Visitors rave about the artisan gifts, especially animation cels, and the jovial, caring customer service. However, some patrons have experienced significant wait times due to inconsistent operating hours.
"Imagine yourself walking back through time into a bank vault from the 1800s imagine an ambiance around you instead of money or gold it's valuable trinkets sculptures artifacts from other realms high society comes here to trade their wares and scribble their thoughts on the walls of the main bank vault which is coated in chalkboard so you can scribe your thoughts or your symbols from your clan upon the walls there's also a piano that they encourage you to play even if you don't even know how to play the piano there are mugs that they encourage you to lift up with your hands a mighty decanter because the proprietors of this fine art gallery shop want you to feel comfortable with a stein that fits your massive paws meandering around if you look to the upper mezzanine you will see a quite respectable pool table that area however is off limits unless you successfully battle the Dragon gargoyle protecting the staircase Joey was quite jovial lad he took our pictures and made us smile telling us of his grand adventures for settling down becoming the proprietor of this wondrous mystical establishment"

"We waited 2 hours for the person running the store to come back. Then the worker decided that arguing with me that he was there was the stance he should take, despite the inside door being locked and all the lights being out for over 2 hours."
