The Oriana is set to take over the former Quay precinct premises, replacing a James Squire taphouse with a new multi-venue dining and bar concept. Reporting from multiple outlets describes the redevelopment as featuring a dedicated restaurant with harbour views, including seafood-focused offerings such as luxury seafood towers. The concept also includes a beer garden and a martini bar, expanding the venue mix beyond the previous taphouse model. One outlet highlights the presence of high-end menu pricing, including steaks priced around $280, alongside the seafood displays. While details focus on the hospitality features and layout—beer garden, martini bar, and a restaurant—common across the coverage is the overall theme of upgrading the site into a harbour-facing dining hub. All accounts frame the change as the latest transformation of the space previously occupied by Quay’s James Squire venue, with the new operator presenting a more premium, destination-style experience for diners and drinkers.
