The Salt Line at Vassar

In the heart of the Vassar College campus, The Salt Line redefines farm-to-table dining with an original twist. Inspired by the natural meeting point of the Hudson River's brackish and fresh waters, this culinary haven offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern sophistication. Housed within the eco-friendly Heartwood Hotel, the restaurant takes guests on a journey through the rich agricultural heritage of the Hudson Valley.

Executive Chef Zachary Taylor Lovenguth, a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, orchestrates a menu that is as innovative as it is local. Every dish is crafted with the freshest ingredients sourced from nearby farms, offering a tantalizing array of flavors that change with the seasons. Whether you're savoring the heirloom squash gnocchi or indulging in the savory French-cut chicken breast with mushroom risotto, each bite at The Salt Line tells a story of sustainability and culinary artistry.

Complement your meal with a visit to the Night Owls Bar, where handcrafted cocktails and a curated selection of local wines and beers provide the perfect backdrop for socializing and unwinding. Over the weekends, the brunch menu dazzles with inventive dishes that spotlight the region’s bounty, making The Salt Line a must-visit destination for lovers of great food and drink. Embrace the vibrant community spirit and let this Poughkeepsie gem enchant your palate with its holistic approach to dining.
