I was a regular customer @ the previous restaurant in the same location (Bistro 607) and it was a big favorite. We didn't go as much as I would have liked, but every time was a wonderful experience. Great food, great service, wonderful intimate atmosphere, nice music, etc. I was VERY disappointed when I went to try Tasca Brava. I had heard the food was still amazing, but it was NOT. It was mediocre at best, overpriced and small portions (even for tapas). I tried 3 different white wines by the glass and they were all disgusting, sweet and bland. I finally went for a rioja and it was decent, but definitely not worth $10. My husband had the sangria and could not choke it down. It tasted like cooking wine and fruit juice :( We had high hopes because we had heard that it was authentic Spanish and several years ago we had an opportunity to travel in Spain and were delighted w/ the food. We did like the gazpacho, but everything else was VERY so-so. The worst part was our waiter was very insistant that we have dessert. We split the traditional flan and it was completely tasteless! The atmosphere is NOT romantic, it's loud and so is the music. RIP Bistro 607
Pros: location-it's near everything on Glenwood South
Cons: Service, Music, Atmosphere, Wine
