2022 James Beard Award Winner for Best Chef Northwest & Pacific.

Rooted in the local farm-to-table movement — a place where seasonality and culinary tradition are celebrated in tandem. One part Hawaii and one part Brooklyn. The atmosphere shares a brasserie feel with a laid-back island sensibility—a celebration and homage to all of our favorite things we enjoy eating and drinking.

Crafted with brick & reclaimed wood, our urban Hawaiian farmhouse features an open kitchen, lush plant wall, brick walls, and lots of natural light in a historic Chinatown building. The bar mixes classic and modern cocktails with artisanal flare with a well-curated wine list.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Robynne Maii

  • Award icon
    James Beard Award2022

From the OpenTable editors: The first native Hawaiian woman to win a James Beard Award, chef Robynne Maii adds island twists to brasserie comforts at the nationally acclaimed Fête, like bavette steak glazed in a sticky-sweet sauce and topped with a sunny egg, carbonara tossed with the local favorite sausage, and smoked ono (wahoo) layered into a club sandwich. Don’t miss the rocky road ice cream—Maii originally trained as a pastry chef in NYC before bringing the party home to Honolulu.

In no time, every chair was occupied. Seating is close, very close — but enjoyed chatting with the guys beside us trading travel stories. Noisy because it’s too many people crammed into a small space. And outside was too sunny when we arrived. Just be ready to lean in to hear others in between bites. Yummy food.

                                                              We understand that the business needs to accommodate as many customers as possible but our table felt wedged into a row of 2-seat tables. If you are going to go there during the lunch hour be ready to wait as it took 45-minutes to get our food. It was super noisy where we were seated so I could barely hear my guest. The food was okay for the price point.

Trevin was the mixologist and he had great recommendations. Very personable and friendly. Trevin made every guest dining at Fete very welcomed . Service was very quick and efficient. I ordered the Fete Salad so flavorful and delicious. The Carbonara was also wonderful . Amazing restaurant and I will highly recommend to colleagues and family as well . Thank you Fete Team for making my lunch a memorable dining experience. Aloha and Mahalo .

                                                              Fete is a nice change from the usual Hawaii dining. It could easily be in NY or LA, a casual SoHo type atmosphere. I had the special eggplant lasagne and thought it was excellent. My husband had the quinoa burger and said it was the best he has had. The service was excellent and the prices reasonable. I would highly recommend

                                                              We originally sat outside and asked to be moved inside due to the buses and loud traffic as we were directly on the sidewalk. Once inside, the noise level was loud but the place was quaint. Very small and lovely. We had the honey mustard chicken wings, steak tartare and basil Caesar to start. All were fabulous. My husband had the kampacha fish special and I had the pork rague. The fish was good per my husband. I had a bite and found it a bit fishy. The rague had great flavor and the pasta was perfectly cooked. No room for dessert but we would definitely go back!
