Being new to the area, Paramount was recommended by my parents but I was surprised and a little wary based on the 3 star rating on Yelp. The atmosphere is quite nice upon first arrival. As a mother of a toddler, being told there was a separate play area...YES!! The play area was similar to McDonald's (but with better food). I liked that families with kids were in a separate side of the restaurant so we aren't disturbing parties without screaming/crying kids.Being a vegetarian, I will limit my comments to the falafel wrap and various dips. Everything was freshly made and very flavorful. The coffee (cafe latte) was really good with a touch of cinnamon. Previous comments criticized the service but we have 5 star servers. They visited us numerous times made sure we had water, free bread and even offered us free dips & coffee. We had a lovely dinner, I recommend giving this place a try for a casual high quality meal.
