My boyfriend and I are breakfast fanatics. We love to try new spots especially when out of town. This place appeals as a cute, small diner in Beacon Hill. Food tasted great! But I must say, $6 for a 3 pieces of bacon is a bit steep and coffee could be refilled a little more frequently. Still, I'd say it's worth a try for visitors and I would see us visiting often if we were local read more

I was walking around Beacon Hill checking out the sites and decided to drop by for breakfast. This place is a cute restaurant and busy. Good timing that I was lucky to get a seat right away. ( maybe because I was dining alone) Anyway my meal was delicious. read more

Today and the last time was not a good experience. Only one staff, Niel, was pleasant in any way. Both times we felt unwanted. The service waitress grabbed my coffee by the rim (serious turn off from a person who has an immune problem). Both of our orders were incorrect. There was problems with communication. I came here a long time ago (1970s). Things in recent years have been better, the snobbish attitude has to go read more

Our new favorite brunch spot, I'm still drooling over their Greek Mediterranean omelette. Small little hole in the wall place that more often then not has at least a 20 minute wait, but is always worth it. This review is for their BRUNCH menu, I have not tried their dinner menu and can only speak for the breakfast. I recommend the banana pancakes (available as a single or triple). Plenty of little shops to pop in to near by while waiting for a table, we will definitely be back. read more

The Paramount - Chorizo omlet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

For BRUNCH, this place is excellent - good prices for the area and homemade food that they make right in front of you (huge bonus). The service is friendly. I'd get here early because it can get busy, which adds to the ambiance. It's a unique mash-up of "beacon hill" and retro/alternative diner vibe. Great stuff. I would definitely be sure to try some of their more elaborate dishes - they pack a bit more flavor than the standard breakfast options. read more

Ordered the Mediterranean Omelette and had no clue where they were headed with this omelette's palate-- it was dry and kind of gross tasting. I only ordered this because it's one of the few things that was friendly to my dietary restrictions. I usually box food I don't finish but I didn't even bother with this. The home fries tasted old - they had that fridge taste. We also ordered one of the banana French toasts. It was good tasting but rather very small in portion. 2 stars because at least the staff was friendly, or else the food would have earned 1 star. It's a casual place, very small but we're also to make place for 6 of us. read more

Go where the people eat! Was visiting Beacon Hill and the doorman at our hotel said to check out The Paramount. So we did and it was a hearty breakfast that provided a lot for a good price. Best of all the food hit the spot! We had to wait a bit to be seated as the restaurant is on the smaller side but usually where there is a wait there is good food and so was the case here. Luckily, we arrived at the right time during the busy holidays so we didn't have to wait too long for a table to open up. The service was outstanding. Never wanted for refills or condiments. Oh and the grilled potatoes were completely yummy! It was hard to choose between pancakes and eggs but I went with the eggs to get these potatoes! Would return if I lived there. read more

This is a very cute little breakfast spot in Beacon Hill. It was cozy and quaint. The staff was friendly, fast and efficient but the food was lacking, in my opinion. My wife got the Belgian waffle and said it was delicious, but my breakfast sandwich was not good. First off, they forgot the cheese (I understand mistakes happen) but it certainly changed the flavor profile. The sandwich was on sourdough toast, which was completely dried out. My home fries tasted very old and stale, lacked spice and flavor, and they were lukewarm. From the outside this place looks great, but, order carefully. And the coffee... Wow, that was some pretty bad coffee read more

Stopped here for lunch while exploring Boston with my fiance. We ate outside in their beautiful little outdoor seating area. Service was a bit slow to get started, but eventually things got going. It may have been since it was the final hour or two for them for the day (they're a brunch place). We both had sandwiches which were pretty good. Not a bad place to stop when in the area. read more

Food was very good quality! I shared 2 dishes- the lobster ravioli and the frutti di mare! And they gave a decent portion of seafood and could definitely tell it was fresh and good quality. Im giving 3 stars though because the frutti di mare became extremely salty at the bottom and was not edible for the bottom half of the plate, but the top half was excellent! read more

