Maui Food Recommendations?

Question

Hi All
I will be in Maui in about 3 weeks, and looking for food eating places. I have read few blogs/forums and came up with following list. Please validate, let me know if I'm missing anything... 

Ululani's Shave Ice, Lahaina, HI
Coconut's Fish Cafe (fish tacos)
Yee's orchard & fruit stand 
Kihei Caffe (good breakfast)
Eskimo Candy for poke 
Mama's Fish House
Paia Fish Market

I'm also looking for a slightly fancy place, a place by the ocean with good food, where my wife and I can really enjoy the sunset with a good meal.

Thank You

Answer

Ululani's has a Kihei location now, and the Kihei one just opened a bake shop. Are you staying in South Maui?

Make sure you mind Yee's and Eskimo Candy's hours. Eskimo Candy often runs out of poke by the end of the day.

Mama's Fish House WOULD be your "slightly fancy place" "by the ocean" with a view of the sunset. Get an earlier reservation if you want to ensure a good view. Google for photos--the atmosphere is very romantic. If you are celebrating an occasion be sure to let them know.

Answer

We just returned from Maui yesterday back to Honolulu (home).
Kapalua is really off the beaten trail. 
I would go to Mama's right from the Airport, unless you have a late arrival. 
Then for a nice breakfast or lunch Leoda's Bake Shop (on the way to Lahaina).
Another favorite is Star Noodle (Lahaina). 
The Roy's in Kaanapali is decent food wise.
As far as your desire for a high end View restaurant it's not easy in Kaanapali compared to Wailea which is a long way away. 
Are you going to any other islands?
