Reviews for 790 in Destin, FL
I love seafood when I’m at the beach, actually, it’s the main reason that I go to the beach. I also love Cajun food. 790 was... an awesome blend of the two. I thoroughly enjoyed the triggerfish and scallop pasta. My wife had the seafood gumbo. Both disheswere delicious! They also have a full bar and several signature drinks that we enjoyed. The prices are a little higher than someother local restaurants, but portions were large, and flavor was amazing, so the value of the food matched the price. Read more
Stopped in for a quick bite while we were shopping. Atmosphere is very casual and coastal. Menu has something for everyone.... Mainly seafood & gumbo! Full Bar. Service was quick and atmosphere was very laid back. Location is right next to Palms Condos, 2min from Walmart, basically right in the middle of Destin on Highway 98. Read more
My wife and I ate here on a sudden whim -- just in the neighborhood and searched Google for restaurants. We loved the blend of... Florida "beach seafood" vibe and New Orleans spice. We started with cups of the seafood gumbo, which was flavorful but notspicy; we were offered hot sauce but we declined. I would probably order a spicier gumbo if I came alone. Main courses: I hadthe ribeye with shrimp and bbq sauce with a side of mashed potatoes. My wife had the triggerfish and scallops. Both were fromthe daily specials menu and were tasty, filling, and memorable. Homemade keylime pie for dessert. A pleasant evening made evennicer by the attentive and friendly service from Victoria. Thanks for making our last night here in town a lovely one. We'll beback. Read more
Hidden gem in plain sight! Stumbled upon this place while taking my daughter to the trampoline park next door. The bar staff was... so nice and chill and the food was fresh. Great drinks and chill busy vibe. Read more
Out of all the locations that were available I was so happy we chose 790!! The drinks were absolutely exquisite and our server... was top tier!! The appetizer and salad was enough to fill me up. The main dish had me ready for a nap!! 10/10 we have to back totry the desserts Read more
I’m so glad we decided to try this place . Our server Joseph was awesome. The food and happy hour drinks so good. Compliments... to the chef best steak I have ever had! Gumbo spot on red beans cook perfectly but need a little more spice for my husbandhe’s Cajun and loves the heat . This is a must try place here in Destin ! Yummy Read more
We sat in the patio and the view of the beach was beautiful! The tuna appetizer and soup was good. Both entrees left a lot to... be desired, very underwhelming to say the least. The crab cakes were mushy (we've had crab cakes up and down the east coast andthese were the biggest let down) and the shrimp were a little rubbery. Expected a lot more of the food, will not be going backfor dinner. Would suggest appetizers though, but definitely not eating dinner there. As long as you stick with appetizers anddrinks you should be okay. The server was nice but I think she was having an off night. Lastly, I don't get why places servewhat are obviously frozen fries with their food if the food is supposed to be good food. Fresh cut fries go a long ways. Evenfive guys serves fresh cut fries and they're a burger joint. This isn't the only place that does this so it's not that uncommon. Read more
First I have to admit the grilled grouper sandwich caught my attention. The reviews reeled me in but I was delighted with the... atmosphere, quality seafood and appropriate seasoning and great service! While everything was bar none delicious except for theover cooked side of veggies, what really impressed my mom and me was the portion and quality of the fish and the bun, oh my god,the top bun. The tartar sauce was interesting not enough tang but great flavor and creaminess. Our server Sean was excellent,from greeting to serving and getting a slice of pie with a candle for my mom’s bday dessert. Definitely recommend this placefor two or even a small group. There’s a Separate Private dining room available too! Place is light, bright and perfect subtlenautical theme. Read more
