Incredible food, excellent service, and delicious cocktails! I initially booked our reservation for the wrong night and was able to snag what I think was the last reservation of the night the day we dined. Definitely recommend making a reservation so you don’t end up waiting outside with the other walk ups! We ordered some of the specials for the evening (the carrots were amazing) along with some amazing standard menu items. Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the sourcing of every ingredient and was super attentive throughout our meal, making for an excellent experience. I’m lactose intolerant and had plenty of options, including one of the best sorbets I’ve had in my life (it was a house blend recommended by our server that ended up tasting like velvety caramel!). We ended up at the back table by the open kitchen, which I loved as an industry person. I loved seeing their kitchen and expo in action and talking shop with some of their staff. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re on island, and I can’t wait to taste whatever is in season then! So nice to see a proper farm to table spot in the islands!

I made a reservation about a week in advance. I’m so glad that I did because it was very busy when we arrived. I was pleased that it felt so different than Waikiki. It’s seemed to be restaurant that attracts locals. The cocktail, A Pear to Remember was amazing. I ordered two. I ordered the Mahi special. It was great. My friends enjoyed their entrees as well. We finished the meal with the Rocky Road Ice Cream. The ice cream was amazing! The dark chocolate, macadamia nuts, and house made marshmallows was a wonderful combination and elevated spend on an already great flavor.

This dinner was hands down one of my favorite dinners ever. The lasagna I ordered tasted so amazing. The drinks were phenomenal. Im so glad our server pushed me to order the lasagna, even though I try to rarely order pasta dishes when I go out. I will 100% be going back to have another meal at this establishment. One of Top 3 restaurants on the island for sure.

The food here is absolutely incredible and when I mean, incredible, I mean incredible. Every single bite was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place. The most wonderful part about my experience is the care to make sure my meal was prepared without onion or garlic as I’m allergic to it and the chef was beyond Understanding and willing to create a meal for me I eat. Everyone in our group was extremely happy definitely recommend making a reservation as they are very busy. We sat at the bar and had excellent service.

My family took me here for a birthday dinner and all the food was so delicious and decadent. We ordered the beef tartar, fried shrimp (special), ragu, steak, and carbonara. We had 4 adults and 2 kids dining and we were SO full (could barely eat breakfast the next day). I love the concept, elevated dishes, reasonable prices, and a fusion of different cuisines. Loved our experience.

This is a worthy of a serious detour. The food is truly fabulous. This is a smaller restaurant and definitely gets you away from the Waikiki chains and hotel options. There is likely nothing on the menu that is just so-so but we loved both the fried chocked and a wonderful fish on special. We sat at the bar which we loved.

Hands down best restaurant in Honolulu. Imaginative, local, unpretentious, yet elegant dishes. Excellent service and a warm, friendly venue. Great bar - I had the Smoky Monk which met my "I like smoky drinks" standard. Fav dishes included: Crispy Shrimp, Fete Spreads, and Korean Bavette. We've been to Fete several times, and never disappointed, always surprised.

We were walk ins but they were able to get us bar seats for an hour. It was perfect since we already had apps and I had one thing in mind… ordering one of the pastas. Kevin was an awesome server and the bartender was excellent too. Our server recommended the Korean chicken sandwich and didn’t steer us wrong. So tasty!! I enjoyed the spaghetti carbonara though it tasted a bit different than I imagined. I’d definitely come back and try some more of their food. It all looked so good.
