Auto Care:
Redwood General Tire – 1630 Broadway – 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. 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. Maybe you should
try their services.
Eating and Catering:
Bluefin Sushi & Teriyaki Grill – 2327 Broadway – Wow! This place is popular.
Whether you dine in or take out, everyone is discovering that their sashimi, nigiri sushi,
donburi and bento dishes are irresistible! No MSG and no chemical additives. Low in
cholesterol. Low in calories. Low in sodium. Their sushi is made fresh daily by experienced
sushi chefs, which has made this restaurant a favorite Downtown eating spot. It’s
a must try!
Canyon Inn – 587 Canyon Rd. – You will find everything at this Redwood City
favorite. The Canyon Inn is nestled in the small, quiet neighborhood of the Emerald
Hills region bordering Woodside and Redwood City. 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.

Diving Pelican Café – 650 Bair Island Rd., 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. He participates in the City Trees program, helping to plant and
maintain greenery around the area, and works with other local organizations such as
the Peninsula Sunrise Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce, and Rebuild Together. He
participates in the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury. 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 festive gathering? Call Dave at (650) 365-3731.
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. All bottles are priced $39 or
less. They have live jazz once a week and have free wireless, high-speed Internet service.
They also provide great food complements to wine: artisan cheeses, quiches, fresh

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. Palter is the 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
Brian 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.
