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.

We sat at the bar and enjoyed superb service. The beet salad was excellent. Had special pasta dish that was a bit on the heavy side, hence disappointing.

Service and food outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience from start to finish. A little noisy, and tables quite close together, but it's the energy of the place. Our waiter...sorry I don't recall his name ( I wish I could) was sooo patient and the timing of drinks and dinner was perfect. Outstanding service. Please find out who he is and give hime a raise. We live here and we'll be back. Cheryl McIlroy

If you're looking for a casual, open, "cafe" feel to your dining experience with an excellent bar and fantastic food, then Fete will be a perfect evening for you. Situated in the old China Town area of Downtown Honolulu, this trendy eatery has all the right elements for a great evening out - especially before heading to a show. Everything we had was delicious and the cocktails and wine list are top notch. And definitely save room for dessert!

Seriously unique and good food! We loved our evening at Fete. The food is brilliant. Al dente string beans sitting in a gorgeous tomato sauce, veal schnitzel with lilikoi, pot pie, beets, it went on and on and every dish was unique and beautiful. Our server tear it up taryn was beyond helpful, wise with her choices and a huge amount of fun. I’d recommend this spot to anyone. It’s a great meal.

Preferred table but sat at bar. Service friendly but could have provided more guidance and explanation on food and beverage especially non alcoholic. Never offered water but asked for a glass at the end. Chicken was too sweet and missed other flavors. Side salad was good - herbal and micro greens were great!

Love all the specials they have. We ordered 3 entrees, (1 special, 2 pastas) 2 pupus, and 1 side. That was enough food for 4 people sharing. Everything was delicious. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. We sat upstairs in the library to save time, but I prefer the main room. There was no apparent difference in service. It's just the library feels a little sterile to me. Personal preference.
