As the new year begins, we’re excited to welcome a season filled with connection, celebration, and new experiences at Capital Prime. January offers a wonderful opportunity to gather, whether you’re joining us for an intimate dinner, a lively evening of entertainment, or simply a thoughtfully prepared meal shared with friends.

 

This month, we’re proud to introduce the Capital Prime Wine Club, a new way for our guests to explore exceptional wines and enjoy exclusive experiences curated by our team. We’re also looking forward to a night of laughter with live comedy at Vine at Prime, bringing great energy and an unforgettable fun to the start of the year.

 

As members of the Spartan community, we extend a warm welcome to Michigan State University’s new head football coach, Coach Pat Fitzgerald, and wish him success as he begins this next chapter at Michigan State University. And with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, romance is in the air. Details to follow soon!

 

Looking ahead, there’s plenty to enjoy, from featured wines and upcoming events to fresh inspiration from our kitchen. As always, our commitment remains the same: delivering exceptional cuisine, thoughtfully curated wines, and the warm hospitality you’ve come to expect.

 

Warm regards,
The Capital Prime Team

As the calendar turns to a new year, many of us set resolutions to live healthier, eat cleaner and feel our best. At Capital Prime, we believe that delicious food can be part of your journey toward those goals. That’s why we’re highlighting a trio of vibrant salads designed to fuel your body, delight your taste buds, and keep you inspired all year long.

 

A bold balance of flavor and nutrition, this salad layers arugula and spinach with pickled red onions, avocado and sliced almonds. Sweet blackberries add a burst of freshness, while savory tenderloin beef tips and a golden chèvre fritter make this dish hearty enough to satisfy. It’s proof that eating well doesn’t mean sacrificing indulgence.

 

For those who crave something light yet luxurious, our Scottish salmon rests atop a mix of spinach and iceberg lettuce. Crisp shaved fennel and radish bring brightness, while grilled peaches add a smoky-sweet touch. Finished with bleu cheese crumbles, candied pecans and a drizzle of maple vinaigrette. This salad is a celebration of balance—rich, refreshing, and perfectly aligned with your wellness goals.

 

Simple elegance defines this classic. Red leaf lettuce provides the foundation, topped with pine nuts, delicate red onion rings, and tangy bleu cheese crumbles. A raspberry maple vinaigrette ties it all together with a sweet-tart finish. It’s a timeless choice for those who want a lighter option without compromising flavor. Add grilled chicken or shrimp, steak or even scallops to add a delicious protein.

 

Whether your resolution is to eat healthier, discover new flavors, or simply enjoy more mindful meals, Capital Prime’s salads are crafted to help you succeed. Each dish combines fresh ingredients with thoughtful preparation, making it easy to stay on track while savoring every bite.

 

Start your year strong—join us at Capital Prime and let these salads be the first step toward a healthier, happier you.

 

Bon Appétit!

To all our guests who celebrated with us throughout the holiday season and New Year’s—Thank You. Your continued support, laughter and shared moments made this season especially joyful for our entire team. We’re grateful for each of you and look forward to creating even more memorable experiences in 2026. We have some exciting news and events to look forward to in the New Year!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Capital Prime Wine Club—a new way for our guests to explore exceptional wines, access exclusive perks and elevate every dining experience. Members will enjoy monthly wine selections curated by our sommelier team, special pricing on featured bottles, early access to limited-release vintages and invitations to members-only tastings and events.

 

Watch your emails for membership details and our first official gathering! The first 25 guests to become members will receive a beautiful wooden Capital Prime wine key.

 

Join us on January 23rd for a night of laughs and shenanigans, featuring two standout comedians:

Enjoy an evening of incredible comedy, heavy appetizers and unforgettable fun. Two showtimes available, 7pm and 9pm. Want to dine before the show? Reserve your table at Capital Prime first and walk next door at showtime. Seating is limited—reserve early!

 

This month’s featured wine is a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir from one of Oregon’s pioneering wineries. The Breaking Ground bottling highlights the elegance and purity of the Willamette Valley with notes of vibrant red fruit, subtle spice and silky tannins. Perfect with our steaks, salmon, or enjoyed on its own. Available by the glass or bottle.

 

We look forward to raising a glass with you—whether you’re joining the Capital Prime Wine Club, attending our comedy night or simply stopping in for a warm and memorable meal.

 

 

General Manager

Happy New Year! We would like to introduce you to Demitri Kill, better known to the Capital Prime family as DJ. He has been with Capital Prime for just over 2 years. DJ keeps our Pantry well-staffed making all your favorites; from our wonderful Martha’s Vineyard salad to our house-made Carrot Cake, and so much more.  

 

When asked what his favorite part of working at Capital Prime is; DJ says “I really love and care for the people I work with; also, this is a great place to learn all kinds of skills in the kitchen.”

 

There are many assets you can bring to work with you, and DJ says he believes his most valuable one is his charisma. “I love connecting with people and making new friends who become like family.”

 

Working with others is natural to DJ, coming from a family of 12, he is the 7th child and the youngest boy. A bustling kitchen full of all the amazing people that make your entrées so special feels like home.

 

“My first passion is cooking, being able to create something out of nothing is a superpower! One day I hope to open my own establishment. I pride myself on never giving up, no matter what the day brings, I will strive to see my goal through.”

 

One thing DJ wants people to know about him is that he is there when you need him. “I’m always here when someone needs a friend or someone to listen.”

 

Cheers to you DJ and thank you for all you bring to our amazing kitchen. You are a valuable part of our Capital Prime family.
