the rim and pink sugar sprinkles. It was absolutely delicious. I really liked this place a lot!

After the first bite of banana bazooka I informed my husband we would be coming back. Seriously, this is the best desert I've had - practically magical in its flavor and texture. I wasn't at all surprised to hear the owner is an award winning chef. Awesome. Don't leave Key West without trying it.

Skip dinner and come straight to Better Than Sex. What an amazing concept! But make reservations, because they are always full. Better Than Sex is a sexy restaurant that has dedicated itself to making desert a sensual art form. All the deserts and wines are created and named with sexual innuendos. My hubby and I shared the Cookie Nookie, and what a orgasmic experience that was. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in Key West........ YUM!

Jolyn C.

My boyfriend and I both agree that this is the favorite of our weekend in Key West. Service was outstanding, the wait staff was super friendly. The conversation starters on the table were a fun touch. Loved the ambiance, the music, the chocolate and caramel rimmed glasses "rim jobs" - freaking sinful. I got the chocolate grilled cheese and he got the creme brulee with the most delicious little orange shortbread cookies. Both desserts were awesome. I was expecting this to border cheesy and was almost nervous to dine here but it surpassed my expectations. This place is A MUST. So fun.

Frank G.

The place was nice. Owner was very nice. Desserts weren't bad, not great either (and def not better than sex). The problem was the service. The waitress was INCREDIBLY snooty. I believe her name was Melissa. She gave us an attitude right off the bat, and she continued throughout the night. I never saw a smile until the "smile" she gave when she gave us the check. She would continually dismiss our questions and cut us off while we were talking...and it's not like she was busy because we were one of the few people in there. I felt like we were students being scolded by an elementary school teacher or something..which is funny because I'm over 30. My favorite part of the night was when she forbid my wife from sharing my dessert with me because she didn't have her ID(I'm completely serious)...and by the way, she's over 30 as well. She came to the table 3 TIMES to say she can't eat my desert. I'm never going back..and I'm telling everyone I know to never go there. It is completely unacceptable to treat customers so poorly, especially when she was unprovoked. It's a shame because everyone else that worked there seemed to be so nice, especially the owner. For a place that charges entree prices for dessert, I was expecting to be treated with at least a tinge of kindness.

This is a must when we going to Key West. So far we've had the cookie nookie and cheesecake and both were awesome! I think I liked the cookie nookie slightly more. The drinks are also something to try. I'd recommend the Shiraz with a dark chocolate rim.

Paty D.

This place had a heck of a lot to live up to with that name, and I must say it didn't disappoint. The concept of the restaurant is pretty unique and in a town like Key West, it's sure to thrive. We went there based on the recommendation of a local and got there right after they opened. There was no wait so if you're in a hurry, arrive when they first open. The place is dimly lit which adds to the whole "sexy" ambiance, with tasteful photographs of women's bodies displayed throughout. The menu has an array of desserts to choose from but we went with 2 suggested ones- Better Than Sex, and the Between by Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake. Both of these have won awards but the clear winner was the Better Than Sex. It is a dark chocolate bread pudding served warm, with a cherry concoction which just melts in your mouth. The red velvet cheesecake was not my favorite. It had amaretto flavoring but it tasted artificial and it's nothing to write home about. We also tried the Peanut Butter Perversion and the Chocolate grilled cheese- yes, you read right. The chocolate grilled cheese was probably one of the desserts that most lived up to the restaurant's name. It is several pieces of dark chocolate and Brie cheese melted to perfection on a buttered Texas toast. One bite and several people in our table had a face of sheer bliss!!! The peanut butter perversion was another favorite. The peanut butter flavor was just right and the texture was silky smooth; it just melted in your mouth. The table cards were also a great conversation starter which we enjoyed using while we were there. All in all our group definitely enjoyed our risquÃ© adventure into Better than Sex- it was definitely a crowd pleaser!!!

I honestly dont know how to sum up my trip to better than sex....ill give it a go though. You cant really review BTS the same way you would a food restaurant. Your entire menu consists of beverages and desserts. Going to one restaurant for your main course, and a completely different place for dessert and drinks seems a bit strange. Then again Key West is known for strange ongoings. I started off the night with a "adult apple" which is apple Ephemere in a caramel rimmed glass. I am a AVID unibroue beer drinker, sO this was a must try. The combination is PERFECT! I honestly could have sat there and drank this all night. The caramel is more Dulce than caramel. I caught myself licking every drop from the glass. our table ordered about 5 different desserts. I will try my best to remember them now Banana bazooka - their take on a banana pudding. layers of crepe with huge banana chunks. alot of cinnamon and caramel taste. was very light and pretty damn tasty. I would order this again...and again. Kinky Key Lime - A very high slice of key lime pie. a very flaky pie crust is used instead of the traditional graham cracker crust. The filling was pleasing. but key lime pie purists will be in for a disappointment. Peanut Butter Perversion - This was the winner of the table. Creamy, smooth, and TONS of peanut butter taste. I mean....it has a chocolate chip cookie dough crust! chocolate and brie grilled cheese - I forget the name but this is what you got. This was the most different and odd combination I think I have tasted. But it was awesome. I remember the chocolate being a dark bitter taste, the brie was so soft and creamy. I loved this. they give you a little cup of strawberry puree filling *to act as the tomato soup* I didnt care too much for that. I will be ordering this for myself the next time I go. Now for the "vibe" of the place. It is INSANELY dark! yes they give you a flashlight to read the menu. They have pictures on the wall, but you can barely see them without the flashlight. I think you could pull off the same ambience with alot more lighting in the correct place. I like BTS, I will be back for sure. Oh, another thing...if you are in a group. bring cash they will only split the bill on a max of two cards.

This is one of my favorite places to go in Key West. Whoever came up with a "dessert restaurant" had a wonderful idea. I had the Jungle Fever, which is a flourless chocolate tort with vanilla ice cream. It's simple, but done very well and delicious. They really play up the "sex" theme (first time visitors are "virgins", etc.). It's cute but the real treat is the main attraction - absolutely incredible desserts. One word of advice - Don't plan a large dinner before you go!

the staff was very unfriendly and it was the worst restaurant experience I've ever had. The waitresses shushed my party.avoid this restaurant at all costs. They are expensive and not worth the money. We're all very disappointed. The blonde waitress was obnoxious. They split my party up to 2 separate tables. Avoid at all costs!

I can't imagine that I would ever give a dessert restaurant four stars, since it's well, just a dessert restaurant. But I have to say the experience was surprisingly fun, the service was outstanding, the desserts were good and it's a wonderful diversion from the norm to go to a place like this. So the four stars are for the entire experience, not entirely based on the desserts themselves. We had a good time there, that's important also. Reservations are pretty much required. If you have to wait, you'll be waiting outside as the place is small. One downside, we were right on time for our reservation, but they didn't have a place to seat us yet and the owner/host was not entirely pleasant. I'll stop short of saying "rude" but he was one tick below that point. Guess when you're packing them in every night you don't always have to be pleasant. it's so dark inside when you go in that it takes a long time to adjust to it. They provide flashlights that you absolutely do need to read the menu. The sexual double entendres on the menu and that will be offered by your server are also quite funny and a break from the norm. But that's much of what makes this place so much fun. Can't recall the name of the waitress but she was simply fantastic, which is not always the norm in Key West either. We actually sampled only the following: The cream infused cabernet with the chocolate rimming on the glass, the red velvet cheesecake, the peanut butter pie, and the chocolate ice cream with jalapeno. The peanut butter pie was out of this world. The red velvet cheesecake was good, but not quite as good as we had hoped. It was the nightly "special" and sounded fantastic but ended up being a bit of a disappointment with so many other things on the menu that seemed worth a try. Still, a truly homemade cheesecake is never something to scoff at and was absolutely made with great care. I was curious about the drink my wife ordered but it was really very delicious and I would suggest trying that drink in particular, even if it is just shared between two people so they can sample it. I thought the jalapeno bite on the end of a bite of the chocolate ice cream was fun, but I would have preferred a touch more of that bite. I'm sure you have to be relatively conservative with something like that however as too much heat would turn many others off. There is a nice selection of custom cocktails, most of which have some kind of special chocoloate or candied rim on the glasses. A small but very decent beer list, wines and I believe some ports are also on the menu. Would definitely suggest this place to anyone. As someone who rarely eats desserts or treats like this it was well worth the calories and a very fun experience. Even if the desserts were good but not great, we'd certainly go back again.

What a find. Happened to drive past it and decided to come back after dinner to give it a shot. It was the highlight of our Key West trip! We've been to Burn's Steakhouse Dessert room upstairs - which is amazing - and these desserts were better! Wife died and went to heaven when they brought her two favorite things...red wine and chocolate TOGETHER in one glass. It's their "rim job" drink - unbelievable! Needless to say we went back 2 nights in a row! Next time you are in Key West (without the kids) you MUST go here!

This was our last treat before flying home the next morning. It truly was a great way to end our time in Key West. The ambience inside is fantastic, the server was very friendly and outgoing, and the desserts were delicious. We loved our experience here. We both had drinks, in which they dip the rim of your glass in something sweet (chocolate and caramel in our case). It made the drinks even more delicious. The desserts were perfect. We were told they are freshly made in house everyday. They tasted as such too. The Truffle dessert and Peanut butter pie were both very good...and very rich! Seriously, this is a must treat... It has the perfect ambience, but sprinkled with the right amount of fun (just read the names on the menu!). And check our your receipt when you are done... how often do you get a receipt listing Man Candy, Caramel Over Me, and Pervert as purchases. :) Try it!

Great Place to go....but Is it really better than sex.....NO WAY! They have Interesting...unique desserts in a darkly lit place. Seating is tight and it is best to make reservations....or hope a spot opens at the bar. I think they are overpriced....and you are paying for the experience..which is way cool. Dark place...hip, trendy...did I say dark...you need a small flash light they provide to read the menu....it's pretty cool I tried the cookie nookie...it was great. Got a chocolate rimmed Young's double chocolate stout and paid $5 extra to have the glass rim dipped in chocolate...what was I thinking???? I would skip the chocolate rim stuff if I had to do over. Would I go back....probably...not sure? But I would recommend everyone go at least once to experience this unique place.

My wife and I, while spending two weeks in Key West have been eyeing this place almost daily. We finally decided that we would break down and eat here one night instead of getting a big dinner out. We arrived about 30 minutes after opening and had a nice seat by the front window. The ambience was great: soft music, lots of candles, nice and dark. The service was also great and extremely attentive. The dessert and drink menu is all presented with tongue in cheek humor, and that was fine by me. I had a peanut butter pie, aptly named Perverted Peanut Butter (or something similar) along with an apple ale in a caramel rimmed glass. My wife had the special of the night, some banana concoction. While we waited for our desserts we played the table game and watched people approach the outside menu and either laugh and walk by, laugh and come in, or run away in horror. Our desserts were great and luckily we came on an empty stomach because the servings were too large to be "post-meal". We will probably stop by again for the food and a nice quiet place to eat. It is the start of spring break season so many of the places along Duval are filled with loud and obnoxious college kids that think spring break is an excuse to be a heathen 24 hours a day.

I almost carameled in my pants when I read the menu. It's an intense experience for sure. The decor leaves something to be desired (like it's what your grandma might design if she were told to think "saucy.") Make a reservation for sure-- it was packed when we went in for a 10:30, people starting to form a line down the block. You'll probably want to get a dessert and a cocktail each. They don't serve liquor, which I think is a big oversight. Think of all the concocktions! You won't finish anything but you'll love it all. Definitely a cute experience for a couple or a couple of girlfriends. Might get a little awk in sensitive company (hi dad). They were out of the red velvet cheesecake dessert, which they said takes 9 hours of prep work, wooing me with the description before finding out that it was done-zo for the night. There is a special each evening called the One Night Stand for a little something different. I'm not sure it's a more than once kind of place, but it's for sure a great evening of indulgence!

A Valentine's date to remember! :) Hubby and I got the chocolate and caramel dipped wine glasses...great fun to share. ;) And the red velvet cheesecake is terrific. We'll be back!

3 1/2 stars. 5 stars for the desserts, and 2 stars for the drinks. Very cute idea, and I'm glad I tried it. That said, what is up with the wine? One option for red, and it was terrible. I mean, undrinkable terrible! Anything that is covered in chocolate, I'm usually all about it. And two of my favorite things together, wine and chocolate? You can't even begin to understand how excited I was to try it. Huge let down. And it wasn't just me. It was everyone at the table. Boo Hiss on the Choco-Cab. We decided to try Jadyn's Gyration, a mocha porter with dark belgian chocolate rimmed glass. Ok, a bit better, but damn it, I wasn't in the mood for beer. Also, for some reason, that glass proceeded to get chocolate all over you when you drank it, vs the wine glass. Made for some really funny pictures though. Ok, onto the real reason we came in. We tried the Better Than Sex (yummy!), The Missionary Crisp (ok, but kind of boring), and surprisingly the group favorite, the Hot and Bothered which was two scoops of Chocolate Pinot Noir Hot Pepper ice cream, topped with white chocolate. Are the desserts better than sex? Bad sex, yes. But, all in all, of course not. But, if this place was a front for say, a sex club, and you could have these desserts AND sex and the same time? Whoa. That would be pretty freaking cool.

I tried both the red velvet cheesecake and the key lime pie. Both were phenomenal. The only warning about this place is that it does possess kind of a romantic ambiance so a causal passerby may be intimidated by that. The desserts however were as good as I've ever had.

So my fiance and his parents came here to celebrate our engagement over the holidays. Here is what we ordered: Creme brÃ»lÃ©e with caramel in a tea cup. Apple tart Raspberries and chocolate cake Chocolate with layers of tortilla and strawberries. I wish i remembered the creative names. They were all so tasty! The place itself was very dark and can either be percieved as romantic or scary. Like, is this place dirty? Why is it so dark. Anywhoo, mentally i opted for romantic over dirty. It's just a bummer they only serve dessert. Definitely nice to say that we came here and checked it out!

This place does live up to its name. Not only is the service great but so was everything we ordered, down to the very last bite. The place is only open at night and does get packed, so we were glad we called ahead and made a reservation. When we got there, we sat down right away and Michelle was our waitress. She was extremely informative and friendly. We ended up ordering two dessert signature drinks and two desserts. It was only my boyfriend and I and it was way MORE than enough. The drinks we ordered were phenomenal, Caramel "Over me" and Michelle's Multiple (named after our waitress). All of the drinks are dipped in either some type of chocolate or caramel. The caramel is specially made not to be sticky so it doesn't become a messy drink. Adds an incredible sweet tint to the wine. While Michelle's Multiple was literally like drinking chocolate. Wine mixed with different sorts and the glass dipped in a dark chocolate to give it a bitter bite with the sweet drink. HIghly recommend both. As for the desserts we ordered...well let's just say, they were better than sex. The Missionary Crisp and the Nookie Cookie Pie. The Missionary Crisp is cooked with tiny pieces of apple with the skin still on, placed into a salty crunchy crust and an almost whipped filling with apple slices. The texture was awesome. The Nookie Cookie Pie though...at least for me, really hit the spot. For anyone who loves cookie cake, imagine that but with the consistency of mousse and chocolate pockets throughout. Both were accompanied with a scoop of vanilla ice cream which was the icing on top. The atmosphere is dark and intimate. The service was great and prompt. We actually had a moth fly into one of our dessert drinks and a new one was brought to us right away. If you are in Key West and only have time for 1 stop, make it to this place. It won't let you down.

Fantastic! I wish we had a place like this in Boca- the experience is like no other, the desserts are, well, better than sex, and the prices aren't outrageous (it's the glasses of wine with chocolate "rim jobs" that push the prices up, but they're worth the experience). Or split a bottle of wine and a dessert to keep the cost down. I recommend the "team cream" dessert and a white-chocolate rimmed prosecco or moscato, as I'm not a fan of dark or milk chocolate. I will definitely be sending all of my friends their way.

Sam G.

I think the tongue bath truffle is the best dessert I've ever had. My ladyperson stopped eating her own dessert (which was good but nothing special) to just eat mine. They craft an intimate atmosphere quite well, it's a beautiful space. The only thing I'd say is that they go a bit overboard on the innuendo, kind of killing the cleverness of the whole thing. Overall a fun experience, we'll be back.

Well, my group and I were on a mission to find a good key lime pie at Key West and this place certainly didn't disappoint. We only ordered a slice of key lime to go so I can't really vouch for the aesthetics of the place but I found it really dark when first entering the "bar." In regards to the key lime pie - I would give it a 5, but what brings it down is the price of the dessert which was $11 (for only 1 slice!). It has a very unique texture and taste as it has a smoother taste than most key lime pies. I think the meringue portion tasted very good.

Went here last minute as a local recommended it and we are so happy we did. I got the team cream and Chris got jungle fever. Both were great. I so t like beer or wine but everyone else seemed to love it. Our waitress Mary wa awesome. The o ly thing I didn't like was a guy was eating with his flashlight on and it kept coming straight to my eyes which is annoying so I moved seats. Other than thay fun, good atmosphere, and good food and service.

This place is fantastic! My boyfriend and I enjoyed drinks and dessert on our recent vacation to Key West, I cannot wait to go back again. The chocolate rimmed cocktail glasses are absolutely decadent.

Very unique place, we really enjoyed it. It is pretty dark inside so you are lead to your table with a flashlight, the menus are backlit. I had the peanut butter perversion and it was absolutely heavenly... the drink menu is extensive, a lot of nice wine choices. You can get your wine glass dipped in white, dark, or milk chocolate, or caramel, so everyone was sitting around the table licking their glass, it was great. Make sure to make a reservation, the place is pretty small, seating is limited.

We finally tried this place one night BEFORE dinner since we've always been meaning to try it and could never fit it in after dinner. I had a delicious wine with a chocolate coated wine glass. YUM! My husband and I split the Better than Sex dessert. It was very good. This is an interesting concept restaurant. We played a card game that we found on another table. It would have been nice if our server told us there were card games and other games to play. We only started playing after seeing another table do so. I can see how this place would be fun for a bachelorette party or date night, but for some reason, I don't think it "works" in a place like Key West. Maybe the location? If it were closer to a theater or fun restaurant, but it's on the corner of Truman and Simonton...It didn't have the "feel" I was looking for. This could also be due to going there BEFORE dinner.

Even better the next time. The rimmed wine is so delicious. I also ended the night with an irish coffee rimmed with white chocolate. Wow, I just died and went to heaven. This place is a must visit if you are in Key West!!

If you are ever in Key West and need some chocolate or fun drinks... this is the place! I really cant express how much I love this restaurant. Anytime I'm in town I make a point of stopping by now. Must try!!

Make a reservation people this place is VIP as in very important. If your in Key West with friends or on a hot first date you should stop in and score points with your significant other or a small group of friends. Fun fact: They don't seat parties of more than 4. They have two sides of this intimate restaurant and they don't sit both sides at the same time. Take my word for it. Amazing ambiance and the sweet treats are to die for. Although you might be so full you won't want to have sex. Make sure to get a rim job :) Read the menu.....gesh dirty mind!

My husband & I visited with another couple on Friday, 3/4/11. This place is so cool, quaint, intimate & romantic. Dark restaurant, lit only by candlelight, background music was a solo acoustic guitar/singer. It was a great way to wind down from a busy, fun day. I had the Kelly's Climax - which was a white chocolate dipped glass of a sparkling red...thought it was fantastic. My friend has the Caramel Over Me - which was a caramel dipped glass of moscato. Even our husbands thought the coffee was tasty. The only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5: My husband had his heart set on the Peanut Butter Perversion - the best Peanut Butter Pie I have ever had! He was swayed to the last Bozooka left, which was banannas/tortillas, sour cream. Not the best choice. We should have not strayed from a known winner! Can't wait to come back next year!

Lekecia U.

This place was indeed not better than sex. My BF and I got a couple of Peanut Butter Perversions to go since I had had a few too many glasses of champagne and needed to go nighty night. The slices were huge but way too much peanut butter and not enough chocolate or crust.
(2)
Rachel S.

Awesome! A totally original idea, especially the "rim jobs"- their signature drinks, and pulled off perfectly with suave servers, an extremely intimate setting-conversation starters on the table, and humor in the air. We're somewhat sticklers for good service, and everyone was just wonderful. One of our favorite things on our trip for sure!

Better Than Sex does not live up to it's name . . . fortunately for me! We came here after passing by it while on vacation in Key West, as it piqued our interest for obvious reasons. My husband had the signature dessert, Better Than Sex, and he was very ambivalent - this from the man who is a dessert fiend and connoisseur! I was equally ambivalent about the "Mission Crisp", which was a take on apple pie. Our waitress talked it up, but I found it boring, bland, and dry. On top of everything, our dessert bill totaled $30+ for TWO DESSERTS only and I didn't feel like we got what we paid for - very disappointing! Perhaps we caught them on an off day? On the flip side, the ambiance was great, the menu is fun and cheeky, they had some interesting table games, and it seems to be fun place for groups and/or a romantic evening . . . if you don't mind dropping $12+ for a mediocre dessert. They had some live music when we were there, which was rather pleasant and not overwhelming. The service was good, and it is a fun place to go - but only once!

