Review from Martin L.

Always looking for a surprise anniversary venue, I selected the Lake Lure Inn because my wife is a huge fan of Dirty Dancing. The next question was where to share dinner on our special day, Yelpers had me interested in the Inn's dining room as well as Larkins on the Lake, but sadly only one review for point of view. Checking with a friend of mine who summers at Lake
Lure, he unquestionably recommended P of V, then enjoying a glass of pre dinner wine at the inns bar, a must stop for all, we met a couple celebrating their 48th who have made the Inn their anniversary destination for 10 years and have always eaten at P o V, so off we went.
Point of View is housed in an old log cabin that I understand predates the lake and is owned by two sisters. Located across the lake it must have a point of view, but November the sun dies early along with the view.
Dinner begins with a loaf o fresh baked bread. We ordered the escargot on mushroom caps to begin. The bread didn't last as used it instead of licking the garlic butter from the plate. House salads came with home made dressings. That evening's special was grouper with shrimp that was perfectly prepared. My wife enjoyed her perfectly rare ribeye, the portion was not large, but neither was the price. Baked potatoes for me should not be wrapped in foil, but I just prefer crispy skins. Deserts are made on site and chafe according to the season.
All in all a lovely evening, prices fair and service prompt. In season reservations would be a must especially if you want to partake of the view or sit on the outside patio overlooking the lake.
I offer the rather long review, at least for me, as I believe Point of View deserves to have more people seriously consider it as a dining option. It has my endorsement, for what it's worth. -

Their attentive staff and the quiet atmosphere of a log cabin that pre-dates the construction of the Lake Lure Dam provide a perfect setting for a very good meal.
With a wide variety of lunch and dinner entrees, you'll find something for everyone in your group.
Gets very busy on summer evenings, so you'll want to call ahead (even just a few minutes before arriving) for reservations.
