About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • 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.

    James Beard Winner2022

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.

Executive chef: Robynne Maii

    Absolutely incredible food and distinct cocktails, a must-see on quality. Only drawbacks are that it’s a little crowded and pretty loud inside, but well worth it.

    SO GOOD!! The food was outstanding, but the carbonara was hands down my favorite. From the very first bite, the flavor was incredible, one of those dishes that immediately makes you stop and appreciate just how good it is. We also had the off-menu lasagna, which was fantastic in a completely different way. Unlike the carbonara's instant wow factor, the lasagna's flavors seemed to unfold after a few chews, delivering this incredible burst of richness and flavor. Both were memorable for entirely different reasons. The off-menu appetizer was equally exceptional, and the olive oil dessert was a wonderful surprise. I'm typically someone who only takes a bite or two of dessert, but this one was impressive enough to keep me coming back for more! The bartender was exceptional as well, adding to an already wonderful experience. It's rare to have so many dishes leave such a lasting impression in one evening. Fête absolutely delivered!

    Hostess was NOT accommodating at all. She would not give us a table for showing up early for our reservation. We need to sit at the bar. Luckily the bar tender was great! Food was ok for the price.

    Drinks were great Staff was friendly. The dishes we got were mostly ok. Tutu’s getaway car is an interesting ride with a tangy spicy but balanced overall flavor. Fete 75 was nice & refreshing. Got the prawns and 2 special menu items. The Ulu Aloo was a delicious spiced fusion dish. The chutney and fried okra were a nice touch. The Korean New York was unfortunately underwhelming and way overpriced. Honestly should have been half the price. The sauce for the steak was the only thing saving it. I should have gone with my guy and ordered the Duck with seared foie gras. The table next to us got it and they said the skin could have been crispier but the sauce was amazing. If I get a chance to come back, will need to try the on menu items this time. Staff was super nice and attentive though. They put candles on our ice cream for our anniversary. So points for that!
