About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
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.

    I had heard all types of great things about this place and it did not disappoint. Epic food and drinks served without pretense. The price point is very approachable too, not cheap but very fair for what you get. Truly one of the best meals I’ve had.

    Small place jam packed and it works. Really delicious food that walks the line successfully of intense flavors and yet not overpowering. A taste sensation that I will go back for more. Our little table was jammed in between a row of tables and yet it was pleasant and it felt great. It was really loud and yet still very pleasant. I really don’t understand how they pull it off all I can say is it was fantastic and I can’t wait to go back!

    From the first time we tried Fete, we were quite impressed and it easily became one of our favorite spots on Oahu. I've been trying everyone's mai tais on the island and Fete is in the top 3. I also tried their spicy kitty drink and it's delicious. As far as appetizers, we've tried their oysters and they were very fresh. For our main entrees, I had the Korean Babette Steak and the Grilled Kampachi (during lent) and my husband loves their veal chop. For dessert, we always get the rocky road ice cream. The flavor brings me back to my childhood, It's always been my favorite. The service is uniformly excellent. The food is always delicious. The owner is very attentive. We will be back for Mother's Day.

    Our party of 5 started our dinner by having several salads (special of the day beet salad and the Fete Salad topped with the Crispy Fried Chicken), both were plentiful and tasty. For mains, we ordered the Vitello Tonnato Salad, Grilled Cheese, Crispy Shrimp, Beef Pot Pie, and the Butternut Squash Risotto. All very tasty but we all agreed that the Risotto was the best dish. All the portions were a healthy size, too (including the salads)! If you're not that hungry, you can easily split a salad and main entree between two people and be very happy. Although the grilled cheese was raved about by a friend, I can make a similiar version easily at home, however, the housemade tomato soup was a nice touch (and I wouldn't necessarily make this at home!) The french fries with homemade ketchup was also good, but I prefer shoestring pommes frites for a truly French touch. Fete's version were more of a steak cut—therefore a "meatier" bite—than I'd prefer. All in all, a very good meal and we'd return! We preferred sitting inside, too, for the air conditioning and being away from the occasional houseless that would wander past.
