What Platinum Dining Group does

Platinum Dining Group is a privately held, multi-concept hospitality company headquartered in Northern Delaware, founded in 1996 by Carl and Lisa Georigi with the opening of Eclipse Bistro in Wilmington. The group has grown to operate seven restaurant concepts spanning American (Eclipse Bistro), Italian (Capers & Lemons, Taverna Main Street, Taverna Wilmington), steakhouse (RedFire Grill & Steakhouse), Mexican (El Camino Mexican Kitchen), and Mediterranean/coastal (Hearth Kitchen) cuisines, complemented by a full-service catering division (Platinum Events) and a fine-goods retail market (The Market). The portfolio is concentrated in Northern Delaware with one recent extension into Kennett Square, Pennsylvania in 2025.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer dining model, with customer reservations managed through OpenTable, online ordering and gift card sales handled via Toasttab, and the corporate website powered by BentoBox. Platinum Events delivers catering services for private functions ranging from intimate gatherings of 10 to weddings of 300+, while The Market sells curated culinary products and home goods inside Capers & Lemons. Customer segments include local individual diners across the Delaware Valley, corporate event clients, and private event customers, reached through Facebook, Instagram, email newsletters, and third-party reservation platforms.

Revenue is generated through per-check dine-in restaurant pricing, catering contracts, retail product sales at The Market, and gift card and Platinum Rewards loyalty program proceeds. The Georigi family retains full ownership and senior leadership, with Carl Georigi as Founder/CEO, Lisa Georigi as Managing Partner, and their son Nick Georigi as Director of Beverage; there is no disclosed external investment, parent company, or public listing. Growth has been entirely organic, executed through a steady cadence of new concept launches over the company's 28-year operating history.
