I would recommend using .NET Web API.
You can read more about it here: http://www.asp.net/web-api

Just add a new Web API project, which communicates with your data-access layer, and you're good to go!

The easiest way would be to use WCF Data Services. This makes it easy to expose an Entity Framework model using the OData protocol, which uses the semantics of REST.

See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668792(v=vs.110).aspx for more about WCF Data Services. This requires .NET 4.0 or 4.5.
