But if you are planning a romantic night out in Shreveport with your sweetheart, you might get started now putting your plan into action so you don't get left out in the cold.

Of course, your loved one will want to spend some special time with you, but you can also score points for the lady in your life with a special gift you present to her at diner.

Valentine's Day is the second biggest day for dining out behind Mother's Day as more and more love birds enjoy a night out for a romantic dinner.

If you want to land a table at one of Shreveport Bossier's most romantic spots, you might want to get moving on making those reservations. Several of the popular local spots are already fully booked and others are also booking up very fast.
