After all that she's been through, it's so good to see her smile!

On Monday night Lea Michele dined with several pals at Dominick's in Hollywood, and after a busy week of shooting in New York City with Adam Lambert and Demi Lovato, it looks like the 27-year-old Glee starlet was able to let loose a little bit.

It's been about 2 and a half months since her boyfriend Cory Monteith was found dead of an overdose in a hotel room in Vancouver, Canada, and from the looks of it she's coping amazingly well. In a special tribute episode of the hit Fox show, Monteith will be honored, and there was a reference to him on Monday's episode when Lea's character looks at a group photo on her cell phone of her former Glee club members. So sad!
