About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Hot spot
  • Lively
Shore Leave is our interpretation of a tropical escape through the lens of our love for Boston’s rich dining scene.

Named after a sailor’s leisure time on dry land, Shore Leave’s tropical cocktails take you away from the hustle and bustle. This space, music, and our Shore Leave team, make every moment here feel like watching the sun go down with your feet in the sand. Off the main drag, just below the street in Boston’s South End, Shore Leave brings you on an everyday vacation.

Options are available for Regular Dining, Omakase Counter, or Bar/Lounge.
We do not take reservations for "just drinks" in our dining room. Bar and lounge reservations are available for up to 8 guests Sunday-Thursday 5-7pm.

We ID at the door. Underage guests are permitted but not at the bar.

Live entertainment! On Fridays Shore Leave hosts Drag Race watch party at 8pm and The People's Karaoke at 10pm. Entertainment varies so call or check our social media (@shoreleavebos) for details!

Experiences

  • Omakase at Shore Leave

    $85.00 per person

    Multiple dates available
    Join us at the Sushi Counter at Shore Leave for a fast & fun take on a tasting menu! If you are not familiar with Omakase, it translates to "I trust you"; you are trusting the sushi chef to curate your meal of approximately 12 courses. Expect a variety of bites including nigiri, sashimi, and tempura. This experience is quick paced so that you can enjoy the nigiri the moment it is made—as soon as you finish one piece, you’re handed the next by our sushi chef, who is right in front of you at the counter. Come early or stay late to enjoy cocktails and extra bites at Shore Leave’s bar! Your Omakase experience will be $85 per person not including tax or gratuity and will be approximately 12 courses.

    We did the omakase dinner and loved it. The courses were paced well and we didn’t feel at all rushed. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. The service was also excellent- our sever Hailey was very friendly and we just really enjoyed the entire experience. The space is really cool and fun. We are excited to go back and try the regular menu items too!

We are also glad to hear you enjoyed Haley's service, she is a great representation of what we do here. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for more delicious meals and a fun vibe.

    Best sushi I've had in the area. Love the detail they give to each piece for the omakase experience. Cost was a bit pricey but worth every bite.

    Food was good but the drinks were over the top strong. Definitely not a good Polynesian drink. Just more of a punch you in the face straight alcohol.

    Expensive but delicious. We got tons of plates to share for a group of five and also got flaming shots for the birthday girl. Awesome ambience and lighting too
