Fete in HNL did not disappoint! Inside it looks like a nice French inspired cafe with beautiful artwork. Service was incredible - staff knew exactly what they were recommending. I got the Korean style steak and Fete classic salad. Both were delicious! I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes. read more

I had heard a lot of good things about Fête, maybe I tried the wrong thing? I got their carbonara and the olive oil cake with the caramel on top with the rocky road icecream. The carbonara was just extremely cheesy and thick, but did not have much flavor. The only thing that gave it flavor was the pancetta. It tasted better on the second day after I microwaved it surprisingly. My friend got the local pork ragu and that was much better. The olive oil cake was interesting. The top with the caramel was very bitter and I was surprised. The cake itself was good though. We also ordered the rocky road icecream because they said it won an award (?) and that was really good. I would order the ice cream again. The service was great, kept checking on us and refilling our waters. We sat outside and it's a very small area, would recommend being on the inside. read more

We went to Fete last night before the Hawaii Symphony show. Is was very crowded and that may be the reason that the one dish wasn't quite up to their usual very high standards. The risotto was quite tasty. The dessert was fabulous. Our server did an excellent job taking care of so many customers all there at the same time. Unfortunately the lamb chops were overcooked and almost a beef jerky dried out texture. That's was too bad because I love lamb chops. I spoke with our server and she alerted the cooks that they could have finished off the lamb about 10-15 minutes earlier. The flavor was fantastic as evident in the accompanying vegetables which were awesome. All in all, this one bad experience will not stop us from coming back again. We appreciate the manager taking care of us. Aloha read more

First time in Hawaii but we had heard about Fete all the way back in Texas! We decided to stop in for an early dinner as we tried to adjust to the new time zone and we are so glad we did! We were greeted right away and seated by our very friendly server. The restaurant is very cute and inviting and larger than it initially appears as you enter. We started with the special of the day which was a delicious salad with Greens, Beets, Crisp Shallots, and Avocado. It was light and absolutely delicious. We then had the Smoked Ono Club which was super tasty and the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich. For the Korean Chicken the taste was absolutely on point, but I would have liked just a bit less sauce so the bun could have better held together. Overall it was a delightful meal and a great start to our vacation! read more

Cute restaurant on the corner of Hotel and Nuuanu. Had an outside table which was great, if a bit noisy with the cars, buses and lawn blowers around. Enjoyed a relaxed lunch with good food. The service was unusually slow. The amazing dish was the crispy potatoes with house made catsup...so delicious! The beet salad was delicious as well. The special veal salad was only ok but the burger looked good. read more

Another wonderful dinner at Fete. Perfect place to eat at before shows at Hawaii Theater. Highly recommend making reservations on Open Table because its popular. They have a full bar with great wine and cocktails. The service is wonderful and our server was very efficient and reviewed the house specials for the day. We ordered the sweet land farm tomme cheese which comes with toasted bread, shaved aged gouda cheese and a delicious homemade jam spread a perfect starter. I had the kotean fried chicken sandwich which was delicious and we also had the pork ragu rigatoni which is also one of my faves, large portion savory and delicious. We had their coconut cake for dessert which was very tasty but a little dense. Wonderful dinner and service, one of my favorites downtown. Also they are dog friendly in their outdoor seating area just make a note of it when you make your reservation. read more

Located in Chinatown on a corner by The Daley, Fete is a nice spot with red umbrellas for some outdoor seating. We checked in outside at a table with a staff member. The inside is not super large but there are a decent number of tables and bar seating. The people working were sweet and timely. We sat inside. There were a good amount of flies in the restaurant, which may have just been because there have been a lot of flies lately. We decided to get the gouda cheese spread with the bread, which was good. The bread was nice and crispy, and the jam-tasting spread was sweet. I got the beet salad with crispy chicken. The salad was yummy, with a dressing that was a good acidic/salty flavor to juxtapose the beets. There was a good amount of salad and chicken as well. The chicken was also quite good. There were a number of other menu items that looked good, like the pastas and sandwiches. We look forward to returning! read more

