Fête

Summertime cocktail was amazing. The bartender was busy but nice. After watching him I decided on a drink over dessert. Our server was also amazing. Very attentive and knowledgeable. Food was mid if I'm being honest. Homemade ketchup was the best part of the meal lol Ordered rare steak and was advised to get med rare then it was cooked uneven. Salad was just ok. Fries were perfect with that ketchup. Lots of gluten friendly options. Staff was knowledgeable and checked in when there might have been conflict.

Fete lives up to all the excitement and positive reviews it has received. Our waitress walked us through the entire menu to point out what had gluten in it and what did not. My wife and I split the special beet salad with grass-fed local steak and the Biggie Small Koji-Brined Ludovico Chicken. The sauce on the chicken was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. One of the best meals on our visit to Oahu.

We had an enjoy lunch. We were seated in an overflow area adjacent to the kitchen which was marvelous. It gave us the opportunity to watch the chef at work and witness staff interaction. They were a great team. If we weren’t seated near the kitchen we wouldn’t have known the chef was a winner of the James Beard Award! Our service was exceptional and our food delicious. I had a beet salad that wasn’t on the menu which offered an interesting mix of greens avocado and beets. I couldn’t place the flavors of the dressings but enjoyed it. My husband had the Korean Bavette which I sampled and it was delicious. Gluten free options were available and food allergies were taken seriously. A pleasant dining experience!