Wow, that was good. I just have to clean up a bit. :-) Executive summary: it aint cheap, but it sure is gooooooooood! No parking, so don't even think about driving here. Dark, but they provide flashlights. Perfect for couples. Go hungry! Actually, I made a huge mistake by going to Better Than Sex shortly after dinner. This place is not kidding around when they say you should have dessert for dinner. I was so full of wine and dinner that I could not truly enjoy this amazing place. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a Sunday night so the crowds were muted and we did not need a reservation, but I was very surprised at how crowded they were, considering. I started off with the "choco cab", a glass of cabernet rimmed with luscious chocolate. I would never have thought that those two flavors would complement each other, but they do so very well indeed. I looked like that kid from the old M&M commercials who had chocolate all over his mouth from eating a candy bar, hence the need to clean up. (What were you thinking?) I got the Karezza Key Lime pie which has a macadamia nut crust. Very light, delicate flavored mousse pie in a nice crunchy satisfying crust. I couldn't finish it, but definitely took it in a box back to the room for later enjoyment. No friggin way I let that go to waste. A gentleman with a very good voice serenaded us with musical selections. The waiter was attentive and prompt. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was that the place has just a touch of pretentiousness about it, over and above the fact that it is named Better Than Sex. I understand that they have to make a buck, but I did feel a but rushed to relinquish the seat while I was clearly not finished and there were several other tables available by that time. This is the kind of place that invites a long, languishing time enjoying culinary delights that are not to be rushed. Also, while it is dark, it is not so dark that the menus can not be read. They do provide you miniature flashlights to read the menus anyway. NOTE: There is precisely ZERO PARKING close to Better Than Sex, so walk, take a bicycle, a pedi-cab, or a motor taxi to get there or you will waste your night hunting around in vain for parking. I will most definitely return here when my stomach is not so full.

I love the ambience here. Live jazz music, question card game to play, specialty desserts, and friendly waitress. I got their signature dessert. It is sweet of them to put a Happy Anniversary sign on the cake.

On our way to Blue Heaven, we passed by this place. Well, the name of the place definitely caught our attention. The menu is fun and a lot to choose from. My wife ordered the red velvet cheese cake and I ordered "the seven itch" which consisted of chocolate, pinot noir, and pepper ice-cream and a slice of amaretto cake. The cheesecake was silky smooth and not too sweet. My ice-cream was very yummy, too. Portions are huge and you can definitely order just one to share. Overall, it was fun and a great way to finish the night. The dessert not quite as good as sex, but very close. Cheers

Rude and inflexible. Had reservations and called to inform then hostess (Mandy) that we were going to be 10-15 mins behind due to a tour delay and we were told that would not work for them and we were told to pound sand. I don't care how good the food might have been customer service trumps everything and we'll take our business and hard earned money someplace where they care about the customer.

Not to be missed. This dessert only restaurant is quite fun, yet romantic. My suggestion would be to eat lightly before your reservation because the desserts are amazing. My husband loved his key lime pie and my Better than Sex dessert was...well you decide. Not for young kids and a reservation is a must. Someone was quite clever in opening this desserts only place!

There are no words how amazing and wonderful the place is just none! The place looks like a romantic yet fancy restaurant. The rimmed glasses and desserts are just better than sex. I ordered the chocolate milk and Better Than Sex. The choclate milk came with milk and a choclate rimmed glass. The Better Than Sex was the best! It was a whole choclate cake piece that tasted like heaven and 5 layers of choclate combined and came with a side of whipcream. Best place of the whole century!

"Inviting dessert place" ;-) Just a super cool concept. Its just dessert with some chocolate rimmed wines and beers. Best dessert we had was the Missionary Crisp and the Banana Bazooka. Drinks were pretty much good as far as whatever preference you may have. The service was very good and we were seated promptly with our reservation for 5. Sexy ambiance, kind of like an old style madam's parlor but it is thee place to go in KW with your date to set a romantic mood.

Wow this is a place you must visit of your in key west. It's best to make a reservation if you want to be seated at a specific time. It's always a packed house. The desserts and wine / chocolate parings are phenomenal. Skip dessert at any other place and eat it here.

Never felt so full after Sex!!! So I don't know how true it is that is "Better than Sex" This place is definitely an attraction in Key West... After you visit Duval street please save your evening for this experience!!!! It's is a total adventure for your senses... Visually the place is really enticing, the entrance, decor and the artwork on the walls is just amazing. Very tastefully selected and displayed. The dimmed lights are just the beginning of the flavorful journey. The staff is very pleasant and courteous. We were accommodated in a short notice. Long story short.... THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!!! The desserts are Sinful and Decadent, the chocolate dipped wine glasses should be included a a new of the 1000 Wonders of the World!!!!! Don't skip it, don't think about it.... Just do it!!!! At the end is just "Better than Sex"

I'm just not "fancy" enough --- My wife loved this place. Me? It was a neat concept, glad she had fun, stuff looked cool ... but I struggled to find something that really sounded off the charts good to me. I would've been just fine w/ an ice cream from the corner stand... but I'm a basic meat/potatoes kind of guy. --- Either way, love it or leave it, it's a unique place that is worth a stop to have a great story and say "been there / done that".

Samina H.

I have come here at least five times in the last year, later bringing my friends and my sister and her boyfriend. In short, this restaurant is such a guilty pleasure. The drinks are great, particularly the sparkling beverages with white chocolate rims and lavender honey. The experience makes everything extra fun. The menus are all on iPads but the restaurant is otherwise quite dark and they offer flashlights so you can properly see. The menu descriptions are entertainment in themselves-- I suggest you check it out on their website. :) You cannot go wrong with any of the desserts! Be wary that some are a bit excessive, especially if you are not sharing with a group. For valentine's day, they have a sampler which was the perfect way to try a bit of everything on the menu. My favorites are the Chocolate Grilled Cheese and Tongue Bath Truffle.

We found this restaurant while we were walking around the streets of key west. The name of the restaurant caught our eyes and we were like ...whhhaaaat! We need to try this place... And I'm glad we did!! Very romantic ambience and excellent desserts... I ordered the Team Cream- their take on creme brule.... OMG it was soooooo creamy and delicious I wanted more when I was done my husband ordered the chocolate grilled cheese.... It was so different and yummy... We have never had anything like that before... Wish I could go back to key west soon

Drew Z.

I think them props for their uniqueness. There were some things I wasn't a huge fan of but overall it is probably a place to check out at least once. So it is really dark in there or dimly lit or whatever you want to call it. I know they are setting a mood but it is really dark. I thought the concepts for the drinks and desserts were good and funny. I didn't think the actual dessert was as good as I expected. I got the chocolate peanut butter dessert. It was fine, but I think I thought that since they specialize in desserts that I was going to be blown away. The service was very good and we actually got there quite a bit ahead of our reservation and they were friendly and able to seat us early. I also liked how a number of their drink options had the glasses coated in chocolate. I thought that was a cool idea. It was probably a little more expensive that I thought it should be but there is a whole ambiance, and fancy electronic menus and things so you are paying somewhat for atmosphere. It is a funny and unique place, that I agree with some other reviewers it is worth trying at least once.

Best desserts ever! Best for couples, but we came early with a 12 and 14 year old and had a great time. Friendly staff and excellent service. The "Slip it in" drinks were great. We had the "Fork You Fondue," "Peanut Butter Perversion," Kinky Key Lime Pie," and "Adult Grilled Cheese." Definitely worth a visit if you are in Key West!
(5)
Ellen L.

Not actually better than sex, but I guess that depends on how good your sex is! Definitely make a reservation. You don't want to be one of the sad people who gets turned away at the door. So, really, amazing drinks and deserts. I don't even like alcohol and I really loved the sparkling moscato dipped in white chocolate. We split the red velvet cheesecake and it was incredible. I would love to have tried one of everything on the desert menu but even splitting the cheesecake between 2 people was more than enough. We could have shared it with a 3rd person. Of course we just had a big dinner before that. Anyway, 5 stars all the way. I wish this place were local to me but then again I don't need it on a regular basis!

Kara K.

Fantastic! Came in tonight for the first time with my husband... Staff is friendly and play to the theme of the restaurant, but not in a vulgar way. Desserts are great, a little pricey but thats to be expected at any date spot! We shared three desserts: pb perversion, jungle fever and cookie nookie... Try any of the three you wont be disappointed! The plating takes the entire experience over the top. The dark atmosphere feels sexy and "would you rather" book on the table acts as a fun ice breaker. Great snacks, semi private... Not better than sex but damned close. We loved it!!

Duy N.

One of the most outrageous and romantic places I've been to. Inside looks like an intimate sex house. The lights are dim and candles light your way. Walls are draped with velvet and dark curtains. The staff gives you their best service and the desserts are over the top, indulgent. We had some white wine with carmel dipped glasses and ordered a bunch of different desserts. All made fresh daily. If there is one place in key west you must visit, this is it.

Had an excellent experience. Sat in the speak-easy room, my wife and I ordered some incredible deserts and were very impressed. The server even took notice that my wife was pregnant and asked the chef to personalize the dish, it came with the words "happy babymoon' written on the plate. We thought it was very sweet of her. I highly recommend this place!

Sara M.

I'm a big fan of everything inappropriate. I also have a pretty keen sweet tooth. So Better Than Sex couldn't have been any more up my alley (ha! get it? "up my alley"! ok bad joke.) and I was quite pumped to try this place out while vacationing in Key West with my girlfriends. After reading that reservations are must-have and there are no walk-ins welcome, we made ours the day before and time slots were already filling up fast! We made 6pm reservations which is the earliest time available. As we left our hotel on Duval street, we came to realize that the restaurant is a little bit off the beaten track, however fairly easy to find with the assistance of GPS. It's not a terrible walk from the main street and actually quite scenic and a good opportunity to see some local Key West. The outside is somewhat underwhelming and quite easy to walk right by, but once you open the doors, the inside is a sexy boudoir complete with erotic photos and innuendos aplenty. The tables and booths are separate enough to make things intimate and the place just has a really cool vibe about it. Once I opened the menu, things got a little overwhelming for me. Kind of like when you walk into an H&M and the place is so huge and you see something cute over there, but NO! there is something this way calling your name. Your friends all scramble off in different directions and you are left standing in the middle of a massive store all dazed and dizzied not knowing whether to take the place one section at a time or call it quits and resolve to order shit online. That's kind of what it was like for me browsing through the menu- so many options!!! all of which spoke to a different part of my fattiness. Oo0ooO chocolate! OMG red velvet cheesecake. whaaaa?! cookie dough pie?! Fondue, caramel, bananas, bread pudding!!! AHHHHH! My friends and I decided going in that we would order a bunch of desserts and share them, so that made the selection process much easier, and something I would definitely recommend. But even then, ordering was tough. And made only that much harder with the addition of the drink menu which features shakes and floats that are essentially desserts themselves. All served "rim Job" style, with glasses that are dipped in gooey chocolate. I don't know how we did it, but we narrowed it down to 4 desserts to split amongst the 3 of us: Between my Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake, Cookie Nookie pie, Better than Sex (chocolate bread pudding), and a banana something that I forget the name of. I also ordered the creme soda. The creme soda was the best I've ever had, ever. EVER. All the desserts were killer, even the banana one and I am typically not a huge banana lover. They were large portions, definitely big enough to share, and presented so beautifully. Each dessert was so well done and as good as I was expecting. I doubt there is a bad thing on the menu and I would totally be open to experimenting (ha! get it? "open to experimenting" ...ok, I'm done). So... Better than sex? Well, that's for you to decide.

Atmosphere 5 stars Creativity 5 stars Service 5 stars Food 3 stars Very tasteful, unique desert place. I had the signature dish- Better than Sex and it was a chocolate bread pudding. Not out of this world, but it wad good. My husband had the apple crisp dish and it still had the skin on the apples. But the place is very romantic. Very dimly light (almost completely dark) and the menus are on Ipads. Cool concept. Recommend going to this place.

What we ordered.. N + 1. Our table had 4 people! Drinks: Stoudt beers x2 white wine (chardonnay) with a caramel rim (x2) chocoMilk (oops - my memory escapes me and the site is blocked from where I write this!) Desserts: Chocolate Stout Pie Banana Bazooka Peanut Butter Perversion Jungle Fever Chocolate Grilled Cheese We had a total of 8 people in our party. Please be aware that they seat no more than 4 to a table. We sat at two adjacent tables and while we were able to interact a little, we didn't get to chat like we'd normally do. This is SUPPOSED to be an INTIMATE setting. (we get that!) You've seen plenty of reviews of the consumables.. we are delighted with everything we tried. My favorite was the Chocolate Grilled Cheese. My husband's was the fondue (which our neighboring table had ordered!). Ambiance was excellent, with sultry servers and mood music/lighting. The menu is on an iPad, which runs an App. The app could use some work, as it's not friendly for more than one person to look at at a time, and it's tough to navigate at times. Kudoes to them for finding something that is visible in the dark setting though! Dani, the owner, came out to greet us. She indicated that they are not franchising but will indeed be opening another place in FL somewhere. Yeay! How does a gal who runs a dessert place not weigh 300 lbs? Sheis always running, that's how! Dani doesn't stop moving during her working days! We left in such a sugar coma, I left my credit card behind (it was dark.. and the card is black.. easy mistake!). I didn't notice until later that night back at our place. We ran by the restaurant about 10 minutes before they were to open, and the staff kindly took care of me, asking for ID to ensure that I was the same person who left the card. yeay! We'll return next time we are in town. Something about caramel rimmed glasses filled with white wine.. *sigh*

Catchy name, fantastic desserts, and intimate ambiance combine to make a fun dessert stop before heading home for the evening. We had two desserts - the Fork You Fondue and the Better than Sex bread pudding. Both were excellent. we didn't have any of the drinks, but they looked delicious. Worth a try while you are visiting Key West.

Kitschy fun. Like something you'd find in Vegas. I wouldn't call it romantic, but something to do in key west. I like the dessert and drink combo, but prefer the hard stuff in terms of alcohol and they don't serve that. The dessert was good. It's a small place so I'd make reservations. It's causal; I saw people in shorts and t shirts. I'm thinking the average tab per person is under 25.00. They only serve drinks and desserts and it's pretty calorie laden so it's not like you'd want to order more food or drinks. One and done sort of thing.

The perfect desert with a hint of naughty... what a combination! Must have! So good wanted to go back the next day for more.

You have to check out this place. One of a kind and an amazing experience. Can be romantic if you want or great for a girl's night. The drinks are fantastic - you have to get the one that's champagne with carmel sauce, it is so delicious. Lots of thought and love went into creating this place. You won't forget the experience.

What comes to mind when you hear "Better than Sex"? What do you expect from a place with that name? I knew it had to be chocolate! and that it must be decadent, rich, and almost addictive. The restaurant plays its name right. Very dim lights, dark furniture, provocative photos, and beautiful chandeliers, inviting you to be naughty and indulge in one of their scrumptious desserts. My first time here I ordered the "Team Cream" - Vanilla CrÃ¨me Custard (CrÃ¨me Brulee) with Cracked Burnt Sugar Pieces, & drizzled with warm soft caramel. On the side it has Orange Blossom Kissed Shortbread Wedgies, which paired perfectly with the custard. It is, honestly, the best CrÃ¨me Brulee I've ever tasted. It was smooth, light, heavenly. I paired this with their rim job coffee drink "Cream "In My" Coffee. It is basically an Irish Coffee drink but the cream is handmade there and it's delicious, thick enough to give that comforting creamy texture to the coffee, and not too sweet. Second time here we had a little more fun, ordering more things and having fun with the names. Our servers were very entertaining making everything sound a little more sexy and naughty. I had a "Kelly's Klimax" - Rosa Regale Sparkling Red Wine in a White Chocolate Rimmed Champagne Flute, and their award winning "Better than Sex". This is a chocolate bread pudding that almost tastes like a cross between cake and brownie. Sinful dark chocolate filled with big cherries and a smooth, cloud of white chocolate truffle mousse on the side with the word "SEX" in chocolate on it. The Chocolate Grilled Cheese is a must have. The combination of brie and dark Belgian chocolate is thrilling, and the strawberry champagne soup it comes with takes to a whole new level. Better than Sex is a must when in Key West. Be it with your significant other or in a group you are guaranteed a great time and mouth-watering desserts. Be playful, have fun with the names and desserts, let yourself go and enjoy!

Fantastic, unique place with a fun take on drinks and dessert. The desserts are very sizable so be sure you go with plenty of room to enjoy them

I wouldn't say that eating dessert here is actually better than sex. But it sure does get you in the mood. Everything here - from the bordello-like furnishings, to the dim lighting (it was so dark I got lost coming back from the ladies room, and our waitress had to illuminate our dessert with a flashlight), to the suggestive names and descriptions of the desserts (Fork You Fondue, Tongue Bath Truffle, Cookie Nookie Pie, etc.) -- has a sexual connotation, so don't go here if you're a prude. The hubby and I shared the Twist and Stout (a slab of chocolate cake flavored with Young's Chocolate Stout beer, topped with dark chocolate frosting and chocolate stout glaze, served with Irish Cream ice cream and a drizzle of salted caramel). We also each had a glass of the Choco-Port (tawny port in a chocolate-rimmed glass.) And then we went back to our room to . . . ya know. A fun, and succulent, place to finish up your evening.

Amanda W.

The concept is fun, ambience romantic and staff friendly. I wasn't over the top impressed with the desserts (definitely not better than sex, lol). I had the Twist & Stout, it was too rich for what we were hoping for. My husband ordered the Popcorn Pimp Cheesecake which was totally awesome, salty and sweet combination. (Highly recommend). Overall, it was a fun dessert restaurant.

Everything is different about this place: the name, ambience and most important The Desserts. Awesome service. Can't go wrong with better than sex dessert and Chocolate cheese master chef special with strawberry reduction soup..very innovative and super tasty.

Jennifer B.

Awesome desserts, service and romantic atmosphere. LEEB and I tried the Goo Goo, which is a Carmel dipped glass filled with snappy, sparkling ginger ale. You lick the glass, then sip the ginger ale. Amazing combo of tastes. Then we had the Jungle Fever (LEEB) and the Panut Butter Perversion. LEEB's dessert was a chocolate cake with warm pudding filling and two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. Mine was a light, fluffy peanut butter cheese like cake on a chocolate chip cookie crust and chocolate peanut bark. Because th were decandant and delicious. Service was very good.

Mirka S.

This place is awesome if you in need of serious sugar or just want to experience something very unique and cool. From drink menu we had caramel rimmed glass sparkling wine - delish. Sounds weird but it's really good. For desert we had 'better than sex' chocolate bread pudding, was really good and some chocolate beer cake as well good just too sweet for me.

Bryan M.

First of all, we heard about this place as a "NEED to go" from just about everyone we ran into or asked for recommendations while we were in town. Plan ahead and call for a reservation because it was quickly obvious that everyone knew what we were about to find out - deliciousness awaited! We were told that this place gives you enough that you should order a light meal so we obliged and ate a little something. I started off ordering the Grown-Up Guzzler which is a very tasty and potent hard root beer. For my main course I had the Better than Sex. Very good as well. All four of us in our party ordered different drinks and different meals and it was all GREAT! The staff is very courteous while also having verbal fun with the sexual theme of the place. The lighting is low and romantic for the couple on a night out without the kids. Bottom line? If you're in Key West and you like desserts - COME HERE!

Let me start by saying that I REALLY wanted to like this place.... Like a lot. But, I was left with a sour taste in my mouth and I didn't even get the opportunity to sample their desserts. During a family vacation in the keys, my cousins and I decided to visit BTS because we had heard so many rants and raves about it back home. We called a day ahead to make reservations for our bigger group of 10 and were told they could not accommodate us in 1 table, but could probably split us up as walk-ins because they don't take reservations after 7. Okay... we were fine with that. We showed up at 8 the following evening and there were no tables left. The host had the audacity to tell us that we could wait an hour and be split up, but it would be best if we go somewhere else and have some key lime pie or ice cream because our larger group would, and I quote, "ruin the ambiance" of the restaurant..... Excuse me? Seriously???? The English language offers soooooo many ways to say something and THAT is what he said to 10 potential customers? It was truly horrifying to see the entitled, pretentious "south beach" attitude reach the laid back oasis of the keys. 1 star to Better Than Sex, for having a bigger diva than the drag queens down the street for a host.

Absolutely fabulous for what it is, an intimate dessert restaurant! What could be bad!? Had the champagne cocktail with caramel, it was sticky and delicious. My companion had port rimmed with chocolate, which was also yummy. For dessert, we shared their signature chocolate cake. Velvety and devine. I love this place and it's swanky sexy vibe!

What a fun place to go. Add to your list when you visit Key West! Very romantic! Inside of restaurant - red painted walls with dark wood tables - dimly lite by candles and glass chandeliers. Menu's are iPads .. Fun and sexy descriptions of desserts. Desserts were wonderful !

