Images from their date showed Gene wearing a pair of cargo pants, a plaid shirt, grey zip-up vest, and a pair of black sneakers, while holding a black walking stick in one hand.
For his latest outing, the actor - who has withdrawn almost entirely from the spotlight in the years since his last on-screen turn - donned a similarly casual ensemble, although he went without his walking stick.

He was dressed perfectly for a casual day out, sporting a grey fleece sweater over a casual dark blue plaid shirt, charcoal sweatpants, and black sneakers.
His outfit was completed with a khaki baseball cap, while his grey hair was tucked behind his ear under the headwear, and he wore his facial hair in a neat mustache.
The legendary actor sported a similar outfit when he grabbed a bite to eat with his wife, who donned a floral blouse and a pair of dark denim jeans.
After grabbing himself an apple pie and coffee, Gene headed back to his car.
The couple's outing last month marked the first time they were seen together in public for 21 years, with the last time being at the 2003 Golden Globe Awards, where he won the Cecil B. deMille award.
It was also a rare sighting of the star himself. Gene's last movie role was in 2004 alongside Ray Romano and Christine Baranski in the hit comedy Welcome To Mooseport.
Later that same year, Gene gave a rare interview to Larry King, in which he announced that he had no new film projects lined up and believed his acting career was over.
Years later, he confirmed his retirement while promoting his third novel, Escape From Andersonville in 2008.

Gene (seen in 2003) treated himself to a fruity dessert and some caffeine at a Sante Fe, Mexico gas station - just four months after he celebrated his 94th birthday

He told Reuters at the time: 'I haven't held a press conference to announce retirement, but yes, I'm not going to act any longer.'
'I've been told not to say that over the last few years, in case some real wonderful part comes up, but I really don't want to do it any longer.'
He also explained his passion for writing novels, saying: 'I like the loneliness of it, actually. It's similar in some ways to acting, but it's more private and I feel like I have more control over what I'm trying to say and do.'
'There's always a compromise in acting and in film, you work with so many people and everyone has an opinion. … I don't know that I like it better than acting, it's just different. I find it relaxing and comforting.'
In 2011, he was asked by GQ if he would ever come out of retirement to do one more film, to which Hackman responded: 'If I could do it in my own house, maybe, without them disturbing anything and just one or two people.'
