Taking some time away from her busy schedule, Lea Michele headed over to Dominick’s restaurant in Los Angeles on Monday night (September 30).

Joined by a pair of female friends, the “Glee” actress looked to be in good spirits as she made her exit and scurried off to her swanky Range Rover SUV.

And while Lea has been going through the slow and painful grieving process following the death of her boyfriend Cory Monteith, it seems she’s found joy in her work.

Miss Michele posted several pictures to her Instagram account last week, posing with costars like Naya Rivera and Chris Colfer.
