The food is outstanding!! I can't believe this restaurant wasn't busier as the food is amazing! A hidden gem in Traverse City.

Incredibly authentic and delicious tapas experience! We went for a special birthday dinner and focused our meal on tapas.There were two of us and we had the Bahia Board and added the chef cheese & chorizo, the Bravas, Albóndigas (meatballs), tortilla española (omelette), champiñones (mushrooms & chorizo), and the gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). It was a delightful meal and we couldn’t decide what we liked best! We definitely had more than enough food as the servings are a decent size and we had left overs. Awesome spot and can’t wait to come back!

Great cocktails. Wonderful servers and tapas. The mole sauce is reminiscent of Sa Fe. The meatball trio is delightful and meatballs soft and yummy. Try the Paloma shrub cocktail quite a surprise to the taste buds. A hidden spot in TC

Although this place was not busy when we arrived on a Saturday night around 8 they really blew us away with the tapas offerings. The Croquetas stood out with the mole sauce as well as the pancetta. Amazing flavors. Somewhat understaffed but nice experience.

My husband and I went with no expectations. We started with the Brussel sprouts… absolutely amazing. I had the ratatouille… unlike anything I have ever had before. My husband had the pork belly…. He is usually just a meat an potato guy… said it was one of the best things he has ever eaten. And then to top off the evening, we had the churros….. oh my goodness… they were over the top amazing! If you want an unique and amazing meal, try Bahia. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent birthday dinner and drinks as well as service and atmosphere. Queso de Capra, Croquetas, Ratatouille and Panceta de Certo were all devine! What more can you ask for?! Will definitely return to Traverse City, Michigan to dine here!

Not sure why this restaurant doesn’t get more traffic..this place is a hidden gem.

Ratatouille, Panceta de Cerdo, Champiñones con chorizo. Plenty for 2 people.

The Panceta de Cerdo had an incredible flavor combination of tart sliced apples and candied walnuts.

Ratatouille came as fried/breaded patty with over easy egg on top with roasted red pepper tomato sauce.

Champiñones con chorizo was incredible umami flavor and perfect amount of spice.

Finished off with dessert - crème brûlée and chocolate tart.

I did not enjoy this restaurant. I wanted to cancel but it was within 24 hours so I didn’t… They were severely understaffed, our table got a pitcher of sangria for four of us, and no one ever asked if we wanted a refill even though we ended up being there for nearly two hours. The food - we ordered a first round of tapas and planned to order more later, but they were so slow! We were starving and it was not satiating. We ordered more food for a second round and had planned to order entrees because it was so small but no one even asked by that point. I would maybe try this place again some day, but no way I would make a reservation again with such a restrictive cancellation policy when the service was so subpar.
