Took more money than what was on the bill, about $20 too much... unfortunately didn't save my copy of the receipt so have no way to get back what they stole. The drinks were really bad, 12$ for cheap juice with no taste of the alcohol. The food was okay. A bit boring treatment.

We happened to walk past this place and thought the food looked good, so decided to have brunch there.

We were lucky to find a table available as by the time our food arrived there was a queue forming.

We had waffles and pancakes, as it was supposed to just hold us until lunch. Suffice to say that the portions were so huge that we did not eat until the evening.

Great atmosphere, friendly service, and good food.

The winter salad was delicious, even though I couldn’t quite figure out the ingredients. The beautiful presentation of the cocktails was impressive, and the apple and cherry pie with ice cream for dessert was the highlight—absolutely top-notch!

I have no idea why this place is on every must go-to breakfast lists. The food was meh. Not great but not bad. The potatoes were over seasoned, the bagel bread had zero flavor, and the caramel sauce was actually kind of gross.

Beyond awful experience.

Went in the weekend before the pandemic started (all the way back in March of 2020)!

When we walked in, there was a couple
CHANGING THEIR BABY ON A DINING ROOM TABLE...in the middle of the restaurant! Directly in the pubic dining area used by all guests!!!!

From there, things only got worse. (And I want to be clearly, one else was around for most our dining experience and they took so long that by the time we got out, it was nearly 9:00pm.)

Our server messed-up our orders (twice) and then the chefs got mad us despite us not once being rude and it solely being the fault of the waitstaff! We were direct, but also very respectful.

(Even at the end, they even forgot to give us our change back and we had to wait 25 minutes just to get it because our waitress had assumed that we had given them an 85% tip!)

Seriously, we asked for basic substitutions such as “no bacon” & “no beans”, and yet, they gave the wrong orders twice in a row and then had the audacity to get at us while openly handing us orders that they knew were incorrect!

Plus, I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning from the chicken that they quickly "re-cooked for me." (And just be clear, I ordered the nachos without beans, but it came with beans; I very politely returned it, and they rushed the heck of out it.)

The head "chef" literally gave me death glares and threatened me, and kept treating me like I was being rude to his beloved young female server, (who, by the way, he was definitely seeing)!

The guy broke numerous laws pertaining to basic food safety and knowingly gave me and my friend undercooked & cross-contaminated food and which he prepared openly directly in front of our faces. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN!!!!

The Paramount delivers on par, not below, nor above. Friendly and tentative staff and food as expected. We were not very hungry so we shared a BLT (a bit too soggy to us compared to what we are used to.....). For drinks we had a lager from the Boston area and agave mango peach spritz, they were good. I can recommend this place if you are in the neighborhood but obviously not a destination restaurant.
