Why go
Gerard’s was the right Brisbane booking for a shared, design-forward modern Levantine dinner, especially if wine and charcoal cooking mattered more than formal fine dining. It closed after final service on July 4, 2026, so the practical move now is to watch the James Street site’s next chapter rather than try to book the old restaurant.
