After 29 years of business in Palo Alto, Mike’s Diner Bar faces eviction – all because its owner, Mike Wallau, paid rent a day late following a family medical emergency.
After 29 years of business in Palo Alto, Mike’s Diner Bar faces eviction, because owner Mike Wallau paid rent a day late following a family medical emergency.
Wallau is working with his lawyers to request a halt to the eviction proceedings. In the meantime, the Midtown neighborhood and the city of Palo Alto are looking for ways to rally their support for the longtime eatery and for Wallau. If the eviction proceeds, Mike’s Diner Bar will be the latest in a run of business closures that have faced the neighborhood, which has lost 15 businesses in five years and has still not recovered from the pandemic’s economic effects.
About five years ago, Wallau took on a project to renovate the restaurant, expanding into the former Peninsula Hardware store. All told, he spent about $2 million and more than two years on the project. He reopened about eight months before the pandemic lockdowns began, and during the pandemic, his restaurant remained closed for 17 months.
Property manager Eugenia Seraia and owner Scher Holdings LLC have not yet responded to requests for comment. Mike’s Diner Bar is the “crown jewel” of Palo Alto’s Midtown neighborhood, which has fallen on hard times recently, said Len Filppu, head of the Fairmeadow Neighborhood Association.
