Me and My girlfriend went here for our one year anniversary and got brunch and it was a amazing experience. I loved the atmosphere and the food was delicous. I got chicken and waffles and they were excellently cooked and served very nicely. Well done Peck and Plume!

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!

Fantastic ambience and food.. Not to mention an amazing “You’re a Dream to Me” cocktail. They’ve also restored my faith in smash burgers with their Mayton Burger. It was actually medium instead of [past] well done at other places. Very well executed! The appetizers were also good… The wings, skillet cornbread and cheese board were great The service.. Spectacular and entertaining! I will definitely be back

Stumbled upon this place while trying to kill some time. Nice restaurant. Definitely on the more upscale side. Menu was a little limited but the food was delicious and the ingredients tasted fresh. The wings were honestly so delicious I’d go back tomorrow just to get more. I wish I remembered to take a picture before they were all gone. The blueberry pie was a perfect end to our meal. Would probably come back if we were in the area.

Had a great experience from start to end. I sat on the library section and atmosphere was perfect. Had the cornbread and Chicken Ballotine. Both amazing dishes. Will be back if I’m ever in the area again!

This review is ONLY for the special Bubbles & Ice ticketed dinner & NOT for the actual “normal” dinner service, which we have dined in several times & greatly enjoyed.
We were excited to enjoy a well priced ($85/pp) evening of a 3 course dinner w/ bubble pairing posted for 6pm. We arrived at 5:40 & were told that the doors had to open at 6 so we should wait at the bar. No problem – we had a glass of cava & were happy to wait for the “doors to open.” As all of us were being seated at the same time, it led to a huge group congregating at 6pm waiting to be sat. My husband & I had no clue that it was group seating. We were at a table of 6 – I believe there were 3-4 tables of 6 & another table of 8-10. While we enjoyed our company, had we wanted to have a quiet, private date night, this would have been a major disappointment. Truth be told, we kind of did want our own table as it was a special anniversary, but we took it in stride. I think its important for the website to market it as group dining if that’s the case…
The atmosphere was very kitschy. Wedding chairs, wedding table decor, a bubble machine, & intermittent pours of dry ice into a vase of water on the table. Not really the high-end vibe of a champagne dinner.
The servers were AMAZING!!!!! Waters, champs stayed full – plates cleared, light conversation, everyone moving in unison, etc. They killed it.
The host/sommelier (not sure) kept ringing a bell for the start of the event, palate cleansers, discussion of food/champs, etc. Not to be snobby, but we were drinking Chandon and Veuve – great bubbles, but nothing extraordinary that required bell ringing. It ended up taking away from the event and we felt awkward eating our sorbet until the bell had rung granting us permission. There was way too much focus on unnecessary talking-presentation.
Caviar on potato passed amuse bouche was great but the second was a goat’s milk and sorbet ice. It was odd. It was very tart and off-putting. The first course – smoked scallop crudo – was phenomenal. Amazing smoke flavor with well-chosen accoutrements. Palate cleanser of lemon sorbet with thyme syrup was very sweet. The syrup hardened against the frozen sorbet & was thick and gooey. The second course of rabbit, sausage, & whipped potato was yummy. Very well done! Next palate cleanser of raspberry sorbet and lychee boba was good – better than the lemon, but still overly sweet. I’m not sure how it worked as a palate cleanser with such strong flavors. The dessert was a mascarpone and strawberry panna cotta “cake”. I found it to be strange – a mix of textures w/ random salty bits that didn’t compliment one another. After the 6th or 7th bell ring, the exec chef (Greg Nettles) & chef de cuisine (Tyler Trice) came out — clearly a lot of talent there & with the exception of the cleanser & dessert – crushed it! They very clearly took pride in their work and direction.
Our dinners at the restaurant (sans special meal) was always great, but this “wedding without knowing the parties” was a bit strange. The pours were generous, food (especially savory) good, & price was more than fair… I just really would have wanted to know about the seating, not been interrupted so much, & have more thought put into the decor and flow.
Also, there were missed opportunities. As 75% of us seemed to arrive by 5:45, we should have been seated right away with a special cocktail menu available to us in the back room. More money for you guys and more comfort to the diners. Also, would have loved to have had an opportunity before dessert to be presented a bill and add gratuity for the servers. 20% was already included in our pre-pay, but the staff was going above and beyond and could have been compensated as such. The $85/pp price point was such a good deal that you could have been creative and thought of extras.
We would absolutely return, but hope that this review (and other feedback) be taken into account. Events like this have A LOT of promise, but can be tweaked a bit…

Had a wonderful experience at Peck & Plume! The atmosphere is stylish and relaxed, perfect for a date night or brunch with friends. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a spot that feels upscale but still welcoming.

The food was great and leans on the American South cuisine style. I especially loved the pimiento cheese dip. My toddler loved the egg rolls.
The restaurant is really cute. The only downside was that it was a little noisy. There appeared to be a more intimate section that may be quieter – it was very lovely with couches and curtains.
The server was great – fast and attentive. They also have a bunch of non-alcoholic cocktails.
Overall, I would definitely go back again.

Let me just tell you, run, don’t walk to make your reservations for this place. It was Amazing!!! We were there about 1.5 hours for a party of 5, but that’s pretty normal for a good restaurant. It’s inside The Mayton hotel in downtown Cary..
Shrimp and Grits
Fish Tacos x 2
NY Strip
Stripped Bass with Collard
Bourbon Caramel Apple Tart
Chocolate Sin Cake
Lavender Crème Brūlee
Not pictured-
Pimento cheese and pulled pork dip with fried pita chips * I don’t even like pimento THIS WAS GREAT!!
Collard Egg Rolls- a little on the spicy side but sooo good.
Second visit= New Menu.
The Salmon was the best dinner I’ve literally ever had. The rice and squash was paired perfectly.
The ribeye was delicious- but he did mention the NY strip was better.
Focaccia bread with tomato and squash was a good starter.
Finally, my nephew got the burger that he said was great. He wasn’t expecting the double burger and had to separate them.
Another meal, Another Win for Peck & Plume

Wow! We had an amazing night dining at Peck & Plume. We sat in the library area which was lovely and looked fabulous with the Christmas decorations. We ordered the Pork & Pimento Cheese Dip, Bone-In Short Rib, NY Strip Steak, and the Lavender Crème Brûlée. All menu items were outstanding. Our waiter, Tristen, did an amazing job. He did magic for us at our table, he is basically the Michael Jordan of servers. I highly recommend Peck & Plume and will definitely be returning.
