LAST WORD

We reviewed the entryway footage from last night, and we are proud to reaffirm that Giannis was promptly greeted by our manager and told the wait time. Giannis has been a customer many times and he has graciously accepted our apology for not being able to seat him and other customers more quickly last night.”

Statement by BelAir Cantina, a taco restaurant in Milwaukee, after social media criticism when fans saw that Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had just scored the winning points in a playoff game vs. Boston on Sunday, was not immediately seated. He waited 10 minutes and left, according to a fan tweet. The restaurant apologized and followed up with a reference to video. The original release, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, ended with the hashtag #TacoBoutAMisunderstanding.
