If you synced your iPhone notes to iTunes for backup before they're lost, you could recover lost iPhone notes on Mac by using iTunes backup. To do this, you should:

1. Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
3. When this finishes you can go back to iTunes>Prerferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.
