Diners at the West Hollywood hotspot Mirabelle were in for a treat Tuesday night when Britney Spears showed up with her assistant/cousin Alli Sims, friend/manager Sam Luftus as well as another gal-pal.
The outing occurred hours after Britney returned her kids- whom she spent the afternoon with- to ex-husband Kevin Federline.
The pop star, who was also just ordered to pay Federlines $120,000 attorney fees, went shopping for chandeliers before arriving at Mirabelle’s at 9:30 p.m.
Brit and her friends immediately went upstairs where they dined in privacy in Mirabelle’s VIP room, away from all the shutterbugs.
Britney skipped out on alcohol for the 2 ½ hours she spent at the trendy restaurant, opting instead to wash down the signature Classic Angus Boneless Beef Shortribs and the Tuna Tartar with water and orange juice.
This isn’t Britney’s first visit to Mirabelle in recent weeks. On October 28th, she had come in for some information regarding the private VIP room for a possible party. 
David and Victoria Beckham, Eva Mendes, and Jimmy Fallon are among other celebrities to have dined at Mirabelle in the past month.
As the longest family-owned restaurant on the Sunset Strip, Mirabelle, which is currently celebrating its 36th birthday, is loved by celebrities for its casual-cool ambience, as well as the newly renovated VIP room, which provides much needed privacy and seclusion. The VIP dining room also boasts a built-in bar as well as a patio overlooking West Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio, Halle Berry and Phil Maloof are among the celebrities to host private parties at this popular hotspot.
