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!

My husband are up here for our one year anniversary. It has been very hard to find a restaurant that serves duck breast. We stumbled upon this one and decided to stay because DUCK! We are so glad we did because it was FANTASTIC!!!! Not only were they serving duck breast, but they had an amazing steak dinner AND our favorite wine, Bonanza. We had the Prawns for an appetizer— you MUST get them. Perfectly seasoned with butter and garlic #chefskiss ? Our server even gave us churros on the house for our anniversary! Love this place and considering going back for night #2!Dietary restrictions: Nut allergy
Very poor service. Reservation for 1:15 hrs. We were on time. Waited quite a bit for our server to attend. Very personable. Took our drink and appetizer orders and we had our appetizers in 25 minutes. It’s now 20:45 and we still haven’t seen our main courses. Party of 5. Only 2 other tables of 2 in the restaurant.wouldn’t rush back here.Update: when the food finally arrived it was very good!

Charming interior, lovely service, outstanding food! 8 of us came to celebrate a birthday. First time at Bahia for all of us. We worked our way through almost all the various tapas plates. Each one was excellent which surprised us all. The mussels were excellent, we kept the remaining broth for dipping bread. The charcuterie board was yummy and they kept us supplied with bread to share. Brussels were amazing, and I generally dislike Brussels. The pork belly, mushrooms, ... I could go on and on. And we really appreciated the fun owner that served us. We were more than full at the end and very pleased overall.

Glen served us at the bar and we loved him! The craft cocktails were incredible and every single tapa was utterly delicious. The general manager was super friendly as well, though I didn't catch her name. I can't wait to return!

A new favorite. We had the Croquetas, Mejillones, and Queso de Cabra. They are a delicious treat. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. We can’t wait to go back.

My new favorite spot. The tapas are fantastic, the duck entree was amazing and the Conquista is by far my favorite cocktail in Travers City. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful... make a reservation for a window high top if you can, its such a fun spot for people watching!
