Fete

This the THE place if you want culture vibes dope music and the BEST food served downtown at 11pm on a Thursday. We enjoyed singing karaoke and absolutely devoured our plates: oxtail and salmon. The candied yams were to die for. Come check it out! Vanessa hooked it up and was the best server.

To preface, I had their lamb chops at the black outside block party and they were delicious. Tonight I’ve had one of the worst takeout dinners I’ve ever had. The oxtails are tough and they taste like they’ve been reheated from previous days. They do not taste fresh at all. I have five pieces of Brussels sprouts in a sea of shaved carrots (I ordered Brussel sprouts). The rice was the only redeeming quality about this meal. By far the worst Jamaican style food I’ve had. DO NOT ORDER TAKEOUT HERE. Quality control is definitely an issue considering others have reported the same issue with takeout.

Food was amazing! Vibe was perfect. We were an older crowd but still loved it. Went for birthday, our waitresses were amazing, the hostess were fabulous, even the security were friendly. The only 2 things that made me give them 4 stars were… our bartender was not great he was a bit rude and hard to get another drink from. Second was the drink prices were ridiculous. There was little alcohol in them and super sugary. I tried 3 different drinks because they didn’t have grey goose and each drink same.

Just came back from celebrating a birthday at Fete on Kingston and I had a grand old time !!!! The food is a 10. I had the lamb chops with a side of Mac and candied yams. My drink was a 10, i ordered the Suit and Tie. The music was jumping ! Above all, my server was the hostess with the mostest lol She was beautiful, super sweet and attentive. I'm telling you I had a great time. Thank you to my server, Vanessa. We really had a ball tonight

I recently celebrated my birthday at Fete in Kingston, Boston, MA, and I have to say, the experience was made unforgettable thanks to Mina, the host. From the moment I arrived, Mina was incredibly accommodating, especially as we waited for the rest of my party to arrive. She went out of her way to make me feel welcome and comfortable, her warmth and hospitality setting the perfect tone for the night. As the evening went on, Mina continued to check in with us, ensuring we were having a great time. Later in the night, she even surprised me with a personalized sign, which added such a special touch to my birthday celebration. Her thoughtfulness really made the night extra memorable. Honestly, I would return to Fete just to see Mina again. Her genuine kindness and attention to detail made the entire experience so much better. Thank you, Mina, for making my birthday truly amazing!

I had a wonderful dining experience at Fete thanks to the outstanding service provided by Stephanie and Kathy. Stephanie was attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist. She made sure my dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. When a minor issue arose, Kathy, the manager, stepped in immediately to resolve the problem. Her prompt and efficient handling of the situation demonstrated her commitment to customer satisfaction. Both Stephanie and Kathy's exceptional service made my visit to Fete a memorable one. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and even better service.

Food from Fête was absolutely delicious! From the moment we walked in, the space felt warm and inviting, like having dinner at my auntie’s restaurant. Despite it being a busy night, the service was exceptional. We called ahead to let them know we’d be a few minutes late due to traffic, and the hostess was so kind, ensuring we were seated promptly upon arrival. We made it just in time for their half-off appetizers and ordered a variety: nachos, meatballs, sushi rolls, lamb chops, and corn. Every single dish was outstanding! The nachos, made with plantain chips, were a unique and flavorful twist. While a few chips weren’t as crisp as we’d hoped, the taste and flavors easily earned a 12 out of 10. The lamb chops were the star of the show – absolutely to die for! If you enjoy Caribbean food, these chops are a must-try. They had a rich brown stew flavor and were so tender they fell right off the bone. Even the pickiest eater in our group was impressed. The drinks were top-notch – strong, flavorful, and well-crafted. The spicy cabbage slaw added a perfect kick with its incredible flavor. For anyone who loves Afro-Caribbean cuisine, Fête delivers an elevated dining experience that feels like a modern take on your mom’s homemade meals. And let’s not forget the vibes! The music was on point, creating a lively yet comfortable atmosphere without the distraction of hookah smoke – perfect for dinner (save the club vibes for another time). All in all, Fête offers an unforgettable experience that combines amazing food, great service, and a welcoming ambiance. Highly recommend!