Christine C.

This was our third time visiting better than sex, as the previous experiences it was great! The ambiance is no doubt dark, and as intended, sensual. Although some may find the innuendos awkward, for us we find it rather humorous. The "shocker" which is a "rimmed" white chocolate glass of red wine is my absolute favorite !! We have had tried most of the desserts and found all of them to be yummy! I just can't back soon enough for the "shocker"!

Betsy P.

Looking for an intimate, yet sexy place to visit with the one you love or you can go with a group. Look no further, Better Than Sex is a Dessert restaurant that delivers in ambiance, cocktails, wine, coffee and service. From the outside, this place has you wonder what it is. At first I thought it was a kinky sex shop. To my surprise, it was all about decadent desserts. I really enjoyed this place, but prior to arriving here, we were at Cafe Sole. Two rich decadent places back to back, is not recommended. Both are so rich in flavor, that it was too much for our digestive system to handle in one evening. I recommend taking some digestive enzymes before coming to either place. Better than Sex is a must visit and not a drive by. If you are ready to have a sexy evening with your loved one, this is the place to end the night.

Devin N.

After experiencing Better Than Sex, one might have to ponder that question...but seriously, nothing is better than sex. lol. This place is just awesome! The whole concept makes me wish that I came up with it. They give you ipads as menus to peruse through the sexy selection of desserts before basically just closing your eyes and pointing to one because it's hard to choose. Most of the drinks come with some kind of chocolate or caramel rim on the glass, so be prepared to do some licking. Warning: It IS expensive, but worth it. The bottom line is this: It's a great experience. So be prepared to have your sugar levels make you tweak...

The concept and execution was fantastic, but I don't know if I would be back We had reservations for two at Better than Sex. We were greeted and promptly seated (so they know how to use reservations -bonus). The restaurant is really dark, so dark they give you a flashlight at the table. This gives it a very intimate feel (their plan). The place was fairly cozy and I was glad for a side table. . and not a table in the middle of the room (that one was for a party of 4 with 2 kids). I personally don't think this is a kid restaurant The menus are basically ipads with a App on them. The app still needs some work. It is cool but it has features such as zooming and re-sizing the text. You really shouldn't need to do that!. Maybe have a button for "eyesight" problems that provides a bigger view. . but I shouldn't need to adjust fonts on an ipad app. Even without the re-sizing the app is still fairly complicated. They could of significantly simplified it . . .and I hope they do. Send me a message "SEX" I'll give you some tips. Well, you didn't go here to play with an app. I got a glass of wine (nice) with a chocolate rimmed glass. My wife got a cup of coffee that was chocolate rimmed. We both got a dessert. Mine was a chocolate bread pudding and my wifes was a red velvet cheesecake. Both desserts were fine. My bread pudding was just okay. . .my wifes red velvet cheesecake was awesome. Here is why the 3-star and not the 4-star . . the price. This was not a cheesecake that exceeded Gale Gand's Tru Restaurant . . . $10 - $15 for the desserts and $10 for the wine (coffee was $7 with the chocolate rim and no booze). I just really don't think its worth that price. . . A fun restaurant. . .a great concept. I loved it Chop off 30% off the bill, and now we are talking.

It was definitely an experience and fun but drinking cheap wine while basically licking your glass. The chocolate was like Hershey syrup on the rim of glass. Maybe we made a bad choice with the red wine. We then ordered a cookie nookie which was ok. To our surprise the Grilled Brie with chocolate was really good. They really have something there!! Very dark and fun with a date. But choose wisely. Oh and the waitress was clueless. Everything's her favorite. Lol!!

Kristin M.

Would recommend a reservation and note that they are closed on Wednesday. The chocolate dipped wines were amazing! Tried 3 different kinds and all were great. The flourless chocolate cake was not bad but lacked flavor and did not compare to others I have had. The raspberry sorbet served with it was very good, however. I would recommend trying a different dessert especially if you are looking for something chocolatey.

Thomas B.

Came here after a terrible meal at conch republic - which turned out to be a good thing because we were not full. This is a really fun, well executed, dessert bar with a deliciously dirty sense of humour. The desserts were fantastic and the drinks very creative. Only surprise to me was that it is beer and wine only. I would think the obviously very talented team here could have a field day with dessert martinis. I look forward to returning!

Farah R.

It was a great environment for a couple - dark and romantic. The desserts are extremely fun to browse thru and select....but the taste....just ok. I would go back for the ambiance and I definitely think it's a great place to check out if it's your first time in the area, I would just lower my expectations a bit. I ordered the red velvet cheesecake - the red velvet tasted amazing, but I could have used a bit more crumb on the bottom. My husband had the cookie noookie which we had no complaints about. Definitely a hit. For drinks, we were happy to see a whole virgin menu - I guess that's easy to do with Chocolate! Lol. My husband had the chocolate milk - which they did up all fancy and I had the hot chocolate - it was cold in January! I loved the hot chocolate :) Oh and the menus are all fancy on iPads now which eliminates the problem some reviewers stated of being able to read the menu in the dark. They still provide a flashlight per table - which came in handy to take pictures :)

Lawrence P.

I am not a fan BUT, I do recognize that they have succeeded in executing their concept, which is not an easy one. Plus, judging from the reviews, I am in the minority. The place is designed to be dark, somewhat romantic but, most importantly, sexy. I guess they have achieved this look. We say in a booth towards the back and started to checkout their menu. Designed all around as a menu with many sexual references, the sexy waitress came by and recommended some things. We had a "Rim Job" which was basically a beer. Not good. We had a "Team Cream" which had vanilla crÃ¨me, burnt sugar and caramel. Better but not great. The "Orange Blossom Kissed Shortbread Wedgies" were good as was the "Chocolate" Grilled Cheese which was a brie cheese danish with dark Belgian chocolate grilled on homestyle buttered bread with cinnamon and sugar. The wifey liked it a lot more than I did. I liked the food much more than their drinks. No real wine list to speak of by the way.

Edmund G.

We had planned on trying this place before we left the keys and I am glad we did. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was awesome and made our experience fun. The desserts and wine were INCREDIBLE!!!!! We will definitely be back on our next visit. AWESOME place, food, and experience.

Carol T.

So glad that we stopped in for my birthday. Decided to skip dinner, and just do desserts. Wise choice. After finishing the Tongue Bath Truffle, I was in chocolate heaven! My husband's Better Than Sex was also to die for. The chocolate rimmed wine glasses were a nice touch, but with all the dark chocolate in the dessert, probably should have gone with the caramel rimmed instead. Just a bit too much chocolate. Can't believe I just said that!

Arnold B.

A great atmospheric (romantic) desert restaurant. The deserts are mouthwatering and the ambiance is superb. They really fused over our anniversary. This is a one of a kind eatery and should not be missed. A reservation in advance is a must. They only have 18 small tables. Don't miss this one you will be talking about it for months.

Brenda P.

New location and a "BETTER" Better than sex! (which is keyword for "must update my review") The old location was small and hidden away unlike this one which is "bigger". In this case, size DOES matter. (or is that in every case? hmmmm) The new location takes BTS to a new level. It is dark, naughty and mysterious. The decor is much more elegant than before. We were seated towards the back in a cozy and darker than dark booth. We had to use the provided small flashlights to see everything on our table. Thankfully, the menus are now back-lit and very cool. The night was filled with sexual innuendos including our overly flirtatious waitress who was doing a great job of keeping the hubbies drooling. She was cute too which helped! She played her part perfectly. They bought it all hook, line and sinker. (NOTE: don't dine here if you are the jealous type, shy, a prude or get easily insulted with sex "talk" and everything related to it.) (SUGGESTION: Can you also hire hot MALE waiters for us girls? Why do the men get all the fun?) This time around we had the following: - Two rim jobs (yup, one with beer and one with moscato) - The Team Cream- Vanilla CrÃ¨me custard, cracked burnt sugar pieces, & warm soft caramel. "Orange Blossom Kissed Shortbread Wedgies... insert one today and you'll be sure to score" their description- not mine... ha! - Chocolate Grilled Cheese- Danish brie cheese & dark Belgian chocolate grilled on homestyle buttered bread with cinnamon and sugar. Served against a shot of strawberry champagne soup - Fork You Fondue- cheesecake fondue, served chilled with vanilla pound cake poppers rolled in cinnamon sugar for dipping Everything was absolutely delicious! My one complaint is still the same as last time: the wine list needs work! While licking the outside of the rim job they provide is fun (cough cough- chocolate people! I am talking about chocolate!), it would be much more fun if I wanted to also swallow what was inside. Wine, I am talking about good wine. At the end of the day, this is one fun place to visit while you are in Key West. The more friends involved, the better. This was my third time and it certainly was the charm!

1st thing - make a reservation! Do not try to stop in & get a table on a whim! I made a reservation for here & I wasn't sure if it was going to be touristy or the real deal but then I asked some locals about the place & they raved about the desserts so I knew we would not be disappointed & we were not!! I had the Red Velvet Cheesecake - delicious but incredibly rich & my husband had the Creme BrÃ»lÃ©e - even more delicious!! We also each had a beverage, my husband had the cider with caramel & I had a red zinfandel with white chocolate & chipotle sugar rim - so creative & unique! The waitress asked if it was a special occasion & we told her it was our honeymoon so the chef wrote a special note on her plates.

Gregg c.

It may not be "better than sex", but it certainly is a great substitute. Katy, our waitress, did a great job explaining what they offered. That is a good thing because it is romantically dark in there, to the point where a small flashlight was left on the table so we could look at the menu. Wife can "cream in my coffee" and "Fork You fondue" while I went with a Jones Rollover Root Beer FLoat and "banana Bazooka." The desserts were fantastic and the drinks equally good. It was an expensive option for dessert, but a worthwhile expense and experience.

Marie M.

Urgh! I had been looking forward to dessert here for weeks, but I now can safely report that if these people think this is better than sex, they're doing it wrong! First off, we arrived about 20 minutes prior to our reservation, only to be told in a very snooty manner by the hostess that we would not be seated until out allotted time. Her attitude was that of a salesperson in Cartier, rather than a welcoming maÃ®tre d. That said, we had no beef with waiting as we knew we were early. About three minutes later, a young couple enters, and the man tells the hostess that they are THREE hours late. Like magic, the hostess declares that she can find them a table in the back speakeasy section, and that where they will be seated is "very cool". They are seated immediately. We are understandably miffed as common courtesy (and common sense) would have dictated that we be offered that table in the first instance. Five minutes later, a young, gay couple enters. They also ask for a table, but are told that nothing is available and the wait is at least 45 minutes to an hour. So, basically, one answer for the straight couple and another for the gay one. Nice. The hostess continues to actually snap and sing throughout this entire time, and makes no attempt at apology whatsoever. After twenty minutes, we were seated, and our server then embarked on an innuendo-laden script that was, frankly, uncomfortable to listen to. We order the red velvet cheesecake and the "jungle fever", a molten chocolate cake with vanilla icecream. We thought that all the rude and weird behavior could still be redeemed by wonderful desserts. We were wrong. Both desserts totally lacked flavor, which seemed odd considering this is a restaurant that focuses solely on dessert! The red velvet cheesecake with cream cheese frosting tasted neither of cheesecake nor cream cheese. It did, however, taste of salt! And the jungle fever tasted like Jello Pudding with very, very bland vanilla. The portions, however, were generous. And, finally, the entire restaurant is so dimly lit that they actually have to give out flashlights to each table. Additionally, the menus are all on iPads. What do these two things have in common, you ask? Germs. One cannot see if the tables have been wiped down as even seeing your hand in front of you is a challenge. And, I can vouch that the iPads were not being sanitized, so there was a real possibility of germs upon germs upon germs. I willl not return to Better than Sex when in Key West again and I just wished I hadn't wasted my time or money. Let this be your warning!

Nicole P.

All I can say is genius! I wish I thought of this idea and I wish they would open one in NYC (it would be perfect here!). Where do I start? The place is very sexy, dark and dimly lit. The only problem is they don't take parties over 4...I totally understand why, to keep it intimate. The menus are also a nice touch, all iPads with pictures of all menu items (I love a good visual!). As for the food/drinks, they back up the name. Everything was DELICIOUS! Even just a simple glass of wine is coated with chocolate to bring it to a new level. The desserts were creative and ridiculously good. I would definitely recommend making a reservation, but if you don't it's worth the wait!

We came to celebrate our anniversary. Intimate, romantic setting. The chocolate rimmed wines are great. We split the chocolate grilled cheese. It was so good, we ordered another one. We rarely eat dessert too. Highly recommend this place!

Brian W.

It's a great, fun concept. The environment is very dark with lots of candles, borderline bordello, but suits the overall theme of the place. The hosts were really friendly; check-in was easy. They use iPads for everything - even the menu! The menu is an iPad with a scrolling marquee of menu options. Tapping on each item enlarges the photo and loads a description of the item - VERY nice touch. Our server was extremely friendly and outgoing; she played with the innuendo and puns you'd expect from this place. Lots of fun. She suggested wine/beer/coffee pairings with our selections. I had the Banana Bazooka, which was a cross between banana creme pie and banana pudding. It came with a spoon full of caramel. I also had the Wells Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale. The pilsner glass came rimmed with caramel and nuts. It was almost too much. I'm still checking the feeling in my fingers and toes since I think I am now a diabetic. All in all, a wonderful place, great, creative desserts and a friendly atmosphere and serving staff. I'd go again. Oh - MAKE A RESERVATION. Drop ins usually have a long wait.

There really are no words that can accurately describe this fantastic dessert restaurant!! My wife and have celebrated two anniversaries here and we were blown away and amazed both times. If you are in Key West and have a sweet tooth it should be illegal to leave without having dessert here! The desserts are the most creative I have ever seen. I have experienced flavor combinations I never thought were possible before. And the drinks! Caramel or chocolate rimmed glasses with a variety of wines and beers are a dessert all their own! The interior is very intimate and romantic and the staff was phenomenal both times we were here. This restaurant is worth a same day round trip flight to Key West just to get dessert!

Barb B.

Amazing desserts & wine! While in Key West for vacation I made it a point to stop in at this place. Make reservations! It's small and they do get busy. We had the better than sex, chocolate grilled cheese, sex appeal & carly's button. All were amazing. Will definitely return when we are in the area again. Also a great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary! Service was excellent, Carolyn made several suggestions and knew the menu well. Thank you so very much!

Absolutely love this place! A must every time my wife and I come to Key West for a getaway. Every time I branch out to a different wine or desserti cone back to my favorite... Choco Cab and Cookie Nookie Pie. The pairing of cabernet and the warm semi sweet chocolate "rim job" is amazing. Don't miss this combo.

Kristin L.

Every bit as delicious as the name implies. We left dessert at Better Than Sex for the last night in Key West, which happened to be a Saturday during high season. I read what everyone else said about needing a reservation so hoped on OpenTable at 6pm and was able to book a table for two at 8:30pm. Success! We got there and were immediately seated. We each ordered a cocktail (chocolate-rimmed, yummmm) and shared the red velvet cheesecake (to. die. for.) and played cards (there are games at each table) while we sipped. It's a great date spot, but would also be fun in a big group so you can order a bunch of desserts and pass them around, family-style. A must-try spot in Key West, for sure!

Bob S.

Found this restaurant through other Yelp reviews and since both my wife and I have a sweet tooth we had to try it. Made reservations and we're excited to try it. When we arrived we found a rather plain looking building on the outside. When we entered we found ourselves in a dark, romantic restaurant broken up into small rooms. They only seat two or four people - no large groups. We checked out the menu and my wife ordered the peanut butter per vision which she enjoyed immensely. I had the Better than Sex dessert which - although it was not better than sex) was extremely delicious. I can see why this was an award winner. We both had the spiced coffee with the homemade Irish creme in chocolate and caramel rimmed glasses - out of this world! We would definitely recommend Better than Sex to anyone visiting the area and I know we will be back when we visit Key West again!

It has been years knowing about Better Than Sex yet it was worth the wait. In every way did BTS more than live up to the dessert restaurant's name: It was an astounding experience. From the reception at the door (hint: make reservations) to our server Kelly ("in case you forget my name, just remember Kelly's Climax") to the actual stars of the show--the desserts!--BTS brilliantly managed to pull off a sensational experience that was, in fact, great. In my opinion, here are the best desserts and the best service to be found in all Key West. If you can settle for second-best, go elsewhere. If you are not looking for a delightful time, turn away. But if you like my wife and I are pleased to endorse and support excellence, by all means make certain your Key West experience includes late-night dessert restaurant Better Than Sex. You will be glad you did. A+

This will be the best dessert experience you'll have in Key West or possibly anywhere. From the romantic lighting to the rimmed drinks to the decadent dessert options, there wasn't anything we didn't thoroughly enjoy about the experience. Be sure to eat a light dinner, if anything, before going and I'd recommend reservations as the restaurant isn't huge.

This is one of place that you have to visit when you come to key west, girls especially. It is literally a girl's dessert dream came true: dainty lights with "lady is a tramp" decor, music that make you wanna gossip with your bestirs or cuddle with you boyfriend, oh and don't forget the unbelievably amazing dessert and wine. The menu is presented with iPad providing detailed descriptions for every option. I ordered the red velvet cake with the sexy float( soda with ice cream) and my friend ordered jungle fever( chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream) and white wine. I love how they serve every drink with either a white or dark chocolate rim around it, making it even more appealing. You will never order wrong here because the waitress will make sure you have everything you need. I really do hope that we will have one soon in atl. (Sadly, I heard it is family owned and they don't intend to do so)

I went here with a group of four on Friday evening and we were able to get a table right away. My boyfriend and I got the Jungle Fever, which was absolutely amazing! The couple we were with got the Cookie Nookie which was also very good. The service and ambiance were totally on point. Overall, Better Than Sex exceeded my expectations and I will be returning over and over again!

My husband and I ordered jungle fever, tongue bath truffle both desserts were OK, definitely not up to the hype being that this place is suppose to focus on desserts only. The drinks I must say were good. I strongly suggest Mandy's drink. It's strawberry beer and the glass has a rim job of milk and white chocolate.

This place is truly phenomenal. It is a unique, creative vision executed magnificently. We plan to go back every single night for our entire stay in Key West. Decor: Elegant, very dimly lit, red, black, gold colors, Billie Holiday/old movie tunes, chandeliers, private, cozy, intimate seating. (Limited to parties of 4 per table.) Service: Sweet, stylish, sophisticated. We received ipad menus instead of book menus and mini-flashlights just in case, from pretty, polished waitresses. The descriptions of food and drink were playful, engaging, made me smile and giggle. However, I am not very conservative and enjoy overt sexual innuendo very much. You should too, if you plan to visit this place. Food and Drink: Taste sensation innovation. So far we've tried the following: Chocolate Grilled Cheese: Menu description: "Danish brie cheese & dark Belgian chocolate grilled on homestyle buttered bread kissed with cinnamon sugar. Served snuggled up against a shot of strawberry champagne soup." YUM! And "Better Than Sex" which is a bread pudding: Menu description: "I'm Not your All-American Girlfriend... This Exotic & Atypical bread pudding magically bakes into mouth feels of a Cake & a Brownie, yet is actually a bread pudding. Deep. Dark. Chocolate! Penetrates a tease of big bold bing cherries swimming in a mÃ©nage a trios of chocolates & baked dark dense pumpernickel bread & butter. Served with white chocolate mousse" YUM! Those among my party enjoyed various champagne and wine drinks rimmed with all sorts of creative decadence: white chocolate and chipotle pepper dust (The Shocker), Champagne with white chocolate and honey drizzled glasses, and so on. Very creative and one is left wondering..."why doesn't everyone do this all the time?" The bottom line to this world class dessert restaurant is WHEN WILL ONE BE OPENING IN MY CITY?? (New Orleans or San Francisco would be great.) There is no reason this should not be the next big thing to sweep the country. This is a billion dollar baby, folks. One suggestion: bring hot, lightly scented moist towels to the table after the party finishes for inevitably sticky fingers and mouths. Sex involves a little bit of clean up afterwards, does it not? Make it part of the experience. And management should always be aware that it is likely a strong female who is dragging her friends to this place...rallying and cajoling everyone...NOT the male of the party. Woman + Chocolate = Passion and Drive Give the lady figurehead some credit and kudos for a job well done in steering the group because that's likely how it happened.

great place to end a romantic date. The dÃ©cor and overall ambiance oozes sexiness, and the wait staff are very friendly. Menus are on an ipad, and if you are like me, picture oriented, all their selections are picture based, with side desciptions on them. prices are reasonable for their desserts, and very decadent desserts. they have wine pairings as well. this is the second time we've been back.

This unique place is just terrific! The desserts are unusual, delicious, not run of the mill, made with love! Try anything on the menu. The place itself has a cool, dark funky look and vibe to it. Our waiter Taylor could not have been nicer. If you are in Key West, Better Than Sex is a must!!

