I am not sure the lost of the JW lounge is a big deal. The Beaux Arts lounge is small and limited. However, it was adequate. Not sure how much had changed since my visit from several years ago.

By the way, one can easily navigate to Brickell and have access to the numerous restaurants there. I believe that is free using the metro mover or a lengthy walk. Also, I believe they open a Whole Food several blocks away.

One can also navigate down to Dadeland mall via Metrorail. That is a fairly nice, medium scale mall. About half hour ride. But there is a lengthy walk involved once exiting Metrorail to the mall.
