Just in time for the Valentine’s Day rush, the update will also offer a new, iPhone-exclusive restaurant called Romantic Rendezvous for in-app purchase. This new restaurant will feature ten “Snack Pack” bonus levels where players can transform a run-down café into the perfect place for Valentine’s Day dates. To further set the mood, players can place beautiful bouquets of flowers on tables for bonus points.

“Diner Dash on the iPhone and iPod touch has been a big hit with mobile gamers and fans of the Diner Dash series,” says Chris Williams, Senior Product Manager of PlayFirst. “With the new Diner Dash update we’re giving players more of what they love about the series: the ability to tap, touch or slide their fingers to seat and serve customers on their way to restaurant renown, improving the landscape of time-management games in the mobile space.”

The update also serves up refined controls, offering greater flexibility for players of all skills and gaming preferences.  iPhone fanatics will also now be able to share their culinary accomplishments with friends by using the new Facebook functionality, allowing players to post high scores to their Facebook pages.