First things first - this place is NOT better than sex. Drinks and dessert were not bad but calling it better than sex is stretching it a bit. Decent combination of typical and ingenious beverages and desserts but not worth the hype. They get booked pretty fast so there could be a long wait if you're not into reservations. They should be credited with creative branding but a step up in the offerings will add substance to style. Desserts were way too sweet for us and drinks were 3.5/5 at best. I will not enter into a long term relationship with this place but not bad for a one night stand :)

Very neat experience. Have to have a reservation to eat here. They bring you to your table with a flashlight and the menu is on an iPad. Had a chocolate dipped wine glass with red wine....oh so yummy. The peanut butter perversion pie was outstanding! We will go back.

The food was great and the staff went above and beyond for our honeymoon. I cannot say enough good things about the food and great staff! Try it!

If you have never been to Better Than Sex then it's worth a visit. However, if you're expecting the intimacy of the original location in Bahama Village on Petronia Street (presently occupied by Bliss) then you may be dissapointed. Chandeliers, wall sconces and brightly lit iPads with integrated cumbersome menus have replaced the unique atmosphere of candlelights and flashlights only at the old location. Honestly, there's nothing intimate about sitting around a table trying to share an iPad. Service was fast while the food and drinks are still fantastic. If you have never been here before then you won't miss the old place, which was perfect.

Great, friendly and attentive service. Loved the dessert called jungle fever! The chocolate pudding and cake was light and delicious! The ice cream portion was generous, too! We also got beer and prosecco - decent prices and selection. Would definitely return here for their desserts!

Dessert. Heaven. Just literally. Pick any dessert and drink you want and call it a night. I prefer to skip dinner entirely when coming here. My favorite is the peanut butter pie. Limited seating and it gets packed, so make reservations if you can.
(5)
Christine T.

I love that they carry the theme of sex though and through. They have dark lighting and seating for couples in dark little corners so you feel secluded and sexy. The menus are awesome and unique, using back lights to light up. They have specialty desserts and drinks with sexual names that are to die for. I had the cookie nookie pie, which was basically a cookie pie with an ice cream scoop. It had the gooey chocolate chip cookie consistency that melts in your mouth. My absolute favorite thing is that the waiter will make sexual references and puns.....desserts with run around $12 and are shareable.

We had reservations at 8:00 p.m. and were seated as soon as we arrived. We enjoyed the Peanut Butter Perversion (peanut butter silk pie with a chocolate chip crust) and the Better than Sex (dark chocolate bread pudding). Both were outstanding. Our server was Mandy and she was excellent. Every member of the team was extremely professional and helpful. They also played some great music. The ambiance here is wonderful. This is a very unique place and was a very memorable experience for us. When we left there were people lined up to get in, so be sure and make a reservation.

This place is amazing. Definitely recommend for a romantic after a light meal stop. Desserts in here are delicious and the atmosphere is made for lovers. I highly recommend it assuming you and your significant other are in love!

1st off all i can say is this place was so delicious!!! my husband and i had the lucky shots with lube, the klimax (wine with white chocolate drizzle), the banana hammock (with caramel drizzle) and last but not least the peanut butter perversion!!! it was fabulous! the waitress was so nice enough to acknowledge our marriage ( we had got married 2 nights before in the keys) and had them put congratulations on the plate it looked so cute!

Dessert was great....... but better than sex............nope! Very busy place but the service was still great. It was very evident that the staff loved their jobs! So friendly! Would have enjoyed it more had there not been a few big mouth people in the speakeasy area......it would have been more romantic. Kudos for having a gluten free option!!!

Kiki T.

Ok, I LOVE a theme so I was thrilled when I walked in and saw that they had fully committed to the sensual, intimate theme with low lighting, love songs and sensual photography. But this place is not simply a themed restaurant with no follow through- they totally deliver on the desserts and drinks. These desserts are extraordinary! The menu is limited to about a dozen options but they pack each one of them (that we tried) with loads of delicious! Between drinks and desserts this place is not a bargain but it is well worth the spurge (in dollars and calories) for the experience that you have here. my husband and I liked it so much that we visited twice during our recent trip to Key West. If Better than Sex wants to open a Georgia location I would gladly be their first customer!

My husband was craving key lime pie after dinner at another restaurant (El Siboney something - Cuban place - not good at all inspite of great yelp reviews).. We ended up yelping for good key lime pie and found this cute place.. It is truly an experience!!

Alissa W.

This place is absolutely ridiculous the owner is an award wining pastry chef. I had to try the red velvet cheesecake this was on that won an award. It looked rich so we do Edited to share it. I recommend a reservation we could not get in Friday when we stopped by. They told us call Saturday and leave our name 1-2 hours before we want to call and they send a text. They also offer wine dipped in chocolate. Imwas so stuffed. This place is really romantic and the desserts are to die for! If you are in Key West visiting put this place n your must do list!

Sherri F.

The decor & atmosphere were romantic. I enjoyed the photo menus on iPads. Make reservations!! I got the peanut butter perversion. I was expecting something sweet & decadent. I was a little disappointed because it tasted salty. If I went again I would choose something else. 2 desserts, a soda, & a bottle of water cost us $36!!! I was glad to experience it once. I'm not sure I'd go back.

"Im so satisfied walking is hard" "It literally tastes like cheesecake in liquid form" "I tried thinking of something else besides thus moment and got mad at myself" "If I take more bites it will be gone..and that just makes me too sad" "I just need to pause and enjoy that" "We love Shelby" "There's no better desert in this Earth" "Dont take the plate I just need to stare at it a bit longer" "You just finished that first and you're the slowest eater I know" These are just things we said all night. No other conversation was had except about how incredible these deserts and this experience are. We had the slip inside, the shocker and some other delicious drink we couldn't remember the name of. The shocker has a chocolate drizzle on the outside of a wine glass with a sparkling red inside that allowed you to taste melted chocolate at the beginning of your sip, wine in the middle, and a last swallow of the dark or white chocolate slipping down your mouth as a final taste. Eyes will close and lips will turn up. I had the twist and stout whose first bit just tasted like any old chocolate cake with a frosted top, then I took a bite of stout ice cream in combination and learned it was teasing me because in truth it had a creamy beer stout chocolate mousse inside and the beer ice cream with salted caramel made a new level I had never tasted before and could not believe I'd lived so long without. Best desert experience you will ever have.

If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy sex, you MUST come here. Multiple times. :) This is a sexy little dessert restaurant where you can drink wine, spirits, and other beverages that are rimmed with chocolate or caramel. I felt a little naughty tonguing my caramel-rimmed glass, but it was so tasty. You can also order one of the many decadent desserts from the menu (which lights up, btw yelp.com/biz_photos/bettâ€¦ ) that imply sexual innuendos in both name and form ( yelp.com/biz_photos/bettâ€¦ ). This is a must do in Key West.

Kimberly K.

Setting is very dark and intimate since you need a flashlight to get seated. Loved their idea of an ipad visual menu displaying desserts and drinks which also facilitated in the decision making. Both desserts ordered were delicious while the service was quick and respectful our space. Hands down the best dessert place in Key West ;)!!!

Mary Ann M.

I was really looking forward to having a dessert experience. The staff was very polite and our dessert was wonderful. My experience was ruined by a group of loud obvious drunk women at the table next to us. One women was passing out while her friends took pics of her. The women kept saying she was going to throw up and laughing .This just ruined the " experience" . We left early because of them . The group should of never been allowed in so drunk! I give 4 stars bc the food was delicious but I was left with a bad taste bc I was worried I was going to thrown up on the whole time.

Ali N.

Loved the concept but don't see what the "big deal" with this place is. Desserts were ok. I had the grilled cheese and chocolate and was not impressed. My husband had the banana dessert and it was much better than mine. Loved the Slip Inside drink. A bit pricey for the quality of the desserts but I guess you're paying for the whole experience. Ok to try it once but definitely not on my list to repeat. It's a "been there done that" experience.

Aly W.

The desserts are definitely not better than sex. Not even better than mediocre sex. But the stars are for the cocktails, presentation, and ambiance. My Jarka Yum Yum dry red wine blend with a Belgium chocolate rim was perfect for me as I do not like fruity wines. My brother wasn't a fan of his Cream in my Coffee. His fiancÃ© loved the her champagne cocktail but I found it too sweet. The Grilled Cheese was definitely the best dessert and the only one I would order again. The Better Than Sex cake, cookie nookie, and red velvet cheesecake were all good but nothing to rave about. Ambiance is awesome. Good date spot. Split a dessert together or just stick to the chocolate on your rims.

ATTENTION TOURISTS!!! . We looked over the menu, the menu is very well written, and made, Nice binding, and cool LED lights behind the translucent material the menu items are written on. It lights up and makes it possible to see and read in the darkness. Very nice touch! Even their website rocks....Whats that sound when the oldschool record needles would scratch off the player?...plug that sound bite in right here! The place is Very dark! If you think 7 Fish is dark, this place is even darker. But that is completely encouraged, specially when expecting to make the parallel of amazing desert with great sexual experience, rather...Better Than Sex. You can go along many themes when you're about to have dessert, as long as it delivers....So lets get at it! So we saw three desserts we liked/ red velvet cake, Cookie Nookie, and KeyLime cheesecake. We read the description, discussed with the waitress and went for the Cookie Nookie. It was described with a nice hard crust with so many nice words with play on sexuality....Here it is... _______________ Quote from the menu: "You'll be sure to get some nookie when you spoon up this sweetie. Imagine the inside of a warm chocolate chip cookie being wrapped in a fluffy blanket of flakey pie crust. Inside you'll find bits of chocolate, pecans and ooey gooey goodness. Served with a vanilla bean ball." ________________ Reality: This was an VERY sweet/sugary cookie/cake and all else was soft. The crust was no where to taste and find, as it had become part of the cookie as one. Maybe it was sitting in a refrigerator? Flavorwise, it offered nothing else. I also ordered a coffee with semi sweet chocolate on rim. She said to try it with Kalua, I did, but, that didn't enhance the flavor when you're looking for a good coffee (This is not a bar atmosphere for ordering multiple drinks). I could see a White or Black Russian tasting good, but this didn't work. So I enjoyed the rest of my coffee without, and it was fine. This is all Better Than Sex does ...deserts! Each at a price around $12+...(See menu images). So you expect some good stuff....you got about 6 or so choices to make it easy on the chefs in the back so they don't mess things up.... They should all be very good to amazing, right?.... Wooowank, wooank, woonk.. Nope! Cooki(comes with a scoops of ice cream, and the plate looks fine with some drizzle decor. (see picture I posted) $30 for a cookie/scoop of vanilla and drizzle caramel, and coffee....Hmmm. I felt ripped off. They are the same quality you get from Denny's( Carrow's might be better!) They just taste sweet, not of any quality ingredient to justify the price. Even the ice cream was just ok. It tastes like any random gallon you would buy from the market. But don't expect a premium ice cream like haagen daz or 31 flavors from the parlor. We had better quality ice cream at Bahia Honda Dive rental shop. Trader Joe's has better ice cream. (They might consider either as a supplier). ( FYI: You all readers do know that the one in the 31Flavors icecream PARLOR is a very different formula than the one they sell at the markets? Well now you know. The one at the parlors is of higher quality). You learned it here on YELP! Sorry but they were on par with a cafe diner. I am not saying this to discourage people from having a desert here. I say it as the ingredients used is equal to what you would get at anyplace. Not that there is anything wrong with that! But at the asking price? ...about $30 for 1 desert and 1 drink. You might fool someone once, ...well This IS the tourist MECCA, so they have plenty opportunity for the one time visitors. Side Note: I think the concept is great. They just lack quality ingredients and likely proper preparation. The theme is great and all, but if it doesn't deliver, then whats the point? If you don't mind spending $30 just to see the place I say go for it. But you're looking for anything beyond any diner or cafe, I couldn't recommend it. If your just trying to satisfy your sweet tooth.... many places have VERY GOOD Keylime pies that will serve your taste buds much better. Great home made keylimepie at the HogFish Bar&Grill. Square Grouper had one almost as good. Do yoruself a favor... for lunch or dinner, Square Grouper was very good. Hogfish sliders were great as were other things! See my reviews!

Split a Peanut Butter Perversion with my wife. I do not deny that it was a tasty dessert but was not as impressed as I thought I may be. Very dark environment inside - but not too dark for our whole party to realize that a group of girls were seated behind us that all looked like they were about 12 yo. We overheard them say that one of their mothers made the reservation for them. Not sure if I would return back next time I am in KW, but there's no denying the risque & unique theme that is served along with the dessert.

This was my third visit to B T S, but the first for my date. I recommend reservations, because this is a small restaurant, and the demand is huge. The restaurant is done in a tasteful bordello theme, if you can imagine, and the largest table can only accommodate five, so this place is for couples and small groups only. The dessert offerings are diverse and tantalizing, and every dessert I have tried here has been absolutely luscious! Last night, I had a chocolate cake and ice cream offering, but it was much more than just that. It contained a multitude of textures and chocolate flavors, and was out of this world. Although I pride myself as being an attentive dinner partner, my dessert was so amazing that I cannot remember what Cara ordered. What I do recall is how delighted she was with it. We also ordered beverages, which came in chocolate dipped vessels, which was a real treat for both the eye and the palette. As in the past, last night's experience was fun, delicious, and a wonderful respite from the ordinary. You will be doing yourself a disservice if your trip to Key West does not include a visit to this wonderful place!

Came for dessert with some friends. yes, five dudes did come here for dessert. Ambiance is really really cool. I ordered the Peanut Butter Perversion and it was fantastic. Ordered the Goo Goo also and thought it was okay. Got to taste some of my friends' desserts. The chocolate grilled cheese was okay, the cookie nookie was pretty good, and the red velvet cheesecake was very good. Our server was great. Prices are kind of expensive for dessert, but I think they are worth it. Would definitely recommend and will come back.

Arcadian B.

WOOOOOOO this place was absolutely amazingggggg....one of the best dessert places hands down and probably one of the most unique desserts I have...its a small dinky place located at the corner of a resident street and once you walk it, the atmosphere was dark and romantic...a perfect place to take your date too...we ordered sparkling red wine with white chocolate rim and this combination was simply to die for....we also got the chocolate grilled cheese and if it weren't for eating dinner b4 I would have ordered another to go!!!!! just thinking about that warm chocolaty grilled cheese is making me droolllllllllllll like homer simpson
(5)
Bill S.

This is a MUST VISIT place if you are in Key West. Drinks and desert only....with a sexy twist. Everything is fantastic here, the ambiance, the drinks, the deserts, the service, the innuendos, the mood. There is no point in describing the deserts as they all are incredible - simply trow a dart at the menu and you will be satisfied. Leave the kids at home or in the hotel and have some fun.

Menu on an iPad?! Awesome!! Loved the whole atmosphere of this place. Only wish they had more tables and were able to accommodate large groups.

Mona W.

Sultry, suggestive and a menu almost inappropriate for young children, Better Than Sex brought dessert-only dining to a whole new level. It wasn't just about the sweet treats. Certainly, the award winning chocolate cake named after the restaurant was unbelievably addictive. It was actually the dining room that I really fall in love with. A non alcohol centric after dinner place with posh decor and intimate ambiance. It was almost too good to be true. It was style and it has substance. The desserts were wonderful enough to make foodie happy. Don't feel like eating? Get a bottle of wine and drink it from a glass dipped in tasty chocolate sauce.

Diana Y.

With an interesting name like that, I anticipated romantic setting, candlelit table, sweet, rich and sensuous desserts. Sure enough, I got them all! We made the reservation online as this hidden gem opens nightly at 6PM. Right when we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted by the friendly waiteress who took us to our private booth. The entire setting was dimly lit, and the menu playfully presented desserts with sexual innuendos. We ordered the Goo goo (Fevertree Ginger ale served in a caramel rimmed flute), Rollover Rootbeer Float (Rootbeer over ice cream with a chocolate & caramel drizzle), Banana Bazooka and award winning "Between My Red Velvet Sheets" Cheesecake. All were exceptionally tasty, not too sweet, with the right amount of icing and crunch. This place is definately one of the most captivating touristy spots in Key West, Florida. I'm so glad we found it and got to enjoy the experience!

Save some room, eat a lighter dinner and come here for a wonderful romantic sexy dessert. We were here in November and they had some really decadent pumpkin desserts. We tried one of the Pumpkin specials and the "Between the Sheets Red Velvet Cheesecake" Both were large, so if you find your still full from dinner you can share one dessert. I loved the Pumpkin, it was sweet and airy and light, the red velvet is a panty dropper. It was decadent, rich, but not too over the top. The chocolate rimmed wine is fun and just gives you more of a feeling of lushness. I was unsure about the darkness because I don't have great night vision but it isn't so dark that I was stumbling around or tripping all over myself. and the flashlights are a nice touch for people who can't read well in the dark. This is a must for every couple visiting Key West. It really sets the tone for a nice romantic luscious get-away. and for the locals, this is a great place to take your girl, for just no reason at all. You can't go wrong with chocolate and wine.

Lisa A.

This place is a one of a kind experience!!! Don't be deterred if you can't get a reservation on line, call and see what they can do!!!! Open 6-midnight, reservations are definitely recommended! We weren't sure on timing so after dinner we called and the guy put us on the wait list (which was about and hour on a sat night-the next reservation was over 2 hours later) The ambiance here is sexy adorned with red and candles and the staff was super friendly! The staff guide you to your table with flashlights (the room is quite dark:) the menus are back lit for easier reading! I had the tongue bath truffle with raspberry sorbet, my husband had the nookie cookie which comes with house made vanilla bean ice cream! I also had the 'shocker' which is a cab sav in a glass rimmed with chili chocolate....delish! They knew we has just gotten married and our desserts had happy honeymoon messages especially for us! This place is one if a kind, if you're in Key West with your sweetie bring them here and indulged! Desserts are all house made and deliciously sexy right down to their creative names!

I can't write enough about everything we experienced at Better Than Sex, I'd be writing all night. First off, the atmosphere. Dimly lit and tables (at least the table we were at) are spaced perfectly for a close couple setting. The staff. Outstanding. She was able to handle multiple tables and made it feel like we were her only table. The drinks and food. Mouth watering is truly and understatement. We had the Fork-Me Fondue split between two of us and loved it. The warmth of the donut holes to the coolness of the vanilla cheesecake chocolate was PERFECT. The drinks are a perfect connection of dessert and drinks. The rims dribbled with chocolate or caramel was a new experience I wish I would of thought up a long time ago. This little gem in Key West is worth every penny. A must go to for couples in Key West!

Hello...where have you been!!! And I'm not even a sweet tooth kinda gal. The rimmed wines are so rich and smooth! The desserts are so moist, rich and perfect in every possible way. Each dessert offers the opportunity of trying out components separately or combining them for such interesting, innovative flavor combinations. A gem and a must if visiting key west!!!

Twist and Stout- Chocolate beer in chocolate rimmed glass? yes please Team cream- sounds messy, but tastes great! no really cookie nookie? hell yeah Grilled brie cheese with chocolate? who thinks of this stuff? so good We went here the second to last night of our recent trip to key west, and liked it so much we went back the following night. The menu, lighting, atmosphere, food and service are all top notch. Everything here has a sexual innuendo, but its well done, not too over the top or lewd. Definitely looking froward to going back!

Jenna B.

Loved this place - we had a great experience!! Our waitress, Kelley, was fantastic! Very attentive, explained everything to us and recommended her favorite dishes/drinks. Menus were really neat; how they were back lit. We had the chocolate grilled cheese and the better than sex - they both were amazing!!! I also had the banana hammock beer (banana bread beer with a caramel dipped rim) so good!! I'd recommend getting a reservation; at least a day or 2 in advance. Yes, everything is on the pricey side but definitely worth the splurge for sure! Love the idea of this place and love that it's small and secluded from everyone else in the restaurant; it seemed we were in our own little "cubby" area which was cool! We will definitely be back again!!

The portions were huge and the staff was willing to switch out a dessert that our group had ordered and wasn't a big fan of. They were also very accommodating after we missed our reservation for a group of 7. The food was good, not amazing, but a fun place to stop at.

Chuck B.

Overheard someone on the boat talking about this place. It was excellent. The desserts are really different and much appreciated to this foodie. The desserts are big, so you may want to split with someone you are with. Make sure to get a reservation. I got one at 10pm, and it was packed. When we left, there were people lined up around the block. Also, it is really dark. They provide you a flashlight to see. I thought the use of iPads as menus was ingenious. Can't wait to go back!

LOVE! Very dark romantic atmosphere. They give you each an iPad that includes their menu. Our waitress had her own "Tia's tickler" on the menu. She was very professional, knowledgable, and fun. We ordered a strawberry ale that came in a glass which had the rim dipped in chocolate! It was DELICIOUS. We also ordered the Better than Sex chocolate cake/ bread pudding...to die for. It is a little expensive, but hey, you're in Key West- you can splurge.

James O.

