My husband and I have come here twice, and we have loved it both times! Great selection of wine and excellent dishes! They even have a couple of vegetarian options, which is rare! I highly recommend checking this place out, and try sitting outside while the weather is so nice! read more

Peck & Plume is located inside The Mayton Hotel in downtown Cary, overlooking the main park. The setting alone makes it worth a visit. The hotel property is charming and thoughtfully designed, with a mix of tables, sofas, and comfortable chairs that create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. We arrived 3/4 past noon and chose to sit in the study/library area rather than the main dining room. I would strongly recommend this option. The study is quiet and comfortable, while the main restaurant area was noticeably louder. The proximity allows you to enjoy the ambiance without the noise. The menu offerings felt fairly typical for this style of restaurant. We tried the skillet cornbread. It was served room temperature and on the dry side. However, the whipped butter that accompanied it was excellent. Unfortunately, the cornbread was not warm enough to melt it, which would have improved the experience. The Italian wedding soup was very good and served properly hot. We also ordered the local lettuces salad with chicken. The salad itself was fresh, but the chicken was visibly dry and tasted the same. Interestingly, placing the chicken into the soup made it more enjoyable. The double cheeseburger was average. The bun struggled to hold together under the two patties and cheese. The flavor was acceptable but not memorable. Our server was exceptional. Attentive, professional, and gracious throughout the meal. The service elevated the the mediocre experience. Overall, Peck & Plume offers a beautiful setting and excellent service. For a quieter meal, request the study/library seating. While the food was satisfactory, it did not quite match the charm of the surroundings. Would we go again? Maybe. If we did, we would order different items. But, we would request Brian as the server. read more

We had a birthday gathering on Mar. 16th. I ordered the short rib dish. This was the second time I went there for dinner and ordered the short rib. The first time I received a fatty short rib. More fat than meat. I've had short ribs at different restaurants and they were delicious. This in no way compared. This last time I went, I received shredded short rib meat over ( I forget what the starch was, which was tasty) , the shredded meat could not of been more than 2 ozs. of meat, if that. I wish I had taken a picture, so you would know that I am not exaggerating. Brussel sprouts were delicious. Then when everyone was checking out, I looked at my sister's bill, as she bought my birthday meal, they had tacked on a charge that was almost as large as the tip. I had recently read about restaurants adding these charges. Calling them different things and getting away with it most of the time. If you notice this being done, you have the right to request that they remove it. I did just that and they immediately removed it, no questions asked. I find that insulting. If anyone else has had a similar experience, I wish they would let the public know. They do have some good food, just not short ribs. Service was good and so was atmosphere. read more

I got an opportunity to return to Peck & Plume. Peck & Plume is located inside the Mayton Inn in Cary. There is no dedicated parking area, but I was able to find parking closeby. We were a large group and dined in the main dining area. We were all seated together. Brian was our server, and very attentive and stayed on top of things. He knew the menu well and offered suggestions for some in the group. It did get loud when the dining area was about half full. But I do love the restaurant's decor. I went with the local lettuces salad this time and added grilled shrimp. I expected more than four pieces of shrimp, though, for a $25 salad. I did enjoy both, but wouldn't spend that again, knowing what I'd be getting. The Benedict changes week to week, and that week's special didn't appeal to me but that is normally what I'd order for brunch. It is too bad they don't have the classic version on the menu alongside the special of the week. We were given separate checks, and my iced teas kept coming, so my glass never went empty. When it warms up, I might like to try dining on the terrace. read more

This place is so pretty! Such elegance and is large! They have a great bar area and make tasty cocktails. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. The beet salad was delicious, and the pork shoulder was good. The risotto had good flavor but was sticky. The huge disappointment was the filet. It was cooked correctly, but it did not have a filet texture or taste. Skip it if you go. The broccolini was cooked perfectly. read more

The hub and I stopped in for a pre-dinner cocktail in the lounge. They were hosting live jazz, which was nice. No one camped to take our order, so we went to the bar. I can't comment on the food because we didn't order any, but the NA cocktails were delicious. read more

This is my husband and I go to date night restaurant. You can't go wrong with any food choice. I normally like to get a protein, but I decided to go with the carrot top gnudi. It was so good. There were so many flavors in the dish. It was almost like a curry. My husband got the catch of the day. Our appetizers were delicious. The cornbread with the honey butter is to die for. Our waitress was amazing. read more

