Generations of visitors to the Lake have been celebrating their special occasions — or just a night out after the beach — at Hart’s, an institution since 1954 that still manages to deliver with its recipe of down-home New England cooking night after night. This isn’t an intimate experience –with 500 seats and a ton of turkey served on busy nights, the restaurant gets crowded on summer weekends, when service can sometimes be hit-and-miss. But the food never ceases to disappoint, with succulent roasted turkey served along all the sides you’ve been missing since Thanksgiving. The kids’ turkey plate is a bargain, and a welcome relief from the children’s menu rut of chicken fingers and mac ‘n’ cheese.