Started off with the Carmel dipped mascota wine and the champagne special, both were amazingly good. This immediately put us in a the right mood and we felt right at home. I ordered the Belgian chocolate Brie grilled cheese, excellent but could be legendary if there is/was more Brie in it. The chocolate was delicious but more brie was needed in between the two french toast wedges. It came with a tiny cup of strawberry soup, OMG that was so good could have a pot full for dinner. My wife's dish was disappointing and they were very gracious to take it off the bill. Nothing wrong with it, just not our taste. My daughter's vanilla with Carmel and sugar chips was excellent also and she had a big smile on her face the whole time. Let me just say that there is no doubt that only the best of everything is used in every dish and made with skillful passion. Then another round of drinks topped off the experience. We saw a few dishes being served to other tables which looked amazing. The chocolate truffle and the better than sex cake are two dishes we will order when we come back to KW in March. I fully expect to edit this up to 5 stars then. It's just a matter of finding the right dish for your taste. Sort of like sex with a new partner sometimes it takes more then one try to have perfection. All the ingredients and moving parts are there for perfection it's just a matter of choosing what's right for us. This should go on your must do list when you come down to KW. Book in advance though or you won't get in.

Leslie P.

One of the best desserts I've ever had! Ever! A MUST if you go to Key West. Sexy, romantic, low light atmosphere, you even get a flash light to look over the menu. The staff is fantastic and knowledgeable of their menu, which helps narrow down your options because did I mention you get a flash light to look over the menu? I had the Better than Sex and le boyfriend opted for the double chocolate rimmed glass of strawberry beer, but he had some of my dessert because it was SO good. So good we had to go back a second time in 4 days. *Make sure you call ahead and make reservations.*

Just awesome. Pricey for dessert for sure but the ambience and the vibe this place emits is spectacular. Small and cozy but with a definite intimate feel. I need one of these places closer to me! Why are you still reading this and not walking there??

Disappointing.. went here with two other couples and everyone's dessert was bland and boring. Atmosphere was nice, service was great but the food was surprisingly not that good.

Really cool atmosphere and friendly, quirky staff. We had the Jungle Fever and the Peanut Butter Perversion. Both were delicious and I would recommend trying their caramel sauce!!!

Wendy H.

Good dessert but "better than sex" is a stretch. Since all they do is dessert, I would expect it to be exceptional. I still recommend trying it though!

William C.

very nice staff and great desserts and dessert drinks. The wife and I partuke in some dessert for dinner and highly recommend you do the same!

Sad they took of team cream from the menu. Seems that the food isn't as good as it used to be, but still great for new comers.

Great food and romantic atmosphere. If you have any kind of a sweet tooth you have to make your way here. Our waitress, Kelly, was super knowledgable about the menu and helped us choose good beers with a caramel rimmed glass and good wine with a chocolate rimmed glass. Our desserts melted in our mouth, but we're very filling so go hungry!

Coming back to this dessert restaurant is the reason I am heading back to Key West so soon. Granted I am down here often, but it's "Better Than Sex" that I keep raving about to friends, family, strangers, even my dog knows I love the desserts here For those that know me, know I am a big peanut butter and chocolate fan. So of course on my first and second visit I went straight to the "Peanut Butter Perversion". Here's the menu description: "Nothing immoral about this peanut butter silk pie floating on top of a chocolate chip cookie dough crust. Don't Deprive yourself of the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Deviantly corrupt, innocently perfect." Now tell that doesn't sound mouth watering good. I've also had the "Cookie Nookie" and here's the menu description: "You'll be sure to "Get Some" Nookie when you spoon up this sweetie. Imagine the inside of a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven being wrapped up in a fluffy blanket of flakey pie crust. Wrapped up inside you'll find bits of chocolate pieces, pecans and ooey gooey goodness. Served with a vanilla bean ball nestled along side." Inside it's very romantic with dim lighting, candles are burning on tables and shelves and they even give you a flashlight to see the menu. Perfect to come with your significant other, a double date or a girls night out. I don't recommend coming with prudes or grandparents.

I was skeptical going in because I'm not such a sweets person. Neither is my husband. Having everything rimmed was amazing, and that was before we even got to dessert. Tia was perfect with her subtle sexiness and amazing suggestions. What a spot for a romantic honeymoon. I would suggest Better Than Sex to anybody.

Really good drinks and desserts. A must try if you are in key west area. Make sure you make reservation ahead of time.

There are no words for how amazing this place is but I'll try! The choices are endless and the next one better than the previous. The drinks we had were to die for! Champagne with a caramel creme brÃ»lÃ©e rim? I mean how could that not be good! The chocolate grilled cheese might be the best thing ever!! Try it! The atmosphere was devilish and a great way to end the evening!!

This was a unique experience and am glad I went but doubt I will ever go back. We each had one desert and one drink and with tip we spent $50. FOR DESERT! That's just crazy. It was a fun place; very intimate and VERY dark. The menu's are back lit so you can read them in the dark. The menus were also quite fun with the names and descriptions of the deserts all having sexual themes. They had quiet live acoustic music playing which was nice. Our deserts really were very very yummy and presentation was lovely. It was also a nice quiet way to get away from the hustle bustle of Key West. So even though I will not likely return because I don't feel it was worth the cost, it was a very good experience that I'm glad I had..... ONCE.

Come here for the ambience. Ideal for an intimate setting so if you are a couple I would suggest coming here. It's dark inside but they do have a flash light available. Menu is available via iPad. I don't really have a sweet tooth, but the twist and stout was very good. I think one dessert is good enough to feed to ppl.

Jan N.

Absolutely worth visiting! Prices and service were great. The desserts are fabulous - we had the infamous Chocolate Grilled Cheese (brie cheese fused with chocolate on toast with a rasperry sauce) and the Cookie Nookie Pie. Looooved it! The decor inside is great - dark, sultry, red velvet... it really sets a nice mood. They even give you tiny flashlights so you can see the menu better! I saw some people in there with kids, but I would NOT recommend that. It's not a kid friendly environment. Perfect for an intimate night out, whether with friends or a loved one. This place oozes sexiness - all they needed was a trumpet player playing something blue-sy! I told the waitress I'd love for them to open up a location in Miami and she told me if I knew of anyone with deep pockets, to send them her way! So, any takers?

Claire W.

AMAZING dessert! I ordered the Better Than Sex cake and it was so heavenly. Definitely worth the calories. Everything on the menu sounded amazing and looked delightful when it came out. I also had the spiced coffee with a semi sweet chocolate rim-to die for! I only wish they opened this restaurant in Los Angeles!

Great place to visit whether its a girls night out or and end to a romantic date. Make sure you make a reservation. Walk-ins are not always able to get seats.

Isabel S.

Amazing !!! I don't ever visit Key West without stopping at this wonderful place. It is dark, the seating always has a private feel, and it only serves delicious desserts and drinks. They give you small flashlights so that you can see the menu. They also have tabletopic cards on the tables which list really intriguing questions you can ask each other while you wait for the dessert (large enough to share) and drinks to arrive. It's the IDEAL place to take your partner, especially on those romantic weekend getaways to the Keys! They take reservations which is great. The only negative thing I can say is that the route we take to get there (walking from the Truman hotel) seems a little shady. But, nothing's ever happened, and for me, one of the best restaurants I've ever been to period.

This is incredible. If you only go to one restaurant in Key West, make sure it is this one! Banana bread beer rimmed with Carmel is amazing.

Saw this spot while on vacation and had to check it out with a name like that. Amazing drinks and desserts, try the better than sex bread pudding, absolutely moist and melts in your mouth

Rachel R.

Sexy, romantic dessert place perfect for couples. Signature better than sex really lives up to its name. Chocomilk is a cup of milk with chocolate drizzles. Okay food but quite interesting. Ice cream is okay but not a must. Knocking off one star because the service was kind rude. we went there on Xmas eve, so probably that's why our waitress tried to herd us out two times by asking if we want boxes for takeout, when everything on our table was cleared not finished. Would go back again if I visit key west next time. Still a must go placeï¼

The desserts were to die for! Definitely make reservations in advance. Ambiance is romantic with candle light table. Good place for couples. Having trouble coming up with topic? No problem, pick up a card on the table.

This place is awesome. When I first moved here the name caught my eye. But once I tried it the desserts took it over. The ambiance is so moving. The staff is awesome very friendly and the new menus are very high tech! The decor is awesome much is pier 1 an awesome place to shop! The perfect outing!! It is very dark inside which I love but could be difficult for some!! So worth the visit !!

Dee S.

First bite: "oh shit". This pretty much sums up our experience at better than sex. This place hit 5 stars on all fronts. The food, the drinks, the service, the atmosphere all exceeded expectations. We had cookie nookie which was a chocolate chip cookie wrapped in pie crust with vanilla ice cream, drizzled with Carmel and hot fudge. Again, "oh shit". We also had drinks, sex appeal and sexy soda float which again were amazing. I definitely recommend getting a reservation through their website because walk ins were waiting 90 minutes on Saturday night. This is really a restaurant for couples with a dark and romantic atmosphere, I don't think you could find a better place for date night.

Virginia C.

Woohoo! As good as it gets! I can't recommend enough. What an unique place and concept. Love it! Waiting time was an hour :/ but we didn't have reservations and it was the weekend. Good thing is a place for just desserts and drinks so i already had dinner at another place. Someone local told us that this place was a most and it really was! very happy i went there and it was one of my favorite part of my vacation

Is it really...you know...what the name says...I will not comment on that. All I can say is this is a dessert place that doesn't "let you down". It doesn't seat a lot and make sure you make a reservation because it can get busy and you have to wait. From what I hear if you don't have a reservation, your "screwed". It's relatively dark inside. They give you a mini flashlight to read the menu. The decor is quite humorous in a sexual way. Half naked people on the walls. We were still full from dinner at El Meson but we made a valiant effort to have dessert. Here is what I recommend you try: 1. The Chocolate rimmed wine glass with the wine of your choice. I can see how people go nuts for both but I was too full to appreciate the experience. 2. We had The Missionary Crisp (apples with buttery cake with vanilla ice cream and caramel). Sh*t it was good! Almost better than.... 3. You will not go wrong with the Banana Bazooka. It's a crepe-like tortilla torte with chunks of banana, caramel and some cinnamon while being paired with white chocolate and sugar icing in Heath bar crunch...close to being better than... 4. The waitress was so damn nice! Even the host accomodated us. Somehow the hotel didn't call in our reservation but they seated us pretty quickly. I guess they realized I was "kind of a big deal". 5. Prices were a bit on the high side BUT you do get what you are paying for: Pure Deliciousness. **Definitely go here for the experience you virgins! You will not be disappointed...like your first time having... ***Remember to make reservations. 6-8pm is a good time to go. It's always busy so buckle up. ENJOY!

it was a romantic spot and loved the decor. my husband had the bread pudding which was good and i had the banana bonanza which was ok. wish i would have tried the peanut butter pie. next time...

This place is amazing. The wine glasses dipped in chocolate are completely genius and delicious. It is a bit pricy but it is worth it. Also all of the waitresses are super friendly and willing to answer any questions. Oh and the menus are iPads.... its awesome. If you are in Key West you must go!!
(5)
Saleh M.

I came here because of the crazy key lime pie called kinky. I must say I am an old fashioned pie kind of guy. It was way too heavy and just not what I expected plus 11 dollars a slice was a bit much. I am not reviewing the place because I just picked up the desert from here. The staff were courteous and the place is too dark and romantic for me.
(3)
Rob H.

This is just a fun place to go. It is unique and unusual in a place that is unique and and unusual! The wine pairings with chocolate rimmed glasses were superb. Our service (on the two evenings we went) was excellent - shout out to Kelly who moved from Manhattan! A great idea was the game cards left on the table to spark discussion. The desserts were very good. Not the better than sex in my humble opinion. But very good!
(5)
Keelan P.

Yum yum yum. one of my new favorite places ever. The entire restaurant is decked out liked a bordello, and is very dark. The menu is all double entendres, with drink names like "Carly's button" , "Lavender lips", and "Rim Jobs". Lol. I swear this is the first time I've ever said this... You HAVE to order a Chocolate Rim Job. Incredible.
(5)
Kathan P.

The only way I can imagine someone NOT enjoying this restaurant is: 1) If you don't like finely crafted deserts (what made you like this you MONSTER?) 2) you were severely traumatized when assorted baked goods mugged you in a darkened alleyway I ordered their "Between My Red Velvet Sheets" Cheesecake and when I finished I was seeing in colors that I never knew existed.

Although I wouldn't exactly say the food here was better than sex, it's definitely a place worth checking out for an intimate and unique Key West Experience! It's a good escape for the crazy bar scene on Duval Street. Be ready to pay though! Between the 4 of us on our double date, the bill added up to almost $100 for 3 desserts and 4 glasses of wine. I wasn't exactly expecting that, but sure... I guess we're on vacation. Better Than Sex (BTS) is a tiny little restaurant tucked away on Petronia Street. You can find it by the Floridian colored pink arch way at the front of the street coming from Duval. I woud recommend making RESERVATIONS beforehand!! The place can get pretty busy. Inside, it's dark and intimate. Most of the lighting is candle light and whatever is coming through the windows. If you need it, they'll give you a mini flashlight to help you read the menu. We were first timers to BTS, thus the waitress dubbed us "Better Than Sex Virgins" and she was going to pop our BTS cherries. From the staff to the menu, it's all extremely playful with tons of sexual innuendo throughout the entire place. So one of the specifically unique thing about this restaurant is that it only serves desserts and drinks! We started off with a couple drinks, which all of them are dipped in chocolate or caramel! It complemented the wines perfectly by giving you a sweet aftertaste with the bitter drink. We ordered Kelly's Klimax, The Sex Appeal, Adult Apple, and Carly's Button. Carly's Button was my favorite!! It tasted like a chocolate dipped strawberry!! For desserts, we tried the Cookie Nookie Pie, Banana Bazooka, and the Chocolate & Brie Grilled Cheese. The Cookie Nookie was okay. Too many nuts in it for my liking. My friend absolutely loved the Grilled Cheese. It's like she was possessed by the sandwich. Just kept staring off into space, happily chewing. I loved the Banana Bazooka! Could eat that stuff forever! The layered dessert has so many flavors and textures in a single bite! SO GOOD! TRAVEL TIP: Let your front desk or attraction concierge at the hotel know you're going to Better Than Sex. I'm not sure if this is every hotel, but our concierge had "10% off the entire bill" coupons for BTS!! Ended up saving quite a bit with the desserts being a bit pricy.

This time we arrived around 6:45 pm. They were able to seat us right away! We ordered the Adult Guzzler. This had root beer and homemade Irish cream ice cream . Absolutely amazing!!! Also had the apple beer with caramel and Mandy's Man Candy. For dessert we had Banana Bazooka and Peanut butter Perversion. All was very excellent. It was my boyfriends birthday, so I didn't mind spending $75 with tip for 4 drinks and 2 desserts. :)

Romantic, cheeky, and so fun! We came here for a late-night anniversary "dessert dinner. We were congratulated by the hostess upon arrival, by our waitress and other waitstaff throughout the evening, and with cute little notes on our desserts. The atmosphere is dark with red and black decor and lit by candlelight. It's a classy and romantic atmosphere, not risquÃ©. The menu, however, is, which is part of the fun. Each dish is written in excruciatingly kinky detail and feels over-the-top. But it's intentional and all part of the experience. Our waitress and meal runners were friendly and helpful and playful without being too much. The food and drink: awesome! We shared a bottle of cab rimmed with chocolate. Their wines are priced well, but I wouldn't go here to order a fancy bottle of wine. You're probably going to rim it with a thick coating of chocolate anyways. The red velvet cheesecake was flavorful and rich without being dry or cloying. The Brie cheese and chocolate grilled cheese could have stood some more Brie, but it was so delicious and such a great combination of flavors and textures with the strawberry sauce. We finished off the night with champagne rimmed with white chcolate and pink sugar sprinkles for me. Very sweet, flirty, and girly. My husband had the banana bread beer in a pint glass rimmed with caramel. It was so surprisingly good that we're going to try and make it at home. Soon. We actually enjoyed the question cards on the table. There are goofy ones if you're with a group, just getting to know each other, or are a more playful couple. Then there are more romantic and cheeky questions for those of you looking for romance. Next time we're in Key West, we'll definitely make time for another romantic evening at Better Than Sex.

To answer the obvious question; no, eating here is not really better than sex. The ambience here makes it maybe the best date spot anywhere. Also assisting is the selection of trivia cards that would make a great ice-breaker if you actually come here on a date. Anyway, as far at the comparison with sex, the cookie nookie pie does come a close second. It's a kind of combination of pie, chocolate chip cookie and gooey melting dark chocolate. Why can't my doctor recommend I eat these daily? I don't hesitate to say it's the best dessert dish I've ever had in a restaurant. Absolutely amazing. I also tried the Caramel Over Me, which I didn't really want to say out loud in Key West. AS I recall, it was a muscato with caramel all over the rim. Not bad, but not all that spectacular either. The wife tried Kelly's Klimax, which was equally not bad, but not that spectacular. We brought our 6-yr-old daughter along. This isn't something I recommend in general, but it was okay since we were kind of earlyish and it was a weeknight. She had a root beer float which was phenomenal. Five big stars, the same score as actual sex.

Alright...you know what they say, sex is like pizza, even a bad slice is good. I was not up for a one night stand so I actually came here TWICE during my short stay in Key West. I lucked out both times as I did not have reservations and they do fill up VERY quickly. The environment is very intimate. As you walk in you are handed a flashlight which is meant to aid you in seeing the menu and some sort of fun game that is on your table. The desserts are very good and unique as well. Keep in mind this is NOT intended for large groups. In fact you must call ahead for a party of six and they prefer groups of 4 or less. This ensures that the atmosphere is preserved. Also, parking can be a bit of a pain...oh wait your are in Key West so get use to it. If you keep going down the alley way there seems to be better parking options (AND DON'T even THINK about parking in that dirt lot across the street...even if you are on one of those zippy little scooters. It is permit parking and you will be ticketed and towed). It is worth the effort and I would absolutely go back.

Stumbled upon this while riding around town on our bikes. We have never been to a place that only serves desserts (unless you count beer as a dessert...then many bars would fall into this category...but I digress). After having a 20 min. wait, we were seated in a booth. The place is dimly lit, so a flash light is provided, but the iPad with the menu on it provides plenty of light. The staff were very attentive and said cute things to us, like "love-birds" and "deliciousness." Everything from the decor, ambiance, menu descriptions, and interactions with the staff create a provocative atmosphere that is a bunch of fun. You basically want to start making out right there at the table...luckily it is dark;) Dessert was great. The dessert drinks are really good. Tables are made to sit 4 or less. Reservations are taken over the phone.

Rob W.

I love the name, I love the concept, I love the execution. This is a very romantic place to take your special someone. Drinks and Deserts in a wonderful dark and cozy room. You feel special when you come in here. The deserts are to die for, whether they live up to the billing is for you to decide.

I walked by this place and thought it was some kinky sex shop, until being the crazy yelper I am found it got a 4.5 review. Of course I had to try it and I'm so glad I did. Walking in you know to expect some craziness. That being said, I was surprised to find that it was tasteful and classy, with very dim lighting so it felt intimate and fun. I LOVED the "question" cards on the table- it provided some very interesting tipsy entertainment for my boyfriend and me, as did the hysterical menu. Although the chocolate rimmed wine glasses were a bit sweet, it was fun to nurse them so the chocolate wasn't overpowering. I ordered the special "The Shocker" which was a chipotle sauce and white chocolate rimmed glass of smoky red wine, which was the perfect combination for the sweeter chocolate. We also ordered the Jungle Fever chocolate cake dessert and it was amazing even though I was insanely full. This place was really inventive and cool and made me wish all restaurants had those fun question cards to keep conversations interesting. Well done!

WOW! What can you say about a place that totally blows your socks off? We had walked by this place everyday of our visit, but just never felt like dessert at the times we were there. Until the last night of our stay, and boy, am I glad we indulged! Indulgence is their middle name. From the second we stepped into the dimly lit foyer, we knew this was going to be something special. The delightful hostess asked if we had reservations (which we did not), and it never even occurred to me to make them. No problem. The hostess said that, although there were no reservations remaining for the rest of the evening, she would take our cell phone number and text us when a table opened. I was thoroughly impressed with that, but before we could even step back out the door, she stopped us and said she was able to shuffle a couple things around and seat us right away. Excellent customer service that was above and beyond! Keep in mind a couple of things about this unique experience -- it is DESSERTS only and they only do tables of 2 or 4 -- no large groups. It is very dark, intimate and sexy so it is a great place to relax and savor. The next thing that impressed me is that they brought you to your table and gave you your very own flashlight! This may sound silly, but I have been in numerous dimly lit restaurants and they look at you like you are crazy if you ask for a flashlight just to read the menu. Forgive me and my middle-aged eyes! Anyway, you don't need a flashlight to read the menu because they are all electronic on i-Pads! How cool is that? With a swipe of your finger, you can view desserts, coffees, and drinks. A touch on each photo shows you a full description of each item. It is a wonderful use of current technology. The server was wonderful and friendly. She went over everything with us and answered any questions very skillfully. We haven't even gotten to the food yet! I had regular coffee with a shot of housemade kahlua. It is a wonderfully spiced coffee with great flavor and the kahlua shot made it extra special. The hubby had a virgin ginger ale that came with a caramel-rimmed glass. The caramel sauce was TDF! (to die for!) For my dessert, I had the Better Than Sex - a dense chocolate and cherry bread pudding with white chocolate mousse. The hubby had the Banana Bazooka which was layers of fresh banana slices, pastry creme and mousse. It also came with the caramel sauce that was on the rim of his glass. To stay with their sex theme -- the caramel was orgasmic! In spite of all this gushing, there were a couple of minor quibbles. The bread in my bread pudding was pumpernickel. I thought it was an interesting choice in terms of flavor, but it made the dessert dense and chewy. Not exactly what you expect when you are accustomed to bread pudding made with challah, french bread, etc. Not bad -- just different for my palate. The Banana Bazooka was very chilled -- like it had just been pulled out of the refrigerator, and I think it would have benefited from standing at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. I know that is a challenge with the cream filling, but some things taste better when they have a chance to temper. Also, the crepes were slightly tough and chewy. Overall, I cannot think of a better way to end a romantic dinner, or a perfect vacation. A wonderfully unique concept with excellent execution and service!

