The Kings Contrivance offers a delightful dining experience with its warm and inviting ambiance, complemented by a delicious menu selection. The hearty shellfish bisque, with generous amounts of crab and shrimp, is an absolute delight. The softshell crab is praised as one of the most tender and meaty. The diverse beer and wine selection, including oatmeal stout and old world reds, caters to various tastes. The service is described as prompt, friendly, and professional, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. While the recent visit had a few minor let-downs, such as sub-par tomatoes and a disappointing veal dish, the Crab Cakes and the fruit tart were still deemed excellent. Overall, The Kings Contrivance remains a beloved classic place for a meal in Howard County, known for its beautiful ambiance and generally delectable cuisine.
