The Salt Line, tucked away at the Heartwood hotel, has an elegant atmosphere without feeling stuffy. Their promise of locally sourced ingredients shows up in each and every dish. I was blown away by the food. These are the kinds of dishes you go out for - complex, creative, and delicious. The Green Goddess salad was a standout, with impossibly crisp lettuce and a Gorgonzola dressing I'm still thinking about. I also had the House Made Rigatoni with truffle sauce, which was cooked to a perfect al dente. I added salmon, which was cooked brilliantly: a bold, peppery crust on the outside with a soft, beautifully tender interior. Finally, the garlic hummus was bursting with garlicy goodness, pairing well with the naan and dukkah. While our servers were very friendly and attentive, there were a few small fumbles, like needing to swap out a smudged wine glass. The ambiance also has some room to grow. The sticky floor, heavy/worn chairs, and sparse outdoor area were minor distractions from an otherwise lovely setting. Overall, I think The Salt Line is a fantastic restaurant that is close to being truly exceptional. Judging by past reviews vs. my actual experience, it seems receptive to feedback - I genuinely can't wait to return and see it live up to its incredible potential.

We really liked Saltline. Very sophisticated without being stuffy. Service was very gracious.
Food perfect. The only negative was the heaviness of the chairs near the window. You can’t move them without a dolly. But all in all divine!

I had a bridal brunch(a small party of 13)on August 27 at the Saltline. It was a fantastic start with the initial meeting with Tim, the manager. He was attentive, professional and a pleasure to work with as well as our waiter, John who was also a delight and very accommodating. He was such a pleasure that I increased my gratuity amount from 20 to 25%. First time ever!
Delicious culinary dishes with plating which made our food look appetizing and enhanced our brunch experience.
I can’t thank you enough for making my future daughter in law’s bridal brunch a memorable event with all the special touches. After the brunch, my guests shared with me how much fun they had and what a wonderful experience it was for them as well.
If anyone is considering a small gathering this is the restaurant to go to. You won’t be disappointed!
I (we) will be back! Thank you so very much!
Best,
Joan Hagedorn

On August 17th I attended a bridal shower brunch at The Salt line. It was the first time I was there. The experience at The Salt Line
was fantastic. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly Tim (The Manager) and John (Our Waiter). I enjoyed my meal and it seemed everyone was happy with their choices.
Overall, I highly recommend it for a delicious meal and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

Beautiful restaurant! Very classy, but not stuffy or pretentious. Food is beautiful, tasty, and of great quality. Our server, Jon, was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The Salt Line is like having a little bit of NYC in Poughkeepsie.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had - paired with top notch service. Reasonable pricing (on the menu I had), and I learned that because CIA is so close — this place attracts incredible talent in the kitchen. Couldn’t recommend highly enough

My husband and I have watched the salt in from the groundbreaking to the opening. Today, my family and I went for brunch, it was indescribable delicious!
From the very beginning, the drinking water was complimented by my husband and daughter. I had a cappuccino that was not bitter.
Review their menu it is as delicious as as it is written.
To our waiter and deeply apologetic that I forgot your first name, but thank you. You are very professional and served as well thank you Karen Odell.

While visiting family in Upstate New York this past Sunday, a friend and I stumbled upon The Salt Line through a quick Google search and decided to give it a try for dinner. We’re so glad we did—our experience was fantastic!

I ordered the jerk chicken, and my friend went with the burger and truffle fries. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, but what truly stood out was the exceptional service and atmosphere. Our server, Lily, was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. To top it off, the manager, Tim, personally stopped by our table to welcome us and check in on our meal. That thoughtful gesture really impressed us—it’s rare to see that level of care and hospitality.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food, a wonderful atmosphere and an attentive staff.
