@fetehawaii ‘s farm-to-table / new continental cuisine 🌴- Waikīkī love child @whitesandshotel

Chef Robynne Maii and the highly regarded Fête team is responsible for developing the innovative cocktail and food menu at Waikiki's newest restaurant inside White Sands Hotel — Heyday.

With a stylish alfresco dining area and new-continental inspired food and ingredients, Heyday takes the traditional elements of Continental cuisine and gives them a modern and international twist like you've never seen (or tasted) before. Our bamboo bar is the only venue on the island where you can swing (yes, you read that correctly) while sipping on cocktails inspired by Hawaiian flavors and fruits.

Combined with the retro aesthetic of White Sands Hotel and featuring Hawaiian music with a contemporary flair, you will be transported back to the 1960's thanks to this new dining experience.

Very limited menu with four main entrees along with sandwiches and salads to which skewers/steak could be added. The waiter was very quiet and a bit strange who seemed to have knowledge of the food but definitely not wine (he described one red wine as “darker” than their pinot noir). Two different reds served definitely came out of the refrigerator. It was okay for us because it was a very low key environment, which was what we needed, and the 2 year old with us had room to roam around without disturbing others

Dakota is a fun and helpful server. This is the cutest place you’ll find. It’s unique. It has an interesting menu and the drinks were great- the atmosphere is great. I’m giving it three stars because in my experience that’s the level of quality of food that we received. I highly recommend you go there because it’s so cute and fun. We enjoyed it and we’re definitely going back. Unique and fun!

Wow what a trip back into the past! Hey day is exactly what its name says. Back to Simple Times delicious pleasures feeling like a tourist back in the old days of Waikiki we highly recommend you're giving this quaint trendy funky restaurant a try. We will be back we are local and we loved the genre. Our only regret is the kids by the pool were exceedingly noisy other than that it was terrific

This might just be my favorite restaurant on the entire island. Everything was PERFECT from the food, drinks, live music, service, and just overall ambiance of the entire restaurant. From the second you start walking up to Heyday, the experience is beautiful. This place is totally worth the cost.. not to mention their drinks are strong as all mighty. I had about 5 small cocktails and i was on the verge or blacking out🤣 10000 stars for Heyday.

Absolutely loved it. My wife and I got seated immediately and our server was just a joy. He was very personable and super nice. On top of the service, the food was extraordinary. The gyoza was unlike any I have ever had, the cheese bread was an amazing 4 cheese blend, and the curry chicken clubs were just perfect. The drinks were out of this world too, such craftsmanship in mixology is definitely appreciated. I was a little shocked at the bill but it was expected for such an amazing experience. Will be returning on the next visit to Honolulu

The food and atmosphere were incredible. The Mahi-mahi was superb and the steak was cooked to perfection. The relaxed vibe is a nice change from the busy beach area. Nicole was fantastic and personable and made us feeling like we were more than just a quick table! Thank you for a great meal and experience!

The staff here is as good as it gets. Friendly, attentive and welcoming. The decor is fantastic and the drinks are on point. The perfect spot to meet friends or go on a date. Tucked away, a little hidden oasis in Waikiki. We love coming here and it only gets better.

A quirky old time Hawaiian style place, right out of the 60’s and off the beaten tourist track. Great ambiance, good food, very limited menu. Ery different than the huge resort hotels, much more intimate and caring. Its not cheap but I didn't feel like they had their hand in my pocket. I would go back

There is no need to make a reservation before 5:00 PM apparently. There is no hostess, hotel staff seems a bit confused when you ask them about reservations. You just go straight towards the bar and sit wherever. Service is a bit slow but they are nice.

Hi, I put in the res notes that it was my girlfriends birthday and for a candle to be presented at dessert. Not only did the dessert take 30 minutes come out, but it was candle less and tasted cold. The app came out 10 minutes after our main entrees after asking for it to come out before. Other than those two things the food was good and the ambience was pretty good.

The ambience was great-- reminiscent of Waikiki 50-60 years ago. And even though it's managed by the team that runs Fête in Honolulu, this was a far cry from that experience. Drinks were hit or miss (the Mai Tai was awful), and the food was mediocre at best. Service was awkward to boot, which is unfortunate given the potential of an otherwise special location.
