Displaying different navigation for different pages on a wordpress site

I am working on a restaurant site where they have 3 different locations. I would like to display different navigation on those different locations by selecting page id and displaying the nav for that site and sub pages. Basically the 3 locations are the microsites. I was thinking of an if statement like this...

<?php if(is_page(1)) //display menu for this page elseif(is_page(2)) //display menu for page 2 else //display selected default menu ?>

I would be selecting it using page ids Any suggestions of where/how to start?

That sounds like that would work fine. You can even create the 4 menus in the wordpress dashboard and just call the menu function from the statement that checks which one to show.

Getting it from ID's is usually bad practice. The ID's could easily change in the future. Get the pages by their slugs to make it more bullet proof or their custom templates if applicable.
