UPDATE - April 21, 2011
The bad reviews are misleading. I went back to visit Juan at the Glenwood location last night and it was phenomenal. Whatever issues the restaurant had when they first moved to the downtown location have clearly been resolved. I was blown away by every dish, including the ceviche, the cheese bread, croquettes with plaintains, pork rind and antelope meat, the piquillo peppers and an incredible creme de catalan for dessert. The wine and coffee were divine. Totally worth the price given the quality and obvious passion for food.

The glowing reviews are true; Tasca Brava really does deliver an unparalled Spanish dining experience. I called to confirm that the restaurant is shutting down, and Juan says that Tuesday, April 29 will be the last night of serving food in its current location. He intends to re-open doors in a different location, but did not say where or when. Let's show our support.
Pros: Amazing food and service
