OpenTable reviews widget for your restaurant website
An OpenTable reviews widget puts verified diner reviews onto your own restaurant website. Paste your OpenTable restaurant URL, choose a layout, and one script tag renders your OpenTable reviews — with food, service and ambience detail — beside Google, Yelp and TripAdvisor in the same grid.

Why show OpenTable reviews on your own site
Diners who book through OpenTable leave some of the most detailed restaurant reviews anywhere. Showing them on your own site — attributed and linked back to the original review — turns lookers into direct bookings.
| Platform | Who it reaches | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| OpenTable | Diners who book online and read verified visit reviews | Essential for restaurants |
| Map pack and 'near me' searches | Essential | |
| TripAdvisor | Travellers planning meals ahead | High |
| Yelp | Local discovery and US diners | Medium |
All 17 supported platforms can live in one grid — see every review source in one widget.

Displaying OpenTable reviews fairly
Only connect a listing you own or are authorised to represent. Reviews are shown as published — reviewer names and photos unchanged, no editing, and no filtering by star rating. Every card carries the OpenTable source badge and links back to the original review, and that attribution cannot be switched off. OpenTable and its logo are trademarks of their owner; Reviews Widget is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by OpenTable.
