Last week I went to the D Bar in Denver (D stands for Dessert).

One of the creators of this wonderful place is Keegan Gerhard, former host of Food Network Challenge. While this restaurant has a regular food menu it specializes in desserts. And oh, they are wonderful!
There are two dessert menus, one for daytime and one for nightime. During the day you can get cake and shake, milk and cookies, creme brulee, molton cake, cheesecake, bread puddin' or a bag "o" dounuts. At night the menu gets more elegant with some of the daytime items but also orange-ya glad this souffle has booze!?, tropical fandango (key lime pie), and pink! (buttermilk panna cotta with raspberry cloud, prickley pear sorbet).
I went one night after work with a friend who was visiting and were lucky enough to sit at the bar. But this wasn't you're ordinary bar where alcohol is served. Nope, by sitting at the bar you got to see one of the chefs plate all the desserts. That was as exciting as the actual desserts.
My friend and I split the d=mc2 which was milk chocolate three ways with mousse, salted carmel, peanuts and praline, rice krispies and ice cream. Here's what it looked like:

After
Yes, it was lick the plate delicious. So if you live in Denver or plan to visit, make a stop at the D Bar, it's worth it.
