I have to agree that the whole Mitchelli's chain is sliding downhill. It seems to be part of the Seattle curse that when a restaurant opens, it's good for maybe a year before the food and service turns sour. I had lunch at Stella's a couple weeks ago and ordered my favorite (chicken Parmiagana). I hadn't eaten there for about a year. The last time (last December) I was sorry that the prices had gone up a couple bucks, but I still had more than enough to eat and the food was very good). Last week I got half as much food for at least the same amount of money, the noodle were over cooked AND undercooked, like the cook just keeps periodicall adding pasta into the pot, the chicken was overdone and the parmigiana seemed like it was processed (not even Kraft processed, more like Western Family). The service was okay, the place was pretty empty (noonish on Wednesday) but I felt that the waitress was rushing us all out the door. I used to go to Stellas a couple times a week back in the early 90's when I went to school and my roommate worked until 2am. We used to eat and hang out until 4am and I thought the food was great (sure beat the hell out of Denny's) I thought the same about Minnie's before it turned to crap too. Are there any good 24 hour restaurants left in Seattle?
