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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Fête in Honolulu is a culinary delight with "amazing food" and "excellent service." Guests rave about the "creative cocktails," "fresh ingredients," and "attentive staff." While the ambiance is vibrant, it can be noisy. Reservations are recommended for this "popular" spot. Don't miss their "rocky road ice cream" and "beet salad."

    This place is 10/10. The food was incredible as always, but I’m leaving the review for the service. Not only is our waiter always incredibly knowledgeable of the menu items and where everything comes from, but when the OWNER of the restaurant couldn’t get a hold of us to let us know our table was ready, He walked two blocks to the bar we were at to personally come and get us. I will forever tell everyone I know to get dinner here.

    This was my first time at Fete and I was very very pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent. I had a steak tartar which was wonderful. The salad was great. The bread was good. The ambience was fantastic and I can’t wait to come back.  John and Nancy

    Our food was delicious but the service needs improvement. Our order took awhile but our server warned us the chicken took 20 minutes. I ordered a Korean steak that was really good. Bf ordered the chicken and asked for salt which never came. Had to ask our server for steak knives when we caught her eye. My daughter ordered risotto with the optional crispy prosciutto. The risotto arrived without the prosciutto, server never ordered it. We flagged her down to tell her it was missing and she told the kitchen expeditor. The expo told her it didn't automatically come with prosciutto, she had to put an order in for it. It finally arrived with an apology after the risotto was almost gone. It should've been comped. We ordered iced tea which came without ice. Needless to say I didn't tip well. While the food is good, the front of the house counts too.

    The food here is always inventive, delicious, locally sourced. Every ingredient and menu item has a story. The service is some of the best on the island!

    Food was great, as was the service. Location is perfect when attending events downtown, like at Hawaii Theatre. The place was full so noise level was pretty high, but to be expected in a historic space with wood floors.

    We had high hopes for dining at Fête, especially after hearing so many great things. We decided to order all of the specials for the evening, but unfortunately, the meal fell short of expectations. My Mahi was overcooked, the potatoes were served cold, and although the fish was wrapped in prosciutto, only one side was crispy while the other seemed undercooked and raw. While the overall experience was okay, it didn’t live up to the hype, especially considering the 50 min trip we made into Honolulu specifically to dine here. With so many excellent restaurants in the area, it’s hard to justify returning based on this visit. We really wanted this to be a memorable meal, but it just didn’t deliver.

    Everyone was polite and courteous. We sat near the front door and the banging was very loud at first and then we got used to it. Theresa was excellent!
