I recently dined at Fête Bistro by Slay, and their burger was a standout! Perfectly cooked, juicy, and bursting with flavor, the patty had a great char while staying tender inside. Fresh toppings and a toasted bun made every bite delicious—one of the best burgers I’ve had.
The service was fantastic—warm, attentive staff who made the meal feel special without hovering. Food came out fast and hot. The ambience was cozy yet lively, with soft lighting, stylish decor, and just-right background music.
Fête Bistro by Slay nails food, service, and vibe. Can’t wait to go back!

Where to start. Upon seating, host asked if water was desired. Ordered but only received after 3rd request.

Ordered escargots. No meat accessible even after cracking two shells open- empty.

Only salads offered were tabouleh and Persian cucumber- not quite complementary to escargots, even with shells only.

Waiter advised escargots would come without bread so ordered bread for a dipping / common side. Escargots, in fact, arrived with bread. There there was an abundance of bread. The upside is it tasted good however not sure worth the extra $8.

When an employee came to fill water glass, he noticed table was unsteady. He promptly kneeled down to adjust. Then again. The third time was apparently the charm. Each time pushing onto my leg and tipping items in the table.

I sent the escargot shells back and simply asked for the check. While waiting, the same kneeling employee politely asked if I’d mind moving the table so he could set up another one along the wall. Interesting request. Also while waiting for the check I was able to write this review.

Maybe I missed something and hopefully that’s what occurred. Maybe it’s frustrating as being considered an amateur chef, I went here tonight anticipating inspiration. In the past 5 years I’ve visited 30+ countries from Europe to Asia and beyond and never had quite a dining experience like this one tonight. I’ve enjoyed their Italian restaurant and it was good. I truly wish the chain well however some significant changes will need to occur else it is clear this one will disappear on very short order.

Had a great time here with my wife. The food and service were impeccable.

So amazing. Food was great. We had the goat cheese with the baguette, the lamb and the french onion soup. Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Staff were amazing, warm and welcome and so helpful. Highly recommend

Strange vibe, food served cold, wildly overpriced 75 dollar steak looked and tasted like a Salisbury steak from the diner - could have actually probably gotten it better from the kettle up the street and that says a lot…

Quaint restaurant 2 blocks from the ocean with big open air dining room. I came in on a Sunday evening and dined at the bar. Started with the duck liver pate though I was hesitant and surprisingly loved it. The layer of fat on the top really rounds out that super strong liver flavor that turns people off. Butter lettuce and Fête-touch salads were sooooo good. Finished with the mussels as my main dish and the were the best I've ever had. 👌 Nick was very knowledgeable about the menu and extremely patient with my indecisiveness. The staff were very charming and I will definitely be back. Nice job again David Slay with another excellent restaurant.

the food was not the best i almost threw up eating it and i saw a couple people walk in wanting to use the bathroom and the owner did not let them and screamed at the security guard right after that

It's a very dirty place, I've looked at it personally and they say to each other that if no one looks at the meat on the floor, no one knows why they kept quiet. In addition to the fact that they fire without pay those who do not agree

Ray was fantastic, Marilyn was wonderful and we had a brief hello with David Slay which was great. Lamb Shank and the Seafood were excellent. The escargot was perfect and the butter lettuce salad was lovely, all was delicious. Chocolate dessert was an excellent ending. We will return!

Really enjoyed my meal here, starting with the French martini, oysters on the halfshell and moving to the scallops. There was too long of a pause between apps and entree, but otherwise service OK. Slay Italian has had some wait-staff issues lately so I was a bit wary, but our server was great.

We sat right by the open window and enjoyed the extraordinary service provided by Ray. The West coast oysters were scrumptious and the warm freshly baked baguette was very good. The wine, cocktail and champagne list are remarkable. A great evening dining experience and go to little speakeasy afterwards.

Went to the bar for a quick bite to eat and I’m glad I choose Fete. Food and drink was amazing and the atmosphere and crowd were the icing on the cake. Will definitely be back. Ordered the Chicken Paillard. Delicious!!

One server was really good one was awful. Food wasn't anything worth coming back for. Maybe part of it was it was a crazy weekend in town but they should have known that and been prepared.