If you're looking for a spot to celebrate or just want really good food, this is definitely a place to check out. We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and the food was phenomenal. I'll be honest--the service wasn't the best. We had a reservation for 8 and our table wasn't ready when we got there. They ended up squeezing us into a corner table, which kind of made it feel like maybe our table had been given away. Not the best start, but once the food came out, it honestly made up for it. We tried quite a bit on the menu and everything was fresh, clearly made to order, and full of flavor. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and locally sourced. My husband got the bacon-wrapped mahi special and I got the scallops. Both were cooked perfectly--tender, soft, and juicy. Neither dish was chewy at all, which can definitely happen with scallops or mahi if they're overcooked. The cocktails were also really good. I had an amaretto sour and it was made the right way with egg white, which I love. It was easily one of the best I've had. So while the service could use a little work, the food was a solid 10/10 and I'd absolutely come back for that alone. ENJOY! read more

Came here for a birthday lunch on Saturday at 12pm. The restaurant was full inside, glad we had a booking for inside because the seating outside is right on the street and would not have been enjoyable. Decor and interior was bright and trendy. The seating is very, very close together. The music is also pretty loud so just be aware if you're looking for somewhere more intimate and quiet. Our server was Summer who was a delight. Very attentive and sweet. We got the fete spreads for starter and the portions of spread were large. We had to order another round of toast to finish it (additional $2). Unfortunately the first batch of toast was slightly burnt but not inedible. For mains I got the Korean bavette and my husband got the Korean fried chicken sandwich. We got the crispy potatoes too. The fried chicken sandwich was great, really flavorful and juicy. He said it was a bit messy to eat but still great. My bavette was ok. Cooked great, medium rare as ordered but as it is a cheaper cut of meat, it was still quite chewy. I wouldn't say it was worth $43. My favourite part of the meal was the crispy fried rice. A scoop of rocky road ice cream for dessert was the perfect amount to end our meal. Very chocolatey which is fine by us. We had the pineapple ice tea which I wouldn't bother ordering. Hardly any flavor. It was an enjoyable lunch but will most likely not be back considering we are spoilt for choice for restaurants in Hawaii. Price wise (aside from the bavette), very good so worth a visit if you haven't been before. read more

Came here for our anniversary while on holiday on Oahu and so, so happy we did! The space is modern, bright, and welcoming. We sat at a table near the bar and enjoyed looking at all the spirits they had available We ordered a plate of "spreads" served with bread as an appetizer. It came with ricotta & honey, eggplant & red pepper, and a macadamia nut one. They were very delicious, we ordered more bread as we didn't want to leave one bite uneaten For dinner we had the quinoa "burger" with fries and the mushroom risotto. Both are worth coming back to Honolulu for. The burger was, for our taste preference, a bit too fried but it was still one of the best we've had in a while I also got the house made lemonade which was refreshing and light without being too overly sweet Everyone working was very nice and overall it was such a great experience at a local place where quality is obviously paramount Highly recommend and will be back next time when on the island! read more

Was excited to try this place for a very long time! Everyone felt the apps/pupus were better than the actual main courses. FOOD 4/5 - The apps/pupus were better than the main entrees. - Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich = juicy and moist chicken but Kochujang sauce falls flat and Asian pear slaw wish they had more crunch. Too much sauce and the bread was soggy quick - Chicken Liver Mousse - SOLID no complaints here! Fête Salad and Basil Caesar - SOLID salads, fresh and crunchy! - Korean Market Steak - FAILED, didnt cook correctly 2x they tried and their sides were better: ginger scallion fried rice, cabbage namu - Pork Ragu - PASS - too salty for me - Kanpachi Fritters - not bad at all - French Onion Grilled Cheese, featuring fontina, smoked mozzarella, cheddar, tomato compote, served with a beef au jus for dipping = SUPER DELISH DESSERT 5/5 AMAZING ONO! - Rocky Road Ice Cream Manoa chocolate, house made marshmallows, dragée macnuts - Frozen Kulolo Sorbet Kualoa poi, coconut milk, black strap rum, vegan friendly - Olive Oil Cake Citrus olive oil cake, yuzu caramel, candied calamansi LOVED the add-on of candied calamansi SERVICE & AMBIENCE 4/5 Beautiful interior, tables, build out at Fete.

