Lenore Nolan-Ryan Cooking School & Catering

Wish I could give more stars ! Very professional. Excellent food and staff. Top notch indeed. Will definitely use her and her staff again. Showed up on time and devotes her soul into each event and project. Highly recommended!

Was here for a work team building event and cooked The Beef Wellington. Amazing time and direction from the owner and teams. Would highly recommend!

My review is long overdue! Your lasagna is the best - especially the vegetarian (gluten free). I ordered it, you cooked it in my pans and I served it! Thanks for making me look great!

We had Lenore cater my mother's memorial service reception and a family dinner the night before. Lenore is fantastic to work with - extremely pleasant, accessible, professional, fabulous taste in cuisine, creative, and a great team. Everything she did was wonderful and she and her team made what was a very bittersweet weekend lovely. Thank you Lenore!!

Based on a recommendation from a friend, I stopped by Lenore Nolan-Ryan's office and event space to discuss with her how she might cater a cocktail party for 20 people I was gong to have in my apartment. We discussed the hors d'oeuvres options she offers on her website, how she determines the quantity to prepare, and the pricing. Lenore also provides staffing, which for my party for 20 people consisted of one walk-around server and one bartender. I chose to provide my own wine, spirits, and glassware. Lenore and her associate came over to my apartment for a site-visit to determine where best to locate the staging area, the bar, and placement of the hors d'oeuvres that would not be walked around by the server, and they made additional helpful recommendations based on their years of catering experience. One hour before the start time for the cocktail party, the staff arrived and set up everything. I could not have been more pleased ! All the hors d'oeuvres looked spectacular and, most importantly, tasted absolutely delicious! The catered food was a great success ! After the party, the staff completed a total clean-up of the food and bar areas and packaged the leftover hors d'oeuvres for keeping in my refrigerator. In sum, I had an stress-free party that all my guests enjoyed, with most of the credit for the success going to the catered food and service provided by Lenore Nolan-Ryan ! I give the highest recommendation I can !

Lenore Nolan - Ryan Cooking school is the best party in town!! 21 of us celebrated my birthday there and it was an absolute blast. The environment is warm and welcoming. They food and instruction were wonderful and everyone on the staff was warm and friendly. I highly recommend an evening with Lenore!! Cheers!

Lenore is the best chef 👩‍🍳 and her care for her clients is amazing. She is delightful and does an excellent service teaching people to cook

We engaged Lenore's team to cater a cocktail party for 45 people tonight and we couldn't be happier with the outcome: the food was imaginative and beautifully presented and delicious and a remarkable value for the money. The service was top notch, too. Highly recommended!

I picked this for a corporate event for my team and it was a HIT. Food was 5/5, the staff and trainers was 5/5, and the event overall could not have been more perfect. Book this for your team!

Lenore was fabulous host and cook for our class. She tolerated our shenanigans and was a gracious host. A fabulous meal was amazing and we all left happy

The team at Lenore Nolan-Ryan recently hosted my company for a private event. We were welcomed with drinks and great conversation. The staff quickly seemed like friend you’ve known your entire life. At the cooing stations all the instructors were the prefect amount of instruction while allow you to own the process. Having done events like this in the past this one was much more DYI over steps. The only rules were to have fun. The food was amazing. I was so surprised that my team created it. It goes to show you anyone can cook and have fun in the process. My only wish was that they were closer to my hometown in Austin so I could go more often. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a great company team building outing.

Every bite is deelicious. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant feels so warm and inviting.I'm looking forward to having another meal there ASAP.

Attended a cooking class here about 5+ years ago w/ my sister and a friend. Ut was honestly one of the best experiences ever. I felt like I was cooking at my aunt’s house. Fun and useful class

Really so not so a reviews especially if it's not nice. I've did tons of reviews that I absolutely loved to commend them on the excellent service, and if it wasn't something else was in place to communicate the absence of it. Let me first start off by saying the food was good kinda bready on the shrimps.First the manager took our order without writing anything downSecond out of five people 2 adults 2 children and six monthl old they only came back25 mins later with 3 of the 5 orders.Third 20 minutes later they didn't realize they did. Another girl took the order again to only bring out one of the two orders they forgot.Fourth they never came back to the table and asked us how we were doing or any refills. After being entirely frustrated they didn't forget to bring us the check and to charge us an 18 percent gratitude. My understanding is according to their menus it States that six people or more they automatically add a18 percent gratitude somehow they didn't forget to add the six month old baby drinking a bottle.Understaffed, close down if you can't keep up with servicing others especially if you aren't the stadium.Never compromise good food for poor service. When the service is good the food even if it's not the best it just taste better.

Lenore’s special “one of a kind” recipes are extraordinary. She just prepared food for one of our events and everything was exquisite!! I highly recommend her cooking school, too. Lenore is the very BEST!
