The pair purchased the semi-private country club April 1 and started renovation efforts the next day, Rania Shteiwi said.
Vue 791 will seat about 80 people, not including outdoor seating. The banquet hall seats as many as 180. Both will be open to the public.
The menu will feature traditional Mediterranean cuisine such as shawarma, felafel, hummous and babaganoush. It also will feature Italian favorites like pasta, Spanish favorites like empanadas and American classics like New York strip steak and filet mignon.
Hatem Shteiwi, a longtime Trenton resident, brings more than three decades of restaurant experience to the business. Rania Shteiwi said she previously was an an executive chef and served as an operations director at a hotel management company.
She said the menu was an attempt to be a bit “edgy,” but still stick with the classics.
As many as 40 employees are being hired, including cooks, servers, bartenders and banquet staff. An opening day is yet to be determined.
