I guess we got really unlucky because all the other reviews are great. The View is wonderful. Our waiter was unpleasant at best - she did not want to be working on a Sunday which was sadly our anniversary. My food was fine but my husband who eats anything had 2 bites and would not eat it. The seafood was definitely frozen (NOT fresh) and by the time we could get any other waiter to get ours we just paid and left - it wasn't worth her attitude. Had truly hoped for at least decent :(

5 stars because my husband went above and beyond and booked the sunset dinner on the sand to celebrate my birthday! The private table on the beach was stunning. The sunset couldn't have been better. The dozen roses and decorated table were so romantic. Our server Kyle was great! The drinks and food were good too. If you're from the Midwest do not order a steak. It doesn't compare to steak in the Midwest. It was an amazing sunset dinner! Highly recommended!!

This must be one of Destin's best kept secrets. I happened to find it on a walk down scenic route 98. I had a delicious bacon cheeseburger, with sauteed spinach on the side. I ate out on the patio facing the beach and it was delightful. I also found that I could take a quick walk on the beach back to where I had left my beach chair. If you are on the beach at Crystal Beach or anywhere on that strip, do yourself a favor by having lunch or supper at 790 on the Gulf!

Incredibly disappointed in 790 on the Gulf tonight. My parents own a beach house in the community across the street from 790 so we have frequented their happy hour quite often throughout the years. Tonight, we visited at 5pm and we were not given the happy hour menus. We went back to the hostess stand to ask for the menus and we inquired about why we were not given them since it was still well within the time of happy hour. We were told that the owner of 790 has explicitly told the staff NOT to give out happy hour menus unless they were asked for. I am appalled that this is the stance the owner is taking. If you don’t want to offer a happy hour then that is your right. But please don’t make your customers of many years have to go out of their way to enjoy your happy hour. I have recommended this place to many of my friends solely based on their amazing happy hour and I am now embarrassed to have done so. It’s either happy hour or it’s not. Don’t make your customers feel like they are imposing on you when they are coming for your advertised “happy hour.” I have also taken the time to notice that the owner only chooses to respond to positive reviews, which again is in very poor taste. I doubt my family and I will be returning and we certainly will not be recommending this establishment to our friends or renters.

We found 790 On the Gulf through locals who know the area, it’s a well kept secret, it’s really a great option in Destin/Crystal Beach for the following reasons; An opportunity to eat as close to the beach as one can get (outside and inside seating), a very nice happy hour with some great beverage and food options. We've been here over a dozen times now in the past 5 months, we can ALWAYS find a place to park even if it’s in the height of tourist season – not all restaurants can say this. The staff is friendly, the manager has been very kind we always see her and she is present during service hours, checking on customers and supporting the staff. The entire staff too many to name, JoJo and others are very helpful we really enjoy this spot!!!! Lots of weddings on the beach here they have a nice setup for these. The patio facing the beach is quite nice we often see dolphin pods cruising up the beach when the water is calm. It’s easy to take a walk on the beach before or after dinner If you are on the beach at Crystal Beach or anywhere on the strip, do yourself a favor by having lunch, dinner of a night cap at 790 on the Gulf!
