About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood 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.

    My first time here was a great experience. Our server Trevor was excellent! He was friendly, cheerful and knew everything about the food. My friend is having a major bout with some foods and he did his best to help her select what to eat. This is where his expertise on the food and how it is prepared really shines through. He was also helpful in making suggestions to enhance my special beet salad; I added an ahi salad that he suggested and which wasn’t on the menu. We didn’t order any alcoholic beverages but they have a full bar. a long list of unique cocktails and an extensive wine list. My friend with the allergies was able to find a nice salad that came beautifully prepared and the chef was able to customize the crispy potatoes. My other friend had the tomato soup that came with huge slices of sourdough bread toasted and covered with melted cheese. She also had the Caesar’s salad with chicken and the dip sampler with toasted bread. She’d asked him if her order was sufficient and instead of passing the check, he told her that the food she ordered would be satisfactory. He also offered her another free side order of bread when she ran out. All in all a great experience. Parking is a bit of a challenge but there are municipal lots sprinkled through out town. Restrooms are out the back door in a courtyard shared by several other restaurants. This sounds a little off-putting initially but it’s clean and private.

    Top notch service and delicious food are what to expect at Fête. The restaurant is fairly small and fills up quickly, reservations highly recommended.

    Dining at Fete is always a great treat. Awesome food, fair prices, and outstanding service. Love the chicken mousse and the sourdough bread. The house sodas are very refreshing. And the best part is that their bakery is right around the corner on Smith street. Thanks Fete staff for another wonderful experience.

    Food was very good and Trevin (the bartender) took care of us very well. We opted to try the day’s specials and were not disappointed

    Everything about Fete is spot on fabulous but note that during busy hours the din inside is crazy loud. Which may be a good thing because you know everyone is having a good time but conversations may be difficult when you have to shout.

    Outside there was off-tune musicians playing for most of the night and the street is loud generally- I didn’t realize how busy the street was going to be. But great food!

    A great evening. The main dining area is very lively and the tables close together but the noise level is surprisingly moderate. There is no problem carrying on normal conversation. Everything we ordered was excellent. I ordered the tartare and the risotto. Both were special. Everyone wanted to try my tartare!! Guests ordered the prawns and a day special lasagna. My wife ordered the fish. Neighbors ordered the pork chop and it looked so good she was jealous…maybe next time. We need to come here more often.

    First time to FETE and food didn't disappoint. Yes, a little on the higher side but it was still good.
