Together they run the tightest diner in the area. When I first visited Mike's Cafe during its opening month, the place lingered in that awkward but charming developmental state much like a teenager, all legs and elbows charged with energy and talent. Much has changed since, all of it good and well-considered. The ambiance received a face lift and now settles into the bistro-diner niche. As for the menu, a calibrated infusion of daily specials tuned up the repertoire beautifully.
Service is seamless.
Friendly but not fawning. Timed but not hurried. Knowledgeable but not opinionated. Thumbs up for Wallau and his staff. And thumbs up for Oliver and his crew in recognition of the affordable yet well-designed sandwiches and fabulous entrees.
