Nothing awkward about it!

Brad Pitt and Courteney Cox reunited for dinner at Beso, the West Hollywood eatery owned by Eva Longoria, on Wednesday night.

Why did Jennifer Aniston's best friend and famous ex-husband (now Angelina Jolie's love) break bread together? The duo share a manager in Cynthia Pett-Dante, who was celebrating her birthday with Pitt, 47, Cox, 46 and 9 other pals, including comic actor Danny McBride.

"Brad was the first to arrive and he hung out at the bar grabbed a cocktail and sort of chatted with patrons. Nice as ever!" a witness tells Us Weekly.

Cox arrived solo a bit later, joining the gang at a table in the private room. She and Pitt "looked happy to see one another, like old friends," one observer notes. "They huddled for a good five minutes, like they were catching up."

Another witness adds, "They were very sweet to each other. He gave her a big hug."

Cox -- on a trial separatoin from husband David Arquette -- has seemingly had a bit more drama of late than Pitt, who's still happily partnered with Jolie 6 years after splitting with Aniston, 42.

"There didn't seem to be any hard feelings," said the witness of Pitt and Cox, whose close pal Aniston was infamously burned by the messy end of her marriage to Pitt. "Everyone was very relaxed."

The second witness adds that Pitt apologized for love Jolie's absence from the fete -- even showing Pett-Dante a "happy birthday" text from Jolie!

The crew feasted on tacos, flatbreads, guacamole and salad, with Pitt ordering a hearty steak and red wine. For dessert? Churros! After the meal, the group -- minus Cox, who had to go back home to daughter Coco, 6 -- hit rocker Chris Cornell's concert at L.A.'s Ford Theater.

Pitt was "incredibly nice," the second Beso witness gushes. "Super super nice guy!"

    He looks way older then his years, so does his playmate Jolie.

    It seems perfectly natural not to have Jolie by his side. She almost never is, except to promote something. She's doing her own thing. It probably works for them, they never have to see other.

    Brad and Jolie are old News..no one wants to hear anything bout them unless it's bad. They are so rich now, and live out of the USA..good riddance.

    Ummm..yeah, that's how adults should act. The only people NOT over this are these celeb mags to make a dollar and the psycho "we hate Angie club". Even JEN is so over it and she's the only one has a right NOT to be...sheez...go find a new cause!

    Older, yes.. wiser, no. What's the rumor that Brad and Jolie are adding to their 880 acre mansion in France and a Fall wedding may be planned, it was on E Entertainment or one of those shows last night.

    oh please! older and wiser? brad was kind because angelina was not there.i read years ago she preferred he not have any contact with jen anistons friends. angelina is so gross!

  • May 06, 2011 - 12:20am January Hawkins

    Of course they got along great. That annoying w hore of his wasn't there. I thought I read Angie didn't allow Brad to chat with Jennifers friends.

  • May 05, 2011 - 11:14pm Leamilaable

    They both look older n wiser .....

    I never knew what anyone saw in Pitt. Younger days he was a bleached blond very effeminate looking male, especially in his modeling pictures. Now he looks like a bum.

  • May 05, 2011 - 8:12pm Randy Bellows

    Pitt looks much older then he is. I love Courtneys eyes, they're so pretty.

    Can you hire better proof readers? How can you publish articles with spelling errors?

  • May 05, 2011 - 5:18pm Hanhan Solosolo

    This sounds like brad wrote it himself. the manager probably wrote it for him. LoL He looks so greasy and sleazy. Courtney looks good

  • May 05, 2011 - 5:01pm Gilkana Molina Ribera

    When I read "Reunion" I thought the two of them got together for dinner. You know, like you call your friend and say 'hey, let's go out for a bite'. LOL... why can't the headline say "Cox and Pitt saw each other at their shared agent's b.day"... just sayin' anyway, as grown ups, it's good to see they are civil and friendly.

  • May 05, 2011 - 4:47pm Lavina Boykin

    Everyone else has moved on, it's the rag mags that have not. Enough already.

  • May 05, 2011 - 4:42pm Shannon Burmatoff

    Courteney looks old and tired
