I wanted to like Paragon in Providence, I really, really did. Sadly, this place didn’t make the cut. Not for brunch anyway.
Before I go any futher, let me just say that they serve pizza in their brunch buffet, which was actually very good.
Anyhow, a friend of mine told my boyfriend and I that we had to check out Paragon for their Sunday brunch. He might has well have thrown his hands up in the air in excitement over the array of foods and the fresh omelets made right on the spot.
OK, so… for $15 you get the buffet, plus coffee and juice (or $19 for buffet + mimosa which is what I got). The buffet has eggs benedict, scrambled eggs, homefries, french toast, waffles, bacon, pastries, bagels, and a station where a guy will make your omelet to order.
In addition to breakfast stuff, they have some soup, pasta, ham, roast beef and pizza. Also a little rice concoction. While I was there for breakfast, I would have eaten some lunch items if any of them looked appetizing, which they didn’t (except the pizza, which was great).
With all this said.. it was a pretty generic buffet. I mean, the tiny glimmer of hope it had was the omelet station and my omelet (green peppers, bacon and cheese) wasn’t very good.
For $15, I could have gone to Fire & Ice and gotten a ridiculous array of breakfast items made to order, with fresh fruit, pancakes and whatever concoction I wanted… plus meats and chicken and whatever lunch items I wanted, if I wanted them.
So for comparisons sake, I was majorly unimpressed. Very glad I tried it out, but wouldn’t come back for brunch
