Delmonico's 1917

Most steamed vegetable dishes are gone.
As are cream of [Insert Vegetable] soups, outside of some bisques.
A lot of sauces that would be combined with things like lobster or fine beef. Bernaise sauce or sauce Americaine are pretty outdated for most people. People nowadays are all in on 'tasting the meat', otherwise known as putting very little seasoning on it.
A lot of potato dishes have died out especially. Potatoes duchess or dauphine or chantilly or others are all really old school in most views.
But much of this is just classic French cooking dying off.

For more specifically American-centric cookery,
Turtle as a food item is basically gone. As is mutton.
Table side dishes like salsbury steak or steak diane or bananas foster are a basically a dead art.