Overall I'd give my experience at The Paramount a 3.5, although I'm bumping it up to 4 since they have plant-based options and I really enjoyed my drink! My sister and I were wandering around Beacon Hill at dinner time and decided to give The Paramount a shot. I wanted to sit outside (a more pleasant ambiance) although she was overheating so we snagged a table in the medium-small interior. For drinks I wanted a refreshing options, so I chose the Rosé Pomegranate Paloma--prosecco, tequila reposado, cordial, natural citrus flavor ($13). It had Aperol Spritz vibes, but was better in my opinion. After going back and forth between a few options I ordered The Roasted Buddha Bowl for my meal, which includes crispy fried tofu, baby spinach, roasted beets, zucchini, cauliflower, asparagus, chickpeas, avocado, toasted peanuts, sesame seeds, and a white balsamic lemon vinaigrette ($19). I loved certain components of this bowl. The crispy tofu was yum, as was the cauliflower. It was a bit heavily dressed for my taste, so ask for light dressing if you also prefer less. Overall happy with the healthy(ish) option though! Service was decent, no complaints there. If you're in the area and want a casual bite with a variety of meal options, The Paramount is worth considering. read more

We recented visited The Paramount for a pre-theater dinner on a beautiful Saturday evening. The outdoor tables were in high demand, so we opted to be seated promptly inside. First of all, I love the neighborhood vibe of The Paramount. Despite the crowds on Charles St. and proximity to the Public Garden and Boston Common, this always feels more like a place for locals than tourists. The old classic diner tables feel a bit out of place for a Saturday night, but the casual atmosphere and mid-range prices are a welcome change from many of the area restaurants. On the decadent side of spectrum, we tried the grilled bavette steak frite, which was a hearty portion of steak that we wished was a bit more tender, but it was decent. Similarly, the truffle parmesan French fries were flavorful, but clumped together in a way that made them a little soggy, rather than crispy. Some improvements on the textures would have made this dish great, but it was still enjoyable - and very filling. There are lighter options too, and the Buddha Bowl was a nice variety of vegetables and proteins. It had been 24 years since we last dined at The Paramount...the number of Boston restaurants that have come and gone in that timespan is staggering, so clearly they are consistently pleasing their loyal patrons. read more

We sat outside cause it had a little decorated area that is cute. The food was ok at best. The waitress was kind but the food took a long time, and wasn't my favorite. We had the caprese which was ok, and then I had the bolognese which was also just ok. Maybe we ordered the wrong things on the menu? read more

Stopped in for a weekday breakfast and was pleasantly surprised. The bagel sandwich was fresh and packed with flavor, and the home fries were crispy and well-seasoned. I also tried the pancakes -- fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. The line was a bit slow, but the food made up for it. Would definitely return for brunch. read more

Such a fun find in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood. While the past may have required ordering before being seated, the plan these days is to wait in line at the door, be seated by the wait staff, then order. Space is premium, service is lightning fast, open concept kitchen allows wait staff to keep an eye on what's coming up from the kitchen while they are serving tables. The food was superb!!! read more

Review for brunch! I've been to the paramount twice thus far and it's always been a good, cute brunch spot. It's smaller on the inside, but they do pull out tables outdoors during the better weathered seasons. I believe it's also a stop of the "haunted ghost tours of Boston", so that's fun. The restaurant gets packed due to its limited capacity seating, but I've never had a long wait. The food is efficiently brought out after ordering as well, so I'd say service time is generally good. The menu has a variety of wraps, bowls, French toast and pancakes. I enjoy the shakshuka with eggs, and the French toast is their popular dish! The coffee menu is good as well. Overall, a yummy and quick brunch for under $30/person for a meal and coffee isn't too shabby. I recommend this restaurant! read more

Recently visited this place for a weekend brunch. They had amazing vegetarian options. Their vegan bean quinoa burger is a must try and so is their buttermilk pancakes. I totally loved their patio with beautiful flowers by the side made a good ambiance. The service was quick with almost not waiting for a long I remember! Staff was friendly. Kudus to the team for making it a good experience read more

