Shore Leave

Amazing Omakase experience! Everything was delicious and we had such a good time!

their drinks and sushi are great

Feb. 2024: Haley delivered exceptional service last week. Her upbeat personality is infectious and added a delightful touch to the excellent service she provided. She consistently checked on our table, surpassing all expectations. Thank you, Haley! Oct. 2023: Samantha R. served us recently and delivered exceptional service! She was friendly, offered valuable recommendations & consistently checked on our table, meeting all expectations! However, my 1st experience in Oct. '22 was far from pleasant. The 2 bartenders were discourteous and inattentive. We had to actively signal them over to our side of the bar (we were sitting @ the small square bar too). Maybe reserving a table is to answer, instead of sitting at the bar... Either way, Samantha R. changed my opinion and I will be returning.

My experience at Shore Leave was stellar. Choosing the Omakase option at Shore Leave was a spectacular choice, as for the price, it is a fantastic option for those who are willing to explore into different tastes and experiences. Vincent, the chef behind the Omakase counter, was diligent and experienced, offering insights on each of the dishes on the Omakase menu. I’d highly recommend being under his care, as he was patient with my questioning and left me excited to return once more should I choose Omakase. Chaz was a wonderful server who took care of me wonderfully; with their assistance, I tried a sake I would not have normally tried as per her recommendation. Had I chosen myself, I would have never made an attempt at it— but I did with Chaz’ recommendation and I greatly enjoyed it! If you are willing to spend a bit more, you will be pleased beyond measure. Go to the Omakase counter and you won’t regret it! The only reason I lack pictures is because I simply enjoyed it too much to put my phone down!

Shore Leave in Boston is a vibrant restaurant offering Asian-inspired dishes and an array of tiki cocktails, all served in a fun and lively atmosphere. The friendly and attentive staff add to the welcoming environment, though the cozy size of the restaurant means you might find yourself in close quarters with other diners. However, the inclusive vibe, particularly their support for the LGBTQ+ community, creates a warm and inviting ambiance which is great. We started with the Dan Dan Noodles, which though not quite traditional, offered a peanut-infused twist. Might have called this dish Peanut Noodles or something though. The Tuna Tartare was not bad, but it was the Okonomiyaki Tater Tots that was incredible! The Karaage Chicken Sandwich was delicious and shareable if you ask! For dinner I opted for the Shore Leave Roll, a combination of shrimp tempura, hamachi, pickled pineapple, serrano, cilantro, and aji amarillo. While the sushi was good quality, it is slightly on the higher end at $20 a roll. The Eggplant Dragon Roll was very creative and tasty. Only thing is we would have liked more sushi options to choose from for the menu. As for the cocktails, they're as colorful as they are creative, with themed options changing with the seasons and holidays. We enjoyed the experience and look forward to returning to sample more of what Shore Leave has to offer! Thanks for a wonderful evening!

Awesome Tiki bar in Boston. Great staff and drinks. Can't wait to go back.

The service is not gentle. A little rude.

The service is what really shines here. Along with excellent creative cocktails
