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 favourite sausage, and smoked ono (aka wahoo fish) 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.

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!

It was so packed with patrons and the tables are so close together, one can hear the conversations of those next to you. The waitress had to move the table out so one of us could squeeze in to the seat. That being said, the food was good.

Was glad to finally be able to stop by again after many years between my last visit. Friend had been meaning to go years ago but didnt' want to go solo. Portions were just right to allow us to share several items and get a broad range of dishes to try. Frozen kulolo scratched an itch I'd had for something smooth and with that rum back flavor. Excellent meal all around.
