Pat, 77, was photographed days before his final episode of Wheel of Fortune aired.
He and Lesly, 59, joined friends at an Ivy at the Shore in Santa Monica.
Lesly wore jeans, a white blouse with flowers and open brown heels.
She added a designer bag and sunglasses to her look and had her wavy brown hair down and loose behind her.
Pat ditched the usual suit look and instead wore blue pants, a white collared shirt and a blue sweater on top.
He added black dress shoes and designer shades to complete the look.
RARE TOUR
This is the first time the couple has been photographed together in seven years.
Pat was seen getting out of the car and had a piece of paper and a wad of cash in his hand when he, Lesly and another couple entered the restaurant.
The couple, known for their privacy, were photographed having lunch outdoors.
They enjoyed the sea breeze while chatting with friends.
Ivy at the Shore is very close to the Pacific Ocean and is very popular with older residents.
Although Pat’s final episode aired on June 7, he has finished filming the show since April, so he has more time for family and friends.
TAKE OFF HAT TO HIM
In May, Pat was spotted running an errand alone.
He wore jeans, a brown button-down shirt, beige shoes, a baseball cap and sunglasses on May 22.
