We enjoyed the ahi tartare, green bean, and hamachi . The service was excellent. The only thing we didn’t like was being cramped into a small space with several other guests in a side room. The table next to us was so close that I could hear their conversation even though they were speaking at normal volume. Oh well. The food was great so we would go again.

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!