Always excellent service and delicious brunch. I've been here several times for brunch. It's my go to brunch spot to bring my family or out of town friends. Not only is it located in the beautiful Mayton Inn but also in the heart of downtown Cary. Always nice to stroll around downtown Cary to walk off the calories after a visit to Peck & Plume. At Peck & Plume you won't have any leftovers. You'll want to devour every bite right then and there. The brunch menu is constantly changing and it is never disappointing but I can say their eggs Benedict and shrimp & grits are musts. Great food, perfect location, nice ambience and impeccable service. What more could you ask for? read more

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner here tonight with Claire as our tour guide. She was so great! Lovely fillet with Brussels sprouts and other things.. the drinks were great and the steak was very well prepared. We loved the salads we chose and the chocolate torte for dessert . Very special! read more

From the minute we walked through the front doors were impressed with the charm and ambiance. We chose to be seated on the patio overlooking the park since it was a lovely evening. Our server Claire was poised, knowledgeable and friendly. I had a problem with my meal and she immediately had it corrected without hesitation. I was grateful for her kindness and we really enjoyed the meal. We will definitely return next time we are in the area. read more

If you're planning to dine at Peck & Plume, I'd strongly recommend avoiding the tables in the bar area. The noise level there is overwhelming.... you'll hear every ding, clink, and clatter of the entire restaurant , but still struggle to hear the person sitting right next to you. On top of that, the acoustics of the room amplify everything, so conversations from nearby tables carry loudly and make it even harder to focus. It really takes away from what could otherwise be an enjoyable experience. read more

First time visiting Peck & Plume for brunch and I STAN! Justin was a gracious host and server who offered great suggestions on the menu. Hubs and I settled on the Huevos Rancheros, bacon, eggs, and the French toast brick-- all fantastic! We also tried and loved the Mayton mimosa and the cold fashioned from the brunch cocktail menu. Superb! I had the distinct pleasure of meeting BOB, manager extraordinaire, who was effortlessly serving lewks, gorgeous hair, and grace while setting up for an event and floating through the dining room. I'm a huge fan! All in all, this experience was by far our favorite brunch in Cary thus far, and we'll be back real soon as there are at least 3 more brunch items on the menu that I need to try. Thanks for the great time & vibes-- Cheers! read more

This place was lovely! It's inside of a hotel space so you have to make sure you look for it but once you're inside, it's truly a well decorated piece of property! We sat in the "library" for a bit while the rest of our party arrived which was comfy. Once our entire party arrived, we were sat in the dining room which was very spacious. Our server was very friendly and speedy the entire meal. I got the shrimp and grits which were delicious. This bowl was huge and I ended up having leftovers to take back. I think my favorite bite was the grits, bacon jam, and egg - so good! Not pictured was my Pama Sour drink which was also tasty. Overall, a really cool place to check out! read more

We wandered into Peck & Plume on a Sunday afternoon thinking we'd grab a quick lunch--plot twist: it was brunch-only. But hey, when life hands you brunch, you lean in. I ordered the Avocado Toast and was pleasantly surprised when the server mentioned they had gluten-free bread available (not listed on the menu--bonus points for that!). The avocado was sliced instead of the usual smashed mush, which actually made for a really fresh, clean bite. There were some big flakes of salt on top that added the perfect hit of flavor. I would've loved a little cheese crumble to round it out, but that's just my inner food diva talking. The real scene-stealer? The outdoor seating. 5 stars. Charming, relaxing, and perfectly placed in adorable Downtown Cary--ideal for soaking up some sunshine with your mimosa (or, in my case, espresso martini). Service was on point--friendly, quick, and helpful. Our food came out fast, and everyone seemed genuinely happy we were there, which always makes a difference. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I ask for cheese on my avo toast next time? Also yes. read more

Went to Peck & Plume for the first time with 7 people. The restaurant was very nice inside and was fitting for a nice dinner. The service was very good and they were on top of making sure our drinks were filled. I got the NY strip and it was good the only thing I wish is that it came with mashed potatoes. A few others that were with me had the short rib and well they said it was good it didn't just fall apart like others. It was a little tougher but flavor was there. read more

Outstanding ambiance for breakfast, brunch or otherwise. It's conveniently located near the main lobby of the Mayton hotel. You can sit either inside or outside which their patio has views of Downtown Cary Park. Our service was excellent and so was our food. For the price point and portion size we didn't find we were missing anything. Our bill was less than we anticipated. We'll definitely come back in the future. read more