This is a trendy Chinatown restaurant that i have been wanting to try for a long time! Came on a holiday so frée street parking! There is inside and outside dining! Love the huge vertical succulent plant wall. Inspires me to want one!! Ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara: Pancetta, Portugese sausage, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino Ramano. Too salty! Only 4 stars cause they need to do something about the "flies"! For a James Beard restaurant, please take care of it! read more

Truly one of my all-time favorite restaurants in Honolulu. There's a reason this place is a James Beard Award winner! We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and every single dish reminded me why Fête never misses. We started with sparkling wine that was crisp, bubbly, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet - literal perfection. Then came the beef tartare, which I kid you not is the best beef tartare I've had on island to date. Nothing has topped it! The texture is smooth (not chunky), the flavors are perfectly blended, and the portion is great for just yourself or to share. It's usually served with French bread, but since I can't have it, they brought cucumbers instead and honestly? Still hit so hard. The Fête salad was fresh, light, and ideal for sharing. They are also extremely allergy-friendly and conscious, which makes the experience even better. Now... the Coconut Kaua'i Prawns. WOW. Truly the star of the show. Lightly crispy, perfectly cooked, generous portion, and the flavor is INSANE. This is a non-negotiable order. You need to try this dish! Other hits at the table: - Lup Cheong fried rice (comforting and flavorful) - Korean fried chicken (my friend said it was incredible) - Crispy potatoes (elevated, perfectly cooked, and honestly delightful) - Chez Burger (confirmed delicious by my friend) To top it all off, they surprised us with Dorie Greenspan's chocolate cake for my friend's birthday, and it disappeared fast! If you love chocolate, this dessert is a must. Fête is thoughtful, celebratory, consistent, and just so well done. Perfect for birthdays, date nights, or when you want to impress out-of-town friends. Forever one of my favs read more

3.5 stars. I've heard lots of people raving about fete so I had high expectations, but I thought everything was a little too pricey for what it was and not that impressive. We came the day after Xmas and they were out of a lot of things, which is totally understandable because markets were closed and the kitchen had the day off, but still limited our options. We were also the first people in the restaurant (had an 11am reservation) and were sat at a slightly strange table right next to the door. We shared the spreads, which were good but not mind blowing, hamachi fritters, and the carrots which were a Christmas special. The carrots were my favorite thing, but still not life changing. I had the smoked Ono club, which was fine but also not incredible and not that different from something I could make at home. One person in our party had the quinoa burger and said it was especially dry and not very flavorful. For desserts, we got three scoops of rocky road to share, as well as the chocolate rum raisin cake. The rocky road ice cream was definitely the hit of the meal. I personally liked the kulolo ice cream that came with the cake better - it had a delicious strong taro flavor, but I'm also not a huge chocolate ice cream fan and the rest of my party preferred the rocky road. Overall, I'm not really sure that I'd return here. I wasn't that impressed by their sandwiches and thought the true entrees seemed quite pricey, and Chinatown has lots of other good restaurants that I like better. read more

We had a lovely experience here! The vibes felt perfect for a small get together in a nice intimate setting. We were seated right by the kitchen in the back with a view of the street. What we ordered: - Steak Tartare: I typically don't go for steak tartare on the menu but the ingredients sounded too interesting to pass up. It also came with a side of toast with anchovy butter ~ yum ~ The bread was very filling - Peas: This seasonal dish was very good. It was cooked well and balanced nicely with the kanpachi - Pan Roasted Kanpachi: The fish had a fatty and creamy texture! I liked the searing that soaked up all the brown butter vinaigrette read more

