Auto Care:
Redwood General Tire – 1630 Broadway – Whether you are looking for a new set of tires or need
repair work on your vehicle, this Redwood City institution has been providing quality vehicle services
since 1957. Redwood General Tire was founded on the premise that good customer service and
quality products at fair prices will succeed in the marketplace. They continue to follow this philosophy
today and expect it to guide them into a successful future. Many of their satisfied customers
have been with them since their founding and continue to do business with them today.
They proudly serve the third generation of many of their first Redwood City customers.
Eating and Catering:
Canyon Inn – 587 Canyon Road – You will find everything at this Redwood City favorite. The
Canyon Inn is nestled in the small, quiet neighborhood of Emerald Hills. It’s a popular stop for
bicycle touring clubs and local sports celebrities such as members of the San Francisco 49ers. But
the reputation draws celebrities and personalities from all over the world. The restaurant is noted
for its burgers and beers, most notably the Hacksaw Burger, a big double cheeseburger named after
Jack “Hacksaw” Reynolds. The Canyon Inn also offers hot and cold sandwiches, hot dogs, fish and
chips, spaghetti, ravioli, lasagna, tacos and quesadillas. If you use their coupon in this month’s
Spectrum, you can get 10 percent off all meals. Now that’s an offer you cannot pass up!
Diving Pelican Café – 650 Bair Island Road, Suite 102 – This restaurant may be the best-kept
secret in Redwood City. They offer a variety of specialty items, including eggs Benedict with fresh
crab and homemade hollandaise sauce. They also have beer, wine, and espresso drinks available to
go. For your convenience, they have outdoor seating that overlooks the water. Conveniently located
half a mile from the freeway, it’s easy to stop by and visit. Try the famous pear, walnut, gorgonzola
and grilled chicken salad. It is so delicious that people come from all over to enjoy it! They
also have a seasonal specialty, which is mango pasticcio and feta cheese salad with grilled chicken.
People tell us that they want to keep the cafe a secret, because it is such a nice location with outstanding
food. We won’t tell anyone?
Encore Performance Catering – 2992 Spring St. – Owner Dave Hyman’s menu goes on for eight
pages of mouthwatering suggestions for everything from continental breakfasts to formal dinners.
Despite an entire page devoted just to warm appetizers, these are mere suggestions, and Hyman is
quick to offer additional possibilities to fit any occasion. He also has a strong sense of community
and participates in many community-oriented events. Additionally, Hyman is proud of the fact that
his business products are nearly 100 percent recyclable, and they contribute their leftovers to St.
Anthony’s Padua Dining Room in Redwood City. Need a caterer for that party or event? Call Dave
at (650) 365-3731.
Little India – 917 Main St. – This stylish Indian restaurant features a reasonably priced all-youcan-eat
buffet for both lunch and dinner. The home-style food is mainly from the northwest region
of India, and items from other regions of India are also featured. The food is low in fat and sodium.
You can dine in or take out. Senior citizens receive $1 off, and children (under 12) dine at half
price. Bring your appetite, because you will want to try everything!
New Kapadokia – 2399 Broadway – From soups, salads and kebabs to entrees of doner, et kavurma
and vegetarian manti, this restaurant is Turkish cuisine at its best! A special lunch menu at
$6.95 for all entrees makes it even better. Wine and Turkish beer are available. This restaurant is
a must try for all Redwood City residents and friends!
Savvy Cellar Wines – 2048 Broadway – One of the newest “hot spots” in town, they provide daily
specials of wine tasting flights. The specials are rotated biweekly, and all wines are drawn from their
retail wine shop inventory. The wine bar is always open during regular business hours. Sampling
wines side by side is a great way to expand your wine knowledge. All their wines are rated 90 and
above, and all bottles are priced $39 or less. They have live jazz once a week. They also provide
great food complements to wine: artisan cheeses, quiches, fresh baguettes, olives, chocolates and
more. Tuesday through Saturday (11–2) they offer a European lunch plate for $11.95, which
includes quiche, cheeses, baguette, fruit and a glass of wine. Taste what you want. Buy what you
like.

Edward Jones – 702 Marshall St., #515 – For decades, Edward Jones believed in building relationships
through face-to-face interaction and adherence to a strategy of recommending quality
investments that have proven themselves over time. So does Investment Representative David
Amman, who manages their Redwood City office. He understands that this approach might be considered
unfashionable. But if it means helping his clients achieve their goals, whether for retirement,
education or just financial security, it’s an approach he plans to stick to.
First National Bank – 700 El Camino Real – In the ever-merging world of the banking industry
it’s hard to find places where the consumer or small business owner’s voice still matters.
Independent banks and small local banking chains, which take the time to listen, are slowly becoming
things of the past. Luckily, this is not the case at First National Bank of Northern California,
according to Brian Palter, branch manager of the Redwood City location. “When we have a new
client and do right by them,” said Palter, “they tell others.” Doing right by a client, whether old or
new, requires taking extra steps in situations which nationwide chains might not do. Give Palter a
call and see what he means.
Personal Improvement:
Redwood Massage & Sauna – 797 Arguello St. – First opened in 1964 by two Finnish women,
this professional facility is now under the management of Beverly and Harold May. Ms. May is a
full-time massage therapist with almost thirty years of experience. They pride themselves on having
exceptionally talented massage therapists to care for you, trained in a variety of specialized
techniques to improve your circulation, mental clarity and creativity as well as optimize your overall
physical health. Your experience at Redwood Massage & Sauna will enhance your health and
well-being naturally in the true Finnish tradition of therapeutic massage and sauna amid clean,
comfortable and serene surroundings.
Re:Juvenate Skin Care – 805 Veterans Blvd., Suite 140 – Treat yourself, you deserve it!
Re:Juvenate is owned and operated by Sherna Madan, M.D., and Linda S. Moore, R.N. Together
they have more than 50 years in the healthcare industry and over 10 years in the field of aesthetics.
Both have lived and worked in the community for the majority of those years. When a consumer
is looking for a facility that offers a list of services that are so personal, name recognition
and reputation are of the utmost importance. Relationships are formed quickly, and trust is a huge
part of the equation. Whether you are seeing a Re:Juvenate clinician for acne, sun damage, skin
tightening, wrinkle reduction or laser hair removal, the process starts with a complimentary consultation
with a member of the aesthetic staff. Call (650) 261-0500 and mention The Spectrum
Magazine.
Warren Street Chiropractic – 520 Warren St. – Warren Street Chiropractic Wellness and Injury
Center was formerly Lease Chiropractic Offices, owned and operated by Timothy H. Lease, D.C.
Dr. Lease is beginning his 22nd year of practice and has a very broad patient base, from infants to
folks in their 90s. Cases include work injury (workers’ compensation), personal injury (car accidents,
slips and falls, bicycle and pedestrian accidents), carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis,
headaches, neck pain, back pain, and leg and arm pain. He has a working network of other doctors
and therapists, so he is able to refer for second opinions or other therapy if appropriate. The
office has six spacious exam rooms, including a massage room.
Retail:
Mayers Jewelers – 2303 Broadway – Redwood City’s oldest family-owned jewelers still sparkle like
they did the first day they opened in 1969. They have a large selection of necklaces, rings and
