   I was initially drawn to this restaurant because of its James Beard Foundation recognition, having dined at other award-winning spots across the country. Unfortunately, this place does not live up to that prestigious status. The quality of the food felt more like something you'd find at a mediocre bistro, yet it was priced far higher than it should be. Frankly, I can cook better meals at home. The food was underwhelming - my lasagna arrived with a crusty top, suggesting it had been reheated, and the salad tasted like something you’d get from Costco. It's clear that the ingredients are sourced from Restaurant Depot, not local farms as claimed. The staff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive, making the experience less enjoyable. To top it off, there was no draft beer available, and the kitchen was completely out of sight, so you couldn't even see how your food was being prepared. For four people with three canned beers, the bill came to $300, which felt like a major rip-off. I won't be returning and would advise others to steer clear of this place - it's not worth the hype.

   My experience of Fete, this place is very overrated will not go back. The reason : when waiter mention the special of the day he should also mention the price of the dish .

   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.

   It was definitely one of the best meals my family had in Hawaii. Service was friendly, food was amazing and the price was very reasonable. We will be back for sure.

   Great vibe, food & service. Enjoyed my meal very much. Loved the flash baked oysters and could’ve made a meal if just a dozen of those. Crispy chicken was excellent and not your average fried piece of protein. All around a wonderful find and experience on my first trip to Hawaii.

   Amazing food, amazing service. Always happy when we dine at Fete. We split two of the entree specials and could barely believe how good they were. Thank you to everyone at this fine, fine restaurant!

   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
