A review for our out of town visitors: welcome to Shreveport/Bossier City. I am a native Bossierite & a foodie. I love personal service & want my dining experience to be memorable & special. This restaurant is owned by two extraordinary people. John Sr. always visits the dining room & usually makes it to every table. While John Jr has the back operating like a well oiled machine. The steak is like no other. The seafood is always fresh. The desserts are worth making room for. And, the expert wait staff make you feel as if you’re the only table in the room. I love attention to detail: they hit the mark & then some. Complimentary valet parking. Nightly entertainment is the icing on the cake. Don’t leave town without a visit to 2Johns. Upscale atmosphere & well worth spending your evening there.

Great food, great atmosphere, drinks are always super, and the music is awesome. This place is my favorite fine dinning restaurant in the area. One of the best things about 2Johns is the bartenders. Knowledgeable, funny, and friendly. Unless we have more than 4 people in our group, we always eat in the bar.

2 Johns is fine dinning at its best! I love this place. I normally make reservation. Upon arrival the valet parking is free. I arrive about 20 mins early to have a cocktail at the bar or piano side. There is normal a live pianist playing all night. The light is set very dim it really set the tone for a romantic evening. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable about the menu items. This is a very upscale restaurant so you can’t come here pinching penny’s lol!

My husband and I went here for our anniversary, and our expectations were high. I started with the fried green tomato salad. It was only OK, a little too«oniony» for my taste. But the fried green tomatoes and homemade dressing were really good. For the entrees, I had the Filet Oscar-what bliss! The steak was a perfect medium, topped with jumbo lump crabmeat with jumbo grilled shrimp on the side. On the side were mashed potatoes & haricot verts. Everything was absolutely perfect! My husband had the rainbow trout –I had a taste & it was cooked very well. You can’t go wrong with surf or turf here! They had a good selection of red wines by the glass, I tried a couple. We were too full for dessert, maybe one day we’ll go to the bar for drinks, apps & dessert.

These are the best steaks in the area the I know of. Very nice clean restaurant, great service, personal attention to detail. One of the owners came by to ask us about our meal. You wont get that everywhere. If you feel like dressing up and having a great meal I would recommend Two Johns.

Where do I start? First and foremost I have issue with going to a dining establishment and not being able to hold a conversation with my guests. A++ on this. Grapefruit and Peach Ruston Martinis were amazing. Shrimp and grits appetizer was equally as good. Berry Salad, wedge salad and Green Tomato salads did not disappoint. The Entrees were stellar! The dishes chosen were Steak med rare of course, Halibut and Snapper. All were stellar. The desserts were gone in the blink of an eye. Crème Brulee, Chocolate cake and Blackberry Cobbler were ever so enjoyable. Service was Impeccable. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Fellow Unilocalers, oh how I adore thee! You so rarely disappoint. Yesterday was one of those«I need an excellent martini ASAP» sort of workdays, and I saw this place is known for their outstanding drinks, so off I go. Walking in, I was rather nervous as it is very upscale and snooty-looking, however the young lady who greeted me at the door welcomed me with the biggest smile and reassured me my work clothes were just fine. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Joel and Nathan(I hope I’m remembering their names correctly. I’m so bad about that) who are truly gifted Mixologists. They also happen to be very nice, funny and outstanding salesmen. I had no clue what to get other than what the Unilocalers advised(grapefruit martini. Beyond sublime, but I’ll get to that) and that’s when they began to describe this upstream swimming Salmon from Alaska in all its succulent glory. I don’t like seafood. Not a fan of fish unless it’s Tuna but the look on His face when he described it… I knew I had to see what the big deal was about. It was SOGOOD. I ate it all. I also had a fried green tomato salad that was so crisp and fresh! But those martinis… the Peach, the grapefruit. I dreamed about them later on. As an added bonus, the restaurant has excellent taste, as they do carry Don Julio tequila in not only silver but anejo and reposado. The piano music and singing was excellent, the crowd welcoming, and it was a very enjoyable end to a pretty rotten day. The price for such a lovely experience isn’t cheap; In fact it was the first time I ever paid over a hundred dollars for just myself but I had good company, a meal I’ve never had before, excellent drinks, great atmosphere and free entertainment in not only the live music but watching the bartenders create their unique drinks and clearly having a ball doing it. The way my bank account is set up, you won’t see me often but the very next time I find myself with a little extra funds I’m definitely headed here to treat myself. And when I do, I hope to meet some of you there in person — You’ll find me at the bar, sipping a grapefruit martini, I’m sure. Well done Unilocalers, you were so right about this place.

