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

James Beard Award
2022

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.

Our hostess and server were both friendly and attentive. The ambiance was casual with a touch of industrial, common Chinatown style. The music was 80s-90s alternative rock. We had the Quinoa cakes to start with were very good. Crispy on the outside with avocado topping and a spicy guajillo sauce. My main was the Bonnne mi sandwich. It was basically roast beef grilled cheese on brioche bread. I was expecting more bahn mi vibes which weren’t there. My wife had the spaghetti carbonara which was a bit too salty. The house made hibiscus soda was delicious. The ice cream and sorbet desserts were good but not great.

This is hands-down the best food we ate while in Oahu, every dish to the cocktails were unreal! Our server brought so much magic to the meal the the history and story chef had for each dish. I ate the lasagna, and my boyfriend had the pork chop, we started with the beat salad and both finished with desert. The rocky road was perfection along with our entire experience!

Excellent food all around. Service was good but expected more from reviews read. Our server though was also bartending so very quick and to the point. Some food came out not warm/hot. But overall excellent. Fried chicken, Bavette, fried rice and fries were excellent!
