I'm sorry to see that this restaurant has closed the food in the ambiance was great. I feel that this is Fort Pierce's loss. The chef and the owner's vision for this type of restaurant is going to be lost the cuisine was next level I'm sorry they weren't that many people that were here to support it again it will be a great loss. But if it was open I would highly recommend it.

Good food, good atmosphere, good staff. The only problem is that this place closed half of the time or out of business half of the time. This week it is temporarily closed for no reason at all. One week it is open and then another week it is closed so one never knows what's going on with this place. Crazy.

We haven't been to 121 Tapas since they reopened after COVID. Last night we experienced a lovely meal with flavors that danced off our taste buds. Ann provided excellent service and the chef stopped by our table. it is good to be dining in this smaller charming dining establishment once agai. Foodies will appreciate this food experience.

I loved it here! The customer service was 10/10 the tapas were 10/10, the drinks were 10/10, the ambiance was 10/10. There was jazz playing as well, my favorite. I highly recommend! We had a great experience and will be coming back

Wow, we loved the food and the attention to quality products and farm to table approach the Chef is achieving at this great hidden gem of a restaurant! The view of the water was the cherry on top, but the food is the real reason to go! Also the music was great. We will def be back the next time we are in town

First time ever there the manager was so nice. Bought my wife and I our first beer. We had a nice app. And sat outside on the breezeway. They had live music which was amazing. Interaction was just too on the line a little gem in Ft Pierce
Loved it. Great for an evening of unusually enjoyable taste treats. Highly recommended!

The service was quick and efficient. The specialty drinks were unique and refreshing. The tapas plates were tasty and eye catching. Parking is a little bit of a challenge but there is a large public lot by the pier which is a quick walk. Inside is air-conditioned and there was live music. All in all a great little quaint restaurant.

A Dining Epiphany at 121 Tapas on the Water: A Hidden Gem in Fort Pierce! Imagine strolling along the Indian River on a typical evening, the soothing sound of live music dancing on the air, intriguing your senses and beckoning you closer. This was how my wife and I first stumbled upon the charming 121 Tapas on the Water last week while enjoying gelato at the shop next door. As the melodies swept us up, we made a pact to return the following week to explore what this place had to offer - and oh, how it exceeded our wildest expectations! From the moment we stepped into 121 Tapas on the Water, we were greeted by an electrifying fusion of warm hospitality, heavenly food, and the soulful rhythm of great live music. This trifecta perfectly set the stage for what was to be a truly memorable evening. The experience began with Ann, the dynamic and attentive manager, who embraced us into this gastronomic voyage. The surprise of the night, however, was the unexpected arrival of Chef Jiggs at our table. Initially, we were taken aback by this passionate figure, enthusiastically narrating his journey from the Hawaiian islands to Fort Pierce, but it didn't take us long to realize - this was the man behind the magic! Chef Jiggs' unwavering dedication to hand-selecting locally-sourced, fresh ingredients daily was a testament to his culinary artistry. Operating a bustling kitchen that feeds a 44-seat restaurant, Jiggs' humble swagger is not merely for show; he unquestionably delivers on his promises. As a couple who abstain from alcohol, we were overjoyed when Ann rose to the challenge of crafting a delightful mocktail for us. The result was a tantalizing blueberry soda - an exquisite blend of blueberry-infused simple syrup, Perrier, fresh blueberries, and a citrus twist. It was so refreshingly delicious that I found myself ordering not one, not two, but three! Even as non-drinkers, we noticed that 121 Tapas on the water has a wine list that leaves most other establishments in the area desiring to be more like 121 when they grow up! Our culinary escapade started with a decadent charcuterie board and enticing antipasto skewers. Both were adorned with an array of cheeses, succulent meats, and an exceptionally flavorful pepper. Though similar, both were mouthwateringly delicious, but choosing one over the other could leave room to venture into more diverse offerings. The crowning jewel of our dining experience was undeniably the macadamia coconut crusted grouper, the day's special. Sourced locally that very morning, this lavish serving of fresh fish over a bed of delicious rice, accompanied by a side of crispy broccolini, was a flavor sensation that we will long cherish. The grand finale was a delightful cannoli presented by Ann, which provided a perfect sweet conclusion to our culinary adventure. Over two decades of summering in Fort Pierce has provided us with numerous dining experiences, but our night at 121 Tapas on the Water stands unrivaled. This establishment is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary voyage that guarantees unforgettable memories of exquisite food, stunning views, and warm hospitality. So, whether you're a resident or just passing through, make sure to give this hidden gem a visit. You're bound to fall in love, just as we did! Let's raise a glass (or a delicious blueberry soda) to many more magical evenings at 121 Tapas on the Water!

Stumbled across this place "getting lost" in downtown Fort Pierce. Staff was very accommodating. The food was on point and a great place of the beates path to just chill and have a beer and a couple bites. Everything we ordered to eat was good. The beet goat cheese was our favorite, just wished it had a bit more goat cheese. Will definitely be back.