This may be my favorite restaurant of all time! But then again, I AM a chocolate addict. This place only serves desserts, as well as dessert drinks. Their speciality is giving your beer or wine glass a "rim job" which is a chocolate covered rim. I had the strawberry beer (Fruili) with the rim job and it was great. All the desserts and drinks all have sexually themed names which is very amusing to read. In fact, all the drinks are named after people who work there (ex: Mandy's Man Candy...Mandy was the hostess). As for the best desserts, well the thing that was pure heaven for me was the chocolate grilled cheese. Amazing! We also ordered the red velvet cheesecake and the better than sex signature dessert, which were both delicious. I love the atmosphere here. The only lighting in the place comes from candles. It's so dimly lit, in fact, that the waitresses give you little flashlights for the menus! Overall, it's a very romantic and sensual place perfect for dates and/or chocolateholics.

We loved this place the first time we went. It was phenomenal, an experience to remember. When we returned to Key West, this was one of the things we were looking most forward to. We were disappointed. Better Than Sex recently (I believe the waitress said August or October 2012, don't remember which) moved to a larger location set between two moped rental/repair shops. Now they have more room for people to enjoy some tasty desserts and that's great; I'm glad their business is doing so well. Much to our disappointment, however, sometimes you just shouldn't mess with perfection, regardless of the bottom line. They moved and expanded and in the process, they lost the essence of what made them great. Better Than Sex is no longer an experience with intangible qualities making it unforgettable. Now it is a dessert restaurant, just like the sign says. It is too efficient, impersonal, friendly but lacking sexuality. The food is still wonderful, but ultimately the larger location loses the intimacy. There was something sexy about that cramped old location. Now, with room to breathe, higher ceilings which echo the voices around you so loudly that it becomes reminiscent of a sports bar. Yeah, it does. The waitress was very nice, and very efficient. She's perfect for Chili's, and not right for this restaurant. We were in and out within 45 minutes. Where is the relaxation? Where is the sensuality? Gone without a trace. But there is good news, Better Than Sex. I hope you read this because I want my old restaurant back, and I think I can help. You have two rooms in your new location. That's great, we can work with that. Here it is: make them two absolutely separate rooms, with a swinging door and all. In the front, place the large groups of friends who are giggling like children at the innuendo-filled menu. The back room becomes the focus of couples looking for the quiet, slow, intimate experience that put you on the map. The Righteous Brothers said it best, Bring back that lovin' feeling 'Cause it's gone, gone, gone, and I can't go on, No. And we won't be back until they get back to their roots.

Stopped here after a night of drinks and great food. Heard you needed reservations but they were more than accommodating to get us in. Quiet romantic and dark, all the desserts were easily displayed on iPad format and was a great experience. The Twist and Stout was my fav and my wife had the staple, Better than Sex. Amazing experience. Must go here when in town.

Marcia Y.

If you are a fan of red velvet anything, then you have to get "Between My Red Velvet Sheets" Cheesecake. Hands down, THE BEST CHEESECAKE I'VE EVER HAD! It was light and airy with great red velvet taste and was not cakey at all. Their drinks will have you licking (literally) your glass as all of the drinks are rimmed with some type of delicious chocolate. Amazing drinks and desserts in an intimate, adult environment...what more could you ask for?!

Lyndsay N.

Went here to get a piece of Key lime pie. When we got there we were asked if we had reservations which we didn't, but the place was empty. The host looked annoyed, but we were seated right away. The restaurant is dark and the menu is back lit with an led light. We got the key lime pie and red wine with a chocolate rim. Both were so good! Whoever thought of the chocolate rim is a genius! Our friends got the apple beer with a caramel rim. Signature drink there and a must try.

Tammy K.

it's all about the anticipated adventure you are going to have, being able to say you had dessert here. Regardless of how good, or not the dessert was, the time we had is irreplaceable. what fun. definitely a must do on your list. It's hard for us to rate food because we own a restaurant, so our palette is educated to what things are and how they are prepared. We appreciate certain preparation methods know when shortcuts are taken. Either way, it doesn't matter, we enjoyed it immensely.

Julio M.

I highly recommend you visit this place when in key west. It's dark and romantic. The waitresses describe all of the deserts using sexual innuendos. You can have sex on the table while waiting for your food--just kidding--unfortunately. The desserts and drinks are unique and memorable. I had the banana bread beer served in a chilled glass with a molten caramel rim. Wow! I'm still craving it days later. The port with the Carmel rim was also very good. The chocolate French toast dipped in a strawberry champaign sauce was a standout. A happy ending is guaranteed. We left filled and satisfied.

Drinks were amazing and deserts were phenomenal. Don't leave Key West without trying this place out! Menus on iPads were a great addition, as it was nice to see what the drinks and deserts looked like. The Brie and Chocolate grilled cheese sounded strange, but was one of the most delicious deserts I've ever tried. SO GOOD! The cookie nookie was great, but in comparison to the grilled cheese was just good. Totally worth the stop. We had made reservations and glad we did. We saw some people were waiting for almost an hour for a table without reservations.

Lou D.

I love anyplace that's decorated in the color Scarlet (my fave) and features lots of sex stuff (my fave). I wasn't in the mood to drink, nor do I dig desserts, so that part was lost on me. Bf ordered a coffee with a Khalua shot (the Money Shot if you will) and loved it. There are great items to peruse...books and great photos. We poured over a great book on sex for couples. Hilarious. And informative. The bartender Jen was friendly and warm...just a great and inviting spot overall. A must visit.

Andrea C.

This was my absolute favorite restaurant from our trip to Key West! If you are ever going to Key West, put this on your must-see list. Our B&B hosts suggested we go here after dinner one night, and we had a little trouble finding it. It's a ways away from the main strip, which gave it major appeal in my book. It was soooo romantic. The tables are small and intimate and they even give you a flashlight so you can see the menu. Every drink and dessert has a sexy twist, and I was afraid it would be all kitsch and no real flavor. I was so wrong. We each got a drink and a dessert and everything was amazing. We were completely stuffed when we left. I wish I could get this place to move to Chicago!

Food: You have to have a sweet tooth to really enjoy this place. Our waitress informed us that the desserts are all made in-house by the owner. That is impressive! I sampled the Team Cream (crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e), Chocolate Grilled Cheese, and Raspberry Sorbet. They were each incredible on their own - even the sorbet. I don't think I've ever had sorbet I cared to try again until now. Service: The host was incredibly friendly. Our waitress was attentive but never obtrusive. Yes, the sexual innuendos are over-played a bit here. I could see that being annoying to some diners. That would be my only criticism and it's a light criticism at that. Drinks: We also ordered Lindsay's Lavender Lip-Stick and Choco Milk. Both were excellent and inventive. Ambiance: This place is ultra dark. So dark they give you your own flashlight to use and their menus light up themselves so you can read them. It does serve as a romantic feel though so I am not complaining. Other Notes: Make a reservation. We went on a Monday night and there was a 35-minute wait. If you don't make a reservation, they will text you when a table is ready so you can explore the area a little bit. Overall, I will definitely be back to visit this place. I also recommend it to others.

This place is FANTASTIC!!! Great ambience and a hilarious menu. Mandy's Man Candy is very tasty. I must say the strawberry Fruli Belgium white beer is without a doubt one of the best flavored beers available. It has won some awards and it deserves it so. This beer goes very well with the dark chocolate rimmed glass. Chocolate and strawberries who doesn't like that combination in bed? I had the Better than Sex with a serving of zinfandel port wine, as recommended by the waitress. What a wonderful dessert combination! Thank you waitress :) A spoon of the smooth creamy deep dark chocolate pumpernickel bread pudding brushed with the creamy chocolate truffle mousse into the orifice followed with a small simple sweet kiss of zinfandel port was dare I say, "Better than sex ;)" Knowing me I would have found some way to put the two together and have a threesome. This place deserves every award it won. If you are in Key West this place is a must!

Great place to take your special someone with a sweet tooth. Bring your girlfriend or go with another couple. Don't bring your mother like the table next to us did unless she knows your a whore. (Dear, what is a rim job? Well, mom ......) This is a desert and specialty drink only style restaurant where each item has a name related to a sex act. I had a vodka with espresso that had white chocolate around the rim. Also had a peanut butter cake. Both were fantastic. The menu isn't big and neither is the place. Very, very dark. Also very busy, so get reservations and get some very easy brownie points.

If you don't like this place, something is VERY wrong with you. Seriously. Perhaps you're Leona Helmsley reincarnated, or someone like that. First off, this place should be scouted for a movie location. Very dark and sexy the moment you walk in. I kept thinking Antonio Banderas was over in a corner, undressing me with his eyes. Yes, me, a middle aged---oh never mind about me. My husband and I ordered "Team Cream." I can't even describe it to you. I'm a type 2 diabetic. I had to pop a Metformin right away because of this dish. My husband had a wonderful wine. THE GLASS WAS COATED IN FREAKIN' CHOCOLATE. I took a lick, probably resembling Honey Boo-Boo's mother on a bender. Didn't care. This place is (dare I use a Kardashian term?) amazing. The service was stellar. They even put a note and a candle on our dish to celebrate my birthday that was the day before. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE.

This was one of the best and romantic times had by my husband and me as newlyweds. The dishes were unique and decadent; the drinks were phenomenal. We tried the grilled cheese & chocolate (Brie cheese with melted chocolate on warm bread and a side of strawberry soup for dipping) and the Better Than Sex cake. Both were fantastic accompanied with a stout beer dipped in chocolate. It was a wonderful time and astonishing atmosphere.

Rachel M.

Sorry yelp world. This place was not me. Don't get me wrong. I love Chocolate and I love drinks, and desserts sweets, etc. But it just didn't grab my attention. What we ordered was pretty blah, and my drink was just ok. They just turned off all the lights and put the candles on. That's definitely kind of scary. You can barely see in front of you, and instead of being nice and intimate, I just heard echos of peoples conversations. Ugh. was not my cup of tea, or glass of chocolate wine, or sweet place to be. My fave chocolate bar is still in Savannah GA! I wish I can find one by my house though, but then maybe not bc I would be there all the time.

My only complaint is that this place is so popular!!!! My husband and I were on our honeymoon and came around 8pm and the hostess said that they were all booked up until 11pm. So we waited to see if we can order at the bar and was waiting for space outside. Then one of the waiters actually told us if we wanted, we could order and eat on the chair on the street. Score. Then he said by law he has to get us actually inside the restaurant so he brought out a table and squeezed us right on the porch area. What an awesome waiter. We got a kama sutra book that we were reading while the food was coming out. I think since we didn't have a reservation we didn't get the whole dining experience but the couple next to us was playing some sort of sex game with cards they got and their waiter would come by and make sexual references regarding their food. Funny. Anyway, we got really simple dishes since we both don't really drink. However, I heard their drinks with the chocolate rim are fantastic but we didn't get it but if you go, you should. Husband ordered the "better than sex" which was a master chef winner in 09 which was dark chocolate with cherries baked in pumpernickel bead and butter. Then there is a bread pudding which melts in your mouth and a chocolate truffle mousse. Oh and read the menu, the wording of it is genius! I must admit, I'm not a huge fan of desserts. Savory food is my thing. However, I do like white chocolate so I ordered the perfect panther which is frozen vanilla bean ice cream drizzled with white chocolate. It was amazing!!! My husband's dessert was amazing too and he wound up also ordering what I got! hahhaa. And get this, the total bill was under $20. Score!!!!

Worth going to. Fun romantic place. Very dark and different. I recommend going late at nite. Wines by the glass were mediocre but it didnt really matter because they are overshadowed by the awesome taste of the chocolate on the rims of the glasses. Cool idea. In my opinion this is a couples place and not a place for friends and families.... Definitely for couples or maybe a double date. That being said, I wish the owner would have not allowed that annoying crying baby into this romantic and unique place. Absolutely destroyed the vibe. No crying baby in a low lit late nite key west romantic spot would have given this place 5 stars....

Demetrios K.

This is such a great idea the service is tips. The waitress was so good to set the mood and she set the mood. The dessert was DElicious!! Ask them to give you a Rim job it's what their known for. Have a romantic evening. The will do parties of 4 but this is a couples place We are going again, make sure to make reservations!

B S.

Everything about this place is sexy, from the creatively named desserts to the caramel dipped glasses you lick shamelessly. Were they the hands down best desserts of my life? No. But the unique ambiance, knowledgeable service tasty dishes make me a fan. As a table we tried 7 desserts and my favorites were the raspberry truffle and the donut holes. We had no trouble making reservations in advance for our party of 6.

Pretty GD good! Great beers, great other drinks, dark, romantic, amazing deserts, somewhat pricey but the perfect destination for some type of occasion and Vday. Desert only by the way, no regular food. Go!

OH MY GOSH IS IT?? Well... My husband and I were on our honeymoon, so (Dad don't read this) No, no it wasn't. BUT it was pretty damn delicious. I eat gluten-free and they have a wonderful flourless chocolate torte that has a kinky name (like all the others) that has nothing to do with what it tastes like. The place is very dark and romantic, of course--and you get your own flashlights. We had a sweet white wine dipped in caramel, (I'd hate to wash dishes here) it was wonderful. They also have cards from random party games on the table in case you don't want to talk about sex, (Edit: In case you are boring). Overall, I'd go here again, even if it was pretty expensive.

This is an amazing place to have dessert in Key West. I had the French Ice Cream and my companion had the Red Velvet Cheesecake. The Ice Cream was superb and the Cheesecake made me have plate envy, it was just fabulous. Two tips: this place is so hot you must make reservations, and if at least two of you want to drink wine consider a bottle of Moscato. Moscato is a sweet wine and for $25.00 it came with a caramel rimmed glass for both of us. The bottle was a good deal as you will linger over your dessert and enjoy every last morsel of it. We even had one of the nicest waitresses on earth, Kelly. If you enjoy dessert you must try this place.

Teri F.

This is a great place with a clever idea and menu!!! I really enjoyed the desserts and the lovely and helpful wait staff...The Key Lime Pie was excellent. I loved the ice cream although it wasn't made on the premises. I didn't think the Cookie Nookie Pie was that great. The other issue was you are definitely paying big bucks for the ambiance...But it was a fun experience and I went with my 21 year old daughter...So there! P.S. The menu's were really cool.

What a GREAT place to take your gal and just have a romantic time and walk out feeling like you just set the stage for a GREAT GREAT night...Thanks Carolyn for making dessert and drinks something so much more...I open tabled a reservation on the fly in the middle of dinner a few blocks a way...

Nick R.

This place should be on your must go list in key west. It is well worth the wait so my advice is to make a reservation. The iPad menu is a great idea. It's very romantic and great experience. The staff was great, nice, sweet and informative. I recommend the doughnuts.

Aurora N.

This place has all the markings of a pretentious tourist trap. Overpriced menu, people lining up around the block, and a gimmick. I say this with love as I really quite like the place and I'm cool with a gimmick as long as the food can back it up, and they do! It is so dark in here that you're handed a flashlight along with the menu. After perusing the menu for a minute or two we settled on the Peanut Butter Perversion. Was it better than sex? I dare not say, but for those lazy nights when looking hot means putting on chapstick, it fits the bill. The dessert was f*cking amazingballs. On top of that I'm dying to go back, as it was soooooo busy we ended up getting take out instead of waiting an hour for a table. It would be nice to go with a group and order a few desserts. The one we had was easily enough for 2-4. I will conquer the chocolate grilled cheese next time....oh yes I will.

Tricia M.

We came here on the recommendation of a waiter at another restaurant. It was amazing! We each had a "rim job." The banana hammock is a caramel rimmed glass with Well's Banana Bread beer. The choco cab is a chocolate rimmed glass of cabernet. Both were delicious! (Hard to replicate once you leave paradise, though...) We split a banana bazooka. It was amazing! Don't ignore the non-chocolate options! One thing that I really liked about this place was that they text you when your table is ready. You can either make a reservation or walk-in to do the texting thing. It was awesome. We went for a walk and came back 40 minutes later. A really fun way to spend a late night if you're in KW for a few days.

Cool menu at first site, then comes the super kind and friendly service. We were called 'virgins' cuz it was our first time there :P Anyways, had the best Cookie Nookie Pie there, and Michelle's Multiple Entry was good but a little sweet for my boyfriend. LOVE this place, and it's better to reserve before you go.

They prep and bake everything in the morning and serve earth-shattering creations 6pm - Midnight. Slightly off Duval, I recommend EVERYone to stop in. Intimate and sultry, ideal for couples and small parties, absolutely the perfect way to end your night out!

Marco D.

A special place where to eat delicious desserts. As the name implies this place wants to have a romantic and erotic atmosphear. They do not go too far and the place is very enjoyable. The service is good and polite, the desserts are very very good. The drinks are served in glasses bordered in chocolate which makes them special. They do not turn on the lights, instead you have a candle at your table and they provide you with a flashlight to look at the menu, very nice! This is a very nice place to go eat a dessert with your special one and I fully recommend it.

Tripp W.

For my 200th review, I can't think of a more deserving place than Better Than Sex, which coincidentally isn't better than sex. They make a valiant effort though and throw in plenty of sexual innuendo for good measure. First off, this establishment is not for the shy. That said..... BTS is right down the street from Blue Heaven posed inconspicuously as a quaint little restaurant. We walked by in the day time and barely noticed the place. At night on the other hand, BTS's windows emit a red glow calling you inside for a peak. Upon entering, I highly suggest taking a seat at the bar. Not only was our service amazing, but you get to talk to the highly eclectic group of patrons that frequent BTS. Fascinating! The bartender was hilarious. He really played into the innuendo I mentioned above. All the desserts and drinks (rim jobs) had naughty names with equally leading descriptions. There was even a full library of sex how-to books and games to peruse while waiting. Just reading over the menu was an event. Jadyn's Gyration , Caramel 'Over Me', Jungle Fever, and Team Cream; the list goes on. After much deliberation, we went with: The "Choco-Port" - Port in a dark chocolate rimmed glass. Orgasmic/sublime combination. I can't believe I haven't seen this elsewhere. Carley's Button - Great sparkling red with a dark chocolate rim with a white chocolate button. Yummy and sweet. Better Than Sex - I am a chocolate freak and folks, it doesn't get much better than this. Several types of chocolate, bread, cake and cherries in one amazing baked combination. It took a little while for my eyes to reattach after the first bite. Voomish Violette - Two huge scoops of lavender and rose water ice cream. Rich and light at the same time. Prefect to offset the choco-bomb BTS cake. I can't say enough good things about BTS. The fabulous service, drinks, and dessert were all world class. Do yourself a favor when in Key West and make the trip. Your taste buds and naughty parts will clash in an epic argument on who got it 'the best'.

Shannon K.

AhMAzing. Service was wonderful, ambiance is even better. We showed up on time for our reservation and were seated promptly. High tech iPad menu is really fun, along with the games at the table. I started with the white chocolate dipped moscato and boyfriend had the chocolate dipped strawberry beer. You can definitely split a dessert, but why would you want to? I ordered the chocolate grilled cheese, he ordered the cookie nookie- mine was better. Ended with the caramel apple beer which was actually my favorite part. Maybe a tad overpriced but the entire experience is what you're paying for. Go, you won't be sorry.

Cissy Z.

Came here because I love the name of the restaurant and felt like it's a must-go in Key West. I went with my bf for dinner, because I figured it was gonna be super heavy. The desserts and drinks we got was awesome, and I liked that how they made everything sex related (the shape of the melting Chocolate cake). One thing I still haven't figured out is when is a good time to go there, because all of their desserts are humongous, and it was too heavy even as a meal. If you are going there, I would recommend you eat something ahead of time for the sake of your tummy. Also, make sure you make reservation before you go, this place is very popular!

