OpenTable Review Widget for Showit — Free, the Only Free Path
BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Showit is a free, no-code embed that displays your OpenTable reviews anywhere on a Showit canvas. There's a double gap to bridge: OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews — and Showit has no plugin marketplace at all, so there's no app route either. BlooTrue fills both gaps through Showit's built-in Embed Code widget: drag it onto the desktop canvas, paste the snippet into the widget settings, place it again on the separate mobile canvas, and Publish. Note the Showit quirk: the in-app preview does not run third-party scripts, so the widget renders on the live published site only. Every OpenTable review is written by a verified diner — someone who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation — and the widget header shows your real 1–5 star average exactly as it appears on OpenTable, no conversion. That makes it a natural fit for the design-led restaurants, cafés, bistros, and steakhouses that build on Showit. 100+ widget styles, light and dark themes, free custom color picker.

How to embed OpenTable reviews on Showit in 60 seconds
- Paste your OpenTable restaurant URL (https://www.opentable.com/r/your-restaurant) into the configurator above.
- Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
- Click Copy Code to get the one-line HTML embed.
- In the Showit design app: add an Embed Code widget and drag it anywhere on the desktop canvas.
- Paste the embed into the widget's settings panel.
- Switch to the mobile canvas and position the widget there too.
- Click Publish — reviews render on the live site, not in Showit's preview.
Why doesn't OpenTable's own widget show reviews?
OpenTable's official website widget is built to do one thing: take reservations. It never displays the reviews your verified diners leave — those stay on OpenTable's own pages, where competing restaurants are one tap away. For Showit sites the gap is even wider — Showit has no plugin marketplace, so there is no app to install in the first place. Third-party widgets like BlooTrue are the canonical way to surface OpenTable reviews on a Showit site.
