Free OpenTable Review Widgets for Notion

Embed OpenTable diner reviews on any public Notion page in 60 seconds — uses the standard CodePen workaround for Notion's URL-only `/embed` block. OpenTable's own widget only books tables; CodePen + BlooTrue is the only way to show the reviews.

Key facts: 60-second install on Notion · shows reviews OpenTable's widget won't · free Notion plan supported · uses CodePen / JSBin workaround · no OpenTable API key required · schema.org markup on paid plans

Review schema markup, on paid plans

Paid widgets add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD to the page they sit on, so search engines and AI answer engines can read your Google reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. The free plan shows the reviews without the schema. See how the schema works

Why Use BlooTrue for OpenTable on Notion?

The only way to put live OpenTable reviews on a Notion page — OpenTable's widget only books tables and Notion has no plugin layer.

Fills Two Gaps At Once

OpenTable's official widget takes reservations but never shows reviews. Notion has no native HTML block. BlooTrue + CodePen is the only practical path — well-known on Reddit, Stack Overflow, and the Notion community forum.

No OpenTable API Key Required

Works with any public OpenTable restaurant page. No developer application, no API quotas, no restaurant-account access required — just paste your restaurant's URL.

Super, Potion, Fruition Compatible

Third-party publishers that turn Notion pages into standalone websites preserve `/embed` blocks. The CodePen iframe carrying BlooTrue renders identically on Super, Potion, and Fruition.

Auto-Sync With OpenTable

New verified-diner reviews appear on your Notion page automatically every 24 hours. The CodePen pen pulls from BlooTrue's CDN, which pulls from your public OpenTable restaurant page.

How Do I Install BlooTrue OpenTable on Notion?

4 steps. Uses CodePen as a free intermediary because Notion's /embed block only accepts URLs, not HTML.

Build Your Widget & Copy the Embed Code

Use the BlooTrue builder on this page. Paste your OpenTable restaurant URL (e.g. https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant) and your real diner reviews load automatically into the live preview. Click the embed code.

Notion's /embed block only accepts URLs, not raw HTML — so we'll use a free CodePen pen to host the snippet at a public URL.

Host the Snippet in a Free CodePen Pen

Open codepen.io (free signup, no credit card). Click Create → New Pen, paste the BlooTrue embed code into the HTML tab, then click Save.

Once saved, click Change View → Full Page and copy the full-page URL — it looks like codepen.io/your-name/full/abc123. Important: use the /full/ view URL, not the editor URL.

Alternative: JSBin, Glitch, Replit, or GitHub Pages all work the same way.

Paste the CodePen URL into Notion

In your Notion page, type /embed, paste your CodePen full-page URL into the popup, and click Embed link. Notion renders the CodePen full page inside its iframe — your OpenTable reviews appear.

Resize to Fit Your Notion Page

Drag the corners of the embed block in Notion to resize the widget. The widget is responsive inside the iframe. Reviews auto-sync from OpenTable every 24 hours via the CodePen pen — no further maintenance.

OpenTable Review Widget for Notion — Free, CodePen / JSBin Workaround

BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Notion is a free embed for any public Notion page — works around Notion's URL-only /embed block via a free CodePen / JSBin intermediary. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays reviews — and Notion has no native OpenTable integration and no app marketplace, so CodePen + BlooTrue is literally the only practical way to put live OpenTable diner reviews on a Notion page. Notion's native /embed block only accepts URLs, not raw HTML, because Notion is a docs/wiki tool rather than a website CMS in the conventional sense. The well-documented community workaround is to paste the BlooTrue embed snippet into a free CodePen pen (or JSBin), save it, copy the pen's full-page URL (the /full/ view, not the editor), then in Notion type /embed and paste that URL. Notion renders the CodePen full page inside an iframe, and the BlooTrue widget renders inside the iframe with your real OpenTable reviews — genuine 1–5 star ratings from verified diners who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation. The free Notion plan supports this — no paid Notion subscription and no OpenTable API key are required. Notion's “Share to web” feature lets you publish the page as a public read-only URL, and third-party publishers like Super, Potion, and Fruition turn a Notion page into a standalone website with custom domain support — the embedded OpenTable widget renders identically on all of them. It fits any restaurant running its story on Notion: fine-dining rooms, neighborhood bistros, cafés, steakhouses, and multi-venue restaurant groups. SEO note: Notion's own pages don't expose JSON-LD at the page level, so the embed itself emits schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD inside its iframe — Bing and DuckDuckGo pick this up, and Super / Potion sites surface it at the page level via their own meta-tag layer.

