Yelper Justin P., who reviewed Shilling Canning on July 11, wrote, "They recommend five to six small plates. We ended up getting six. I think six would've been more than enough but it depends on which ones you get, as they are of varying size. "

Le Système D. noted, "Came in for dinner and the place was packed. Had the blue crab app, fluke crudo, deviled eggs, duck confit, soft shell crab, Surryano ham and grilled sausage. Everything was excellent and looking forward to coming back."

The eatery is open from 5 a.m.–10 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and 5 a.m.–11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. (It's closed on Monday.)

Rice Bar's current Yelp rating of 4.5 stars out of five reviews indicates positive attention from users.

Yelper Angelle S., who reviewed Rice Bar on July 12, wrote, "Three core things to know: The food is delicious, the space is very inviting/cool and the staff (who I think was the owner or manager) was incredibly nice."

Caroline C. noted, "Food was tasty and still very fresh, even though we came in at the end of the night. The guy making my bowl (who I think may have been the owner) definitely did not skimp on the add-ins."
