    Porfirio Cortes made my daughter & I feel like absolute princesses! I wanted to bless her on the special day we picked up her wedding gown from Kleinfelds & he went so far beyond all my dreams& hopes! I truly have never had better service ever! His attention to every special detail, from making sure everything was perfect & to her complete satisfaction, to blessing her with an incredibly special chocolate surprise & even sweet extra tokens! He was just so very kind to us both! He made our experience at The Plaza a forever memory for us both!

    This was just a wonderful experience. The place is adorable, with floral decor, and the theme was Tea and Terrariums. We had lovely hosts and everyone was friendly. The empanadas were delicious. Looking forward to going again this summer!