Located inside the beautiful Mayton Hotel, you'll just need to find street parking. We had reservations and were seated quickly for brunch. The drinks were amazing. I had shrimp and grits and the salmon bagel (not pictured). Both dishes were good, but I would honestly come back for the drinks over the food! Our server was attentive and helpful. Definitely a fun spot to try brunch with the girls. read more

The staff at the hotel was so welcoming, the same goes for the restaurant. We had brunch in their library and it was all decked out for the holiday. What a neat space. Our server was personable. But I wasn't impressed with our brunch. Their drip coffee is great. For my entree, I had The Benediction. And the weekly twist was dill and chive in the hollandaise sauce which wasn't that big of a twist for me. The ham was more of a pork chop than the usual ham. The meat was so thick and dry. The breakfast potatoes were even sadder. The flavors were all there but it was so mushy! The grits that my partner had were delicious. The fruit preserves for his biscuit were too sweet. Our server didn't check up on us or refill our coffee after she took our order. She did apologize at the end when she brought our checks. It's the holiday season and we came on a weekend so we understand. read more

Sat with a large party and waited an hour for our food, and the food was mediocre at best. Two of us had poached eggs as part of our dish, but they came hard boiled. The chicken on the chicken and waffles was so overdone it was almost black. It was like it was last nights chicken that they threw back in the fryer in the morning and left it in too long. The service was dismal...couldn't even get the waitress to refill coffee. Don't think she cared since she got the automatic gratuity that is added to large groups. Will never go back. read more

Grabbed lunch here recently and had an OK experience. Well, I say lunch, but it was actually brunch :) I was a little surprised that we weren't given a lunch menu since we ate around 11:30 AM, but not a huge deal. We snagged a table inside for our family - it would have been even nicer to eat outside, but all of those tables were taken, unsurprisingly. Our server did a pretty good job of being present throughout our meal, especially since the restaurant was pretty busy. I ordered the deconstructed lox bagel for myself, while my wife got the burger with a side Caesar salad. The food arrived reasonably quickly, and it was pretty tasty! My lox bagel had all of the different ingredients laid out on the plate in piles (smoked salmon, cucumber, capers, and pickled onions) as well as cream cheese in a small bowl. I'm not really sure why they didn't just make the bagel for me - I guess some people like choosing how much of each ingredient to put on their bagel? Anyway, everything tasted good! My wife liked her burger OK but it didn't blow her away. One shocking thing was that the kids' meal was $15, which was virtually the same price as my lox bagel ($17) and my wife's burger ($16)! We got a side of fruit for my toddler instead, which was only $5 and had a surprisingly low percentage of melon :) Normally it's like 80% melon! They also provided crayons for coloring the kids' menu, which is always a nice touch. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience at all, but I'm not sure I would come back here for lunch (or brunch), especially with my kids. The food was decent but not outstanding, and the $15 price tag for the kids' lunch was very surprising. read more

My mom chose this place to celebrate her birthday!! It's inside of the Mayton Hotel. Parking was kind of a hassle but once that was figured out we were good. AS SOON as you enter the front doors it smells AMAZING inside. We were seated fairly quickly and our waitress did an excellent job with recommendations. It appears the menu always changes. Starters: Wings(MUST TRY), Tuna Crudo(I enjoyed it) and the Pork & Pimento Cheese Fondue. I was excited to take the fondue home to have for the next day then we found a string of hair in the fondue, we informed our waitress and the manager came over and apologized and resolved the issue. Outside of that the starters were good. Entrees around the table: Ribeyes, Burgers, Spare Ribs and a Chicken Sandwich. No complaints with any of these. My son said he wished he had a bigger portion of the Spare Ribs. Desserts: Lemon Poundcake with strawberries and gelato(the cake was not moist at all, the strawberries and gelato were definitely the stars on the plate hands down. We also ordered the donuts and coffee, you get 3 small donuts(DELICIOUS) and chocolate gelato, I'm not really a chocolate person so that was just ok in my opinion. Overall everyone enjoyed themselves. I think next time we will come for brunch to see what that's like. read more

Food was great. Service was very attentive will be back. Would recommend if I. The Cary area.

