As a rapidly growing, progressive city in San Mateo County, Redwood City boasts a vivacious and varying restaurant scene where even the pickiest eaters can find their ideal dish. Redwood City occupies a large stretch of the San Francisco Bay coastline, so, in addition to restaurants offering both traditional and worldly cuisine, residents and visitors enjoy a constant supply of fresh ocean fare. John Bentley's is popular for the upscale setting and new-American preparations of fresh seafood, while the Old Port Lobster Shack is a warm, low-key haven offering time-honored takes on the flavors of the sea. For lovers of fusion cuisine, the Red Lantern blends various Southeast Asian cuisines to create exotic, mouthwatering dishes.
