There are good views of the ongoing hotel project from the A Concourse windows. The steel is in for the new skybridge from the hotel to the concourse which will include a new security checkpoint (remains to be seen what hours it would be staffed, and by design would apply to carry on only). The hotel will have a bar on top floor which should also be a great viewing area. The other construction going on is the relocation of the outbound roadway, parking admin building and pay booths to make room for the expansion of the parking deck.
My current favorite restaurants are Stone Arch, located just inside the south checkpoint at the entrance to the G concourse (the old Chilis location) and at Terminal 2, Barrio.

If you still wanted to visit the Escape Lounge (which I found very nice), they are still listed on Loungebuddy (dot com) with a $40 entrance fee. But if your FT profile is correct and you are Diamond, you would also have complimentary access to the Sky Club. Is Escape that much better (I haven't been to an SC)?
I see Escape closes at 8 now anyway so I wouldn't have much time there anyway since I land just before 7.
I haven't been to the MSP Skyclubs but over the past couple years the quality of the food at the SC's I frequent has improved a lot.
