Food Scene (near my condo)

Here's a list of restaurants that are close to the condo (max 10 minute drive and many are within walking distance).
Hands down, one of the the best places to go while in Maui. Known worldwide for their Mai-tais, but the food is incredible. We walk here through via the Residence Inn parking lot. The service is second to none.
