Way to start Breaking Dawn!

How did Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart get ready

 to shoot Breaking Dawn last Wednesday, Oct. 20?

They went with the other big stars of the film — and the director

and producers — for a major steak blow-out …

and we’ve got all the most delicious details!

Our source tells us that the film’s director Bill Condon

rented out a private room at Fleming’s Steakhouse

and there were about 30 people in attendance,

including Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz,

Ashley Greene, and Nikki Reed.

Of course, Rob and Kristen were totally affectionate with

 one another right in front of their castmates, we’re told, holding hands “all night.”

One VIP who wasn’t there — Ashley’s man Joe Jonas.

We’re presuming even he couldn’t penetrate the vampire/werewolf coven.

And our insider tells us that the cast got to the restaurant

around 8:30 PM and stayed until 11 PM!  

The stars had a full five-course meal and ate everything

 from Prime NY Strip steak, crab cakes, soup, salad

 and they even had “fresh redfish” flown in especially

 for the occasion! They finished their meal with a

 choice between fresh berries, cheesecake, and creme brulee.

The cast, we’re told, was “extremely nice”

and everyone remained seated throughout the night,

instead of getting up and walking around the joint.

Our source tells us that they even asked for the

“music to be turned down” so they could hear themselves talking to each other!

Rob wore a vintage T-shirt with a shirt unbuttoned over it with slacks,

and Kristen wore jeans.

They were seated right next to director Condon,

Ashley and Nikki, and spent most of the night talking to them.

At the end of the night,

everyone got picked up by the same black

 SUV’s that dropped them off and the

director and one of the producers split the tab.

This is just the beginning of many dinners for

 this cast — they’ll be in Louisiana for the next seven months!
