I
have
already
posted
on
Yelp
but
my
experience
last
night
was
so
terrible
that
it
is
still
bothering
me.
Let
me
add
that
I
have
eaten
at
the
Cross
Bar
a
number
of
times
before
and
the
food
and
service
was
always
mediocre.
So
I
went
with
no
high
expectations
of
the
place,
but
Cross
Bar
still
failed
miserably.
My
fiancé
and
I
met
friends
at
Cross
Bar
last
night
to
watch
the
Phillies
game.
After
being
seated
we
waited
a
good
15/20
minutes
without
a
single
server
approaching
us.
I
had
to
get
up
and
find
a
staff
member
to
ask
them
to
please
send
someone
over.
Finally
after
another
10
minutes
a
server
arrived.
We
put
our
food
and
drink
orders
in.
When
the
food
arrived
it
was
frankly
terrible.
I
had
ordered
fish
and
chips.
First
the
French
fries
were
beyond
salty.
That
was
the
consensus
of
people
in
my
party.
Two
entire
side
orders
of
French
fries
were
left
untouched
after
just
a
few
fries.
My
fish
and
chips
was
presented
in
a
terrible
fashion.
First
half
the
plate
(no
exaggeration)
was
swimming
in
tartar
sauce.
Having
worked
in
restaurants
it
struck
me
as
a
method
of
taking
up
space
on
the
plate
to
reduce
the
volume
of
food
being
served.
The
fish
itself
was
a
dry,
thing
thing
that
was
as
much
batter
as
fish.
Additionally
parts
of
it
was
burnt.
I
also
had
no
silverware,
no
napkins
and
had
to
ask
for
a
second
plate
to
save
what
I
could
of
the
dish
that
wasn’t
swimming
in
tartar
sauce.
The
entire
meal
was
a
disaster,
a
hot
mess,
a
train
wreck.
Servers
could
see
that
I
was
not
happy
with
the
meal
and
gave
not
a
damn.
After
our
lovely
experience
we
left.
We
had
intended
to
watch
the
Phillies
game,
and
spend
a
good
bit
of
money.
Instead
we
went
over
to
the
Manoa
Tavern
and
gave
them
our
business.
My
experiences
at
the
Manoa
are
ALWAYS
a
full
180
degrees
different.
The
food
is
typically
good
and
the
staff
are
as
well.
Eat
there
or
anywhere
else
instead
of
Cross
Bar.
I
would
add
that
I
never
write
reviews
but
this
experience
was
so
terrible
that
I
felt
compelled
to
write
this
review.
We
won’t
be
returning.
I
had
not
experienced
service
this
poor
in
decades.
