The Ritual Tavern

I love this place! It's a true hidden gem..Not  a huge, but definately an excellent craft beer selection, excellent customer service and their food is to die for! I dont think you can go wrong with anything on the menu, from the Shepards pie, to the beef chedks to the portabella burger, everything is delish!!. We usually just eat at the bar, but there is outside seating..I'm still looking forward to sitting in the back patio..

First off, "Ritual" is one of the best gastro-pubs I've ever experienced, and I've made it a mission in life to find great gastro-pubs.  Their food is always excellent, as it is made with quality, natural, local products, and they have an amazingly deep beer selection.  If you don't care for the food/beer here, then might I recommend you go to TGI Fridays.  

That said, I recently was offered a position in Virginia and my fiance and I wanted to stage a quick wedding to make sure that all of our local friends and family were able to be with us on our special day.  So, in the matter of 10 days we scheduled a wedding from beginning to end.  We reached out to Ritual to see if they could help us out with the reception, and I have to say, the customer service, quality and attention to detail were 1st Class.  They even made us an RSVP graphic to send out to our guests that was original, classy, and informative.  The food was great, they helped us with the smallest of details, worked very closely with us on our menu and were incredibly accommodating given our quick turn around.  

Believe me, this is the place you want to go for drinks/dinner and all the way to your most special of occasions.  My only regret is that now that we are in Virginia, that my wife and I won't be able to frequent Ritual until we come back to SD on vacation.   These guys Rock!!!

Great little quaint bar with good beer. The bartender is great and they have a patio in the back that mostly regulars know about. It's definitely a nice pre-party place to meet up. I recommend at least trying it out. The ambiance is sweet.
