The Kings Contrivance

The service and food were astounding. I loved everything on the menu. Our waiter James even brought out a spicy and crispy shrimp that was not on the menu and we loved it. Hidden gem in the heart of Columbia.

Very good all around. The trifle was amazing. I've had better filet at other similarly priced places--This was good, still-- but I personally don't like gravy on my meat. Husband enjoyed the salmon.

This is one of my very favorite go-to places for fine dining in a quaint, quiet setting. Service is excellent as is the food - always. I took some pictures when I was there in December, but forgot to snap a shot of my delicious duck entree. Add-on to my review: photos of the delicious cheesecake & coconut, chocolate chip ice cream and 2018 fireplace and tree decorations are from yet another visit.

Delicious food, very courteous servers, charming! Beautiful, old home converted for restaurant/catering. Pretty setting! Had a wonderful celebration luncheon for family member. Not from the Maryland area, but would go back for more fun and food!

We went to celebrate my parents 63rd wedding anniversary. My mom especially loves their fried oysters (and so do we) so we started with them. I had the scallops and they were able to modify them for my special diet... They were supurb!! My husband had the tuna and raved about it all night. Don't wait for a special occasion to enjoy this gem of a restaurant!!