Arrived at 8pm and were seated immediately at a front table near the entrance. Our server greeted us promptly and walked us through the specials. We started with cocktails and shrimp esquite an appetizer which was refreshing and delightful. For entrées, I had the Chaz Burger-absolutely amazing-with wedge fries that complemented it perfectly. The spaghetti carbonara was rich, complex, and savory. Ambience was upbeat and lively. My favorite standby in Chinatown. read more

My mom got the prawns which were HUGE and at the suggestion of our server, an order of lupcheong fried rice as the prawns don't come with a side. All of it was on point. Service was stellar. read more

Wow, we finally got to try Fete and we were not disappointed. I had the Beef Bourguignon Pot Pie and it was everything I hoped it would be. The garlic scallion fried rice was good as well. My wife had the squash risotto with crispy prosciutto and she enjoyed it. Plan to call ahead to get reservations, as they're usually booked. Josh was our waiter and he was great to talk to and explained all of the dish well. You'll need to find street parking, use one of the municipal lots, or Mark's garage.

I came to Fête in Chinatown for a friend's birthday, and it completely exceeded my expectations! I wasn't the one doing most of the ordering for the appetizers, so we ended up trying a few dishes I normally wouldn't have chosen myself, but I am so glad we did! The ulu appetizer was to die for. The flavors were incredible and practically melted in your mouth. We also had the carrot appetizer with hummus, which was another favorite of mine, along with the Sweet Land Farm salad to share. For my main, I ordered the Korean steak, which was unique and really good, but I have to admit the appetizers were the standout dishes of the meal. To finish, I had their famous rocky road ice cream. We were one of the first groups there when they opened for dinner on a Sunday at 4:00 PM, but the restaurant filled up quickly, which says a lot. The staff was wonderful, and the ambiance made the experience even better. I especially appreciated the small details from our server, like giving us handbag holders for our purses, wiping the table and replacing our silverware after each meal. Chinatown is not usually an area I enjoy going to because it can be a bit inconvenient for me and scary at night, but I would gladly come back for Fête. In fact, I already made a reservation to bring my boyfriend because I loved it so much. 10/10, would absolutely recommend. read more

Place is crowded - a reservation is definitely helpful. I am not familiar with Honolulu geography, but Fete is in an older part of the city that is transitional. The ambiance is clean and modern. The service is thoughtful and engaging without being intrusive. Menu is focused, but a good amount of choices. I opted for the fried chicken. Crispy, flavorful, and juicy. Loved it! When in Honolulu, I would definitely go back. N*joy! read more

This place is tiny, loud, and CRAMPED. It isn't fine dining but it is definitely not a casual sit down either. They are trying to be somewhere in between but the space cannot handle it. It is so packed that you cannot even hear the person sitting right in front of you. The experience was a complete waste of money and I literally feel robbed. The ulu appetizer had very dry polenta and the pork ragu was terrible ... the sauce and the meat did not taste good at all I could not even finish my meal. Somehow even the Fete spreads were also poorly thought out. They give you all this spread, not nearly enough bread to eat it with, and the bread they give you is burnt to a crisp. To top it off, I paid $14 for a chocolate cake that was bone dry, the kulolo ice cream that just did not taste good, and the streusel was like eating sand. How you gonna call it Kulolo ice cream when you could not even taste the kulolo in it?? Fete feels like they are coasting on their reputation and charging premium prices for a subpar experience. For a James Beard winner and a 2025 Local Champion, the food is completely lacking. I will never believe those awards again. Save your money and go to a real local spot that actually knows how to season food. read more

Never thought about eating here before but I received a gift certificate from a coworker. So my boyfriend and I decided to try the place and did take out. We ordered the Korean chicken burger and took it home. I'm not sure how this happened, but look at my picture. One side of my top bun was twisted. ????!!!!! My boyfriend's burger was fine. But i felt robbed. I cut off the side that was twisted, which shows in the pic on the far right the twisted bun. Someone explain to me how this could've happened. How does the bun get twisted like that? Did the cook not see that before wrapping up my burger? Or was that some sort of cruel joke being played in me? The taste was good but now I have mixed feelings about returning... being that this was my first time ever eating here. I gave 3 stars because my boyfriend's burger was fine but I'm still perplexed as to what happened. read more

