Customer service is amazing. The waiting was not too long for three of us and the food was pretty fast. The iced lattes were OK. The place is cute and cozy with outdoor sitting available, perfect for the fall. read more

Had a really nice brunch experience at The Paramount! I know this place is pretty well known for its pancakes, so I was excited to try them. Honestly, they were just okay! Not bad by any means, but nothing particularly special compared to what I was expecting. The French toast, however, was amazing! Definitely much more impressive than the pancakes and something I'd recommend ordering. We also tried the burrata caprese toast, which was actually suggested by our server, and it ended up being such a pleasant surprise! It was absolutely delicious and easily my favorite dish of the entire meal. I probably wouldn't have thought to order it myself, so I'm really glad our server recommended it! Overall, the food was good, with a few dishes that really stood out. While the pancakes didn't quite live up to the hype for me, the French toast and especially the burrata caprese toast more than made up for it. I'd definitely come back and explore more of their menu. If you're visiting, don't overlook the savory options! read more

the paramount has been on my list due to its long history and location in beacon hill. i chose to eat outside on a gorgeous fall day and it was the perfect time of year to enjoy a brunch outside in beacon hill. bernie/bernadette was my server, she was sweet and helpful. i ordered coffee, a mediterranean omelette and a single slice of french toast. the mediterranean omelette was filled with veggies, but for some reason it just wasn't my favorite, maybe not enough seasoning. the sauce it comes with was a bit overpowering as well, i guesss trying to overcompensate. i didn't feel the omelette was very fluffy but it was stuffed with vegetables. i enjoyed the brioche french toast, although i was charged the same for a single as a small. at least they do have real maple syrup. mediterranean omelette 6/10 brioche french toast 8/10 coffee refills were not offered for a small cup at $4. the best thing about this breakfast was the seating outside. i'd maybe try their breakfast sandwiches to give them another shot, but i don't feel like i've been missing out on a secret gem. ambiance: 4.5/5 (outside) food: 3.5/5 drinks: 2/5 service: 4/5 the paramount: 3.2/5 read more

Food: none of it was good enough to write home about. I am not mad I ate here at all but would I rush back here no. Things tasted fresh and the waffle was the showstopper. Mimosas were super underwhelming personally which is surprising cause it's just OJ and champagne but whatever! Service: basic service nothing bad not amazing about it which is all I require I'm not looking to be like wow'd by service I go to restaurants to eat you feel me overall not bad! Ambience: We got way in the very back so ambience wasn't amazing read more

First of all the portions are huge and the food is mediocre. We ordered several apps and when they came out, it was an overwhelming amount of food. Later the waiter said he thought we ordered too much. Why not mention it to us then? However, the dinner went downhill after cockroaches came out in droves behind our son and ran up the wall towards the counter with all the food containers. The server proceeded killing them with a rag right in front of us. Apologized and brought our full bill to us. We didn't finish our food. Obviously. Oh and the bathroom had no soap in it. Disgusting place. read more

Ok menu, but one of the worst Negronis I've ever had. Not sure what they use but it's not the Negroni we all know and love which was weird. Overall not too bad but nothing to make me want to return. read more

For a dreary weekday morning, this place was packed; we got the last two top before a list started to form. I opted for the burrata avocado toast and it was decadent - from the sourdough bread to the egg, it was delicious and fresh. My husband opted for a breakfast sandwich and cleaned his plate. My latte was good. Service was incredibly quick. And the stacks of pancakes that kept going by our table looked incredible! read more

The Paramount - Wonderful breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place always has a line outside, but luckily we found the sweet spot and didn't have to wait too long. It's cozy inside with less than 20 tables and they are very close together. They offer a brunch menu so you could get breakfast or lunch depending on what you like. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Florentine which came on multigrain bread. I was a little skeptical about it coming on bread instead of an english muffin but I was proven wrong, it was so good!!! I loved mine. The vegan burger was pretty good but a little dry. The huevos rancheros weren't anything to write home about but good. We did feel rushed because of the line so the food came quick and they were quick to bring the bill over once they observed you were close to being done. I'd come back for the Eggs Benedict and their pancakes looked good. What we ordered: Eggs Benedict Florentine Huevos Rancheros Quinoa Black Bean Burger Hot Chocolate Iced Chai read more

While in Boston we were looking for a good place for breakfast while exploring the area. We stopped in at the Paramount. We were greeted by a friendly face and seated immediately even though they were busy. I ordered the breakfast plate with 2 eggs, home fries, turkey bacon, and toast. The food was fresh and hot. They have an open kitchen and the staff were on point. The kitchen staff were sending out plates as fast as I've ever seen especially for an open kitchen. Even though I wasn't asked what kind of toast I wanted, and the grain bread I received wouldn't have been my first choice it was delicious. My only regret was not ordering the S'mores pancakes as well. I was super full but those pancakes sounded phenomenal. Would definitely stop in here again for breakfast if I'm ever back in Boston. read more

