Facon Brazilian Steakhouse opened in Vintage Park several weeks ago, but the new restaurant will hold its grand opening celebration on Wednesday, May 28, from 6 p.m. until midnight. Tickets to the event cost $50 and include a three-course prix fixe meal consisting of multiple Brazilian meats, a tapas appetizer and a dessert. Unfortunately the ticket price does not include drinks, so you'll have to purchase those on your own. Purchase tickets to the event, then make your reservations during the grand opening -- you will be prompted to provide the ticket numbers for each member in your party.
