Where is esquire brisbane

I have not come to this decision lightly as I have very much enjoyed the experience but felt for a number of reasons this was the right time to close the restaurant. Broadsheet reached out to Squires and his management team this afternoon to learn more. Staff at the restaurants said they were not authorised to talk about the closure. Calls to Squires direct went to voicemail. We will update this story if and when we hear more.

Esq and Esquire will serve their last customers on March 29, before closing for good. Esquire Eagle Street, Brisbane 07 Esq Eagle Street, Brisbane 07 Owner of Brisbane restaurants Esq and Esquire, which will serve their last dishes this Thursday, has revealed the loss of his business partner six years ago was a key factor in his sudden and shock decision to close his businesses. Ryan Squires told Fairfax Media his passion for creating exciting food had become overshadowed by the day-to-day challenges of running a top Brisbane restaurant, so he decided to pull the plug and close his landmark restaurant and sister eatery before he got into financial trouble.

Mr Squires said his passion and creativity in the kitchen had disappeared while running every aspect of his business.

When Esquire co-owner Cameron Murchison left within the first year of the business opening, Mr Squires said it was a massive loss and he had not been able to find a suitable replacement since.

Mr Squires said other Brisbane restaurants had experienced a downturn in takings and he wanted to close his business before it got into financial trouble. Mr Squires said his staff had been "very understanding and supportive" of his decision and he vowed to help them find new work.