Amazing from top to bottom. Reservations on weekend nights can be hard to come by. We were at the theater for an event and I could t snag a reservation. Until I did. Checked and they had one in 20 minutes. For a high top, which we didn't mind. Walked over and it was BUSY! Happy busy. Everyone smiling and laughing, even the staff. We were called for our table and walked in. To the back. Where a two top and a bar like table were. We were right by the kitchen. Watching everything happen. And it was so neat. It was loud, but so enjoyable. We ordered pineapple ice tea, the Korean fried chicken sandwich and the Korean steak. Everything was amazing. Fries came with the sandwich, and garlic fried rice with the steak. We ate every single bite. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The chicken sandwich was crispy but juicy inside. We finished with two scoops of the most amazing rocky road ice cream. I can't wait to go back. read more

Birthday Boy wanted to dine here so we made reservations for our party of eight. Glad that the restaurant could accommodate us and totally understand the automatic gratuity. We started with the steak tartare and Fete spreads. Both were served nicely on gently toasted bread. Everyone in our group enjoyed the tartare and baba ghanoush! Next we had the pan fried kanpachi and coconut prawns. These were okay, a little underwhelming. When the Korean steak was served, everyone perked up and fully enjoyed that. This was cooked to perfection and tasted great. The highlights of our dinner, included the pork Ragu and their special of the day, Lamb Cavatelli. In both dishes, the pasta was cooked just right. The sauce in both, incredibly tasty! Although our table seemed awfully close to others, it is understandably crowded and noisy. Our group enjoyed dinner then did a little birthday bar hopping. read more

Fete is a Chinatown restaurant serving up farm-to-table "New American" food with a glocal (global + local) twist. We made a reservation for 4 day of and were able to snag an outdoor patio table which was perfect for us so we could bring our dog. First off, the staff were so amazing not only to us but to our dog Lando. Giving him water and dog treats! Even the dog treats were single ingredient ahi treats! I started off with a cocktail, their Miso You-- with mezcal, gin, sfumato, grapefruit, lime, and agave miso syrup. So good! Starting off we got the fete spreads with the most delicious freshly baked bread. Babaganoush, mac nut tapenade, and ricotta topped with honey. My favorite main dish of the night was the pork chop. 10/10 highly recommend this dish! Such a simple little thing, but it was precut perfectly. Probably the best pork chop I've ever had! Tutu Maii's Korean Steak is a hyper local dish that feels really homey but elevated. Pork ragu is the dish that I saw the most hype around so I had to try it. For seafood, we ordered the Kaua'i prawns which come ala carte so we paired it with their ginger-scallion fried rice. To top it all off we got their Kulolo rum ice cream. Nuff said, it was so good! read more

The case of the missing Chaz burger and fries ...wait until the end ; ) Lunch with my sisters today at Fete. We had reservations for 11:15 am. Upon arrival, our seats were at the counter bar? Interesting, as our feet did not reach the ground lol. Fortunately, after our orders were taken, there was a cancellation and we were seated at a table meant for two, not three. Our dishes barely fit on top of the table lol. But at least our feet touched the floor. A cozy and fun lunch with my sisters. Nonetheless, service was fantastic here. 5/5 stars. Very attentive service here. Our servers removed our used dishes immediately (servers knew the table was small for three), from our table. Water and ice tea refilled. Fete had a full house so this was impressive. The noise level was loud due to the number of people. Ambiance was a 3 out of 5 stars, for cramped seating and loud noise. Our orders arrived. I ordered the Chaz burger with fries. My sisters ordered appetizers, salads and more. Long story, short, we enjoyed appetizers, salad, and there was way too much food. I couldn't eat my burger. Burger and some fries were placed in a take out container and then placed in the paper bag provided by our server. That was the last I saw of my Chaz burger and left over fries. Not sure what happened to my burger and fries? Maybe I forgot it at the restaurant or at one of the multiple establishments we visited after lunch?! Who knows?! One of my sisters had leftovers as well, so I asked her to look in her take out bag! Nada, zero, zilch. Ouch, that hurts, as the Chaz burger is $19 and fries $7! At least maybe a third of the fries were consumed by us. So there you have it, the case of the missing burger and some fries lol. All other dishes were fantastic and delectable! 5/5 stars. I need to return to try the Chaz burger! read more

