Seared rare ahi tuna – Tuscarora Mill

Seared rare ahi tuna - Tuscarora Mill
Soba noodles, wasabi, ginger, daikon, soy glaze. $12
Tuscarora Mill, Leesburg VA

This was disgusting! It tasted like they seared the tuna, cut it, then froze it again before serving. The texture was a combination of mushy and slimy, both of which you would never want with seared tuna. The accompaniments were also lame and ugly.

Duck rillette – Tuscarora Mill

Duck rillette - Tuscarora Mill
Dijon, cornichons, caper berries, croustades. $7
Tuscarora Mill, Leesburg VA

Mmm, the duck rillette was very tasty and super rich. It was also nicely priced at what I thought was a low seven bucks. My cocktail was on the sweet side. Otherwise, I wasn’t too impressed by the restaurant. It seemed old and outdated, not in a good charming way, more in a tired and sad way.
