Capital Prime

Lansing, MI

Capital Prime stands as one of Lansing’s top steakhouses, known for its high-quality ingredients, private dining experiences, and commitment to excellence. For over 11 years, it has been a go-to spot for corporate events, financial firms, and MSU recruiters looking to impress five-star athletes. The menu evolves seasonally, offering classic steakhouse fare with a refined touch.

At the heart of the kitchen is Chef Scott Finch, who took over as Executive Chef nearly six months ago. Finch focuses on precision and simplicity, ensuring every dish highlights the quality of its ingredients. A steakhouse should do the basics flawlessly—steaks cooked and rested properly, sauces balanced, and flavors clean. Guests expect consistency, and Finch makes it a priority.

His journey to Capital Prime started early. Growing up in Lansing, he developed a love for cooking in his grandmothers’ kitchens, one American, the other Mexican. At 16, he got his first job making pizzas, learning the fundamentals of a professional kitchen. By 18, he was working 45-50 hours a week and realized food could be a career.
