The breakfast served was fresh, expertly prepared, and exceptionally palatable. The establishment is rather compact, offering limited and closely arranged seating. The service provided was satisfactory. We experienced no waiting period upon our arrival, however, a queue had formed outside the premises as we departed.

The Paramount is a really nice place to have breakfast, with great retro vibes that make it feel fun and welcoming. The food was nice overall, although it could be even better with a bit more seasoning. The Mediterranean omelette was really good and definitely worth ordering. Service was friendly and fast, which is always a big plus, so kudos to the team for that. Overall, the experience was very good and it’s a breakfast spot I would definitely recommend.

Breakfast was great. We waited about 30 min to get in on a Saturday at 11a. Note that the restaurant is tight on space and if you're not seated, you're waiting outside. The seating was a little tight, but certainly acceptable. The Huevos rancheros were recommended when I asked and it was a quite tasty breakfast. A bit messy but that was not unexpected. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and the homefries were a nice departure from normal homefries - bigger chunks of potatoes with a crisp exterior. The pancake with fresh fruit was top notch. The fresh berries were indeed fresh and worth the splurge on a 3rd dish, as a desert of sorts.

The food and service were both excellent. The fries that came with the Chicken Wrap were especially fresh and delicious. We also had the Nutella Pancake which was an absolute delight. The line started outside and snaked around the sidewalk, requiring a wait of about 20 minutes for a table at 10 am on a Saturday. However, the line was far longer when we left an hour later. It seems they've changed seating procedures, as other reviews indicated placing an order beforehand. I experienced it the opposite way: one stands in line and waits, then takes a seat to order and eat.

This is a great place to go when you wants some brunch. The food was so good. Small place but has big flavors and great service. Love the quietness the ability to see your food from the kitchen. I was excited to eat. Atmosphere was great as well. Indoor and outdoor seating areas. This is a gem in the downtown area. Must go!
