There’s something new blooming at Capital Prime—and it’s not just the summer

flowers. We’ve crafted a sensational lineup of appetizers and salads that bring

freshness, indulgence, and flair to every bite.

 

Start Bold, Stay Elegant Begin your meal with an exploration of flavor:

 

Crispy Morels with Saffron Aioli – Earthy, delicate morels fried to golden perfection, paired with a fragrant saffron aioli that’s as silky as it is sophisticated.

 

Lobster Arancini with Cajun Remoulade – Decadent lobster and creamy risotto encased in a crunchy shell, served with a kick of Cajun flair.

 

Charcuterie Boards – A curated selection of fine meats, cheeses, nuts and spreads designed for sharing (or savoring solo—we won’t judge).

Balsamic Roasted Peach Bruschetta – Sweet, roasted peaches layered atop toasted baguette slices, kissed with balsamic glaze and fresh herbs for a burst of bright summer energy.

 

Greens That Make You Look Twice Our salad creations are anything but predictable:

 

Strawberry & Brussels Sprout Salad – Shaved sprouts mingled with vibrant strawberries and crowned with blackened shrimp, dressed to thrill in tangy strawberry vinaigrette.

 

Grilled Peach & Salmon Salad – Char-grilled peaches and tender salmon come together with leafy greens, candied pecans and our house-made maple vinaigrette that’s sweet and unforgettable.

 

Whether you’re joining us for a date night, a business dinner or a celebration with friends, these new dishes are designed to surprise your senses and elevate your experience. Crafted with passion. Served with flair. Tasted with joy.

 

Capital Prime is welcoming guests now—come indulge in seasonal ingredients, expert technique and a menu that’s got everyone talking.

 

We’ll save you a seat.

At Capital Prime, we don’t just mix drinks—we give them an outfit worthy of a night out. From

our signature cocktails to mocktail masterpieces, we believe every sip should sparkle, sing, and maybe even surprise you. So what’s in our garnish gallery this season? Let’s take a delicious look:

 

Whether it’s floating in a flute of Prosecco or dusting the rim of our Lavender Love Garden, this magical touch makes your drink positively “Instagrammable!”

 

These crimson wheels lend an aromatic citrus flair that’s perfect for gin creations or smoky

mezcal mixes. Pro tip: try one, (or maybe two!) of our seasonal Blood Orange Bourbon Sour for a dramatic finish.

 

Whether you get a finely twisted lime ribbon or a Tajín-rimmed wedge, expect a punch of color and zest on our margaritas and vodka spritzers. A juicy lime sitting on the edge of the Blackberry Lime Ricky never looked so good.

 

Nestled gently at the bottom of your Manhattan these bourbon-soaked beauties aren’t just

garnish—they’re dessert. Taste the difference in our local twist: the Prime Old Fashioned.

Capital Prime isn’t just serving drinks—we’re curating an experience. The next time you raise a glass here, know that every garnish is chosen to dazzle your senses and delight your palate.Need help picking your perfect cocktail pairing? Just ask—our mixologists are garnish geniuses.

 

Heather Hulett
General Manager

We love sharing all our wonderful employees with our Capital Press fans, and we’re excited to introduce Trish Cogswell as our Headline this month.

 

Trish has been with Capital Prime for 8 plus years, and shares that she “loves being a part of the Capital Prime family and enjoys interacting with co-workers and different guests every day.”

 

Trish is an exemplary team member who steps up when anything is needed. She has helped us greet our guests at the host stand, jump behind the bar to make cocktails and, of course, her awesome serving ability surpasses many guests’ expectations. Trish states that “my organizational skills when executing private events and building and maintaining relationships is what I feel I add to the team.” We have numerous requests for Trish, by our guests, to take care of their private events year after year. From holiday parties, corporate events to our monthly programs, Trish is one of the reasons our guests keep coming back.

 

Something that may surprise people is Trish’s love of classic cars. “I am a classic car enthusiast. I particularly love cars from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. I enjoy attending car shows and would love to have a large collection someday.”

 

One of the things we love about Trish is her enthusiasm for baking. Trish is so thoughtful to make sure that all her co-workers birthdays have a special “sweet moment.” Even on days with no celebration, she brings in treats on a regular basis, to make our days a bit brighter. She says “I have really taught myself a lot with baking. I enjoy baking for my family, friends and co-workers, it makes my heart happy to put a smile on so many people’s faces.”

 

One of her favorite items to make is carrot cake! As a licensed baker, Trish has provided Capital Prime with various delicacies for special events that have need for specific allergen or dietary restrictions.

 

Trish is proud of her resiliency, “I seem to thrive in the face of life's ups and downs” and says “sometimes the less you know is better.” We are so proud to call Trish “family” here at Capital Prime, and if you have the chance to have her take care of you, you will understand why.

 

Thank you Trish for a wonderful 8 years, and for all “sweet moments!”
