Situated in a historic site, known as the Tarrimore house [52 N Swinton Ave, in Delray Beach, Florida], you’ll find DADA, an “award-winning New-American” restaurant.▫️
Opened in 2000, we last dined at this establishment about a decade ago and wanted to see how it fared in this post-COVID-quarantine-lockdown world. Well, sadly, it was just as disappointing as our prior visit, if not more so. The appetizers and mains, (reviewed earlier), each scored an “F.” And while we normally would have left at this point, since our special 3-course ($45-per-person) “restaurant month” menu included dessert, we thought we would stay and sample what they had to offer.
▫️
The dessert choices included: “Warm Banana Bread Muffin for Two,” “Fried Cider Doughnuts,” and an “Unadulterated Double Chocolate Pecan Brownie.”

When it comes to the doughnuts, they’re usually made with apple cider, with recipes also calling for sugar, salted butter, eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground clove buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Often described as the “flavor of Fall,” or as carrying a taste of a “late-summer apple harvest,” we experienced none of those sensations here. In any event, because these things weren’t light or fluffy, moist, or flavorful, this dessert rated an “F.”

Spare yourself the dough.
