Jessica Alba says her first teenage date was a total disaster.

The beautiful 'Fantastic Four' actress has revealed she was horrified when she arrived at the eatery, which had been recommended by friends, and realised it was a themed fancy dress café.

Jessica, who is expecting her first child with long-term partner Cash Warren, said: "My favourite disaster story is a first date with a guy who was a friend. It was awkward as we weren't really sure if we wanted to date each other.

"I picked this restaurant, I thought it was going to be an intimate, five-star place, where people wouldn't recognise us. It turned out to be a theme restaurant - all the waiters were dressed as pirates and the customers were senior citizens. It was so embarrassing!"

Jessica, who briefly split from Cash earlier this year, rekindled their romance by revisiting their favourite restaurants.

The 26-year-old actress, who has been dating Cash since they met on the set of 'Fantastic Four' in 2004 where Cash was working as a director's assistant, recently revealed she was planning to take a break from Hollywood.

She said: "I am going to take eight months off. I've worked the last two and a half years without stopping. This is the time to do it."
