Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere BUT...I'm not one to EVER complain unless it is absolutely warranted. Our waiter was so disrespectful and unpleasant. He kept rolling his eyes at us and making hand motions for us to leave and started removing things off our table trying to get us to leave so that he could seat a new reservation. We had only been there for an hour and five minutes with a table of six. They took their famous beans out of their beans and rice menu option and the rice was very undercooked.

Perfect location in Atlantic Beach NC! Great atmosphere but a bit disappointed that their online menu isn't the current menu. Very limited selection for lunch but overall we enjoyed it and would go back to try dinner!

Very nice dinner experience! We had reservations and our waitress, Shashel was great! Appetizers were calamari and their delicious bread. Husband had the lamb chops feature, I had fish/snapper tacos with delicious rice. Others in our party had steak, salad. Great time!

Bland and flavorless food small portions with nice atmosphere, I guess that's what you pay for. Friendly staff but the food taste definitely does not make up for it. I had the wings appetizer and flounder. The most expensive and worst meal at AB.

Went off season quickly seated! Only two, owner gave up his seats! Food was perfect! Both of us had the Caesar salad, hers with shrimp, mine with crab cake, both delicious!

Great staff and food. Played "tourist" and popped over to Atlantic Beach on Sunday to enjoy the beach and have lunch. Bartender was friendly and service was good! Food and drinks - delicious! Will do this more often before the real tourists return!

Porch dining was excellent. The food awesome. Atmosphere was great as well. Craft cocktails were wonderful.
Going to Bahia on New Years Eve for us was spur of the moment, but such a great call! Every employee was so nice, the service was amazing, and the food was ?? so great! We were a little under dressed, did not have a reservation but received such warm welcomes and such great service! Thank you so much to our main bartender, Kendall! She's awesome! The other one was pretty great too, he was making us laugh a lot! We will be back!!!

Great food. I went there with family members. I had scallops, which were perfect. We also tried the flatbread and the grouper. Everything was delicious. Also, the service was excellent.

Great place for drinks and lunch. Fish tacos, both fried and grilled, were delicious. I loved the fresh salad and rice/beans that came with the mahi mahi. That adult grilled cheese is worth coming back for! Just what my hangover needed. Not to mention the Bloody Mary and rum drink. This is a regular stop for drinks on the patio.

We had enjoyed having drinks on the deck of Bahia previously, nice though no ocean view. So we recommended it to out-of-town friends for dinner. An embarrassing decision! The manager was obviously irritated about our reservation error, changing four to six, although there were only a few people seated that early. We finally were seated outside, our preference anyway, but made to feel we were an imposition, briefly sharing one drink menu. A $4 extra charge for “rocks” confirms we will Never go there again or recommend it to anyone! I immediately made a reservation across the street at a fine oceanfront restaurant, The Crab’s Claw. The service and food there were Excellent!

We were really looking forward to coming to eat here - unfortunately made an error on the number of guests for the reservation. The manager had an off-putting attitude about trying to seat 6 versus 4; we were not argumentative at all. There wasn't any customer service, and it was obvious he felt put out. They offered to seat us outside with grouped tables which we accepted. As we were discussing another local option, the manager said we shouldn't go to the other place, it would be a bad experience. We had drinks - were charged $4 for large ice blocks in whiskey on the 'rocks,' bill noted a $4 'rocks' charge. The experience was not a good one, no idea if he was just having a bad night. The staff was much better. The other restaurant, The Crab's Claw, was delicious and very customer service oriented.
