Excellent food! We had the veal + pork meatballs and arugula salad for appetizers. The flavor is incredible.

It’s about time TC had a tapas restaurant and this didn’t disappoint. If you’ve never had tapas or are intimidated by the menu, do not let that stop you. We had a party of four and had many of the tapas options and none disappointed. I highly recommend the goat cheese with honey and the pork belly. We will definitely be back to try more options.

Great place for tapas style meal in Traverse City. Taste and presentation are great. Drinks are good, plus non alcoholic options.

First Time Winner!! Tapas! What a great way to “sample” different types of food. Delicious and well presented. Good selections of wine and beers on tap. Service by Glen was outstanding. And try the Churros for dessert. Give the place a try!

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.

Nothing like it in TC. Due to the server shortage we were waited on by one of the owners. We went with a group of friends and ordered and ate what felt like everything a plate at a time. Strongly suggest their charcuterie board, Spanish crème brûlée and a sangria. The white wine, lemon, strawberry and basil sangria was refreshing. One of our dining companions had been to Spain and said the new flavors and dishes were spot on.

Welcome to Bahia home of Tapas and drinks. The female bartender makes amazing drinks, however she most likely does not know the golden rule. Never over ice the first drink that comes out to the table. Most likely not her fault as this usually is management.

Attention all foodies: nobody paid me to post this. The best food in Traverse City! Better than the Spanish Tapas that we had in Spain! An explosion of flavor in each bite! Thoughtfully crafted flavor pairings, delicious cocktails and five star service from our server Laura. We will certainly come back to TC just so we can dine here again.

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!

I guess the new thing is the microgreens the food was very good, very tastefully done. The Grenache was delicious although the Margaritas fell a little short. The tapas were beautiful and delicious.
