Was in Lansing visiting a friend and we decided to have dinner at Toscana…read more The restaurant itself is really nice, but they sat us at a slightly awkward table. There were only four of us, but we ended up at what felt like a six-person booth/table setup. It made it a little tricky to talk with everyone, but we survived. Now listen... the bread. Oh, the bread. I have been dreaming about this bread ever since I had it. And I mean that literally, I was dreaming about the bread while I was actively eating it. It was THAT good. My pasta was delicious and had a nice kick to it. I knew it was supposed to be spicy, but even after reading the reviews I was still a little surprised by the heat. Thankfully, it was the good kind of spicy where you keep going back for another bite. Overall, a really nice spot with some seriously memorable bread.

We went to Toscana (somewhat hesitantly) on Tuesday during happy hour to see our friend, Phil…read moreDenny, perform. As always, he was excellent, and I highly recommend his music. Unfortunately, our dining experience was disappointing. We weren't allowed to order from the regular happy hour menu and were limited to a much more expensive fixed menu. The calamari was good, but the featured Jazzleberry cocktail tasted weak and watered down. The prosciutto and melon appetizer was served with a large piece of half-burnt toast, the melon was hard and underripe, and the prosciutto was dry and sliced so thick it was difficult to cut or eat. I asked only for a replacement piece of toast, but our server brought an entire basket of focaccia instead. Since we hadn't ordered it, we assumed it was a courtesy replacement. We were surprised to find an $8 charge for the bread on our bill. This was at least our third disappointing experience. Toscana has a lovely atmosphere and wonderful live music, but the food quality and service have consistently fallen short. I truly hope they can improve because I'd like to enjoy dining here as much as I enjoy the entertainment.

I had no idea who was supposed to be our server until someone apologized for 'being inattentive'. So I guess it was the bartender? 2. I was served cold prime rib. After I sent it back someone came to me to ask me to 'just let them fix this one' by reheating. I'm aware that isn't going to go well, but I was so surprised at the audacity I felt obligated. It was fine, but definitely nothing to want ever again. Overall it was an incredibly disappointing experience.

The service provided at Capital Prime makes the evening and experience worth it!…read more The restaurant is intimate and nicely decorated. There is plenty of parking as it is located in a large plaza surrounded by shopping and hotels. The food was beautifully plated and the scallops Rockefeller were the best items of the night! We literally could have made an evening of the scallops, the bread, and the amazing martinis! The sea bass and morels do deserve an honorable mention as they were extremely tasty and well prepared. The rest of our food was ok and overrated, thereby overpriced. The service would bring us back but at the prices perhaps we will stick to cocktails and appetizers.

Appetizer: Lobster Arancini Balls 3.8/5 - These were served…read morewith an aoli on the bottom which went well with the crispy arancini. There was one small piece of lobster in this bite, so not the most generous portion for the price. Main: 6 Oz Filet Mignon 3/5 - The meat was cooked well (to medium rare) and had a great crust on the exterior. This carried the dish (as it should). The accompanying sides, mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies, would be best left out. The broccolini and green beans were salty and overcooked, extremely soft and cooked well past it's ideal texture. The mashed potatoes were ok, but are just there as a filler. Side: Michigan Kale Salad 2/5 - The ingredient list sounded superb, but the execution was not there. The kale pieces were LARGE and were hard to eat in bites. It desperately needed another chop (or few) and a deep tissue massage. The salad was also HEAVY on the red onion - if that's your thing, then this is a great salad for you. The red onion was added with a heavy hand and needed to be soaked in water prior to serving to get rid of the pungent bite. Pass. The free bread rolls were ok as well, but I would rather have a Texas Road House roll.

We went on a Wednesday evening around 6pm and were sat right away but the bar was about 75% full. Service was decent as the bartenders doubled as the waiters. Somewhat limited food menu, but had options ranging from wraps to filets. Sandwiches were around $20 and the main dishes were in the $30-$60 range. Overall good experience and we will be back.

Absolutely the best place in Lansing to get a unique meal hands-down. This is my second time here I…read moreknow I will say it wasn't as good this time. It's only because it was just not as amazing as the first. Still very good they serve everything in a mass serving so on a steak night the problem is your steak is meant to be served lukewarm essentially. They still seasoned everything perfectly. Cook it perfectly and that's how the fish prepared that would've been my only complaint posting pictures of what was on the menu that night and it was great. Highly recommend for special occasions for a date night.
