The interior is gorgeous -- modern coastal vibes with warm lighting, beautiful textures, and thoughtful details that make it feel fresh and inviting. It's definitely one of the more stylish spots in Poughkeepsie. The food? So good. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, clearly made with quality ingredients. I loved that the menu offers variety without being overwhelming. Portion sizes are generous (come hungry!) and the price point feels very fair for the quality and presentation. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing -- you can tell the team really cares about creating a great dining experience. Overall, The Salt Line is a must-try whether you're local or visiting. Great ambiance, fresh ingredients, generous portions, and solid value -- it's quickly become one of my go-to spots in the area.

Had this bookmarked for our trip because of all of the rave reviews. We stopped in for dinner…read moreSaturday March 21 and there was barely anyone requiring service. After we walked in one of the waitresses informed us that we can sit wherever we want. I instantly felt like I was inconveniencing her with my presence by the way she said it. Didn't take it personal just yet. What appeared to be the hostess came over a few minutes after we sat down and handed us menus that were very dirty. I looked at my husband and said I am ready to walk out of this place bc I am starving and it looks like they are too short staffed right now which is understandably out of a businesses control sometimes. But wait, instead of the waitress coming to our table to bring water or ask us if we would like a drink, she went to another table with a man and a child that she obviously knew well, and started eating their french fries and talking. That's when we decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere. So unprofessional. That couldn't wait? I hate to leave a review like this, but if I was the owner of this business, I would not want someone like that working for me, representing what seems to be a great place.

They have a short tap list on a chalk board over the bar area but a massive bottle and can list. Truly a beer enthusiast paradise. Prices vary but pretty much run $6-$9 per beer.

Little Goat How do you cap off a magical month of Mozart at…read moreBard College at Annandale-on-Hudson? By heading to the charming Little Goat at 6380 Mill Street in Rhinebeck, NY! We have been meaning to try it since our neighbors raved about their Thanksgiving meal there last year. We entered and were immediately greeted by a basket of baguettes from Sparrowbush of Hudson at the counter. The browned crust reminded of us of our holy grail of bread from Balthazar that a guest had brought to our home 30 years ago. We've been unable to find a comparable baguette until we found one at the recently shuttered Fletcher & Lu's. We'd make monthly pilgrimages to stock up, and were saddened when our bread fix was no longer available. We snapped one up to test it out (had it for breakfast and it's glorious!) The interior is painted a warm butter yellow, the shelves house white ironstone pitchers, and baskets of wildflowers abound. Simple, but homey, yet at the same time elegant. The table settings are understated, and much like those I grew up with my grandmere from the southwest of France, who settled in the Napa Valley. My cousin Thérèse runs a restaurant in Beauregard in the Lot department that reminds me greatly of the Little Goat. We were in good hands with our server, Lennon (yes, named after THAT Lennon!) She was attentive, animated and very charming. We started with a Churchtown Dairy (Hudson) Copperwaite, local honeycomb with spelt bread appetizer that was on point. For our wine we had 4 glasses of Gamay, Coeur de la Reine, Loire, France 2023 (nice and plummy, but recommend getting a bottle rather than by the glass for a better value!) I had the Roasted Petite Filet, with Smoked Pepper Butter, Tallow-Fried Onions and Bernaise on the side. Tender, flavorful, and a generous portion that was enough for another meal. With that I had the barbecue-spiced crispy potatoes, a perfect combination. My husband had the Rigatoni Pork Ragu, Sourdough Soffrito dusted with Parmigiano. (Disclaimer: after 50 years together, if this dish is on the menu, I know he will order it. He did...and loved it, ranking it among the best he's ever had ), pairing it with Braised Romano Beans, Sofrito, and Smoked Pecorino. For dessert, we "shared" (ok, he had one bite and I devoured the rest) the Chocolate Budino,* Creme Fraiche, Oats dusted with Fleur and topped with a crisp Tuile. * A budino is what you get if a pot de crème hooked up with crème brûlée for a steamy night and had a baby! What is so charming about this restaurant is that it is so family-friendly. Several tables had babies and toddlers galore and it gave the room a welcome liveliness. Definitely not stuffy, and a welcome relief from snooty dining establishments. Kudos to Erin Winters and Taavo Somer for bringing such an extraordinary dining experience to my beloved Hudson Valley. You excel at what you do. And Five Toques to Chef Paragas...you slay!

Dinner was insanely good. The old fashioned, halloumi, and CHICKEN blew us away. The cheesecake too was to die for. Came back again the next morning for breakies, and that egg sandwich didn't disappoint. The ONLY thing that could use a little improvement was the iced coffee, it was a bit too strong / dark / bitter but honestly, that's just personal preference, I'm sure it works just fine for others. Old fashioned lemonade tasted like regular lemonade, nothing special there. Staff was nice. Atmosphere is perfect. Might do breakfast again here tomorrow it was that good.

When I called the restaurant to inform them of the issue, the person who initially answered the phone did sound genuinely concerned, which I appreciated. However, my experience quickly went downhill when the "manager" or supervisor came on the line. Instead of addressing my concern professionally, she initially laughed when I explained what happened--which felt incredibly dismissive and unprofessional. To make matters worse, she casually mentioned that she didn't see any missing water caps, as if that somehow resolved my complaint. I even offered to bring back the half-eaten wrap as proof, but the conversation continued to lack empathy or responsibility. She then asked if I wanted a refund or a replacement wrap. At that point, I explained that I just wanted a refund, not more food from a kitchen where bottle caps end up in customer orders. The whole situation left me really unsettled--not just from the physical contamination, but from the lack of genuine concern. Overall, this experience makes me question the hygiene practices behind the scenes and the way customer complaints are handled. A simple apology and visible concern would have gone a long way, but instead I felt like an inconvenience. I will not be returning, and I seriously hope this business improves its training and attention to food safety.
