"Our recent evening at Helena’s at Coopmanshuijs was made truly special thanks to KG’s outstanding service. She went above and beyond to make our anniversary celebration unforgettable. KG was not only attentive and kind but also brought an infectious warmth and joy to the entire experience. Her constant smile and thoughtful touches throughout the evening truly set her apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening, all thanks to KG’s exceptional dedication. Highly recommended!"
