Mirabel

Bar Burgers Comfort Food Snacks & Treats

Review Summary

Overall, T-O Mirabel - Putting Social offers a lively atmosphere with delicious food and attentive service, and a rooftop mini golf experience that many guests find to be a standout for families and groups. The venue is described as beautiful, clean, and versatile, with a range of activities, a bar, good music, and a vibe suited for parties, corporate events, or casual outings. The staff are repeatedly praised for friendliness and helpfulness, especially with the bar service and coordinating moments like music and cake, though some visitors note slower service when busy, occasional gaps in attention, and understaffing during peak times. The mini golf on the roof is fun and engaging, with a not-too-difficult course, but some reviews mention the basic simulator quality and occasional equipment issues. Prices are often described as high, shaded areas are limited on the terrace in summer, and mosquitoes can be bothersome, which some guests mention as reasons not to return in hot weather. Access and parking can be tricky, with limited front parking and the need to use an elevator to reach the terrace. Despite these concerns, the overall impression is that it is a memorable, enjoyable spot to spend a night out, with many guests expressing a desire to return.View restaurant profile
