As has been reported in previous posts, Numbers is changing dramatically. The following is a quote I believe from the manager / owner or someone at the restaurant:

"Numbers has been known as a hustler bar for 33 years, but the truth is bars down the street have more hustlers in a night than we do in a month. Your point about boys walking around in underwear is well taken, and we are NOT going to be having boys anymore on a regular basis. We are aiming to become more mainstream, and welcome anyone for a nice place to spend part or all of their evening. There will be only one night a week that will have boys and girls that will be dressed more risque, and that will be Saturday nights (used to be every Wednesday). It's called "Industry," and it's about porn stars. On that night the host will be fully clothed until around 10pm, and also please keep in mind they are part of the hosting and venue. They will be classed up, so it is not as skimpy as it use to be. Please keep this in mind, if you went to a cabaret show, you wouldn't take off your clothes just to fit in. You would still probably get dressed up to go out to that venue.

Our vision is to make it a special place where WeHo can be proud of once again. It was known as an iconic place where Hollywood socialites use to go, and have a great dinner and never be bothered. Our aim is to make it once again that, which it was world famous for. It wasn't all about hustlers even back then, it was known for fine food, great bar & restaurant, and a elegant safe haven for anyone and everyone."

The problem with this is that his food nor his prices for his food make it a venue that I would visit for the food alone. I think that he is creating problems with this change. But I know that his business is suffering due to the economy and he wants to make it as mainstream as possible. But it is very unlikely that I will be returning.

Why the need for a separate thread on this when there is already a perfectly fine thread on Numbers?

You even acknowledge that fact.
