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.

    Hands down the best meal I have had in Hawaii! We are visiting from Los Angeles and were pleasantly surprised by this place. Initially, somewhat skeptical cause of the hype about james beard but we did like the prices . We got, the steak tartare. They give you a lot of perfectly toasted bread. Filling and good. Then we got the beet salad - my wife’s favorite. We took a chance on the burger and it did not disappoint. It was the best burger I’ve ever had! And I come from Los Angeles where it is burgers galore. It just about beat my favorite father’s office burger. The lamb cavatelli was good but probably the least favorite of the dishes we had but all the dishes were awesome.

    Always a fun time. The basil Caesar salad is a must, as is the rocky road ice cream.

    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.
