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.

Fete has great food and a nice staff. Basically it ends there. The restaurant is in a seedy part of town, it is extremely noisy inside and has little to no ambience. The food does carry it but tough to give it high marks because of the other issues. Finding parking is very difficult at night And not comfortable because of the area. We had wonderful fresh fish, the appetizers called spreads are delicious, fried chicken very good. Special beet salad also very tasty. it’s a shame it’s not in a better location.

we really loved trying this restaurant for the first time! The waiter was so knowledgeable and really helped us carve our experience so beautifully… There were some service lapses in terms of refilling waters, etc. Our tables were excruciatingly close together, almost making it impossible to get to our seats All in all… We were very happy and hope to try the restaurant again perhaps requesting a round table for 3 .. mahalo nui loa

We always look forward to our dinner at Féte. From our warm greeting at the door, to the kindness of the entire staff (waiters/bartender), to the amazing meals we have had and shared, it doesn’t get any better than this. Can’t wait for our next dinner there. Thank you.

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.
