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 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.

    Fete is one of our favorite restaurants in Honolulu. It’s always a wonderful dining experience - delicious food and great service! We especially love the spreads, quinoa cakes, hamburger and chicken sandwich . The chefs prepare them perfectly and the flavors are memorable and special. We highly recommend Fete!

    Add a meal at Fete to your vacation itinerary (and make you a reservation). I can’t say enough about my dining experience here, the food was top quality, how the food was prepared was delicious, the atmosphere was inviting and the staff went above and beyond to meet their customers needs/wants. Not only was the food good, but it was inspiring…refreshing the creativity that comes with cooking and enjoying good food. If your love for cooking has waited, Fete will inspire you to browse new recipes, reimagine how you will pair foods and ignite creativity. Thank you Robynne, Chuck, Emily and staff who created a dining experience like no other !

    Incredible food, wine, service, and overall experience! Our gracious host Chuck is the owner and operates this restaurant with his wife as the chef. He recommended an amazing wine to pair with our food, and took the time to discuss what he recommended, all while operating an extremely busy restaurant. The carbonara and beef bourguignon pot pie were amazing! We look forward to returning when our travels bring us back to Honolulu.

    We opted to sit outside and had buses going by every few minutes. Tables were barely a foot apart, so you were practically on top of your neighbors. Food was fine, cocktails were good, our waitress was nice but somehow double charged us and the table next to us for an item. If the location was different we would probably try it again, but we were rather disappointed in our experience after seeing all the good reviews here.

    DO NOT BOOK AN OUTSIDE TABLE! Between the busses constantly passing by within feet of the outdoor tables and the homeless that are constantly walking by this is NOT a place I will be returning to. Food was ok but definitely not worth the location. Our waitress Sophia was fantastic. I would have never booked except open table focused on the restaurant on their site. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

    The tables are spaced inches apart. It’s like you’re sharing a meal with the strangers you’re sitting next to. The pork ragu is my go-to. Twice fried chicken wasn’t a hit with my gf tho. The drinks are fancy and great if you like the taste of alcohol. We had reservations and got seated early. The location is gross so I wouldn’t eat outside. Inside is LOUD and crowded. I love this place. It’s a bit pricey but worth it.

    Mediocre, overpriced, short menu still somehow generates a long line on a Sunday night. I do not recommend. It used to be better.
