This romantic day will be here before you know it. Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year. That entire weekend will be very busy at local restaurants. Those reservations are already beginning to book up. So if you want a table at one of your favorite spots, you might want to jump on it now to get a table at a restaurant in Shreveport-Bossier City.

Dining out for 2 will cost about $135 on average this year. Spending for Valentine’s Day this year is expected to be up nearly 10% from a year ago.
