Maybe that werewolf role left its mark! Twilight
's Taylor Lautner
was enjoying a low-key dinner with a male and female companion at Locanda del Lago in Santa Monica, Calif., where the actor
was spotted eating a very rare steak. Lautner and his friends sat at a table near a row of windows overlooking the Third Street Promenade during their late dinner. His dinner companions, meanwhile, ordered a risotto dish at the Northern Italian restaurant.
