(PRESS RELEASE) BUFFALO, NY, 2025-May-9 — /Travel PR News/ — Patina Group, formerly known as Patina Restaurant Group, has officially launched a striking new brand identity that marks the company’s evolution from a singular fine dining establishment to a forward-thinking, lifestyle-driven hospitality leader. This transformation signals an exciting new era for Patina Group, which aims to double its restaurant portfolio by 2030 while continuing its tradition of excellence in culinary offerings and world-class hospitality.

Originally founded in 1989 as Patina, the restaurant that earned Los Angeles’ first Michelin star, Patina Group has since expanded to operate over 40 restaurants across North America. Known for its high-profile catering services, the company partners with iconic events such as the PGA Championship and the 2025 Ryder Cup, showcasing its culinary prowess on a global scale. Patina’s legacy also includes collaborations with prestigious cultural institutions like Lincoln Center, Disney Parks & Resorts, and more, solidifying its reputation for delivering unforgettable dining experiences within some of the world’s most celebrated venues.

“The reimagined Patina Group identity is not just a visual update — it represents our bold ambition to scale our operations while staying true to the legacy of excellence we’ve built,” said John Kolaski, President of Patina Group. “As we grow, we remain committed to providing premium lifestyle dining experiences across a diverse range of settings, from stadiums to cultural landmarks.”

The company’s growth strategy centers on expanding chef-led restaurants, large-scale events, entertainment-driven dining, and corporate hospitality. Key initiatives for Patina Group include:

Hundredfold, a new American brasserie developed in collaboration with James Beard Award-winning Chef Timothy Hollingsworth, set to open at Belmont Park Village in New York. With ten locations expected by 2030, this marks the first of many new ventures.

Scalable restaurant concepts, which will include new Patina-developed brands like Hundredfold, as well as strategic acquisitions of promising high-potential dining brands.

Chef partnerships, continuing collaborations with Michelin-starred chefs such as Carlos Gaytán (Paseo, Centrico, Tiendita at Downtown Disney) and Iron Chef Morimoto (Momosan Ramen in Boston, Morimoto Asia in Orlando).

Luxury catering expansion, with new “eatertainment” concepts and upscale dining experiences.

Investment in content and storytelling, elevating the brand’s connection with its global audience.

Leveraging Delaware North’s global hospitality network, expanding opportunities across one of the world’s largest privately held hospitality companies.

Patina Group’s updated brand identity, with its clean, elegant, and timeless aesthetic, embodies the company’s commitment to delivering unparalleled experiences in every setting. Rooted in culinary excellence and radical hospitality, Patina is poised to redefine premium hospitality at scale and continue leading the industry for years to come.
