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.

The food and service were excellent! I had a spicy kitty drink that was served in a lucky cat mug. Very cute and delicious. Beet salad, kanpachi, and pot pie were all great, and the coconut sorbet was creamy and oh so yummy.

Absolutely one of the best meals I’ve had on the island so far. Lifelong food enthusiast who has traveled all over the world for the best food. This was certainly one of the better meals I’ve ever had, clearly the best on the island so far. The atmosphere is incredibly casual for this level of food. And almost all of the servers were exceptional.

Second time to Fete and we sat at a high top back by the open kitchen. The slap on so many levels. Their cocktail program is tops and the pro level service always helps compliment what the chefs pull off with the cuisine. Their local highlights to Oahu’s food system is such a treat. Full recommendation here!
