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.

Easy reservation. Great seating with no wait. Food was delicious. I got the ragu which was amazing. Portion size was big and filling. Loved my Fete 75 cocktail. Their homemade ice cream was delicious, especially the frozen kulolo. I will be back!

The food was of high quality and very well prepared. Interesting plates, a few vegetarian options, which since we had one vegetarian eating in our group, I wish there were a few more options, but there was at least one or two items. A little noisy, but overall a fabulous restaurant.

Excellent dishes, unique cocktails, cool atmosphere, great service. They had a specialty dish with beef in a chili sauce along with fried rice topped with egg that was outstanding. Flourless cake was very chocolatey, but wasn’t expecting the thick layer of chocolate mousse. We had never been to this part of the island before, so enjoyed looking around Chinatown while there. This was a gem of a restaurant and would definitely come back.

Really nice place. Great ambiance. The brick walls and crowded dining space make it a bit loud on a full night. The service was great. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu items and was always right there with a helpful suggestion. He really kept it moving and was on point with everything. I recommend this restaurant.

As usual, the food was superb. The chicken liver mousse, in particular, was outstanding. The entire staff was cordial, knowledgeable & welcoming, and our server Kenin was outstanding. Already looking forward to our next visit!
