CORPORATE INNOVATION AWARD: Innovative Dining Group (IDG)
IDG has restaurants all over Los Angeles that are known as places to rub elbows with the city’s “who’s who.” Among those restaurants are Katana, where one can dine on a Sunset Strip patio while enjoying sushi and Robatayaki. BOA Steakhouse or Sushi Roku Santa Monica offer an ocean view. Chi Lin on Sunset Boulevard is known as a place for people watching as well as its food. Then there is Riva Bella, an indoor-outdoor space that evokes a rustic Tuscan farmhouse.
