The young man (Pablo) taking orders and serving the drinks is a smart, witty and beautiful guy who's able to connect to people of any age. He'll take his time to have a chat and will make sure you have everything you need. The one making the drinks has done their homework. So many cocktails to choose from, the ones we got were very good. But those we saw being served to others looked so good too. Great presentation!

Arrived for post dinner drinks to a warm and accommodating welcome to our party of 8, some of whom were still on their way from Old Hersonissos. Waiter very knowledgeable and when I mentioned the negroni he recommended their twist on it, with ginger and rhubarb gin. And it was SU-PERB! Other cocktails including the sea breeze, gorilla titt and mojito were all great too, as was the virgin Pina colada. Truth be told, the prices are a bit higher than others in the area but I think worth it for the service and quality. Recommended!!

Being literally next door to the highly respected Marel, The Half Note needs to be on top of it's game...and it is. It's got a superb cocktail menu, and is a a lovely place to sit and contemplate life. The waiter is friendly and hard working, and we went here most nights for cocktails.
