The Turks restaurant will be drinks-only until June, when it begins full-service.

“They’re interested enough they said that when and if we get awarded (the project), they’d love to sit down and talk to us,” Vicini said. “But again, nobody has made any commitments. We’ve just talked to them, and they’ve shown some interest.”
