The City Council approved a 5-year lease of the Deering Oaks Castle to Deen Haleem and Carol Mitchell, the owners of Tiqa restaurant. Their plan is to operate a year round cafe called Tiqa Cafe serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. They hope to be open in time for the summer.
Tiqa has approval to make modification to the building to put in a small kitchen and also has been granted a beer and wine license for the establishment.
