About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
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.

    We have been going to Fete since it opened and it never fails to impress. Their core menu is outstanding and, as a bonus, they frequently supplement it with seasonal specials. The staff is attentive and their wine and cocktail list--although intimidating in terms of scale--is top notch.

    Our party of three celebrated a birthday over lunch. We requested a shady area outside and they delivered. Our wait person was friendly and informative, and her suggestions and pacing were impeccable. They update the menu seasonally, and she recommended the beet salad, which we shared as an appetizer. It was delicious and we all would definitely order it again. The Korean Fried Chicken sandwich with Kochujang sauce was excellent, as was the ahi fish sandwich (with avocado). The crispy potatoes were a hit and we all took some home to fry up with an egg in the morning. (Can’t wait!) We split the dessert (again, recommended) which was the special from their bakery down the street. Once again, Fete and its staff made this special day a positive one with their perfectly prepared dishes and their spectacular service. Thank you for making our friend’s birthday a special one!

    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.