I was looking for a good weekend brunch/lunch spot in Cary and Peck & Plume fit the bill. The Yelp reviews were generally accurate. This place is popular. During our Saturday visit, the dining room and outdoor patio were full and busy. Book your reservation using OpenTable and earn dining points that can be used for discounts at other OpenTable restaurants, Amazon gift cards, and more. Not all restaurants on OpenTable award dining points, but Peck & Plume does, so that's a plus. Peck & Plume opened in August 2021 inside The Mayton. The Mayton was formerly known as The Mayton Inn. Per Cary Magazine, after The Mayton Inn was bought out of bankruptcy in June 2020, it rebranded as The Mayton (they dropped the "Inn" part). It's downtown Cary's only boutique hotel: https://www.carymagazine.com/food-and-dining/welcome-back-to-the-mayton/ I suggest parking in the library parking deck at 113 Walnut St. It's a short walk through the park and up the sidewalk to The Mayton. We had reservations at 11:45am on a Saturday. At that time, there was an event going on in downtown Cary. All street parking around The Mayton was taken. The library deck had plenty of free parking, however. The cuisine is New American. The restaurant serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday, 10am-2:30pm. At brunch, the menu (food and drinks) was a simple one-pager. Here's what our group of four adults and two kids ordered: Brunch Cocktails * Bloody Mary x2 (charged $14 each, menu said $12) - Tito's Handmade Vodka, hand-crafted Bloody Mary mix Soups & Salads * Soup of the Day (sip size, $2) Mains * Two Eggs plate ($15) - applewood-smoked bacon, pork sausage, garlic cheese grits, wheat toast * Warm Stone Fruit Preserves ($15) - biscuits, applewood-smoked bacon, garlic cheese grits * French Toast Brick ($17) - mixed berry crush, mascarpone * Smoked Salmon Scramble ($19) - smoked salmon, dill, chive and brie in a pastry shell with petite mixed green salad * Mayton Burger (charged $15, menu said $14) - aged cheddar, Academy Street Steak Sauce, lettuce, tomato, brioche * Side of Bacon (4 strips for $5) - not on menu * Side of Ranch Dressing ($0.50) - not on menu We shared the Mains. Overall, I thought the food was good, not great. Generally, the quality of the food looked and tasted like it came from a nicer sit-down breakfast restaurant chain like First Watch. It didn't have much of a "local" or "homemade" feel to it, to me. The biscuits weren't the best -- perhaps slightly better than average. I think they could've been moister and fluffier. My favorite dish was the French Toast Brick. I think it's called "Brick" because of its brick-like shape. It was French toast smothered in a sweet and tangy berry sauce with whipped mascarpone. Delicious. Yummy texture too. My wife really liked the Warm Stone Fruit Preserves. I thought it and the Smoked Salmon Scramble were tasty. The Smoked Salmon Scramble was well made. The garlic cheese grits were terrific. You get to choose them as part of the Two Eggs plate (the other choice is breakfast potatoes). They're included with the Warm Stone Fruit Preserves. The Mayton Burger and bacon were solid as well, but nothing to write home about. All that said, nothing was bad and I don't think you can go wrong with anything in the list of items we ordered above. My wife and I enjoyed the Bloody Marys. The Bloody Mary is one of our favorite cocktails and Peck & Plume's version hit the spot. I liked their twist with the cornichon, green olive, and pepperoncini. Yum. Service from our server, Hadley, and the hostess was great. Despite a busy brunch service, Hadley was attentive and everything was served in a timely manner. Peck & Plume and The Mayton have a classy-yet-casual, modern, Southern atmosphere. We ate in the main dining room. There's also a large private event space, the terrace (outdoor patio), and study. The study is a cool space, but it's more like a lounge for drinks rather than a meal. However, I believe you can order food from there. The study has a charming brick storefront with white columns and rocking chairs on the porch. read more

