I highly enjoyed my pizza! I had the new cauliflower crust and it was awesome! Having a gluten allergy and attempting to find a restaurant where I can eat that offers GF choices and without cross contamination is difficult. I discovered Michaelangelo's Pizza and it absolutely made my day! That was the best pizza I have ever had. My husband liked the submarine sandwich also. Patrick, the manager is amazing and eager to please. The staff was nice. Thank you Patrick! We will be back.

What a find! The kindest staff and DELICIOUS burgers and onion rings — they even offer a gluten free bun. Afterwards we headed upstairs to catch a gorgeous sunset from the rooftop bar.

We ate there here on our last night at Atlantic Beach, food was cold, Ribs were expensive and extremely dry, garnished with Raw Vegetables that had no business in a supposed slow cooked item. Over priced steak that came on a bed of lettuce for no reason. Crab was decent. For those that are celiac like my wife, the fries are breaded and are NOT gluten free. Even though they reassured us twice they were. Highly overpriced for the quality of the food and service. This place is indeed ready for a Ramsey makeover.

The food here was so good that we went back the next night. The first night we had the chef special of mahi mahi. The fish was perfectly prepared and beautifully served. The second night we had the red drum fish. Again, just perfect. The staff is absolutely wonderful, from friendly and kind greeting at the front to wonderful wait service. My friend and I are gluten free and the salad offering was much appreciated as well as the tostones, which were the best I have had. Even better than the ones I had in Puerto Rico! Sitting on the pier the first night was wonderful. It was too windy the second evening but the view was just as nice with the huge window we were seated next to. I am looking forward to going back!

This was my first time dining at Bahia. First of all, I love the decor and atmosphere. Very cozy and a great beachy vibe. Robin was our server and she was amazing. She made wonderful recommendations, was super friendly and very attentive. She was also great with making suggestions for one of us that has a gluten allergy. The food was amazing. Our table had the wedge salad, flounder, scallops special, calamari and delicious custom cocktails. We will absolutely come here on our next visit.
