Sometimes you just need a girls' night out!

Lea Michele stepped out in West Hollywood last night for a quiet dinner at Dominick's with two female friends.

The Glee star was all smiles while leaving the restaurant with her pals by her side. Michele was dressed casually in black tights and black coat during the outing. She looked beautiful with her hair down and minimal makeup.

One accessory noticeably absent from Michele's wardrobe? Her gold "Cory" name necklace that she's been spotted wearing now and then as a nod to her late beau Cory Monteith, who tragically passed away back in July.

After heading out from the restaurant, Michele hopped behind the wheel of her car and drove away.

"Rise and shine," Michele tweeted this morning. She followed it up with, "Starting the day listening to my girl @Sia's new single #ElasticHeart... She's so talented its crazy! Love you Sia!"

Last week, Michele shared some fun photos from the Glee set. "On set now with the amazing @ddlovato, adamlambert, @chriscolfer & @NayaRivera!" she captioned in one shot of all five of them shooting a musical number.
