Next Sunday's review
So many new restaurants have been opening up downtown lately I haven't had time to revisit some of the classics in the burbs.
I would put the Kings Contrivance in that category, part of the restaurant group that includes the Brass Elephant and the Milton Inn among others.
There's comparatively little in the Columbia area that's not a chain and offers fine dining, so it was definitely time after 13 years for me to take another look.
You'll find my review -- and what I think of the restaurant's major renovations that were just completed -- in next Sunday's Arts & Life Today section. I'm hoping the page will be in color because of the beautiful photos Sun photog extraordinaire Algerina took. But if not, I'll post some here.

Comments
It has been years since I have visited this restaurant. I am looking forward to your review. There are many chains that I really enjoy but I also look forward to a great meal in a fine dining establishment. I just wish that there were more opportunites to eat well in the burbs. Perhaps that is another top ten possibility, Top Ten Restaurants in the Suburbs, divided by county. Just a thought. I know, there will be comments that you could not put together ten restaurants that fit the bill...lol.
Love this idea.

Just curious if you ever leave Baltimore for reviews? Bruce Clarke {formerly of Timber Creek and Harbor Court} has seen fit to open Laurrapin Grill in Havre de Grace, check it out sometime.
It's been open awhile, hasn't it?
