We got to try a couple of their dessert items: the molten chocolate cake (pictured above) and the cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e (pictured below).<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/8622603403\/\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8239\/8622603403_060353f4fd.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Both were delicious, but I preferred the cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e because the chocolate cake was just too rich. The cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e was perfect. Its consistency reminds me of the ones they serve at Bonefish which Brian loves.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/8622594219\/\"  title=\"Untitled by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8392\/8622594219_aabddce846.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:left; padding-right:15px; padding-top:5px;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/329\/1656212\/restaurant\/Candle-Club-Wichita\" ><img alt=\"Candle Club on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/1656212\/biglink.gif\" style=\"border:none;padding:0px;width:200px;height:146px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>I also got to try a couple of martinis that night: a chocolate martini (pictured above) and a lemon drop martini (not pictured). Both were very good as well. We had a wonderful evening watching the Fabulous Fleshtones perform and celebrating Doug&#8217;s retirement. Several people from work even joined us.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I really like the Candle Club and wouldn&#8217;t mind going there again. Of course, we can only go whenever our friends are performing because we&#8217;re not members. That&#8217;s probably a good thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever felt like you just stepped out of a time machine into a different era?
