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

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.

The food was superb. The restaurant is in a large brick building with high ceilings. It is extremely loud such that hearing the waiter or dinner companions can be challenging. I had the lamb chops, which were very well prepared. However, the steak knife was too dull to separate the meat from the bone. The others in our party had the fish special, which was exceptional!

Truly tasty food, everything. Onaga, kampachi, Fete spreads, cannoli. So good. Had 445 reservations, two. 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.
