Da Kitcken was closed by the Maui Board of Health last year. The guy skipped before paying the huge fine. It reopened with the same name for some unknown reason.
I totally agree with the family run Maalea Waterfront Restaurant. I wrote a glowing report last year somewhere on FT.
Best Maui pricesand food is at Longhi's Wailea for lunch. A really really nice deal (40-80% higher for dinner and worth it then, too)
