(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Mel Gibson was spotted with a mystery blonde woman at a restaurant yesterday.

The actor spent time at contemporary eatery Moonshadows in Malibu with his lady friend on Sunday evening.

This was the first time Mel had visited the restaurant for five years.

The star had been drinking at Moonshadows in July 2006 before he was famously stopped by police. Mel unleashed an anti-Semitic rant at a police officer after he was pulled over for suspected drunk driving

However, this time Mel enjoyed a much quieter evening.

Witnesses claim he had a low-key dinner with his companion, before being picked up and driven home.

"Mel was only having dinner with a mystery blonde lady - not boozing - and he had a DRIVER take him home," reports TMZ.

Mel appears to have turned over a new leaf. Even though he has been spotted out more recently, sources have described him as "pretty relaxed and chilled".

Earlier this month it was reported he didn't "touch a drop" of alcohol despite partying with Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt at Beacher's Madhouse in Los Angeles.

Even though the group spent $250,000 on champagne, Mel was spotted giving the alcohol out to fellow guests.

Mel is currently believed to be working on a movie about Jewish warrior Judah Maccabee. (C) Cover Media
