About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    Dinner was incredible and the drinks were delicious and inventive. Our server was Chris, he did a fantastic job and gave great recommendations. We shared the chicken liver mouse, fried chicken special, and beet salad. Will come again soon! Mahalos!!

    Lovely waiter! We tried the spreads which were amazing, my other half enjoyed the ricotta with honey very much! The noise is pretty loud which is a given for a restaurant with a lot of people. 9/10 would definitely recommend—do try this place out when it’s during the weekdays as I assume this place is busy on weekends :)

    This is a lovely restaurant with unique, delicious food in a really interesting part of Chinatown Honolulu. However, our tables were so close together that we eventually gave in and luckily our neighbors were charming and we had a good conversation. It’s also on an area with quite a bit of rowdy street rosters, whether homeless or what I dont know. The host staff were watchful, but it was loud and a bit stressful at times. I thought potato purée was a bit much instead of mashed potatoes but the fish was delicious, and my husbands burger was really, really good! A bit surprised that it didn’t come with any side at all.

    I’ve dined at Fête several times over the years and have always appreciated the food and atmosphere, but this most recent visit was disappointing. Upon arrival, our party was directed by the host to leave the restaurant and check in at the outdoor table—even though she had the opportunity to simply bring over the iPad and confirm our reservation. This felt unnecessarily inconvenient and unwelcoming. We were seated near the entrance despite having a reservation during a non-peak time, and although the restaurant was quiet, both food and drinks took over 30 minutes to arrive. The overall hospitality and efficiency seem to have declined with each visit, which is unfortunate for a place that once felt like a reliable go-to. I truly hope to see Fête return to the level of service and warmth that initially made it such a standout in Honolulu.

    The food is pretty special at Fête. Some unique combinations that go together so incredibly well. A true delight for the taste buds. The only thing better than the food was the beautiful personalities and smiles of the staff. They truly made our night so much fun. Can't wait to come back.

    The food at Fete was fantastic but service was slow and they seemed to be short staffed. We were seated at an outdoor table so a bit noisy with the street traffic and ppl walking past. Food was the star at this restaurant.
