790

We were fans of 790 when they were open in FWB years ago. We've always loved their hurricane salad! We recommend extra dressing on the side and also ask for ranch dressing on the side too. The hint of spice, sweetness and then mixed with ranch..... Heavenly!

Java, our server was great! He took awesome care of us!

FYI, it was freezing inside, so I'd recommend a sweater. Only odd thing was the music. It was the Watercolor jazz channel from SiriusXM. There is usually a host running the show that talks in between songs. So we had to listen to some guy talking throughout our time there. Also the music would occasionally drop for a few minutes and then come back on. That happened a lot. Other than that, beautiful restaurant, great food and service!

While on vacation on 6/25/22 at 7pm we decided for this place because of reviews on food and service but service itself was a big, big let down. For starters the hostess tried to squeeze 6 adults (3couples) next to a family with a crying baby. When my sister objected she put us in a corner table far in the back of the restaurant. Our waitress had no nice personality and was very short with everyone, even becoming impatient when someone took too long deciding what they wanted. She didn’t smile or have any warmth whatsoever! The gumbo itself was also one of the main reasons why we picked this place but it was so runny like a soup rather than a roux. The food was not bad, the shrimp/crabmeat dip was by far the best. Please don’t waste your time or money. They need to do better with their staff. I don’t mind paying good money for good/great service but this place was a waste of my very much deserved vacation time and hard earned money. When you’re far away from home you want to see a smiling face and feel welcomed. Too much to ask?

My coworker and I came in for our first time for lunch. After standing up front with no one to help us we seated ourselves at the bar. We ordered drinks, an appetizer, and two sandwiches. Our food finally arrived after we questioned them about its whereabouts. About three other tables were asking the same questions. After we sat there for more than an hour and half for two sandwiches we were given our food. We were told they had a big party and that’s why our food was delayed.
If that’s the excuse then what you’re saying is their money is more important than ours.
As far as the food goes, I’d have to rate it average in a town were average restaurants go to die. This is Destin where you have to know how to do seafood. I wasn’t impressed with the whole experience and even completely let down at the service.

We had dinner there this week and ordered gumbos. They were quite awful. Overseasoned, over reduced, and I highly doubt if fresh ingredients were used (dry shrimp over fresh shrimp?) Not worth the money. Place looks good and servers were great. But the most important thing which is food was not good.

Lovely beachside luncheon for my husband and I, today. It could've been a 5 star experience with the exception of the timely manner of taking our food order & its' delivery. There was only one server for the outdoor tables and she was cordial in doing her best in a professional manner. My husband enjoyed the Mahi Mahi Reuben with StagJr. Bourbon, while I enjoyed bronzed Mahi-mahi with unlimited champaign served in a martini glass. We ended our meal by sharing their "Cajun style" bread pudding; it was also enjoyable, too. The location is amazing right on Crystal Bh.! The weather was perfect with clear skies, in the low 60's and just a slight breeze with the sounds of the waves rolling into the shore. This was a pleasant experience for our first time to 790, so we will return bcz. we are moving down here from one of the "CRAZY northern states".

Loved it. We ate here several times on our trip.

We waited 40 minutes for gumbo and a salad. My fiancé got the gumbo. It was the nastiest gumbo he said he’s ever had. I tried it myself and it was completely gross. My salad was also completely over priced for something I could’ve made at home for much cheaper. Our waitress was also not great. She was more concerned about another table and had other people cater to us. I’ve seen similar reviews as well and it seemed like we weren’t welcomed as well. I feel this is due to poor management. The decor in the restaurant makes up for the bad food I guess. Won’t be back

Sophia was excellent food very good atmosphere very good the staff on the ball someone hit there car and staff stopped them when they attempt to leave

Had an amazing dinner with the family tonight. Lily gave us amazing service and the food was fantastic. Duck gumbo is a must! We will definitely be back for many more meals. Hats off to Ed and his team. Wonderful establishment!!!

Restaurant located at The inn at Crystal Beach. We had them cook the snapper we caught a few hours earlier and ordered the sides to go along. We ate at our condo. Doesn't get fresher than that! BTW sides were amazing
