    Earlier this month while solo dining on a business trip, I dropped into 2Johns during happy hour on a weekday. I quickly learned that it's a popular spot with live music and a livelier crowd. As soon as I took a seat at a bar table, a guy came over with water and trail mix. A minute or two later, my server Katy came over and introduced herself. Having no idea what to order, I went with Katy's recommendation, the special. The special was Chilean Sea Bass with lump crab meat and grilled shrimp, a side of goat cheese mashed potatoes, and asparagus spears. Every bit of it was melt-in-your-mouth good. Feeling stuffed, I ordered the crème brulee to go. I'd put this on my 'creme de la creme' top 5 list of crème brûlée's. The food, drinks, and service were 5 star. I'll be back.

    This high class steak house is really a local treat. I really loved the filet mignon served oscar style. We had exceptional service. I loved the live music during dinner. The ambiance was fitting for a fine dining establishment.

    We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here with a great dinner. We had the Crab Cakes as an appetizer. Which is always good. I tried something new to me- the Cajun Snapper. It was delicious and it had crawfish on top. For dessert we shared the Fudge Brownie with ice cream. We love 2Johns and will be back soon for their Friday lunch.

    Eating here fess such a memorable experience. We had a large group celebrating a graduation. The service was quite literally the best I've ever had! The food is so good and I highly recommend the pork chop or any of the steak dishes. I don't live in the area but if I did, I would be sure to frequent this place for date night or celebratory dinners.

    Pork chop

    Boo and I went here to celebrate our anniversary. Our server was Scott, and he was great. We shared the crabmeat (not the crabcakes, the other one) appetizer, I ordered the smaller filet mignon, and he got the pork chop. His pork chop was the star of the dinner. His sweet potato side was too sweet; they added stuff to an already sweet enough base. My filet and mashed red potatoes were good, though some of my green beans seemed a little too crunchy. The crab app did have some good lumps of meat, but they could've gone easier on the cheese/sauce. We wished we had room for dessert but unfortunately did not. Overall, good experience!

    Fancy cloth table and napkins

    June 2nd 11:02 am. Two johns has always been on my bucket list. But my husband refused to take me. Probably because they don't have baked potatoes and he was a stickler for "steak and potatoes ". Well. I can't afford to eat there without him so it's stayed on my bucket list for years. Until I realized they are open for one day a week at lunch. I took the opportunity to check them off my bucket list. 11:02- I was asked if I had a reservation. I didn't. Didn't matter. I was sat right away. 11:12- some very warm fresh bread arrived. I swear they must have baked it while I was browsing the menu. Candles and cloth napkins on every table. Very fancy. I ordered the shrimp poboy $15. It was really heavy handed on the horse radish. Honestly- I didn't like it. It is for this reason- I give 2 Johns 3 stars.

    Great food with great ambiance. It's a little pricey so not a regular date place. It's more of a special occasion place.

Alexis, our server, was friendly and attentive, and kept our water glasses full and refilled the wine swiftly when we asked for a refill. The merchandise area is a little cramped, but it was nice to know that if I wanted to take something home to make more on the menu, the option existed- especially with such diversity available! Mom also typically refills her olive oils, as she has indulged in a few of the flavors and enjoys adding them to her home cooked meals. Overall, a wonderful little spot to visit and I appreciate that it has a kitchen and good menu so I can taste some of the things that can be made with the variety of olive oils and balsamic vinegars- I've been to other places that offer different flavors of olive oil and balsamics, but never really had a good beginner level of understanding to see how the flavor of the oils can affect the final foods.

The potato beignets were a hit appetizer- although truly the oddest beignets I've ever seen- I would order again without hesitation. The kabocha squash hummus and Brussels sprouts were also immediate hits. My duck confit was exceptional and the banana creme pie was enough for 4 people to enjoy a few bites. The menu strikes a nice balance of varied southern/french tastes but focused for quality and thoughtfully curated. Although I noted that we were celebrating a graduation when making the reservation, it was never acknowledged. That said, the service was warm and attentive overall, with the only drawback being infrequent water refills.
