Heard the cocktails are still very good, but there's no way I'll be considering it for a full dinner thing: there are way better restaurants that I prefer that don't cost that much (and even if I dropped more on a dinner - it was always worth it).

I also prefer different cuisine and my regular go-tos are not "fine dining", or whatever they are pretending to be, but even by looking at their menu makes me go "NAAAAH..." (it's not exciting to me at all, and the price is eyebrows raising).

Surprised you're getting downvoted on this. I guess I could live with the price for a special occasion but why they have to be so aggressive about diets?

Their website says: "Please note: Day-of menu substitutions cannot be accommodated, if you have a life-threatening food allergy please contact us prior to your reservation. Vegan and dairy-free requests cannot be accommodated."

I have a previously-not-life-threatening allergy or sensitivity to shellfish. Between their current menu and their attitude, I certainly wouldn't try my luck. And I guess vegans and vegetarians can take a hike too. An easy way to deal with the panoply of modern diet preferences would be to offer a variety of dishes and allow customers to choose...