First off the tables were really close together. It felt kind of cramped which was a let down because we wished it had a more intimate feeling. We started off with the crab cakes. Don’t even waste your time on those. They are not worth it. They weren’t disgusting but I’ve had better at Copelands so if you want some good crab cakes go there. Then we ordered the rainbow trout and flounder. They were both delicious but by far the rainbow trout was EXCELLENT so it is a must get!

I made reservations for my wife and I at 5 pm on a Tuesday. We arrived a few minutes early so we had drinks at the bar. The bartender recommended a Grapefruit Martini and it was marvelous! The atmosphere was pleasant. At 5 pm we were promptly escorted to our table and brought a wonderful bread roll with whipped butter. We had appetizers of a wedge salad and shrimp cocktail. The salad was absolutely fresh, light, and tasty. The shrimp in the cocktail were true jumbo and served with cocktail sauce and a light zesty honey mustard. For main entrees, my wife had flounder and I had the 10 Oz filet steak. The flounder was excellently cooked without an overbearing fishy glavor. My wife comes from a seafood industry, so her tastes are highly discriminating. My steak was ordered medium rare, and it was cooked correctly. The steak was very tender by means of 1. Excellent sourcing of restaraunt meat and 2. excellent cooking techniques. There were no chemicals or cheap tenderizing techniques used. The resulting experience was the best beef steak I’ve ever had(and I’ve been around many fine restaraunts). The servers were very personal and attentive to our every need, and they quickly packaged my wife’s meal to bring home. If there was anything to complain about, we had a large boisterous group seated next to us that kind of ruined our intimate meal. In the future, I will be more selective in seating(and tipping) to ensure we could find a more cozy booth in a corner. But I do highly recommend 2johns as the best upscale eatery in the entire Shreveport/Bossier City area.

For the SBC area, 2Johns is one of my top steak houses for special occasions. I made reservations in advance and had no problems upon my arrival. Hands down, the steak au poivre & filet Oscar are cooked to the ultimate steak perfection. The steaks were prepared exactly as requested and I would expect nothing but the best. Each bite of my steak was tender, juicy, and burst with dynamic flavors. Service was impeccable and the ambiance was perfect for a romantic dinner. Yes, they are $$$ but you really do get what you pay for and I am 100% satisfied with my dining experience there. I’m really excited and looking forward to planning a future visit for an upcoming celebration!

Amazing dinner. The Crab Au Gratin was a great way to start the meal. We both had the Filet Oscar which was to die for. Top it off with an amazing bottle of 2008 Quintessa and you can’t get much better than that.

2Johns is my favorite place to get a steak in the Shreveport-Bossier area. The simplicity and mouthwatering flavors make my mouth so happy. I usually sit at the bar so that I can eat and enjoy the ambiance of the piano music. My favorite drink is the Blueberry Mojito.

There are a few times in life when everything works our perfectly. Tonight was such a night. The food was exquisite. We started with the crab au gratin app which was rich and decadent. My husband had the red fish and I had the striped bass. Both entrees were served with a wonderful spinach risotto and haricot Verts. We ended with a fabulous bread pudding with craisins and pecans covered in a southern comfort sauce. Our Server, Stacy was the best! Highly recommend 2 Johns for a romantic dinner. There was a piano player as well that added to the ambience!

I am a native to the Shreveport-Bossier area, but now live in Houston. I dined here with my boyfriend and another couple. I am a manager at a fine dining steakhouse, so my expectations were pretty high. The food was absolutely delicious. Tried the BBQ Quail and grits app, it was divine. Just the right amount of seasoning and the grits were a nice consistency. I had the Rainbow Trout Meuniere and my boyfriend had the NY Strip medium. We both loved our choices! Our guests also were delighted with their food, which I expected since they suggested 2Johns. Our server, Greg was just fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and of cooking in general. He was a pleasure to talk to. Throughout our meal, I noticed John, the manager, visiting every table in the restaurant. Being a dining room manager, I recognized how nice that looked. I had heard some unpleasant opinions about how certain people are perceived by the mgmt staff there, and to my disappointment, John never once visited our table. We had a full dinner from a bottle of wine, apps, entrees and desserts, so we were there for quite a while, which gave him ample time to check on us and he never did. While everything else was great, this small negligence left a very bad taste in my mouth. Food and Greg’s service was great, but being looked over when everyone else seemed important is why I gave 2 stars…
