7 Things We Love About The Mayton

If you still need convincing, here are 7 things we absolutely love about The Mayton. First up is the amazing food that you’ll find.

Dine at Peck & Plume

Named in honor of the hotel’s view overlooking Downtown Cary Park and the birds that reside there, Peck & Plume is The Mayton Inn restaurant that opened in 2021.

Hotel guests can purchase a breakfast package during their stay at The Mayton. Of course, area residents and visitors are welcome to eat here, as the restaurant is also open to the general public.

The Mayton Menu included breakfast and brunch options include classic waffles and pancakes, avocado toast, chicken and waffles, and much more. Expand your palate with their lunch menu consisting of duck quesadilla, salmon sandwiches, tacos, and more traditional dishes.

Close out a day of exploring Cary with a meal from their extensive dinner menu and a cocktail.

One of Peck & Plume’s defining characteristics is the four unique dining spaces they offer. Their traditional dining room has upscale decor and classy tableware.

For special events like birthdays and celebrations, book their private dining room for a night of good food and laughter.

On quiet, rainy days, the Study is the perfect place for a cup of coffee or a lazy lunch. Sunnier skies call for a meal out on the Terrace, the restaurant’s outdoor seating area overlooking the Park.