Decadent and a bit sinful...Better than Sex offers tantalizing options in a dim, romantic setting. Smooth soft jazz filters through the speakers, while the menu is filled with not-particularly subtle innuendos. Deep merlot hues on the walls, pictures of women in various states of undress, eclectic chandeliers and mounds of wax dripping candles, Better than Sex manages to set the perfect scene of seduction. We didn't make reservations, and I guess that we might have just gotten lucky, because it definitely did manage to fill up quickly. This is a desserts only spot, although they do offer a chocolate and brie sandwich that they said was "more on the savory side." To drink I went with the "Caramel Over Me" a glass of white muscato in a caramel dipped glass. I have to confess I have no idea how they got the drips to form so perfectly and yet while I was drinking it didn't ooze down any more and it manged to keep its shape. The caramel was possibly the best I've had EVER, absolutely yummy! My boyfriend went with the "Kelly's Climax," which was a sparkling red moscato in a white chocolate rimmed glass, and he still can't stop raving about how delicious it was. The waiter told us that it actually is sent from Italy and they have to ship it to New York before it is sent to them. For the dessert (or entree I guess at a dessert and drinks bar), we went with the "Between my Red Velvet Sheets Cheesecake" and the Jungle Fever. One probably would have sufficed since the two with the wine was quite a lot (I ended up taking most of mine to go). The red velvet was actually a combination of red velvet and cheesecake with cream cheese whipped cream (they said frosting but it was much lighter than that), and was tasted like perhaps a hint of amaretto? It was thick, creamy and pretty good, but it wasn't the best thing I've ever had. The jungle fever was like a chocolate bomb, with hot melted chocolate oozing out from warm chocolate cake that contrasted with the cold vanilla ice cream that accompanied it. It was a good combination and my boyfriend loved it. This is a unique place with lots of delicious treats. It is a bit off the beaten path, which helps keep it from feeling solely like a tourist spot. Makes for a fun, romantic and sultry place that would be nice for a date, make a great bachelorette party stop, or just a provocative place to satisfy your sweet tooth! Just a warning though, it really isn't the most kid-friendly spot, so you may want to leave them at home!

This was ok. I don't understand all the hype about it. I wish I would have had a great experience like all the other Yelpers. The drinks are yummy but the desserts were mediocre at best and way over priced. And I LOVE dessert. I really wanted to love this place but was not impressed.

One word (Devine), maybe up there with celestial with each bite! As "foodies", we have found many of the fine dining establishments in Key West lacking in food taste and presentation. This restaurant is the exception, and is absolutely fantastic in taste, presentation, and outstanding wait staff. We made two trips during our stay and will return. You must include this in your dining repetoire.

Better than sex?? Their key lime pie is not even better than a Snickers at your local 7-11. This place is overrated and gets business thru a gimmicky name.

Only negative is that I cannot give a bonus star! My wife and I came here for dessert for our 15th anniversary and what a way to the day! We walked into this unique, romantic, and intimate place and were greeted by one of the owners Len, which is always a good way to start. Hint-make a rsvp as the word is out about how awesome this place is...We had coffee with mugs dipped in chocolate and drizzled with caramel which was a very unique and awesome way to serve. We also had the "better than sex" chocolate bread pudding, and the grilled brie cheese with chocolate and raspberry sauce for dipping which were both recommended by our awesome waitress Marguerite. Just looking around at the other desserts ordered at the other tables, I am sure they are all great, and these two were fantastic!! The owners Len and Dani share a wonderful passion which certainly shows and wears off on the creativity and quality of this unique dessert restaurant. Do not go to Key West without going here or you are missing out!! I only wish there was another one closer to where we live in Palm Beach County....

We walked in on a Friday night thinking we had a reservation. We had came a day early and they were nice enough to seat us anyway. The place was so dark they show you to your seats with a flash light. They give you a flash light to read the menu. It was fun and I couldn't wait to read the menu. There were four of us and we all got something different and shared; chocolate grilled cheese, peanut butter perversion, Jungle Fever and some amazing salted caramel popcorn special that tasted like sex in your mouth. I tried everything and it was all amazing. I am not even a fan of peanut butter and I even liked the peanut butter dessert. We also had the Mascato with glasses dipped in caramel. Seriously? Why didn't I think of that? It really went well with the dinner. I still have dreams about that Mascato. Our server was fun and seemed to enjoy the theme. We fed right into it being four single girls that seem to have an issue with "appropriate dinner conversation." This place was perfect for us. They only serve dessert and I would leave the kids at home for this one. It was so fun and such a different place. I can't wait to go back.

Come here hungry and ready to loosen your belt or unbutton your pants. This place is one to experience if in KW. Great place for a romantic after dinner spot. The lighting and music makes it such a calming atmosphere. Nobody talks loud even during a full house. All of the drinks are chocolate rimmed and the deserts are made fresh the same day. They are closed Tuesday TIP: make sure you RSVP and you stick to the time. The owners that will check you in plays no games with RSVP and time.

Took my wife here for our 6 year wedding anniversary on our weekend trip to Key West. WOW! I had no idea what to expect, and this place surpassed all my expectations. Lets start with the service. I wish I could remember our waitresses name, but it escapes me at the moment. She was fantastic! Extremely helpful and attentive. We started things off with a bottle of prosecco. Our wine glasses were dipped in dark chocolate. Insane. Talk about romantic and sexy. Our desserts were top notch. My wife had some cookie / pie dessert and I had one called "Jungle Fever". We couldn't decide which was better. They were that good. The atmosphere was fantastic too. They cater to couples, so there were no obnoxious loud people, no kids, just lots of quiet couples enjoying a romantic evening. Very dark lit room (they give you small flashlights to view the menu). An overall great experience. We can't imagine going back to Key West and not stopping here for a night of desserts. Kudos to them for asking if we were celebrating a special occasion. They brought our desserts out with a special "happy anniversary" note. Very nice touch!

Delicious and creative desserts in a romantic setting! This restaurant features decadent desserts with "naughty" names and descriptions. The setting is candle-light with ech table having its own chandelier and flash lites handy so you can read th menu. A fun place for couples on a romantic night out. The portions are large enough to share. As for the food: OMG- best dessert place in town for sure! Key lime was heaven, let me repeat-HEAVEN! I also had a porter beer with a chocolate rim. My friend had the creme brule and a chocolate rimmed glass of wine. The dark atmosphere is super sexy! We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender, Matthew, as we waited for our table, and he was awesome, a total sweetheart. This place is definitely worth looking for! We went with another couple and stayed maybe 2 hours justbecause the ambiance was so inviting, and each table has conversation-starting games and we were having such a good time. I'd drive 5 hrs again just to et to them .

I was very happy with this place. My friend and I were staying at a hotel about a 15 minute walk away. We weren't sure if we were going in the right direction because we heard that the restaurant moved to a new location and GPS was only showing the old location. They had a red light outside, which looked really cool from a distance. Once we saw the red light, we knew that we were heading in the right direction. The dim lighting and velvet decor made for a very romantic atmosphere. However, my friend and I aren't THAT close! She liked the place so much that we went back a few nights later. We only stayed in Key West for 6 nights! I hope to visit Key West next summer. If so, I definitely will bring my boyfriend here. Their desserts are so incredibly delicious and the drinks are very good.

It's 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. You can't help but smile (or silently chuckle) at the oversexualized descriptions of the dishes. My girl and I were surprised and eager to try their chocolate rimmed cocktails, this included beer. We were in heaven. My lady chose a blueberry wheat beer with a white chocolate rimmed glass and I ordered a vanilla stout with dark chocolate rim. Ugh, delicious. The desserts were good, not brilliant, but noteworthy. I went with the red velvet cheesecake or as this place put it, "Between My Red Velvet Sheets" cheesecake ($12.69). Red velvet sheets...ouch. My lady chose her tried and true dessert go-to, a brownie. Oh, but not any brownie, the "Jungle Fever" brownie ($11.69). I've got to reference the description of this one... "Smooth. Soft. Supple. A warm chocolate brownie body oozing a dark pudding. Rubbing up against cool white vanilla bean balls." And scene.

Great date night spot about 10 seconds off the beaten path of Duval, but a world away. Dark, romantic, sexy, inviting. We had to wait for a table, but the host was extremely friendly and offered a few suggestions to kill time. Much sooner than we had anticipated, we were led to a cozy table for two, and presented with a stack of menus. Our order: Two Mandy's Man Candy (Strawberry beer with a chocolate rimmed pint glass) A peanut butter perversion and a chocolate grilled cheese. The peanut butter pie was silky, and had a light peanut flavor - very good. The chocolate grilled cheese was brie and chocolate on cinnamon toast. So good, and a fairly simple re-creation at home! During our time here, a very obnoxious, very large group came in. One of the group members made a mess of the mens room, likely sponsored by Jose Cuervo. Management handled the issue immedeately, and Sir Sipsalot left. Unfortunately, the table was still extremely loud and I felt they should have been asked to leave.

This place is worth every penny. From the friendly staff and waiters to the raunchy (named) menu items, it's the perfect place for a romantic evening, sprinkled with a few dirty jokes and delicious "rim jobs."

Just go. Keep it simple. It's a must see. They look to keep things extremely intimate so they encourage parties of 4 or less. The amount of creativity this places entailed is amazing. The drinks, menu items (clever names), reading material offered and the actual desserts are all worth 5 stars. The service is also exceptional. If you don't enjoy eating sweets I am confused as to why you would choice a DESSERT restaurant to visit during your stay. Perfect for a special occasion.

After having an amazing casual dinner on Duval Street, I was searching yelp for a dessert place/bakery. I went here thinking it was just a casual place to grab a piece of key lime pie. I was wrong, pleasantly so, but wrong nevertheless. This place is a total experience, probably best for a couple. It's very dimly lit, and each table is in a nice little alcove. The menus are very cool - because it is so dark, the menus are backlit when you open them. I went with the recommendation of most yelpers, and got the brie and chocolate grilled cheese sandwich, and was not disappointed in the slightest. I probably wouldn't go back as casually as I did tonight on my own, but if I were on a date, or with a small group of friends, I would definitely go back here!

Ashton C.

Oh my goodness, GO!! What a sexy food experience. To drink, we had the homemade Kahlua with White Chocolate Mouse topping and Cookie Nookie Pie ($11.69) Here was the Menu Description: You'll be sure to "Get Some" Nookie when you spoon up this sweetie. Imagine the inside of a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven being wrapped up in a fluffy blanket of flakey pie crust. Wrapped up inside you'll find bits of chocolate pieces, pecans and ooey gooey goodness. Served with a vanilla bean ball nestled along side.

For the last two years Chris and I have visited Better Than Sex every labor day weekend. The first year (2010) we ordered the Chocolate & Brie Grilled Cheese which was divine. If memory serves we ordered a milk stout from Lefthand and I ordered a glass of milk with a rim job of chocolate. The second time (2011) we ordered the red velvet cheesecake (Between my red velvet sheets) and that was amazing. Each time we went we had a group with us so we got to try a lot of different desserts including the Jungle Fever, the Cookie Nookie, the Peanut Butter Perversion, and other various items. Everything was incredible. I love this place and each time we make the trip to the Keys I will demand we go here. Also I can't stress enough to ask for Kelly as your server. I am a little biased as I know her personally but she is an incredible personality who really plays on the tongue-in-cheek names and sexyness of the sex talk. And you could try her drink too... Kelly's Klimax!!!

Very fun place! A unique experience, the restaurant is very very dark with backlit menus (so cool!). The service is great! Our waitress Kelly was sassy and spunky and added to the overall experience. There are only desserts and drinks on the menu and we loved everything we ordered. Great place for a late night treat!

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. Unfortunately it was disappointing. I gave it 2 stars for originality. The atmosphere is great. Cozy, sexy, romantic. The menu is on iPads so you can see in the dimly lit restaurant. Which is unique to most places. The presentation of the desserts well done. Service good. However, thats where the good part ends for me. My husband and I each had different desserts. I had the flour less chocolate cake, as Im gluten free. There were hardly any options for anyone gluten free. Ive had tons of different flour less chocolate cake over the years, since Im gluten free. This was really bad, its hard for me to say that, because I have a sweet tooth. The chocolate cake almost had a waxy taste to it. For me, I found it inedible. I felt bad sending it back. So my husband gave me his custard and he had the cake. He found it equally disappointing, and actually didn't feel well after eating it. I wanted to order a white russian with my dessert. You would think that would be a drink you would be able to order there. No, could not accommodate it. Instead they gave me some baileys drink. It was also horrible. It was on the room temp side, and I barely had any of it. My husband had a hard root beer float. He said it was mediocre. They look like they have a great selection of desserts to choose from. Im just not sure the taste, will match the presentation of what you get. The price is a real downer too......after paying close to $50 with tip for 2 desserts and 2 drinks, I know I would def. skip going here again. You can get so much better quality desserts else where and for half the price.

The name says it all! Even if you are one of those strange people who doesn't like dessert, you will find something here.. You may even change your opinion on sweets! The decor is intimate and pretty and the girls who work there are super sweet and adorable. We were considered "virgins" since it was our first time. Upon opening the menu which lights up, you will experience an overwhelming feeling of wanting to order everything on the menu. I went with the Choco cab which was Cabernet with a chocolate "rim job". For my dessert I had the chocolate grilled cheese and my boyfriend had the "between my red velvet sheets" cheesecake... Obviously he shared with me! This place was simply amazing and a must for anybody visiting the island.

Romantic and different. Strolled over after dinner at Santiago's Bodega, and had a fantastic evening sharing a bottle of champagne in chocolate covered glasses - it was delicious, fun, and a different Key West experience - also highly recommended for any couples.

FYI closed until Oct 11, 2013 (they are on vacation). Don't be disappointed like we were :( and come here expecting them to be open.

I loved that this place is candle lit, legitimately candle lit, not like low lighting for mood, but actual candles only. I ordered some peanut butter pie that was just divine and my friend ordered some red velvet cake that was just as good. They staff was friendly and I enjoyed that each table had conversational cards.

We almost didn't go to Better Than Sex. We had eaten a late-ish lunch and having been warned about how large their desserts were, we were worried we may be too full. We decided to call and try to make a reservation for 8pm on a Friday night. The host said that he was booked full for 8pm, but we could come anyways and we'd only have to wait 15 minutes at worst for a table. Fine by us. We arrive a little before 8pm and were immediately shown a table in the corner. SCORE! Based on some previous reviews, we were expecting it to be a little darker inside than it really was. Yes, there are flashlights on the tables for you to read the menu. Many people will need them, but they're not 100% necessary. The other thing that immediately surprised us is how well the noise from outside was blocked out. There was a Caribbean street party going on literally outside the front door, and we couldn't hear any of it. Our waitress, Kelly, came by and explained the concept and told us the highlights of the menu. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about everything. We both got chocolate rimmed glasses of wines and desserts. Everything we had was excellent. All the chocolates, wines and desserts were paired perfectly. True to the stories, the desserts were huge. A couple could probably share one. Where Better Than Sex falls down is in the atmosphere. Yes, the sexual innuendo and dining by candlelight should be perfect, and it almost is. But the tables are a little close together. The tables aren't all couples either - there were parties of four and six nearby. Lastly, while it wasn't "Live Jazz Night" according to the calendar, there was a live jazz guitarist playing. To me, his jazz was a little upbeat and lively for what should have been a more romantic setting. That said, Better Than Sex is a great experience that deserves to be tried.

I was really looking forward to BTS and expected an intimate setting. We were seated next to two tables full of couples -- the wives were at one table while the husbands sat at another. Yeah, SO romantic! We did the wine served in candy-dipped glasses. It's tasty and fun at first. The caramel dripped all the way down the stem and my hand got sticky in a non-sexy way. They do give you little hand wipes, so yay. I asked about gluten-free options and was directed to the only GF thing on the menu. If this were a traditional restaurant with four or five desserts, I'd be happy with the one GF option. But for a restaurant that does nothing but desserts, and already knows how to do one GF thing, it'd make sense to do more. That being said, the tongue bath truffle was delicious. We also got a side of the violette ice cream. It tasted like Violette candies.

Love, love, love!!! The decor and ambiance are what you might expect- low light, beautiful chandeliers, and lots of red and lace accents on the walls/windows. The service was great and the drinks and desserts were so good! Chocolate rimmed glasses for most wines and beers (my wine glass was also dipped in a sugar-chili spice mix). I had the grilled cheese, my husband had the fondue, and our friends had the key lime pie and chocolate cake. But my description doesn't do the place any justice. Better Than Sex is a must-do!
(5)
Todd P.

Ummmm, I'm not saying whether it really was. Better Than Sex, that is. But for you chocolate fans out there, I'd say it's pretty damn close. This place is a lot of fun, with no shortage of innuendo in the naming of their desserts and specialty drinks. Allow me to enlighten you with a couple: "Missionary Crisp." Okay...one wonders if this is the most boring, common, but reliable dessert on the menu. Or how about, "Tongue Bath Truffle." Lickety-lick. I sampled a few bites of the Peanut Butter Perversion, a peanut butter silk pie with a chocolate chip cookie crust; and the Jungle Fever, and I quote, "A warm, chocolate-brownie body oozing a dark pudding, rubbing up against cool, white bean vanilla balls." I believe they're referring to ice cream in that description. Haha! Both of these desserts were of course rich as hell and incredibly delicious. But I just had a bite or two of each, so no Big Chocolatey O for me. I did enjoy a specialty drink called "Kelly's Climax" -- a champagne flute with the top dipped in white chocolate and then filled with a sparkling red wine. Several others in our group had the Chocolate Cab -- a similar presentation but with dark chocolate and a Cabernet Savignon. Cigarette anyone?

Elizabeth H.

Fantastic, unforgettable experience. This place is not afraid to be bold. Really, it was more silly than romantic to me with the sexy playing cards and the too dim lighting and innuendo filled menu, but that made it all the more fun. Loved the gluten free chocolate cake and amazing raspberry sorbet!
(5)
Jamie C.

This place is located off the main strip sorta hidden amongst some residential buildings. Agree with Todd P on the innuendos, the presentation also contributes mildly on certain desserts....they were great!! They're very creative and their drink special of the evening is referred to as the 'one night stand'. Our waitress could not have been any cooler and she said she's usually the hostess, I forgot her name, but she described all the details of the desserts and recommended her favs which turned out to be deeeeeelish!

If you are into dessert this is a must visit place. I ordered "Better than sex" it was one of the best chocolate dessert. The quantity and the taste match the price. Make sure to make reservation way in advance. Absolutely perfect for romantic evening.

Good desserts, nice ambience, hilarious menu. The place is so dark that you will be issued a flashlight upon entry. Great idea, but over priced. No more than any other specialty shop though, so its to be expected...give it a try...

Nell B.

"Kinky Key Lime Pie" was fantastically declicious. Got our order to go, so I can't comment on service, but ambience (while we were waiting for our order) was definitely sexy and cool. Will go back on my next visit to KW and eat there instead of getting it to go. Wonderful!!

Wow...simply amazing. Perfect for couples. Food - I had the creme brule beer with a side of creme brule. Both were awesome. The beer glass had been dipped in white chocolate and had sugar around the rim. They were both fantastic. The restaurant is owned by a husband/wife couple. The husband runs the front of house and the wife is the chef. She came out personally after my Creme Burle arrived and showed me the chef recommended way of eating it. Simply awesome. She later came back and took the time (roughly 15-20 min) to just chat with my wife and I about how she started the business and basically anything else we wanted to know. You can tell that each piece of food is made with passion (and time!). The red velvet cheesecake my wife had, takes 9 hours to prepare! You can't go wrong with this place. Save up, go hungry, and enjoy!

We love wine and we love chocolate. The port wine with the dark chocolate might have been the best thing I ever tasted. My wife had milk chocolate with a nice cab. Incredible desserts. Pricey but worth it for a late stop. Very romantic.

I booked an early dessert for dinner reservation for a bachelorette party. It is tiny so, in order to accomadate seven people we had to be early. Immediately, I was impressed with the service. The wait staff really plays up the double entendre of the menu. It is really dim, which helps the ambiance. Our group was tired from the night before, but the table games provided helped get conversations started. I had the apple lambic with the caramel coated glass, which was a great idea for a drink. I'm allergic to chocolate, so I did not have many options on the menu. My fellow bachelorettes really enjoyed the wine and chocolate drinks. Since I have the chocolate allergy, I went with Team Cream, which was a custard dessert with shortbread on the side. It was great, but not up to a Parisian pastry. I also ordered the Voomish Violette, which was violet ice cream imported from France. I loved this ice cream! I would go to Better than Sex just for this ice cream. At Lauduree in Paris, I had the most amazing violet pastry and this ice cream brought me back to Paris. The staff really made our night special by making the Bride-to-Be's dessert with a special note and a candle.

This is the place to go for the best desserts in Key West.. desserts are proportioned to share with someone else... the atmosphere is incredibly sexy and fun... very Key West vibe..... it is best to make a reservation, they are that busy... Again best desserts, I promise you will not be disappointed----- this place IS better then SEX....