Overall fete is really great restaurant, this was my first time going and I would go again! I went on a Thursday with a friend to try it out, we ended up going on an event night so i definitely say check the website before going ! It was a little crowded n a lot of the servers was occupied but even still it has an amazing atmosphere for a girls night out or birthday dinner. The food I would give a 8/10 i got the oxtail with mac n cheese, pikliz & tostones the oxtail fell right off that bone the flavor was just a lil simple , Mac tasted more so like garlic bread but it was still a over all good meal portion size could’ve been better . My friend got Rasta pasta which was really good and they gave you sm meat not enough pasta and personally I like my Rasta pasta spicy . Flavors are there was just expecting that wow moment. Overall a lovely place with amazing drinks that definitely was worth the price !

it was such a great experience I had fun and the service was amazing. Especially the waiters Mina and Luisa they accomodated me whenever I needed anything. Whenever I went to the bar Rich the bartender was so precise and he didn't take too long to get to me at the bar. Love that place

Food always good the vibes/atmosphere feels right .. mina the host was very polite, respectful and patient definitely a people person Overall fete nice .. just wish I can get my pancakes lol

It depends what you are coming here for. We came here on a Saturday night about 9pm , just missed the dinner menu I guess so we had the late night menu. Which was unfortunate because we were actually hungry lol. So this place use to be a lounge/club before the remake. It's the SAME exact vibe. I went with 2 of my close friends but this is not the place to have a conversation since music is loud( and I'm not an old person complaining about noise lol) music was good tho. Food was tasty but the PRICE???? gratuity included for inattentive service. $32 for 3-4 skimpy lamb chops. . My friend didn't get half her meal (which was just another app) until we had to wave down one of the servers. And the same for the drinks. I would come here again as last resort but just to be by the bar to dance to music not for the food. $231 for three people Just another place to look "aesthetically cool"

Overview: solid food, ok ambiance, service needs improvements. Wagyu burger(4/5) presentation A+ Snapper burger (4.5/5) Jerk lamb chops (5/5) insanely good! Go a to go order too! Wings (3.5/5) had the henny sauce and lemon pepper sauce for dipping Shrimp and calamari (4/5) shrimp was amazing l, calamari was ok Old fashioned (3.5/5) delicious but not that strong The service started off ok but went downhill fast even though it wasn't busy at 6pm on a Saturday. Auto 20% tip even though we were just a party of 2. It sucks to wait on your waitress for a long time just to see her hanging out with people relaxing. It was kind of cold in there given its December in Boston and when they turned on the AC all the tables looked around at each other like why put on the AC. Music volume and TVs staying in didn't stay consistent. The food definitely carried my review/opinion they have to invest in ambiance and customer service a but more.

This place is beyond rude. First they tried to overcharge me for a drink that I didn't order... bartender tried to hide the bottle. Then another night they attempted to upcharge me for an admission fee for the last 45 min. The door man was an older maybe Hispanic or CV man... extremely rude and waved his hand to me like I was a peasant.

This has has to be the best restaurant I visited this year. The staff were great from the start with the security who checked my ID upon arrival. I was seated immediately for my 7:30 reservation. From outside I was not expecting the restaurant to be spacious and aesthetically pleasing. I believe there were two bars and I loved the red lighting. There were tevelsions and a dj. From reading other reviews I was worried the music would be extremely loud, however, I was to carry normal dinner conversation. The music selections ranged with a cool mellow vibe until about 9pm. That's when I notice a shift in music which was pop/hip hop. People started singing to the music so it appeared loud but honestly was a vibe! I feel like my table ordered the whole left side of the menu! The tapas were so good we a second round. My favorite was the honey garlic shrimp which was sweet, spicy, and had nice char on the shrimp. Not far behind was the salt and pepper shrimp calamari. This dish crunky and flavorful. I was completed amazed by the vegetable ragoon. Jerk Lamb Chops were tender and juicy. The jerk flavor was good with a manageable spice level. Itwas just enough to be jerk without being overbearing. Crab cakes were delicious. I appreciated the amount of sauce that was provided. Our waitress Steph was patient and made great recommendations. I was there celebrating a friend's birthday. Just when I thought my waitress forgot about the birthday celebration the music changed to a birthday song proceeded by the staff making an entrance with a birthday dessert as if it were bottle service. This was such a fun moment! Each time I received a drink, even if it was the same drink, it came in a different glass. Still delicious! There was an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill which was a party of four. The service was great so this was not a bother. Thanks Steph!

