I would have to agree. As a regular international visitor to Hawaii, I was looking forward to the opening. I, too, was impressed by the quality of construction and care for the trees. However, we went for dinner and were very disappointed by the variety and prices on offer. Admittedly many of the restaurants and shops aren't open yet, and it will be another year or so before they are, but we still ended up going elsewhere for dinner. It would seem that the opening date was dictated by head tenant Saks. 

I will be interested to see how it looks and works on our next visit. But it will never be the old International Market Place, more's the pity!
