The options have been cut WAY back recently, in what looks like must be a cost-saving measure.
Pre-covid options out of JFK (which indeed hadn't changed in a long time):

One notable change is that the famous lobster thermidor is only available ex-SIN now it seems, whereas it used to be available out of many of the major outstations. (Granted, the reports of varying quality at the outstations may mean that change it is not such a huge loss.)
The new BTC menu is also less premium-seeming than the old menu, although I'm not sure how often the premium elements of the old menu were fully executed ... I had the seabass with "crab-mashed potato" out of JFK once and it was good but there was no evidence of crab in the potatoes.
