"My first time ever in NOLA, and my husband's first time back in more than 30 years. We arrived at the place we were staying around 9:00pm, and were starving. I looked online and Buffa's was the closest, within walking distance, that was still open (24/7! . Even though it was late, Huggy the bartender greeted us with a smile and offered us menus. When it was time to order, he sat at the table with us and took the time to ask where we were from, and also to recommend items from the menu.