We picked this place to have breakfast since we liked the menu and it was close to our hotel. 8:45 on Friday morning, we walk in and our waiter was so nasty and being very dry and barely want to answer any of my questions! The person behind the counter was frowning and very rude as well. The food was decent but the experience was terrible! I would beverage go back there. They should treat their customers better! What a horrible experience! read more

The neighborhood is great. Very picturesque. The food good. Nothing to write home about. The potato's on each plate were served cold and not flavorful. If you are looking for home fries , this isn't that at all. The glass of water was dirty. The latte very good. The food again was very average and basic dinner food. I must admit the service was exceptional. Everyone was warm friendly and inviting. But again. I would not return. Hard to park here and very average food. read more

I came to this restaurant for lunch during my last visit to Boston because it was recommended by someone at the hotel where we were staying. We wanted to sit outside since the weather was nice but there was no wait if we stayed inside, so we decided to take a table next to the kitchen. It was Sunday morning and it was crowded so we were pleased by the no waiting time. The menu had many brunch options including eggs, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches and a couple healthy options with oatmeal and yogurt. The food came out fairly quickly, I had a breakfast sandwich which was really good. We also ordered the Mediterranean bowl which was OK but nothing too special. The experience overall was good but the only reason they are not getting five stars is because I ordered mustard and they brought it without saying it had an extra cost. Not sure if this is standard in Boston, but the waitress should have told me the price before bringing a small side of mustard. read more

The food was just okay, nothing outstanding but not too gross either. The service was pretty terrible though. Not one person seemed to be happy to be there. Our waiter only came up to us at the beginning to ask what we wanted and then never checked in on us once, unless we had to flag her down. Additionally, our french toast sat under the heat lamp for so long it became hard as a rock. They only noticed it was missing from our table because we pointed it out to them and they brought it over and only asked "do you want it still?" Just very unprofessional and unwelcoming. Will not be back read more

Great little brunch spot in beacon hill. We came on a Saturday around 9am and we're lucky to snag a spot on the patio almost immediately. The line formed pretty fast after we arrived. The food was good, I had the breakfast sandi and my husband got the brioche French toast. Both were delicious! The potatoes were not good tho, they kind of tasted like they were old/went bad read more

Solid brunch spot on Beacon Hill! I dreaaaaam about their pancakes ugh. Friendly wait staff that leave you alone to enjoy your meal and a good relaxed environment. You can tell people come here for the food. Came for brunch and the restaurant was a little full but we were seated right away. The wait staff was super nice and they didn't rush us to order so we got to explore the menu. Settled on two things: - Buttermilk pancakes with Strawberry add-ons - Buffalo chicken wrap that came with fries Everything is made fresh to order, at first when they brought the pancakes, they forgot the strawberry's but they quickly fixed it/added them when I pointed it out. The pancakes were dusted with confectioners sugar. It was so fluffy and moist, cooked perfectly too. The fresh strawberries were coated in a simple syrup that didn't take away from their flavor. The combination itself was soooo good, the buttery pancakes with the fresh subtle tang from the strawberries, ugh, amazing. The Buffalo chicken wrap was also pretty decent. It was a simple wrap with fresh ingredients, wasn't my favorite but it was pretty good if you like Buffalo chicken and blue cheese. It also came with fries that had the perfect amount of crisp to them. I kind of wish they came with more fries since it seemed to be lacking (quantity wise). Overall 5 stars, would recommend checking them out! The menu has so many options and there's wine too. The food was so flavorful and fresh, will come back again whenever I get the chance. read more

Walked in and wasn't greeted. Felt like the staff thought I was a transient or something. No smiles and was hesitant to talk to me. I wanted to place an order to go. When I got a hold of someone they asked what did I want and I had to ask for a menu because it was my first time there. It wasn't until I paid did the person who took my order relax. I ordered pancakes, eggs and potatoes. I told them i would be back to collect my order because they quoted 10 minutes. When I came back the waitress stood right in front of me and sat the bag on the counter instead of handing my the order. Mind you there was nothing between us but the counter to the left of me. The pancakes were dry until I ate the middle and the egg and potatoes were normal diner food. There was only a few open seats in the inside from what I could tell but outdoor had a good amount of open seats. Spent about $24 read more
