Onlookers told SunOnline it appeared as though "all was forgiven" as Justin, 38, was extra attentive to his actress wife, 37, rubbing her shoulders and leaning in to her.
The pair have not been seen together since The Sun obtained photos and video footage of Justin getting hands on with his Palmer co-star Alisha Wainwright.
The pair were seen holding hands and Alisha was pictured stroking his knee during a boozy night out.
But Justin and Jessica appear to be back on track as they enjoyed a three-hour dinner date on Wednesday night.

An onlooker said: "It seemed like all was forgiven - for sure.
"Justin seemed to be intently focused on conversation with Jessica.
"He was extra attentive, rubbing her shoulders and leaning in to her.
"There was a couple of times when it seemed the conversation was a bit tense with both looking deep in thought.
"But the two ate off of each other’s plates as they engaged in conversation.
"Then they left the hotel arm in arm after what looked to be a fun dinner date."

The couple, who have been married for seven years and have one son together Silas, four, were widely thought to have one of the most rock-solid marriages in Hollywood - often posting heartfelt videos on social media.
However rumors the marriage was on the rocks surfaced after the Sun revealed how Justin got over-friendly with actress Alisha, as they partied at The Absinthe House, on Bourbon Street, in New Orleans last month.
The star had been wearing his wedding ring earlier in the week - but was not seen with it during the night out.
One witness told The Sun: "At one stage he grabbed her hand and rested it on his knee. She then gently started stroking his leg.
“Then he clutched her hand with both of his and was playing with her hands.”

The pair were alone on a balcony for around 40 minutes before they joined a small group inside.
Afterwards Justin posted a lengthy and emotional apology on Instagram saying he made a "strong lapse in judgement".
He added: "I stay away from gossip as much as I can, but for my family, I feel it is important to address recent rumors that are hurting the people I love.
"A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgment — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my costar.
"I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known better."

"This is not the example I want to set for my son," the ex-NSYNC star added: "This is not the example I want to set for my son.
“I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be.
"This was not that. I am incredibly proud to be working on Palmer.
"Looking forward to continuing to make this movie and excited for people to see it.
