Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We found this place at lunchtime after looking at other places that were full or shut. It was perfect. We had a delicious cocktail and some very tasty tapas which was just what we fancied. After seeing a gig that evening we took our friends...back here for some more cocktails and dancing. We met Alex at lunchtime who was very lovely and later on was the DJ. We shall definitely return.More

What a great find for tapas. Limited menu but the dishes we had were really nice. The owner is so nice, well I think it was the owner who served us. So very friendly and chatty. The restaurant is shabby chic and has lots of...personality with wooden walls and quirky decor. I loved it and will defo be back. The cocktails are so nice!!More

Liked the look of the menu- not extensive but enough on it for some variety so we booked a table and so glad we did!! Food was delicious, plenty of flavour and portion sizes for the tapas were good without being too much! Service was...excellent- speedy and not overly fussy. We also got chatting to the owner (I think) who was friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. The free birthday shot for my wife was an added bonus!!!More

What a great little friendly place this is! My gf and I just came for drinks (already eaten) - but will certainly try the food next time. Such a great atmosphere. One of the customers was so impressed with the Chirizo - that he said...it made him want to dance?! I think I'll be ordering the 'Dancing Chirizo' next time! Great vibe... at 21:30 the music ramps up and Laura showed off her Salsa dancing and persuaded others to join. A really good night. Will certainly be back.More

Four of us went last night and had an amazing time. We had reserved a table to make sure we had a seat. The cocktails were delicious and reasonably priced. The music is what made the evening. Everyone was so friendly and I even learned...some latino moves. Saved this place as one of my favourites. I had the biggest smile on my face all night enjoyed myself so much.More

Amazing food absolutely on the spot of being South American Latin tastes, to die for cocktails and great prices the best place for pre food and drinks, the chef is from Brazil so definitely knows his stuff. I will be back here again very soon...and I can’t wait. Ps. The Margarita is made with real limes and is the best in Norwich.More

We had booked a table at Revolution and if was so awful we left. We were looking for somewhere to eat that would cater for a gluten and dairy intolerance. We wandered past Copa Cubana and there was a lovely smiling lady outside of the...restaurant who we asked about the above. The lady explained that her husband was the chef and had cooked for her when she was gluten and dairy intolerant and that we would be looked after, and we were. The cocktails were fabulous and the food really good. We were made to feel very comfortable and really well looked after. A really lovely evening. Thank you all so much.More

Excellent cocktails and tapas, friendly and attentive staff and fabulous Salsa lessons. A great venue. Decor and TV loop takes you away to sun and sea. Highly recommended.

Awesome salsa classes! Laura and Matt are such good teachers; each week we learn something new and I walk away feeling more confident. I love that the classes are in small groups and we move at an achievable pace each week. I always leave class...feeling so energized and upbeat; I'm onto my 3rd course now and can't wait to learn more! Highly recommend learning salsa here 💃More

Three of us ate in the new restaurant upstairs. The decor is great, the tapas was delicious and the staff were all really friendly. Also good value and best of all, it is not a chain. Recommended