Why is BlooTrue + CodePen the only way?

OpenTable doesn't publish a review embed the way Google publishes Place Cards — its official website widget exists purely to book tables and keeps the verified-diner reviews on the OpenTable restaurant page itself. Notion, on the other side, doesn't accept raw HTML in any block — only URLs via /embed. The intersection of those two constraints leaves CodePen + BlooTrue as the only practical path to put live OpenTable reviews on a Notion page.

About OpenTable reviews in this widget

Your OpenTable widget shows the diner reviews from your restaurant's OpenTable page, the one at opentable.com/r. The score heading the widget is the overall star rating and review count OpenTable reports for that page, rather than a number built from the cards. Every review comes from a diner who booked through OpenTable and honoured the reservation, so nobody who did not sit down at your tables can post one. OpenTable's own website widget only takes reservations; pasting it in the hope of seeing diner reviews gets you a booking form, since OpenTable has no review embed.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already have the OpenTable reservation widget on my site, does it show reviews too?

No. OpenTable's reservation widget takes bookings and offers no way to show diner reviews. The BlooTrue widget is a separate one-line embed built from your opentable.com/r restaurant URL, showing the reviews diners left after honouring a reservation, with the OpenTable rating and review count in the header taken from your page.

Are OpenTable reviews worth embedding if diners can only review after a reservation?

Yes, because that rule is what sets OpenTable apart. OpenTable only opens the review form to a diner who honoured a reservation booked through OpenTable, so every card on your site comes from a person who ate at your restaurant on a known date. Sites that let anyone post cannot say that about their reviews.

How quickly does a new OpenTable review reach my website?

On a paid plan, by the next day: the widget refreshes from your OpenTable page every 24 hours, so a review written after last night's reservation appears the following day, and the BlooTrue badge is removed. On the free plan the diner reviews are the ones imported when you first published the widget; new ones do not arrive.

Is the BlooTrue OpenTable widget free for Notion?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Notion. No Notion paid plan required, unlimited widget views, no credit card. The free plan shows your OpenTable diner reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Why doesn't Notion accept raw HTML in the `/embed` block?

Notion's `/embed` block is a URL-only embed: you paste a link, and Notion renders the link's content inside an iframe. Notion does not give you a code block that runs raw HTML, JavaScript, or `<script>` tags. This is a security and consistency design choice — Notion is fundamentally a docs/wiki tool, not a website CMS. The community workaround is to host the HTML snippet in a free intermediary that exposes a public full-page URL, then paste that URL into Notion's `/embed` block.

How does the CodePen workaround for embedding OpenTable in Notion work?

CodePen lets anyone create a free pen, paste HTML/CSS/JS, and serve the result at a public full-page URL like codepen.io/your-name/full/abc123. You paste the BlooTrue OpenTable embed code into the HTML tab of a new pen, save the pen, copy the full-page URL (the `/full/` view, not the editor view), then in Notion type `/embed`, paste the URL, and click `Embed link`. Notion loads the CodePen full page inside an iframe — your OpenTable diner reviews render inside that iframe. JSBin (jsbin.com) works identically as an alternative.

Does OpenTable offer its own review widget for Notion?

No. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews, on your own site or on Notion. The verified-diner reviews stay on your OpenTable restaurant page. That leaves CodePen + BlooTrue as the only practical way to put live OpenTable reviews on a Notion page.

Will the widget work on Super, Potion, or Fruition Notion sites?

Yes. Super, Potion, and Fruition publish a public Notion page as a standalone website. They preserve Notion's embed blocks, so the CodePen iframe carrying the BlooTrue OpenTable widget renders normally on the published Super / Potion / Fruition site. Custom domains and SEO settings on those publishers all coexist with the embedded widget.

Can I avoid CodePen and embed the HTML directly in Notion?

No, not at the moment. Notion has no native HTML / JavaScript code block. The only way to render arbitrary HTML inside a Notion page is to load it via the `/embed` block from a public URL, which means an intermediary host. CodePen and JSBin are the most popular choices because they're free, instant, and have no signup requirement on read. Self-hosting on Glitch, Replit, or GitHub Pages also works — same pattern, just a different host.

Will OpenTable reviews on my Notion page help SEO?

Honest answer: partially. Notion's own pages don't expose JSON-LD to search engines, so structured data on a vanilla `notion.so` URL is limited. The BlooTrue widget injects schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD inside its iframe, which is reliably picked up by Bing and DuckDuckGo. For full Google rich-snippet eligibility on a Notion-published site, use Super or Potion — they expose proper HTML and meta tags at the page level.