High priced desert bar. $11.00 for a slice of pie? Yes it was good but not that good. I gave them a fair chance. Will not return.

They should change their name to "Similar To Sex with a Hooker", because they want you in and out fast. My girlfriend and I went there this past Sunday night at 9 PM, the concept of the place was very interesting, the dessert was good.. BUT we felt rushed, we were still eating our desserts when the waitress handed us the check (which we did not ask for) and said "No rush, take your time". Yet not even 2 minutes later came by to pick up the check (which I haven't even thought about paying) as we were still trying to enjoy our dessert. Another 2 minutes go by another waitress comes by to take the check (which again I haven't even thought about paying).. After the 2nd time I got the hint that they wanted our butts out of there. So we packed up the rest of our dessert and paid the bill. I saw them do this to another couple the table next to us. I guess when they said "we want your experience to be enjoyable" that just means order your dessert and get the hell out.

Good atmosphere: lots of candles, romantic chandeliers, and mellow music. The desserts...not great, and the service did not help. All the desserts, we tried, 3 of them, were super super sweet, and had many different flavors going on, not all complimentary. I believe you can make a wonderful dessert without it all being about sugar. This is a dessert restaurant, how about some fresh fruit?? Maybe with homemade whipped cream. All the desserts came with this white fluffy foam that had no flavor and did not add to the experience. Our server spoke so quickly that we could not understand her, and listening to other customers they could not either. Everyone had to ask her to repeat herself. And still she needed to slow down. She brought us the wrong dessert, which is why we wound up trying 3, then told us it was ok, she would pay for it. Should I feel badly that she was moving to quickly to actually listen to what I ordered? No. I will not be back here, not when so many other restaurants have wonderful desserts and its not even their specialty. I spent as much money for dessert as I did for a full dinner, and it was not nearly as satisfying.

Dear God , let's just say I am glad this place is not in my town. I feel like they design this restaurant with me in mind, This is my kind of place. I was so, so happy to eat here... OK so! enough drooling, let me tell you this is a dessert only restaurant, and not just any dessert like cheese cake, key lime pie, this are very delicious, complex, well thought out desserts, created by a very talented pastry chef. The decor is very romantic, sensual, is very dark, so much that they provide you with a flash light so you can read your menu, candles everywhere. They have a bar but only serve wine and beer, but even some of the drinks are desserts. Honestly more than five stars I would give this place one hundred. Don't bring kids or very big groups, is small and intimate. the prices? who cares... everything is freaking delicious. can't wait to go back.

Adrienne B.

This place is truly unique. I called at 6 pm for 8:30 reservation on a Thursday night and had no trouble getting a reservation. You are greeted by the owner who is also the chef. Service is great and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. Go hungry...the dessert servings are enormous. Everything is sex-themed and reading the menu half of the fun. We tried the creme brulee (the name escapes me at this time) served with homemade shortbread cookies and almond whipped cream. Yum!

Denisee G.

After reading a few good reviews about this place, we couldn't leave Key West without trying it out. It was a great experience! I loved the names of the drinks and desserts, t Everything tasted wonderful, and the service was great. I had the Kelly's Climax which was a moscato in a glass rimmed with white chocolate. Then I had "jungle fever" as my main dish: chocolate molten cake with vanilla "balls":-) ver fun place! We had a great time! Go hungry because the desserts are big!

Connie G.

Wonderful, creative desserts here. I loved my chocolate grilled cheese, and my husband was equally pleased with his Banana Bazooka. Perfect atmosphere and attentive waitstaff. Pricey, but worth the splurge.

Olga Q.

If I could give this place a million stars I would! I've never been to a restaurant dedicated completely to desserts, and I wish more of these existed. It was just my luck that the day we arrived to the Keys was the last day the restaurant would be open before its week of hiatus due to a move to a bigger location they were making. They managed to fit us into a last minute reservation and our group of four ordered 4 different "rimmed" drinks and 4 different desserts. I personally had the red velvet cheesecake which was phenominal! My drink was a sparkling moscato with a white chocolate rimmed glass which I chugged! Everything was so good that it didn't bother me at all to have spent so much money on only dessert. I actually didn't even realize how much we spent until later that evening when we all got hungry and were ready for an actual meal. I highly recommend a trip here you will not regret it at all its worth every single calorie!

Went there twice. The first time I had Kelly climax, which was pretty good. The second time I asked for a non-alcoholic drink ( since we were expecting) and the only option they had, besides coke etc was some sort of pomegranate-juice based cocktail. Not impressed. My husband had 2 glasses choco-raspberry wine on the ice and some caramelish liquor. Both were pretty good. The desserts - better than sex and sugar daddy cheesecake - were fresh and yummy, however, nothing is better than sex :)

What a great way to end an evening!! After eating a great dinner at Louie's Backyard, we headed out to this dessert restaurant that was highly recommended by Garbo's Grill owner, which was also a fabulous find on this mini-vacation. It had such a quaint and romantic atmosphere and the desserts were out of control!!! We called to make reservations and they were completely booked. We decided to wing it, and thank God luck was on our side and we were able to be seated at the bar. The bartender was super nice and friendly and the four desserts that our party of four ordered were amazing: Better than Sex, Between my Red Velvet Sheets, Team Cream, and Cookie Nookie. Definitely call to make reservations the next time you go to Key West!!!!!!!

Viktoriya L.

Better than sex if you can't have sex at that time...We came here for desert while on honeymoon in Key West. It was soooo worth it. Deserts were innovative and creative. You eat desert in the almost dark and it wakes up all your senses. The waiters take orders with flashlights and provide you with flashlights as well. There are little cute table games on the table to get the conversation started. Locals come in to perform. I am craving it right now!

Patty F.

I am from Miami and visit Key west often and I never leave without visiting this cute little restaurant off Duval St. It's small, dark and romantic but also lot's of fun to go with friends. I usually order the chocolate grilled cheese sandwich! It is amazing but they only have it on specials. So if it's on the menu ORDER IT! Don't park in the little parking lot in front they toll cars all the time from there. I can't wait to go back to Key west and visit my favorite spot! I love this place!

Ali V.

This is one of the most amazing dessert places I have ever been to! I went here while on spring break with my friends, and everything we ordered was absolutely phenomenal! I had the Peanut Butter Perversion, which was a silky peanut butter pie on top of a chocolate chip cookie crust. Oh my goodness... can you say unbelievable?! The peanut butter pie was creamy and melted in my mouth. It was remarkable how the peanut butter was not overwhelming, which is difficult to avoid when making peanut butter desserts. The chocolate chip cookie crust was a tender cookie that enhanced the peanut butter pie. Two of my friends got the Missionary Crisp, which they loved. One of my friends got the Tongue Bath Truffle, which she thought was incredible. It looked very rich, but it is a chocolate lover's dream come true. My other friend got the Cookie Nookie Pie, which I tried a bite of. Delicious! Two of my friends got the choco-milk to drink, which is a large glass of milk that is rimmed in and has chocolate covering the sides. The atmosphere is really interesting and very sexy. The lights are so low that you have to use mini flashlights that are strategically placed on the tables to read the enticing names of the desserts on the menu. On each table, there is a "game" for while you wait including sexual trivia cards- lots of fun with your girls! The service receives an A+ because everything came out promptly and perfectly. This is a MUST GO TO place when in Key West!!!!!!!

Jill P.

Great romantic place. It's run by a husband and wife. It is dessert only. There are dessert drinks as well as very well portioned desserts. I had the "One Night Stand" (special of the evening) which was the grilled cheese and "tomato soup". It was a dark chocolate with brie on a buttermilk bread (not 100% on the bread), dusted with powdered sugar. It was served with a berry proseco soup. Amazing dessert. I also had the Kelly's Klimax, white chocolate dipped glass of red sparkling moscato and Michelle's Multiple which was a cream infused red wine with chocolate in the drink in a dark chocolate rimmed glass. Both were good, but the latter was very rich. Our waitress Michelle (who's concoction I ordered, hehe) was great - very knowledgeable of the menu and suggested most of what we ordered. I'm glad I tried it!

We walk in craving dessert and think, "Oh great, another dive gay bar".... that smells like chocolate? There are no lights and only candles on the tables, along with a large dildo on the bar. The host uses a flashlight to guide us to a seat. The waiter starts out with saying they have the "best rim jobs in town" and repeats this loudly at least 5 times. I quickly order before I hear him announce the specials again and within 10 minutes, dessert is served. The wife got some peanut butter crunch deal and I went with a classic hot fudge Sunday thing. Why was I eating it in the dark? Delicious but overpriced. Better than sex? If anybody answers yes, you're doing it wrong.

Carlene M.

We ate a large lunch and skipped dinner in anticipation of pigging out here and it was worth it. The atmosphere is sexy without being raunchy, with dim lighting and flashlights provided. We each had a "signature drink" where the rim is lined with sugar and chocolate (ie a "rim job")- I highly recommend the "Sex Appeal" champagne cocktail. We each got a dessert to split. The chocolate and brie grilled cheese was the clear favorite and was presented very stylishly. It is paired with a strawberry puree that really compliments the sweet and savory flavors. The "cookie nookie pie" was just so-so- a little too rich and I could have done without the pecans. We made a reservation and service was prompt and friendly. The waitress shared that the owner loved the band on my husband's t-shirt (the Flaming Lips) which made us like the place even more. Although I hate chain restaurants, perhaps they would consider opening up a branch in Boston...I'm getting cravings again just writing this review.

Better Than Sex is a little over the top, but you just have to know that is what you are getting into when you walk through the door. Look at the menu online - it pretty much says it all. My hubby was mildly put off by how sugary the drinks were, but I dug it. We will go back next time we're in Key West.

Whitney L.

Fan-@#!-in-tastic. A group of friends and I happened upon this place just off the beaten track and what a treat it was! This is strictly a dessert restaurant that has a dark red, candle-lit boudoir feel. The menu is creative, decadent and DEEEElicious. The seven of us each ordered something and we rotated the desserts to the left. The keylime pie was light and divine, the Better Than Sex chocolate bread pudding was dizzying, and the over-the-top insanity that had me reeling was the grilled, brie and dark chocolate sandwich served with strawberry soup. Honestly, it made me cry a little. The names of the offerings alone will make you need a cold shower. Go with your honey, your Mr. Right Now, or a group of friends. Top your yummies off with a glass of port rimmed in dark chocolate or a hard cider rimmed in caramel. Who needs entrees anyway?

Cathy W.

Loved it! Had a great time here with amazing desserts! Brie and chocolate grilled cheese sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, delish! Peanut butter pie with chocolate chip cookie dough crust, heaven! If I lived in Key West I would come here often...I'm gonna miss it!

ANDREW D.

Went here during Fantasy Fest, and it lived up to the hype!! Was told about the restaurant from the owner of the B&B I stayed at. It was an unbelievable experience! My date and I had wine with a chocolate rim! While waiting for our food, there are playing cards that you get to ask your partner personal questions, such as, do you fantasize during sex, who do you fantasize about? My date had the cookie nookie and I had their special pumpkin dessert. Trust me, go here the next time you are in Key West!

One week later and I am still dreaming of the Grilled Cheese. It was simply amazing. I loved that they used strawberry sauce in place of the tomato soup that comes with traditional grilled cheese - such a great touch. The whole experience was wonderful! We had the Emily's Entry Rim Job that was amazing for chocolate lovers. The special that night was a bread pudding that was also delish! However I highly recommend the grilled cheese and wouldn't have anything else if I return. Our waitress was excellent and really helped carry out the theme.

OMG- best dessert place in town for sure! Key lime was heaven, let me repeat-HEAVEN! I also had a porter beer with a chocolate rim. My friend had the creme brule and a chocolate rimmed glass of wine. The dark atmosphere is super sexy! We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender, Matthew and he was awesome, a total sweetheart. This place is definitely worth looking for!

This is the best place on this earth thus so far to eat at. The owners are the nicest people. All of the desserts are delicious..... I had jungle fever I believe. It was a freshly made brownie with white ice cream melted on top. I forgot what my partner had. WE came here a while ago.... They have cute little card games you can play while you eat. Someone that can be done on a second date. This is defiantly better then sex or with sex to go....

Dawn G.

Holy mother of God! The brie and chocolated "grilled cheese" with cream of strawberry soup (chilled) is beyond fantastic. Coupled (no pun intended) with the cabernet in chocolate rimmed (again no pun) glass, this place is Better Than Sex!

Gerry G.

Totally expected this to be overrated, but it absolutely lived up to all the other high ratings. Great deserts, ambiance, service, etc. The beers with chocolate and caramel rims (my wife had the porter, I had the apple ale) were incredible. Definitely something we will be trying for our next party. This is a "must do" for any couple or group of friends in Key West.

great desserts great wine great atmosphere. we came across this place while visiting key west. we ordered chocolate cab, and a peanut butter cheese cake dish, it was effing great... we loved it the interior is very cool. the host was very nice he gave us many tips and cool places to go in key west. i wish the had a Better than sex in fresno ca where we live....

The best desserts!!! We recently spent a week in KW and discovered this gem early on in our stay and we were glad we did. We stopped by for a late night dessert 2 evenings and took desserts to go for the next day since they were going to be closed. The peanut butter perversion cake was excellent- a large piece and very rich. I was addicted to the "team cream" creme brulee-- it was so creamy and different from other creme brulees I've had. It was topped with caramel sauce and broken up pieces of sugar candies rather than the traditional burnt sugar. The others traveling with us had the cheesecake and the chocolate truffles which they raved about as well. The ambiance is very nice and the cards with questions are a fun way to get to know random things about those you are dining with. Will definetely return each time we visit KW!

Rory B.

OK, OK.... Better than sex... I am going limp just thinking about it... It in an interesting place for sure. The desserts do have naughty names, it didn't roll off my tongue to easily when a waiter is asking for my choice..if you know what I mean.....they are trying and nice but it reminds me of the 70's at a place down stairs in NY city smoking a blunt but the bad this was they didn't have music. Would I go back hmmmm no...

Food-5 Ambience-5 Parking-2.5 Beer/Wine-4.5 Service-4.5 CHOCOLATE! We weren't hungry, and the group complained they were too full as we had eaten snacks at 6 pm before sunset, and tapas at 9 pm. Somehow, however, we managed to stuff down three desserts for our party of four and waddled out. MAKE A RESERVATION. If you don't like chocolate, you might want to go elsewhere. If you get annoyed at issues such as very dim lighting and cozy, intimate tables, might want to simply eat dessert at the restaurant you are eating at tonight anyway. But if you want blow your mind, Belgian dark chocolate inspired desserts that will curl your toes, look no further. My poor wife and daughter are working out as I write this even though they are so full because I took them over the top with this place. You will feel guilty for the pleasure, but let go of this and indulge! Red velvet cheesecake for my daughter, tongue bath truffle for my wife and mother, and I had to have jungle fever. I had a chocolate rimmed glass of milk as well. Is it truly "Better?" Pretty darn close

M S.

We got our desserts to go (just ate dinner and too full to have dessert jus then). My wife got the better than sex and I got the kinky key lime pie. Both were delicious. We liked the atmosphere of the restaurant so we will go back later this week and eat in. Highly recommended.

We had the red velvet cheesecake and the missionary crisp. Both out standing. Make sure you make a reservation the place was packed and could not accommodate most walk ins.

My wife and I read about this place on yelp and decided to check it out. Its a fun place to go for dessert, and/or a "cheap" date (less expensive than a fancy restaurant). You do need to make a reservation, or you will wait a while. Their menu consists of desserts and drinks with suggestive names; besides the names, the desserts are actually very good. The beers come in a big tall glass, with the top 1/3 of the glass dipped in something like chocolate or caramel, depending on the type of the beer. I had a banana nut beer (it was british), never had that before. Each table has a book that asks the question "what if.." followed by some scenario (idea is to stimulate conversation with your partner). While its marketed as a romantic spot for couples, it would also work well for a 4-some (two couples).

I started my heavy Yelping career in Key West and my star rating ratio is heavy on the 5 stars thanks to Yelp. This restaurant, or should I say dessert cafe, is no exception. Hands down tied for first place in the best key lime pie category (Blue Heaven is the other #1). The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic date and the other desserts leave little to be desired as well. I won't ruin the place too much for you but I recommend either ordering or taking home the Kinky Key Lime pie and the Violet Violla (spellcheck) ice cream. Orgasmic desserts and atmosphere all around

Came here three times on my five night stay in key west. It was kind of expensive but worth it. I had the espresso beer two nights and white moscato wine dipped in Carmel that was very good my wife had choco cab all three nights she said it was the best. For dessert we had the key lime pies that was very good the banana that was very vey good and the red velvet cheese cake that was kind of dry sorry to say but I would still recommend this place highly. Oh yes the waitresses are great!!

I've never done this before, but I'm knocking significant stars off for their prices. How I ended up paying $22 (including tax and tip) for one glass of milk and one slice of cheesecake, which was delicious, btw, is beyond me. Well, it's not really beyond me since I did the ordering, but I just can't understand how anything but a 5 star restaurant get's away with charging $14 for a slice of cheesecake. Never, ever again. Also, the descriptions were so sexually oriented (duh) that I couldn't figure out what I was getting exactly because the descriptions were unclear. Tasted great, but kitchy and ridiculously expensive.

Divine desserts in sultry atmosphere. Because it is candlelit, they handed us a flashlight to read the menu and what a menu it is. We each had a "rim job" drink. My date had a porter with dark chocolate around the rim of the glass and I had an apple ale with caramel around the rim. Then the desserts showed up and they were beautiful enough to take a picture of (and even better to eat!) We had red velvet cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake with raspberry sorbet. Perfection!

Almost everyone that found out that I was going to Key West suggested that I stop by Better Than Sex. My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary here with dessert and drinks. What a fun and intimate experience! We came in early and there was no wait (score)! Upon being seated, our waitress explained the concept of the restaurant and that all of the items have sexy names. She also recommended some of the wines by the glass with chocolate on the rim. I opted for a sparkling red with chocolate and it was perfect. For a girl who loves chocolate and wine, it was a sinful combination. For our desserts, my husband got a key lime dessert and I opted for fried donuts with cheesecake fondue. They added a special touch by including anniversary messages written in chocolate for us. This is truly a unique dessert restaurant and I would encourage anyone who is curious to give it a try!

This was amazing. Never thought an all dessert retardant would work but they nailed it on the head! I would most definitely come back here! Had a few thing and shared it amongst my date. It was her birthday and they made it very special for her!

Little awkward to come here with your cousin and her friend since it's such a sexy intimate atmosphere however it was pretty awesome. Next time I bring my girlfriend.

RJ found this place online before our trip, and we knew we had to go! It's dark and cozy and the staff is friendly and fun. I ordered the Caramel All Over me sweet white Moscato with caramel dripping down the sides of the glass. RJ ordered Kiss Me Katie champagne in a caramel dipped glass with sugar crystals. The drinks were so amazing and delicious that they were gone in 3 minutes, and I said um, were we supposed to drink them that fast?? We licked every bit of caramel off those glasses, and so we ordered 2 more! I had the Popcorn Pimp Cheesecake which was melt in your mouth cheesecake covered in chocolate covered popcorn. OMG!! RJ had the Peanut Butter Perversion which was peanut butter silk pie floating on top of a chocolate chip cookie dough crust. This was the best meal we had on this trip. Better Than Sex is amazing!!

This place is dripping with seductiveness, pun intended considering this restaurant is one HUGE pun (that's what she said). I stumbled upon Better Than Sex 10 years ago during the Goombay Festival when they were at their previous location. They were selling their classic rim job, the Choco Cab, from a booth in front of the restaurant. Cabernet Sauvignon poured into a glass rimmed in luscious chocolate? It was love at first taste. Ever since then, I have made it a point to visit Better Than Sex and believe me the sex... err... restaurant just keeps getting better and better. Sinful dessert grilled cheese made with brie and chocolate and rolled in cinnamon sugar, and the Banana Hammock rim job of banana bread beer and caramel are my absolute favorite menu items. This place is just plain sexy and there is no better word to describe it.

A MUST try on your visit to Key West. It's basically a dessert speakeasy. Lots of items to choose from with detailed descriptions. We had the chocolate grilled cheese, which was fantastic. Staff is very friendly and helpful too.

Great, unique and yummy experience! I dined at their old location years ago so on this trip I wanted to check out their new location. It was a really fun experience. The new space has a bunch of secluded booths, low light and helpful and enthusiastic waiters. We started with some "one night stands" (daily specials) and enjoyed a hot chocolate and Root Beer float. Then we split the Cookie Nookie and the Twist and Stout. Both were delicious! The Twist and Stout cake was so rich that I could barely eat half of it and I'm a major chocolate lover! We were in town celebrating our wedding anniversary and they wrote "congrats" with chocolate on the dishes which was a nice touch. Great experience- just go hungry!

super rich desserts for those celebratory evenings! It was my birthday so I ordered 2 desserts and I could barely make it through 1/5 of each of them. They were delicious just sooo rich. Its a really cool small place for couples to come to and I recommend it. Just be warned you most likely will need a salad after!
