We've been to the Big View Diner before but normally later in the day. Have an early Dr. Appointment so we were out earlier than normal.
We walked in a few minutes after 8am and they were already busy. Hostess immediately seated up and brought us menus and took our coffee orders.
She was back in a couple minutes with two cups of outstanding fresh brewed coffee and asked if we has made up our minds on Breakfast.
My wife order Crab Cake Benedict with a side of fruit. Been awhile since I have had Lox and Bagels so the fresh salmon bagel with cream cheese, tomato, onion, and capers sounded close enough
While we waited we reviewed the room. Lots of glass and dark wood, very modern design. It's a good restaurant and has a great fresh bakery section.
By this time our breakfast had arrived. Serving portions are large and probably explains why I need to loose about 10 extra pounds.
My wife enjoyed her Crab Cake Benedict. Fruit was good and was a lot more than just cheap melon that some restaurants serve. The Benedict's were large and very flaky with a lot of crab and very little filler. They were very large and my wife ended up taking one home for later.
The Salmon and Bagel was excellent. Salmon had a nice fresh taste. The tomatoes tasted like a tomato should and the capers were a nice contrast.
In the end, a very enjoyable meal and we would come here more often except for the commute from Lake Norman is about 30 miles. She's already hitting me up to come down for the lunch menu so she can get the Veal Meatloaf.