I came across the restaurant on tik-tok and was super excited to try it out based off the food presentation and beautiful restaurant. Both still stand true but the food was a let down taste wise. I had ordered the lobster roll and it was not appetizing what so ever and ended up not finishing it which was disappointing because I love lobster rolls. Aside from the food being bland, the menu seemed inconsistent and didn't really have a theme. I'm assuming since the restaurant is really new they are still figuring things out which is fine but would have been nice if the menu had a consistent theme and more options for food. Rating this a three star experience based off the fact that my friend and I were rushed to eat due to them being overbooked. Right from the start, it was clear that the service here was in a hurry. The waiters seemed way too overwhelmed, and they made sure we knew it. We were constantly reminded to hurry which created this weird, tense vibe that didn't sit well with us. It felt like they cared more about rushing us out the door than making sure we had a good time. If I come back I probably won't order the food again so I recommend just sticking to drinks. Ambiance was nice up until they had really loud music which made it hard to talk over.

Overall rating: NOT AUTHENTIC 2 STARS Food: amazing cocktails but there is nothing Haitian about the food, I went with 5 other Haitians so they can vouch for me the spaghetti was oily and spicy (the closest thing to Haitian food) the chicken, crab ragoon, and lamb were not Haitian Texture: crispy chicken but it lacked flavor and heat Pricing: $16 for cocktails and appetizers ranged from $13-16, entrees were from $19-30 Ambiance: The ambiance very red, the lighting is dark with mainly the bar being lit up and red lights here and there Felt like I was in Amsterdam Seating & Parking: a few street parking spots, plenty of seating by the window, bar, and back rooms Service: the service was great they were welcoming, the bodyguards/ security were a bit unsettling Music: rnb, afro beats Bathrooms: women and men bathrooms in the back Final comments: "great cocktail BUT WHERE IS THE HAITIAN??" :my friend Denise

Food was well cooked and seasoned. The atmosphere is cool, medium lighting which is perfect for me because I hate lights. The music was a cool mix of different genres. I had a nice time. The drinks was ok but too pricey for me, $23 for a shot is a lot.

Service. Music. Food. Staff. Bravo!! Can't wait to visit again. Fun vibes. Great atmosphere.

It was our anniversary, and we wanted to find a nice spot suspended in my fiancé, chose a great place they had, Amazing service amazing food overall andamazing experience! It was our anniversary, and we wanted to find a nice spot suspended in my fiancé, chose a great place they had, Amazing service amazing food overall andamazing experience!

Rayshelle is the best bartender ever. She's very down to earth and always has a beautiful smile on. Go check her out at the bar

The food was really good and music and vibe made it a cool atmosphere. The only downside is that we weren't told ahead of time that there's a required 20% gratuity fee on meals and if you want to split a check, you have to do the math and tell them the numbers yourself. We were only 3 people so I was surprised to see the gratuity fee, but I enjoyed everything else. My friend got a free cheesecake for her birthday so that topped our night a bit :)

Great Ambience love the food the service was lit . Haitian Inspired taste and flavor. Waiters were nice and professional no attitudes.

I love this place, I ended up going there 3 weekends in a row. The food is amazing, the bartenders are pretty nice. Security is rude though. It's nice inside and the music is always good! Highly recommend.

Came here for my bday and had a great experience for brunch. We engaged with one of the managers / owners who showed us great customer service. We all enjoyed our food (lamb chops, wings / waffles, and the pitcher of drinks were the stars). Def check out Fete when you're in Boston! The only thing I'd say is to update the hours on the yelp page.

The food was good! The drinks were a bit pricey! I ordered a mocktail and it ended up being 13/14$ but my friend got regular cocktail for $18. Mocktails should not be more than $10, especially since it's just juice lol The vibes were immaculate and it was fun though!

