FIVE81°NE

"We had sat at the bar for our reservation. The atmosphere was quaint. We ordered our drinks and tried to order a few apps but they were out of ingredients (we had reservations at 5:30 on a Saturday night) so I’m unsure as to how they were already out of ingredients. Instead of the appetizer selection we wanted, they told us to order other menu items - which were nothing like what we wanted to order. Even though sitting in front of the bartender, he never once asked us if we wanted to put food in or asked us if we wanted another drink. We waited another 15 minutes and decided that we should go somewhere else with the lack of service at this spot. It was not busy - there should have been no reason the lack of service occurred. The bartender had been displeased all night with other staff shown by his attitude, lack of communication, and multiple huffs and puffs when other staff members would approach or become involved with an order. He had huffed and puffed and was not pleased when we had asked another server for our tab - as our server (the bartender) had not been bothered to check on us once. We will absolutely not be back and will not be recommending this spot to anyone we know in the Seacoast area. We were extremely disappointed with the service, food, and drinks. The pork was chewy with pieces of cartilage/tendon and the lack of ingredients at this time of day was unacceptable. Do not recommend."

"Fantastic food and drink! Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again. I feel like we tried everything on the menu but there so much else to try. Don’t skip dessert. Thank you guys!!"

"Had a wonderful experience here. Food was very authentic and delicious. Isaan cuisine is my favorite and they’re absolutely nailed it. The design of the dining room was elegant. Great service and nice atmosphere."

"Delicious Thai food and luxe cocktails served in a unique space. Get in before word gets out. I'm a huge fan of Thai flavors and a regular at sister restaurant The Green Elephant. This is even better. Gluten free folks will feel right at home, half the menu is naturally gf. Vegetarian options were sparse but several dishes could be modified (for instance, leaving off the pork rinds). There is no sign on the Five81 building, and you can't easily see the dining room from the road."

"No surprise that the people who brought us Green Elephant have launched another delicious venture. Beautiful decor, great cocktails, delicious, interesting food. Not a single glitch despite it being open only for a few days! You won't find a vast menu typical of your favorite local Thai place but a smaller, more honed variety of quality, well-prepared dishes. Our server was attentive and subtle even as we probably talked for too long after the check. Love that they accept ApplePay. If I have any critique it's that their name could be more memorable/Google-friendly. We'll be back!"