There is always a great excuse to come to downtown Cary. The vibe, the park, the liveliness, and the food. We found out about Peck & Plume and felt we had to check out. The restaurant itself is located within the hotel which is something we didn't know but quickly fell in love with. Lots of great seating options, from semi formal, lounge, bar, and patio. We were blessed with Patio seating, which had views of downtown Cary park. It was a perfect weather day and it was great to sit out there. When we first saw the menu, we did think it was a little basic, but quickly learned that you can do a lot with the basics. For drinks we had coffee and a Bloody Mary, (spicy to my liking). I got the huevos rancheros and my wife got the fried green tomatoes. Back to taking about "basics", check out the pictures. The huevos rancheros came in a light crispy tortilla bowl. With everything inside, the eggs were cooked perfectly the protein was savory and succulent and the sauce was fantastic. My wife had the friend green tomatoes which are a staple, but they came eggs Benedict style and they were perfect. The crispiness of the tomatoes, paired with the beautifully done poached eggs and green hollandaise sauce was simply the best breakfast food. Finally, the experience wouldn't have been complete if it wasn't for our server Lena. She had great recommendations, was always on top of refills, and was just a joy to have accompany us through this culinary delight. I can't speak for dinner, but If you are looking for a great place to have some classic brunch. Do not pass up Peck & Plume read more

We had a retirement brunch here for a colleague and it was a lovely experience. The dining room is very cute and the coffee was very good. They have a good menu with a lot of different options. I got the egg breakfast and I really enjoyed it. The only reason I am deducting a star is because it took quite a long time to have the order taken and for the food to come. We did not have our order taken for about an hour, however, I think there was a misunderstanding with our server as I think they thought we are waiting on one more person. It was not their fault, just a misunderstanding! After the order was taken, it did take about another 40 minutes for the food to come which seemed a but long for breakfast food. I didn't mind as I was very much enjoying the company and the food was good once we did receive it! They also provided our friend a sundae as a happy retirement acknowledgment which was lovely. I would certainly return for brunch. read more

Located inside a hotel the place was very busy and very loud. It appears to be an in spot favorite for ladies as most if the restaurant were female diners. The chicken and waffles was average.

Sunday brunch at the Peck and Plume at the Mayton Hotel in downtown Cary, NC. We sat outside on a beautiful Fall day - screens and louvered ceilings kept the cool air flowing and the sun away from our food. Great drinks - bloody Mary's and mimosas are rich, delicious and loaded with the appropriate alcohol. We had the brick French toast, the shrimp and grits, and the smacked salmon scramble. Southern cooking at its best. Great service added to the experience. A fun Sunday! read more

Unforgettable experience! Server, Rachel P., was so knowledgeable about the menu and truly went out of her way to make sure I had the best dining experience and stay at The Mayton Inn. Clair was our talented server one evening in the library. She was wonderful and made our experience very special. Savannah took care of my whole family for dinner one night and she made it a perfect experience. Jacob was so welcoming and fun behind the bar and made us drinks with presence and flair (pictured). The food was so delicious so I must say, "Compliments to The Chef!" Everything they brought out was a delicacy, true talent there. I especially loved the Cobia Cruda, corn bread, beef tartare, burger and chickpea socca. Also, big shout out to Russel, Thomas and Paul for helping me during my stay. They were kind, generous and accommodating. This is my favorite place to stay and to dine when I am visiting Cary and Raleigh. I can't wait to come back!! read more

Came here with a large party for a weeknight dinner. Wasn't too busy and we had amazing service with our waitress. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night or intimate dinner with friends. Fun drinks and delicious house named whiskey. Everyone raved about their meals, from the salmon to the steak. I had the short ribs with farro risotto and it was spectacular, huge flavor bomb in that risotto and the short ribs were loaded with meat with very little fat/inedible portions. I also started with a Cesar salad and it was OK ( I would pass next time). Most of us also ordered dessert and I would say I was a little disappointed with the chocolate cake, the cake was dry, folks who had the crème brûlée really liked theirs. read more

Food was good, but service was fairly awful. We waited for over an hour for our meal to come out after we ordered it. The Caesar salad was average, but it was nice that you could get actual anchovies. The shrimp and grits was pretty solid but very rich. It's a good dish to share.. had a really nice West Coast IPA by Vicious fishes "there be dragons" Ambiance is charming. It was strange. My husband wanted a roll with his salad, and they appeared to have no bread besides hamburger buns when we were told that there was a great bread bakery just down the street!!! They should take some initiative to pair up with the bakery and serve their bread.... read more

We went to Peck & Plume for breakfast after leaving our dog for surgery. Have nothing but wonderful things to say about the staff at the hotel/restaurant -- very kind to us. But the food ... I can't recommend. My husband got the omelette, which he should have sent back. I got poached eggs, which arrived completely cold ... twice. We decided to leave after try two. The restaurant was busy by then and we were not impressed with how our issue was handled. Would not recommend, even if staying in hotel. read more