I've been wanting to try Fete for years now. It has been on my list but again, being that it is in the middle of Chinatown, it has been hard to find an occasion or reason to make my way here. I came here during lunch with my coworkers and we made sure to call in a reservation, I heavily recommend doing the same as I was told that they often get pretty busy and packed, bustling with people and loud around lunch time. The waitress was friendly and told us about their specials of the day, one of them being a grilled cheese sandwich that two of my coworkers end up ordering. It looked really good and is something that I definitely would've otherwise ordered. I ordered the steak and frites. It was good but nothing crazy, the steak was just like any other steak. I actually didn't like the dallop of herb butter on top. It wasn't super flavorful and just made the steak feel a bit too "fatty" for me. The fries were delicious, it was crispy but had a nice amount of potato within. I also really liked their house-made ketchup. read more

Celebrated my sister's bday here. Made reservations and requested to sit inside. The inside is more on the loud side so can be hard to hear when talking. They are super popular so the tables are close to each other to maximize the space. Ordered the following: Cioppino- delicious and enjoyed the bread with the rouille. Ulu special - it tasted like the inside of a samosa (potato with spices) and was delicious with the fried okra Beet salad- very refreshing and good portion size Risotto - very good and i add the crispy prosciutto for texture. One of my favorite dishes of the night as it was cooked well and had great flavor / texture Ragu - very tasty and the pork was tender Carbonara - I think my least favorite dish of the night but purely because I didnt think there was anything amazing about it. Good but the other dishes were better Rocky road ice cream - very rich and delicious Lilikoi cheesecake - tangy and not too sweet. Had a good chocolate mousse on it. Service was good, plates were taken away and waters always refilled. I did think there was too long of a wait after the salad/soup was cleared before they brought out the entrees. Would come back to try the ono club, fete spreads, and the pot pie. Sunday - free street parking read more

I recently met up with a former colleague for dinner where once again I made reservations at a nearby restaurant on Nuuanu Ave only to be disappointed with the restaurant's error. With the combination of failure to resolve the situation and a disturbing attitude from the staff, we walked out. As we headed up Nuuanu Ave, I looked up and saw Fete. We decided to see if they would take in walk ins as the restaurant was rocking with almost a full house at 530pm. Our lucky stars lined up as someone just cancelled for a table for 2 so they had an opening. It was meant to be. From the get go, our waitress was so upbeat and informative. She briefed us the specials of the day where the fresh dill and honey glazed chicken wings got my attention. I was hesitant on what to order and after agreeing to share the wings, I ended up with the Chaz burger and my colleague got the fresh beet salad. It was very busy and quite loud as there we so many conversations going on. Was totally digging the upbeat and lively ambiance that had such great vibes going around. The waiting time was used catching up as she still works part time at the place we worked together and kept me posted with current conditions as the floral industry is unpredictable and dependent on Mother Nature and your suppliers. Food came and my colleague understands that when dining with me the camera first eats so I snapped pics. It was finally time to dig in. Those wings were earth shattering. So effen good. Get this if it's available. Use your hands and dig in. Served piping hot, the wings were so crunchy with a sweet and savory component. Taste buds were boosted to another level with the fresh dill fronds. My Chaz Burger, 8oz beef patty with fried onions, tomatoes and cheddar cheese with a garlic aioli, was also executed well. Patty was so juicy, seasoned and beefy. Yummy!!! It was a little messy eating the burger but so delicious. I also tried my friend's beet salad, that also had sliced avocado, was also delicious. The mixed greens provided texture contrast with the bite I like with arugula greens. We also had iced teas which were refreshing. I was stuffed after dinner but my ears rang when our server asked if we wanted dessert. She mentioned their house made rocky road ice cream and I was all in. Didn't hesitate with a double scoop. So good. Have had this multiple times and cleaned up my dish. #piggystatus Service was exceptional. Staff are trained well. So attentive and came to check up on us multiple times, including refilling our drinks and water. Overall, a great meal and grateful Fete took us in after the unfortunate error of the nearby restaurant. Such a great experience and so worthy of a solid 5-stars from me. read more

