Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are keeping their romance alive despite currently living in separate parts of the country.

The Green Lantern actor is in Boston filming his new movie and the Gossip Girl star is needed on set in New York.

But the pair made time for each other this weekend when Blake went to visit Ryan in the Massachusetts city for some quality time.

People magazine are reporting that the pair enjoyed a quiet dinner for two at L'Espalier restaurant in the fashionable Back Bay neighbourhood on Saturday.

"They started with caviar and oysters on the half shell and went on to clam chowder and beet salad," an insider told the publication.

"For entrees a lobster and a halibut dish. And for dessert a souffl.

"They sat alone at a table by a window overlooking Boylston Street."

Ryan and Blake have been getting hot and heavy over the past few weeks following her split from Leonardo DiCaprio.

The pair were reportedly also seen house-hunting together in the Big Apple recently and looked at a $4.35 million three-bedroom penthouse.

"When they were done, she left the building first, wearing tall boots, jeans, coat and fedora, and got straight into a Town Car, and then Ryan exited into the same car," a source told New York Post. "Her little dog was waiting with the driver in the front seat."

"They seem really happy together," an insider told more! magazine.

"Things are moving fast and I think he's already telling friends how he can't imagine life without her. She makes him smile and is down to earth. I'm sure the next step must be to move in together."
