Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, 47, and her actor beau, 48, were spotted outside the establishment.

He was joined there by his wife Laura Savoie, 34, and their pet dog Peaches.
Dennis said: “I’ve been through several fires here in California in my 45 years in and around here, and this is the worst one bar none. It came up so suddenly.’
He told NBC he counted himself “lucky” because ‘so many friends’ had suffered worse, saying: “My agent, he lost both of his houses, and another good friend over in the Palisades, he just moved into a house and he was renting the other one and he lost both of ’em.
“We’re fighting as hard as we can to save our city – gosh, I never thought I’d say that.”
Around 150,000 residents have been ordered to evacuate as powerful 80mph winds threatened to fan the fires further afield yesterday.