Last night was my first time here. I won't say it was bad, but I wouldn't call it excellent either. Fete touts itself as a Haitian restaurant. There wasn't a plethora of Haitian dishes on the menu. Maybe the Zo-spaghetti. But the most popular menu item were the Jerk Lamb Chops. Jerk seasoning is obviously a Jamaican food item. So there's that. I ordered the honey garlic shrimp, these shrimp are excellent. Get a double order. Mac and Cheese was hit or miss. Mine wasn't burnt, but everyone else's was. The drinks were decent enough, heavy pours from the bar. So you will get lit with ease. And for $20 a pop? You should be. The service leaves a lot to be desired. Our waitress was very busy and sometimes a bit slow to return to our table. They do have a good DJ and the restaurant pretty much turns into a club after 11pm. It's not a bad place, but the experience didn't leave me wondering when I'll return. I know I won't be.

First thing s/o to Boston black and his people !!!!!!! Great food and environment!!! The DJ played great music!!!! Huge portions!!!!!

Horrible service and food and they will tip themselves $25 for doing absolutely nothing , and the waiter never asked if I need anything or if I was okay

Tonight was smooth & a nice vibe! Kelsey recommended the purse drink which came out smoking & she also made sure we were sat at a table promptly after arriving. Our server Pamela was 10/10. Pamela was attentive all the while serving a big party and our table at the same time!Thank you Fete for the amazing late night snacks (lamb chops and shrimp). Everything was great and music was 10/10, so shout out to the DJ tonight.

Had a good tapas night.. minus one of the servers being super tipsy! The vibe and music was a great touch to the night.

So instead of properly responding to a customer that was inconvenienced by you.. you restrict it so my comment cannot be seen on your social media so instead I'm going to leave reviews where I can because you will not silence me .I called left a voicemail, confirmed via text to show up to a sign that you were closed. I didn't receive a call, text or email nor did you post your closing on social media. Understandably life happens but as a business you have an obligation to communicate someway with your customers. Finding a place last minute for a birthday dinner for 10 on a Saturday in Boston is impossible. We all said well maybe something happened but still no communication and that was on 4/13. You have lost MANY repeat customers not due to life happening but due to your ignorance in follow up and lack of customer service.

The food was amazing!! Priced accurate for the quality. Music was fun and made me want to dance all night. Our server, Stephanie C, was attentive, kind and always made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend if you like a lowkey, yet fun atmosphere!! Will come again.

Spent the night in Boston yesterday as apart if the road trip I'm currently on. My sister saw an instagram post about this place and decided to make a reservation since we weren't able to make the one we had for Park 54. The place is beautiful, which gives it a good vibe. However, that's where it stops. Once we were seated, it went downhill. Although the waitress was nice, she was not attentive. It took a while for her to take our drink order and double the time to take our food order. I guess this place also serves as a lounge as well because they stop serving food after a certain time. We got there at 9PM (time of our reservation) and it took her a while to even approach us. She made sure to let us know the kitchen was stopping food at 9:45 which caught us by surprise because she didn't take our food order until about 9:30 and we kindly let her know we had been ready to order but was waiting on her. When the drinks finally arrived, there was hair in my sisters glass so she had it sent back and had to wait yet again for another. We waited for so long for our food as well. A couple who was seated about 20 minutes after us got their food before ours. When the food finally came out, it came out separately. My sisters came out first. We all ordered the jerk lamb chops but she had a side of mac & cheese. I won't lie, the lamb chops were sooo good! However she said the mac & cheese was horrible. Its made with ziti noodles lol the other orders od lamb chops came about 7 minutes later. Not going to lie, I was so hungry from waiting I quickly ate them before even taking a picture. It was only 4 chops so once they hit the table, they were gone in 2.2 seconds lol. I had also ordered the grilled oysters which came out about 15 minutes after my lamb chops arrived and after seeing and trying one of them, I wish they never came out at all. They were HORRIBLE. They had the grated cheese on top you use for spaghetti and it was hard. I ate two but was so turned off I couldn't finish. There were still 4 left. When our waitress came back over, I told her how bad they were. She just smiled and said sorry. At that point we were so ready to go, so we asked for the check. The oysters were still on the check, so my sister was going to try them. However, the waitress quickly grabbed them and the empty lamb chop plates off the table without asking if I was done. I get I said they were nasty but if I have to pay for them I should have option to take them as well. When she came back, I mentioned it to her and she said she's going to talk to the manager. She came back and said he toom half off, which was acceptable. To sum it all up, it seems like the lounge is priority over the restaurant. Would I return, NOPE. Boston has wayyy to much to offer to give Fete another chance. If anything, I'd get the lamb chops as take out lol

Let me start by saying a $25 reservation fee which is ridiculous. Second you get there on time and waited over 20 mins to be seated, finally get seated and only for a waitress to come over and say I'm not your waitress but I will see. Then on top of that by time a waitress comes over so that you can place your order you're told to make it quick because the kitchen will be closing soon. Ask for the manager who apologized but the damage was already done. To say the least the food was horrible, the service is trash and I would never recommend this establishment.

chicken and waffles were delicious. also the place was very nicely decorated which was perfect for a birthday party.

