Mother’s Day Feast in the Grand Ballroom

Celebrate mom this Mother’s Day with a feast in the Grand Ballroom of The Westin Raleigh-Durham. On Sunday May 10, 11am–2:30pm, gather with family to enjoy a buffet-style experience centered around wood-fired cooking, live chef stations, and the unhurried pleasure of a long Italian table.

The spread moves from morning into midday. Start at the made-to-order Farmhouse Omelet Station, then make your way to the La Pasta Station for handmade spaghetti and baked rigatoni. The Carving Station features Herb-Crusted Prime Rib with truffle Parmesan mashed potatoes and natural au jus. The Coastal Market offers Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail and Wood-Fired Atlantic Salmon. Il Falò Corner brings housemade meatballs and Chicken Piccata, while a Spring Salad Garden, Fresh Fruit display, and Classic New York Cheesecake round out the table, plus scoops from Cary’s Geluna Gelato cart. Mimosas, cocktails, beer, and wine are available at the cash bar.

Pricing: $69 per adult | $24 per child 12 – 6 years old | FREE children 5 and under
