Blake Lively proved she’s far from a Hollywood diva when she stepped out for dinner with a friend in New York City on Monday.
The actress didn’t seem to mind waiting in line for ten minutes for a table at Don Angie, an Italian restaurant in the West Village neighborhood. Page six.
The It Ends With Us star was taken to a four-seater table, where she sat next to her blonde boyfriend. The two ordered several dishes that filled the table and also had a cocktail or two during their two-hour meal, it was claimed.
And when fans approached Blake for a photo or autograph, she did so with a smile, the source said.
This comes two months after she was accused of being a Hollywood brat for an interview she did years ago with a Norwegian reporter.

The actress didn’t seem to mind waiting in line for 10 minutes for a table at Don Angie, an Italian restaurant in the West Village neighborhood.
The restaurant, known for their salads and lasagna, was packed when Blake stopped by.
She was with a beautiful blonde friend who looked like the cover girl.
When the two were told they would have to wait at least ten minutes for a table, they smiled and said that was fine.
“They just stood in the middle of the restaurant and were very easy to talk to,” the spy told the site.
And they ordered plenty, with the spy saying, “They ate everything legit.” Like everything on the menu. The table for four was full of food.”
There was also ‘a nice cocktail’ on the table.
“A few fans walked over and [Lively] I took a selfie with them while I was eating,” the spy said.

Ryan Reynolds’ wife was also “very nice and polite to the staff.”
‘They were also super nice to the hostess, who apologized if the table wasn’t ready yet. They talked to her for a while,” the insider said.
Lively “enjoyed having his picture taken with some fans who were also dining at the restaurant.”
“She was so warm and kind,” the insider adds.
This comes two months after Blake was accused of being a Mean Girl. Areporter claims that interviewing Lively made her want to “quit her job” amid the ongoing It Ends With Us drama, labeling their chat as the “most awkward situation she had ever experienced.”
Blake has been embroiled in controversy as rumors of a feud between her and her co-star, Justin Baldoni, continue to make headlines.
Amid the drama, award-winning journalist Kjersti Flaa has criticized the Gossip Girl alum, saying she considered leaving the industry after a 2016 interview with Blake went wrong.
She uploaded a clip of the awkward encounter to her YouTube channel with the caption, “The Blake Lively Interview That Made Me Want to Quit My Job.”
Blake and fellow actress Parker Posey had a chat with Kjersti, 51, who is originally from Norway but now lives in California, in 2016 to discuss their film Cafe Society.
A reporter claimed that interviewing Lively made her want to “quit her job,” calling their chat the “most awkward situation she had ever experienced.”

But when Kjersti congratulated the actress, who at the time was expecting her second child with husband Reynolds, on her pregnancy, things immediately became exciting.
Blake didn’t seem amused at all by the comment and replied with a sarcastic joke.
“First of all, congratulations on your little baby bump,” said Kjersti, the founder of Content Now TV.
“Congratulations on your little baby bump,” Blake fired back, as the interviewer giggled nervously.
“What about my bump?” Parker joined in and stood up to show her ass to the camera.
Kjersti, who seemed shocked by Blake’s reaction, then sat awkwardly as the two ladies joked about their various “bumps” together.
And things only got worse when Kjersti asked the women her first question.
Since the film was set in the 1930s, Kjersti wondered if they would enjoy wearing old-fashioned clothing in the film.

But Blake didn’t like the question, and when Parker started to answer, she interjected, “Everyone wants to talk about the clothes, but I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.”
“I would,” Kjersti promised.
Once again, the ladies started talking to each other instead of Kjersti as they discussed some of their favorite outfits that men wore in the film.
The awkward interview continued for a few more minutes before a defeated Kjersti wrapped it up.
“Sitting down with Blake Lively and her co-star Parker Posey for Cafe Society is the most awkward interview situation I’ve ever experienced,” she wrote in the caption.
“Isn’t it okay to congratulate someone on their pregnancy or ask another woman about the costumes she wears in a movie?”
