The Restaurant Awards app defaults to first showing you restaurants near your current location. 


Tap the bar at the top of the page that says "Restaurants near Current Location." That will call up additional search options. There are two search bars. 


In the top bar, you can enter criteria such as restaurant name, cuisine (eg. French, Chinese) or wine strength (eg. Burgundy, Chile) if you want to narrow your results. Or you can leave this blank and focus only on location.


In the second bar, after the toggle that says "near," you can enter any specific address, city or other location. (If you want to search within the borders of a state or country, for best results, switch the toggle to "within" and enter the name.)


As a shortcut, our app will automatically suggest matching locations in a list below the search bar. If you see the correct match, tap the name to select it. 


Tap the Search button to generate a new map and list of matching restaurants.
