The Paramount is a diner-style restaurant in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of downtown Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Situated at 44 Charles Street, it was established in 1937.[2] It is owned by Michael Bissanti, Michael Conlon and Joe Greene, three college friends from La Salle Academy in New York City.[3][4]
The restaurant has a policy by which no patron, or a member of a patron's party, may occupy a table until their food is ready. It was implemented to ensure that other patrons, more often than not, can find a table when their food is ready.[1][4]
In 2015, the restaurant was sued after employees claimed they were underpaid for overtime worked.[5]
A second location was opened at 667 East Broadway in South Boston in December 2011.[6][7]
The restaurant won the Best of Boston "Best Beacon Hill Restaurant" award in 2009.[8]
