Couldn't get a reservation in the dining room due to reservations for Christmas dinner parties, but we were seated promptly in the bar area. It was actually fairly quiet and conducive to a pleasant dining experience. Service by Jeff was exceptionally prompt and courteous. Menu choices ran the gamut, and all looked well thought-out. Our table had the trout, ribeye and meatloaf. All were perfect: tasty, seasoned as they should be (the meatloaf had a hint of thyme - unusual but delicious), served promptly, hot, well presented. We hadn't been there for years, but will put Tuscarora on our regular rotation. Highly recommended.

Don't believe the reviewer who rated it 3 of 5 stars. This is by far our favorite restaurant in Northern VA. The food is exceptional (the waiter told us one of the reductions used in many of their sauces and gravies starts with 15 gallons of balsalmic and ends 3 days later with 1 gallon). The duck is wonderful, the carmelized beets with goat cheese dressing is amazing (and I grew up hating beets) and the meal is always an amazing experience. Love it love it love it.

The food was exquisite. The beer selection was super. Hubs had the duck breast and I had the BBQ sampler and we shared the bread pudding. Everything was delicious. Service was impeccable, even on a very busy Friday evening.

Pretty place, expected so much more for the price. I'd guess maybe a hair better than average? Service was good - but should have been.
