Jessel Taank got more than dinner when she dined out at Cote Korean Steakhouse in New York City on Friday.
The “Real Housewives of New York City” star, 45, exclusively told Page Six Radio’s Ian Mohr, Evan Real and Danny Murphy on Tuesday that she had a run-in with Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon, who stepped out the same evening for an A-list double date with Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid.
And when the famous pals got up to leave after they finished their dinner, Taank said, the “F1” star got a standing ovation.
“It was very cute because they were with Bradley Cooper’s mom at dinner,” the reality star recalled. “And then when they got up to leave, everyone was clapping. He got like a standing ovation.”
When asked if she was “serious,” Taank quipped, “I mean it’s Brad Pitt, you guys.”
The reality TV personality confessed that she was “stomping” her feet and “clapping” when the high-profile party left the building.
Elsewhere in the interview, Taank explained that she’s “friends” with the restaurant’s general manager and that she made plans for dinner with friends at the swanky steakhouse that evening.
“So we go inside, and the GM comes up to me and he’s like, ‘Just FYI, Brad Pitt is in the building,’” she recalled him whispering.
When asked by Murphy if she was “freaking out” at the sight of the “Bullet Train” star, Taank admitted she was indeed impressed.
“Yes, because there’s like, probably three people that are on my ‘list,’” the Bravolebrity divulged. “And it’s Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio — who I’ve seen — and Magic Mike,” she said, referring to the 2012 movie’s star, Channing Tatum.
When she spotted Pitt at Cote, Taank admitted she was so starstruck she “couldn’t focus” during her night out.
“I kept going up, pretending to pee, walking past their table,” she shared. “I’m like, ‘What are they doing?’”
She also said Pitt, who wore a pair of velvet jeans paired with a shiny blue top, “looked amazing.”
Photos published by Page Six on Saturday revealed de Ramon, 32, wearing a butter yellow mini dress on the stylish date night as she held hands with Pitt, 61, outside the restaurant.
Hadid, 30, stunned in a casual denim jacket and silver pants, while Cooper, 50, matched her laid back vibe in a simple black tee and a pair of dark blue jeans.
But for Taank, the main attraction was Pitt.
“He looked like a silver fox,” she gushed.
