Carruthers Restaurant is a vintage establishment that still offers good food and has a charming, old-school ambiance. While the service and food presentation can be inconsistent, the restaurant has received praise for its excellent brunch and dinner items. The staff are lovely and thoughtful, providing attentive and quick service that makes guests feel appreciated. Carruthers is known for its delightful atmosphere in downtown Astoria, where diners can enjoy a wonderful meal along with top-notch cocktails. Although the menu has undergone changes, some dishes, like the halibut fish and chips, are delicious and have impressed many diners. The seafood chowder has received mixed reviews; some find it bland while others enjoy it, and the crab cakes, though small, have their fans as well. The restaurant's wine list includes a delicious Malbec, and the orange infused crème brûlée is noted as a favorite. While the ribeye steaks are tender, they can sometimes be served in a bowl, making them difficult to cut. Overall, Carruthers Restaurant offers a mix of highs and lows, with potential for improvement, and is highly recommended for visitors to Astoria.
