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 three dips with the homemade sourdough toast was phenomenal as was the red snapper special of the day. However the steak Caesar salad was mediocre. Olive oil cake delicious and yummy Rocky road ice cream. Glad we came

We had a beautiful dinner at Fete. Our server offered dinks and water right away, in formed us of the specials and made us feel right at home. I originally had a reservation for an outside table but was offered an inside table even though the restaurant was fully booked. We were seated at a sweet little table with room for 3 which allowed plenty of space for us to share plates. We had drinks, the special and dessert and coffee. The bill was reasonable, the quality was fantastic as usual and service was excellent.

We were really excited to have dinner at Fete. We were in Honolulu for two nights and were looking forward to eating here. What a disappointment. It took 40 minutes to get are appetizers -- one was just dip and toast! Then another hour to get our main courses. The special ravioli was cold and the cream sauce had coagulated. One steak came cold but the rice on the same plate was hot. The waiter was extremely apologetic and comped the entire meal and did offer to give us free desserts but it was 10:30 PM by that time and we wanted to leave. Not sure what happened in the kitchen but no James Beard worthy.
