BETTER THAN SEX – Restaurant
Dessert comes first here, and only after dark. Opened in 2008 a block off Duval Street, this adults only dining room runs on low light, red velvet and twenty tables built for couples. The kitchen sends out Peanut Butter Perversion, Cookie Nookie Pie, the Missionary Crisp and a chocolate and brie grilled cheese served with strawberry champagne soup. Wine arrives in glasses rimmed with white or dark chocolate; the Sexpresso Tini pours over a coffee ice cube. The operator says local Bubba Awards voters named it best desserts ten years running. Walk ins are welcome; reservations are wiser at weekends.
