Peck & Plume

Peck & Plume sits inside The Mayton on South Academy Street, pairing polished-yet-casual modern American dining with views of Downtown Cary Park. Full-service teams welcome guests to the dining room, bar, study, and breezy terrace for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch six days a week.

Menus showcase seasonal Southern accents, from skillet cornbread with whipped honey butter and cobia crudo starters to butternut squash agnolotti, bourbon tasso shrimp and grits, and the double-stacked Mayton Burger. Brunch keeps the energy lively with French toast bread pudding, duck confit hash, and a rotating Benedict, alongside signature Mayton Mimosas poured by the glass or pitcher.

That commitment to craft earned Peck & Plume the 2025 Cary Magazine Maggy Award for Best Brunch, underscoring the kitchen led by chef de cuisine Joseph Tyler Trice. Guests can stretch out on the terrace, reserve a private dining room, or linger at the full bar for wine-driven pairings and classic cocktails before exploring the neighboring Downtown Cary Park.
