Jennifer Aniston, whose romantic travails with the likes of John Mayer and ex-husband Brad Pitt have endeared her to fans as an Everygirl, was spotted on an apparent date in Los Angeles Wednesday night with a restaurant heir who once dated actresses Lindsay Lohan and Hayden Panettiere.

"The Switch" star Aniston, 41, was seen having dinner, drinks and dessert at the Sunset Tower Hotel with Harry Morton, 29, son of Hard Rock Cafe founder Peter Morton and grandson of Arnie Morton, founder of the Morton's steakhouse chain. RadarOnline.com said a source reported that Aniston looked "a little nervous, putting her hair up in a loose bun and laughing at everything he said" as they ate at a corner table.

When Morton went to the restroom, the source said, Aniston " took the opportunity to primp by reapplying her lipstick." Morton paid for the meal and left in his Jeep, while Aniston was taken out the back way by hotel security to avoid the paparazzi who shot Morton's exit.

Morton, who owns the L.A. nightclub The Viper Room, a Mexican restaurant and a chain of taco eateries, reportedly dated Lohan for three months in 2006. But he later told Inked magazine: "I didn't really date her. This is one of those things where people will say, 'Yes, you did.' But I really didn't. . . . You hang out with someone for, like, one week and they can extend that for, like, two months' worth of pictures."

Morton also dated former "Heroes" TV star Panettiere briefly in August 2009.
