Creme brulee is basically a thick,rich, slightly sweetened, French custard, usually vanilla flavored, mostly cream, sugar and eggs that is baked in individual dishes in the oven usually in a bain marie so it doesn't overbake and remains very very creamy rather than firm. It is then sprinkled with sugar and either broiled or blowtorched to caramelized the sugar into a thin, hard, crunchy caramel shell. It can be awesome or not so good, depending on the place. Most Disney restaurants have a creme brulee- chocolate, coffee, plain vanilla, banana, even Irish Cream creme brulee at Rose and Crown.
Sorry you didn't like yours. I hope you'll try it again and have a better experience. I LOVE creme brulee! Then again, I can't think of a single dessert I DON'T like- carrot cake, ice cream, brownies, cheesecake, fruit salad, pretty much like it all. lol.
Aloha!
