The Advocate newspaper food critic seems impressed with the quality of the food (having trouble posting a link here for some reason).
I toured the space; it's really beautiful. There's a music stage (and a liquor store!) at baggage claim. Terminal A is small, no restaurants, but it's easy to hop over to B or C. Several dozen restaurant choices and bars. Most seats at the gates have outlets. There are water bottle stations and a pet poop area past security.
But anyone coming to the airport from the city is going to have to plan for more time until the freeway flyover is complete. You do have to get off I-10 and drive across surface streets, including the very busy Veterans Blvd. Once you're on the airport grounds, however, it's quite smooth.
