there's an app for that! ~ redefining modern dining with an i-pad application
aria restaurant has launched an interactive, table-side application that diners can access on provided apple^® i-pads.  the application, developed by aria restaurant in partnership with chicago interactive agency envisionit media, inc., is a responsive version of the traditional restaurant menu.

as guests browse the menu on the i-pad, they can tap on specific ingredient names for definitions and descriptions. the wine list, organized by region, will suggest menu pairings for each vintage, as well as background information about each winery. the application also incorporates elements of social media, allowing guests to share their favorite items with people they know via email, their twitter feeds or facebook walls.

in addition to the interactive dining capabilities, the i-pad application also tells the story of aria's interior design and includes background information about chad starling, chef de cuisine at aria restaurant.