I went there to eat on a Thursday and they had a karaoke / game night going on. It was amazing! The food was great, and they also had a live musician for karaoke. It was an amazing experience!

I did not like the vibes in here. I think there were too many staff members for how slow the night was. We got espresso martinis and they were not good. They also put an automatic 20% tip on the check which is always fine but I feel like you should mention that.

Good food good vibes only had a great time for drinks and good food music was a plus will definitely go back there for the lemon pepper tenders thumbs up

Fete at Boston was just a great ambiance from the music, to the food to drinks and to the amazing staff who are nice and respectful. Will definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice brunch spot.

Highly recommended. Stay was friendly, clean environment , strong tasty drinks. & the food, omg! The food was amazing. Cooked to perfection. I had the jerk lamb chops, they were so tender, wings were juicy, the shrimp seasoned to perfection, even the truffle fries, were fresh. I will be back again & again

Loved the vibes. Went there for my sisters bday for brunch. The food was amazing. Definitely would recommend the Jerk lamb chops and the Wings. Everything came out hot and tasty. Check it out . Definitely 10/10 for my first experience. Had great conversation with one of the owners. Treated us real nice and will definitely be back.

AMAZING food, service and atmosphere. Ate every bit of what was served. The owner came out and chatted with us and checked on our experience (which was amazing). The server was lovely and attentive. I had the lamb and filet, which were both delightful. Highly recommend!

I'm not even the type of person to leave reviews, but this place was so unorganized. I had reservations at 8:15 & didn't get a table till almost 10 . The manager with the braids didn't even care . The host named Sonia kept telling him about my group and he didn't even want to help . The when we finally was seated it took another 30 minutes to order then another 30 to even get our food and food was brought to us that we didn't even order and they tried to charge us . The food wasn't bad and the music was ok but the place was unorganized. The girls at the bar were nice .

Was excited to try this restaurant based off Tik Tok. I just think the music is super loud. We were seated but had to ask to be served. We did get quick service when we asked but hopefully they find a more effective system so that customers are serviced well. The food was ok.

Food was good, Christelle S gave us the best service, music was great. Drinks was delicious. . Overall everything was wonderful. A lit place to celebrate a birthday. I love this place

the drinks were fantastic and so was our bartender Pamela, who was very very nice and courteous!!!!!

When we sat down for brunch the waitress named all the items they did not have in stock that day from the menu. "No salad, no seafood, no acai bowl " I think there was one more thing she named that I cant remember. We made a joke that it was practically the whole menu considering it is a limited menu and some items were seafood based. However, what we did end up ordering for food was good and it was a good portion of food. Drinks were average. Not too strong (I prefer strong) Brunch music was pretty lit. Overall I will be back.

I visited Fete on a birthday trip to Boston because I heard great things. I went on 1:00 pm on a Saturday and was highly disappointed that there was only a brunch menu available, which is completely different from their regular menu, which I was very excited to try. Their Hustle and Fete drink is delicious, and I had the bacon scallion waffles with hot honey chicken which was good. I really wish there was an Option to choose from the regular menu. The ambiance is nice and the music is also good. Service took a little longer than expected.

Great food, great atmosphere. Loved everybody, the waitress are very friendly. I had a problem and it was solved quickly. They take very pride in their food and the way they do things. My first coming here and i will be back. Thank you guys for the wonderful food and wonderful service!!! I will be back.

The food was delicious! We had the chicken and waffles with the honey garlic wings. The shrimp and grits were so tasteful. The service was on point! Natalie was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu! The vibe was everything. We loved the restaurant set up and they had a great playlist at lunch. Deff would recommend bringing your girls for a great time l!

I came here a couple of weeks ago and my experience was great! Our waitress Christelle was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The food was amazing and I will definitely come back.
