Located in Beacon Hill, the Paramount is a typical diner that serves lunch and dinner. The atmosphere is casual without a lot of fancy décor. For the dinner crowd, things get a little dressier as table cloths and candlelight give the place a more intimate atmosphere. The food served here could be described as typical American with pastas, stir-fries, ribs, burgers, sandwiches and omelets among the offerings. Comfort food like meatloaf and grilled cheese are also menu standards. The Spinach Ricotta Ravioli entrée is a favorite. Alcohol is served.

There isn't much in the way of atmosphere here; many people take their orders to go.
