//The line

Oriana, which opened May 28, 2026 from chef Andy Quinn and sommelier Cedric Nicaise (the Noortwyck team), sells its signature whole BBQ duck — described as an homage to the Peking ducks of nearby Chinatown — consistently enough that diners are advised to preorder it when they book, per Wine Spectator.

Wine Spectator reports the restaurant is built around a custom-made wood-fired grill visible from the dining room, and the duck's popularity has made preordering effectively necessary rather than optional to guarantee a portion.
