I don't know anything beyond what I posted about, but here's the gist of it: someone namd Joe Reis posted on his blog that the Islands closed yesterday as part of a massive 6-month renovation plan for the hotel, which apparently calls for the removal of the waterfall fountains at the front of the restaurant, and lord knows what else. Has anyone else heard about this? It's devastating, the Islands Restaurant is gorgeous. Not what it used to be, thanks to other ill-advised renovations, but still lovely. The Hanalei has been so terribly butchered over the years -- why do they keep doing this?! Gah!
