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.

    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!

    Always a great experience at Fete! Food & service is always a 10/10. We sat outdoors for the first time, and it was a little noisy - but that didn’t keep us from having a great time! Shout out to Erin (Manager) and Chris (Server) for being amazing!

    Everything was great with exception that our table was very wobbly. After bringing it to the attention of our waitress she found a table wedge to insert underneath. Will continue to come to this great eatery!
