     Several cuts above the Fireside and Sir Walter Raleigh (suggested by
someone else) is King's Contrivance, a continental restaurant located in a
restored mansion near Columbia (10150 Shaker Drive, not far from the
intersection of Routes 29 and 32; 596-3455).  Rather elegant and romantic,
I think.   I haven't been there in a while, but my impression is that you
can still get out for under $100 for two people.  I don't know how hard it
is to get reservations on short notice.
