Table for two!

Barack Obama was seen having a date night with his wife Michelle at a busy Washington, DC restaurant, the same one where he dined alone amid divorce rumors.

The Obamas enjoyed dinner at the popular spot, Osteria Mozza, following ongoing speculation about the status of their thirty-year marriage.

Customers at the restaurant cheered and applauded when the couple appeared on a staircase in the heart of the trendy eatery, as shown in a video shared on the Washingtonian Problems Instagram page on Monday.

The former president waved to a few fellow diners as they high-tailed it out of the upscale Italian joint that serves “California-style” pasta dishes and dry-aged Bistecca Alla Fiorentina for $175.

Their united front was in stark contrast to the last time Obama was spotted there, when he dined alone just days before President Trump’s inauguration.

Obama received a raucous welcome then, too, as the 63-year-old ex-commander-in-chief casually strolled into the dining room without his wife by his side.

His solo outing came as the rumor mill was in overdrive about the couple’s marriage after Michelle skipped former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral — and then was absent from Trump’s inauguration weeks later.

The 61-year-old former first lady has since hit back at the speculation their marriage was on the rocks, telling Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast earlier this month that her newfound independence was to blame for the rampant gossip.

“The interesting thing is that, when I say ‘no,’ for the most part people are like, ‘I get it, and I’m OK,’” the mom of two said of her decision to turn down invitations to the high-profile events.

“And that’s the thing that we as women struggle with — disappointing people,” she continued.

“So much so that people, they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.”