Came in for some Brunch & let me start off by saying that this place is narrow. But there is seating outside in case you don't like narrow places. The food was great. I ordered a moscato and caramel and banana French toast. That indeed delicious, the host was very helpful and the food was delivered in a timely manner. This place was clean and well organized, I'll definitely make this place my stop next time I'm in Boston. Go Redsox. read more

I fear the food wasn't as good as expected it was basically more on the eggy + bland side I got a Mediterranean omelette- the sauce was not good. I think it's definitely overhyped. However the service was great and it's in such a cute area. I sat outside on the patio! read more

The Paramount - MEDITERRANEAN OMELETTE* - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I was craving pancakes and they delivered with a substantial stack of three large pancakes - honestly my friend and I probably should've shared it was so much food. I went with the s'mores option and my friend had the blueberry and she definitely made the better choice. The "smores" just had mini marshmallows (not melted), banana, and graham crackers - no chocolate! The yellowish sauce you see in the pics is apparently "chocolate Boston cream sauce" but it didn't taste like chocolate at all and wasn't very appetizing looking. The overall effect very dry. I wound up scraping off the "toppings" and just going with some reliable maple syrup. Service was great though and I liked the ambiance so I'd go back, just not for the s'mores pancakes. read more

Very cute neighborhood to grab breakfast/lunch, take a walk, and shop. It was a nice morning so we sat in the patio (big mistake). Food was decent and service was quick. The only issue we had were the yellow jacket bees/wasps that kept flying around us. We noticed the table next to us was dealing with the same issue. (We visited at the end of August). We ended up packing our food to go and eating it at the park nearby. Unfortunate but also didn't mind finishing our breakfast in the park. read more

We had been to the Paramount, for breakfast, and I fell in love with a French toast. So, we assumed the dinner food would be just as memorable... WRONG. I've never met a Bolognese I didn't like... Until now. Somehow, they managed to make a classic pasta dish, with rich, red meat, tangy tomato sauce, and salty cheese... Flavorless. I honestly thought I may have contracted Covid and lost my taste buds. So, I had my partner taste it too... Same response. All I can guess is that they made it with only ground beef, which is not what was advertised on the menu. The chef used almost no tomato sauce. Instead, they relied on heavy cream, which had very little flavor. Even the pasta was mushy and overcooked... so disappointing. The teriyaki stirfry was advertised as including carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, and peppers. We asked them to hold the peppers and assumed they would include extra vegetables or replace them with something else. Instead, they took away the peppers... And the carrots... Leaving us very little vegetables at all. THE DEAL: the Paramount is the place to be for brunch... but I would skip it for dinner! read more

The waiter was great, perhaps he was the manager for owner. For food we really wanted a light bite. I got one taco and hubby got a burger with coleslaw. When you sit down, they immediately bring over in housemade tortilla chips. So yummy and fresh. It comes with a very smooth Salsa type of sauce. Very nice touch since we were hungry. A nice menu, it is pricey, but given the location we expected that. We chose to eat inside, but there were are some nice tables outside. If you don't mind people walking by and seeing what you're eating. read more

Nice service, good food. It's a small place located in a great area. If you're visiting Beacon Hill, check it out. The price is great too.

Came here on Sunday around 12:30pm and the line was out the door, but only waited about 20 minutes. The inside is very cozy. I sat right by the cooking section, so it was so cute watching everything being cooked. My friend and I loved the French toast and paramount breakfast. Will come again! read more

This place was great! We were from out of town and this is where we went to breakfast with family. The service was absolutely phenomenal from the top down. We had the huevos rancheros and the burrata caprese sunrise toast. Mine was the clear winner and was absolutely fantastic! As a side note: these may have been the best breakfast potatoes I have ever had. Crispy, well seasoned, tasty! There's a lot of tables outside and some inside. We sat outside. Can't comment on parking as we walked there. Please note we got there early and it was starting to get busy but by the time we were done there was a HUGE line. Will absolutely return when we are back in town. read more

