Hospitality beyond boundaries

About Us

In 1989, esteemed Chef Joachim Splichal opened Patina on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles — ushering in a new era of dining defined by his groundbreaking vision for a chef-led restaurant. From that prescient opening to today’s Patina Group, we embody distinction, creativity and a belief that culinary and hospitality mastery is an art form.

For over 30 years, we’ve proudly delivered exceptional culinary and hospitality experiences across both coasts. As an award-winning pioneer in restaurants and catering and an established leader in elevated, premium hospitality, we’re deeply connected to culture, entertainment and the arts.

Today, Patina Group pursues the art of radical hospitality — going beyond traditional service, fostering genuine connections with our guests, and sparking a sense of belonging in every warm, welcoming environment we create.