The food was tasty, creative and consistent - enjoyed the beet salad (from their specials) a lot! My server at the bar counter started strong, but disappeared completely.

A lot of the Yelp reviews were spot on. Crowded. Loud. Not good for people who get over-stimulated easily. Can't hear the person directly across from you. Bugs were flying around. Other Yelpers said they were flies and they were definitely noticeable inside. Not enough bread served with the Fete dips. Three people in our party and we had to order another plate of bread. Wish they had a bigger menu and more vegetarian options. Service? Not so good. Asked server her recommendation and she said "whatever is on the menu is good." Gee thanks. Also, timing of food was bad. Server told us we should order all at once (appetizers and entrees) to help with the timing for the kitchen instead of starting with salads and appetizers. We weren't nearly done with the appetizers when the entrees started coming to our table making for a rushed feel and having no space on the table for anything. Ambience-a 3 Service- a 2 Food-3 Value of food-4 I'm giving it a 4 star because of the value of the food. Otherwise I'd give it a 2 or 3. read more

Our experience read a little bit of a mixed bag. We had 4 adults and a one year old. On the plus side, the service was great. They use a high grade of fresh ingredients, and most of the food was very good. A few items were huge misses. For appetizers we got a beet salad, which was large and extremely good. We also ordered the toast with 3 types of spread which was unusual and very good also. But they don't give nearly enough toast so had to order more. I got a bowl of chopinio soup, which was very good. It came with 2 slices of toast covered in a massive amount of a bright yellow spread. It absolutely didn't go with the soup. And made a mess. I also got the Korean fried chicken sandwich. The taste was excellent. Extremely messy to eat. The messiness ruined the meal for me. It came with either fries or a side salad. I ordered the salad, and got the fries. They brought me out a salad but charged for it since I did eat a couple of the fries. They should take the fries off the menu, they would be barely okay in a cheap restaurant. My wife got the grilled cheese, huge portion and the cheese was a little overwhelming, but otherwise good. Robert got the prawns and a side order of fried rice. Both very good. Jared had the fish, he was blown away by the fish, the side vegetables, he didn't like. We got a pastry (lemon cheesecake with chocolate moose) which was good, not great, and a couple scoops of the rocky road ice cream which lived up to its hype. read more

Nice spot, lot of love and care goes into every dish and drink. You really cant go wrong with anything on the menu, but i LOVED the pork ragu, and I'm sure you will too. Nice vibes, gives old Havana with all the dark wood and lighting. Service was incredible too, was able to pick the waiter and chefs brain on some of the many creations we had. Definitely make it a priority to stop in! read more

Great place for a group. Everything is good and the portions are very generous. It makes a great for sharing so that you can try all the goodies on the menu. The menu is a blend of French and local flavors. read more

All the above needs improvement. Our party of 8 was seated "outside," which really was literally the sidewalk. In Honolulu' s Chinatown. That tells you a lot if you're familiar with the area. The sun was beating on us, the flies were swarming. The food was meh, I got the Korean fried chicken. The flavor was good but when I cut it in half, the thigh meat was so thick and unevenly cooked, it looked pink in the middle. I asked them to take it back. They brought it back 3 minutes later stating the kitchen checked the temp and said it's fine. It's cooked. I was bothered that they insisted I still eat it. I refused and said I don't want it and want to order something else. Ended up getting two appetizers but both were so deep fried, made me feel bloated. Wanted to like this place but not coming back. read more