My friend and I had lunch together on Friday afternoon at the Paramount and we loved it! We sat outside and liked how the umbrellas provided a lot of shade. It is a little cramped (both inside and outside) so keep this in mind if you like a lot of room. I tried the Rose Bellini and my friend had the Agave Mango Peach Spritz. We both really enjoyed our drinks - the flavor combinations were delicious and perfect for a summer lunch. To eat, I had the Paramount Burger without onion rings and I added avocado. I ordered it medium and it came exactly as I'd asked. This burger was absolutely wonderful. Juicy, flavorful, tons of avocado, and crispy bacon. I was so pleased. My friend ordered the Burrata Caprese Sunrise Toast and she was equally happy. It looked divine and she cleared the plate. The service was great and the prices are pretty standard for Boston. It's a fun spot to grab a bite if you're around the Boston Commons. We also had no issue finding parking right on the street. We'll certainly be returning! read more

After seeing so many amazing reviews, I was disappointed in my experience here. Wasn't terrible, wasn't amazing. Staff was great I have to say, but the food was kinda just that. Nothing that stood out, we tried 4 different breakfast items. The potatoes were very over cooked, not a huge amount of flavor. Definitely a small town, cute cafe vibe. Worth a try. Maybe just an off day, or we didn't happen to order the things everyone loves. read more

I ordered the seasonal red sangria to start with and in the summer heat it was exactly what I needed. A little too sparkly for my taste but the mix of flavors was just right. For my entree, I ordered the huevos rancheros. The dish was good, but it lacked the spice that I would expect from a Mexican breakfast staple. The sauce was especially disappointing, I could not discern much flavor from it. The service was great! They got us in and out fairly quickly. read more

Very good overall. I stopped in for a late breakfast and was met with quick, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, and liked them as it was exactly as expected. The staff kept everything moving efficiently without making it feel rushed. There was plenty of indoor seating, and the outdoor tables looked like a great option on a nicer day. It was raining when I visited, but the cozy vibe inside made up for it. The space has a casual, diner-style feel that still fits in well with the Beacon Hill and Back Bay neighborhoods. It is clean, classic, and welcoming. This spot has a good reputation for breakfast and brunch, and I can see why. It is not fancy, but it is consistent, dependable, and perfect for casual meals. I would come back any time, whether solo or meeting a friend. It is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. read more

After cheering on my friends at their half marathon, we headed straight to The Paramount to fill up on their pancakes. They just brought out their outdoor seating for the summer, which made the line move faster than expected--but heads up if you've never been: they will not seat you until your full party is there. We loaded up on the classic stack of pancakes and I also grabbed the berry parfait which was surprisingly light. They have an extension brunch menu that'd I'd recommend for anyone to try! read more

Had the shrimp scampi, just as it comes, & it was fabulous. Definitely, above expectations, but I'm u sure what I was expecting. The shrimp were plump, cooked perfectly, & came in abundance. The seasonings were spot on. I wish Florida had seafood like Boston. We came before a mad dinner rush & after the breakfast/lunch rushes, & almost had the place to ourselves. Quaint, very warm (yes, it was cold out, but I had to stand in the doorway for a few minutes), & the service was wonderful. Very attentive, but not overbearing. My son cleared his plate. Thank you for a beautiful evening. read more

Great service, busy at noon but we got a table quickly. A man saw us looking at our map suggested The Paramount and we are so glad he did! The burger and steak sandwich were both excellent.

Sunday morning breakfast on beacon hill. The location is great, near parks and hotels on lovely Charles street in beacon hill. The restaurant is very small and the tables are few and tightly packed in. There was a 15 minute wait outside because this place is so popular. The food: Breakfast Sandwich: very good and a large sandwich packed with eggs, bacon, cheese. Burrata capresse sunrise toast: nice sized portion on toasty bread. Kind of like a eggs benny with a chunk of burrata on the side. Mediterranean omelette: this was the best. A delicious omelette stuffed with artichokes, Kalamata olives and other veggies. It was delicious. Came topped with a weird tasting pink sauce that didn't enhance the flavor. The coffee was good and so was the service. But it was very crowded and difficult to move around since the place is do small. I still recommend a try. read more

Small, old-timey breakfast spot. No reservations but there was almost no wait and orders came out pretty quickly. Limoncello Mimosa 9/10 - Taste more like a lemon drop and was fairly strong. Irish Coffee 7/10 - Good, but not remarkable. It was mostly whipped cream. Brioche French Toast 7.5/10 - Tastes amazing but it was soooooo thick! Couldn't finish all three pieces. Buttermilk Pancakes 7.5/10 - Same as the French toast, it was good but so freaking thick. I had to use sooooooo much syrup and I'm not a syrup girl. Home Fries 5/10 - At this point I was wondering if the theme was thick. These were cut so big it was crazy. They were seasoned well but dry. Please cut smaller! Eggs ???? - My gf got hers fried hard and loved them. I got mine "scrambled" w/ cheese and hated it - it tasted like they fried mine and just threw two slices of cheese on top. So if you liked fried eggs you should enjoy these. read more
