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.

Went here for the last night of our honeymoon and we both said it was one of our favorite restaurants ever, and we are big foodies. The drinks were amazing and the food was on another level. The flavors of every single dish were incredible. We also has the fried chicken not pictures. A MUST TRY RESTAURANT.

My party enjoyed sharing a salad of the day, mixed greens w/ roasted beets and avocado, several side dishes: the french fries were amazing, the fried lupchong rice was delicious, and we tried 3 different sandwiches. They were all excellent, but my favorite was desert! the lilikoi flan... mwah!!

Outstanding dinner as usual. If you’re looking for a restaurant for date night, this is the one to try! The food is amazing, tasty and cooked to perfection. My go to is the risotto with prosciutto, and everything we’ve tried has been a 10/10. Cocktails are tastefully crafted, we love our gin drinks and all the ones we’ve tried have been delicious. Service is top notch, they come around often to make sure you are well taken care of!

Fete 1st stop for our Aloha Supper Club. This place doesn’t skip a beat. Corner of Hotel and Nuuanu, it’s looks chaotic buzz, but the smoothe reception immediately overtakes us upstairs to a more quieter area. I was looking for the teleprompter for Michelin-level eloquence waitress Sara, who was equally warm. Seriously, The White House could use her speaking abilities.) Food: 6 of us from starter to desserts, sorry to disappoint, but no negatives that I recall. Special recognition: Kale mushroom (ecstasy) and dessert Olive Oil (delight) and Korean Chicken Sandwich yum. Wish we could make this our 2nd stop, but we must journey on. Positive reviews are so warranted.

Our waiter Josh spoke of Chef Maii with a feeling of high admiration and rightfully so. After enjoying this culinary masterpiece, I will do the same! Hands down the best food on Oahu, period. The Gouda, Ribeye, Mahi and rocky road ice cream were absolutely delightful. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. Thank you for impeccable service, food and atmosphere.

Wow. Really looked forward to eating here and Fête did not disappoint. Our server was exceptional — very personable and helpful with her explanations of menu items — and the other staff were very attentive as well. The location in Chinatown is a bit sketchy if that’s of concern to you, but otherwise a great experience overall.
