"The Half Note is definitely a great place for dinner, live entertainment, as well as brunch. I’ve enjoyed dinner and the live entertainment on more than one occasion. This visit was actually my first time having brunch and it was absolutely amazing. We were greeted with a smile as soon as we entered and were escorted to your table where we were professionally and courteously greeted by your waitress. Our waitress was extremely attentive to us and seems to know exactly when she was needed. Our table was immediately cleared when required. An out-of-town friend joined me and had great things to say as well. Half Note is now at the top of my list for great places for Sunday Brunch."

"The Half Note has the look and feel of any big metopolitan city tuck away in the suburbs. The staff was exceptional. The clientel was mature and hip (telling my age with that word) and the price scale I believe is competitive. The decor was fabulous!! Loved it! Loved it! The food was good but not great. The background music was extremely loud causing everyone to yell just to talk to the person seated next to them. I would patronize Half Note again, however I would not become a regular as I find it to loud to socialize. The band was great after the sound guy worked out the kinks. Overall a good experience."

"Excellent service and food -- My first time there for Sunday brunch -- The waffles melted in your mouth -- Everything was fabulous -- Warm and friendly environment -- Great for small or large gatherings -- I was there with two others and I noticed, couples there for romantic outings, and family/friend gatherings of about 20 -- Seems to perfect for small and large gatherings."

"It was just OK. Nothing remarkable for the price. The mimosa was terrible and served in a plastic flute no less."

"I had guests visiting from Florida and wanted a place to take them that would provide a little entertainment and dinner for the evening. Half Note was recommended. The decor, food and service made a lasting impression on all of us. Not only would my husband and I go to Half Note again, we will recommend it to others."

"Experience was ok, but nothing special, compared to restaurants like B. Smiths in Union Square whose food quality is better food selection is bigger, and Mimosas at brunch are unlimited with no extra charge this place needs to step it up some. Seating was also very tight, we were squeezed into a tight space and felt like we were sharing a table with the people next to us. Not to mention sliding sideways every time I got up from my table, this was very uncomfortable for me and I am small in stature so I can't imagine how someone with a little more size might feel. The waiter had to come ask if we were done with our condiments because he needed them for another table!!! I don't think my husband and I will return."
