Bahia

This was a very nice place with a great staff who were kind and they knew what they were doing. They unique selection of mixed drinks, beers and wines. Portion sizes are big enough to share or have to take home. Our waitress, Chelsea, was very helpful and warned us that they were out of lamb and the 2 items we ordered would probably taste the same because it would have had the same meat because of it. Great staff, great drinks and great environment

Bahia is a breath of fresh air to an otherwise long stagnant and, frankly, boring selection of food options downtown in years past. This was my first time home in 5 years and I was pleasantly surprised with the downtown food scene now. We came through for drinks just as Chelsea, the bartender, was about to close up. But she instead graciously welcomed us in to sit at her bar and made us fantastic cocktails and was super friendly and welcoming. She also played some dope hip-hop for us while we chatted with her. Having lived in Seattle for the last decade, excellent food options are in no short supply. So, while we did not have the opportunity to try the food that night, I can say that a quick survey of the menu surprised me. Many dishes that I would never expect to find in TC, they have literally brought to the table. I was very intrigued by the whole experience and can’t wait to visit home again and try everything on the menu. People of TC! Support your local businesses! Support Bahia. They’re great!!!

The food, true Spanish cuisine was outstanding. The drinks and the food are amazing. So flavorful and definitely out of the ordinary. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
If you new to the area this is a must stop. We are locals and we will be back.
A real gem.

We had a GREAT time at Bahia! Our food was delicious and came out in a timely manner. I was impressed with their extensive beer list, and found a great mix of local, foreign, and domestic beers. I ordered the Salmon and my Fiancé ordered the scallops and we shared. It was a great ‘appetizer’/‘before dinner’ experience for our date night. The owner Tim even came out a few times and chatted with us, which was pretty cool. We will definitely be telling our friends about this new spot! 👌🏻

Absolutely divine! We tried everything on the menu except the salmon & cod dish! I wish our group saved room for those last two remaining plates! The owner made us feel welcome & checked in with us more than once! Bahia will now be on our short list of favorites in Traverse City! Well done Bahia! Cheers 🥂
