I can understand why the restaurant is freaking out, but it should be noted Giannis didn’t make a big deal about it at all.
BelAir Cantina, a chain of six Mexican restaurants in the Milwaukee area, said in a statement on its Twitter and Facebook pages that it was sorry it wasn’t able to seat the “Greek Freak” right away when he stopped into one of its restaurants after Sunday’s victory over the Celtics, resulting in his exit.
“We are very sorry we weren’t able to seat Giannis Antetokounmpo in as timely manner as we would have hoped,” the statement said. “The Milwaukee Bucks’ big win, thanks to his tip in and the team’s great play, combined with today’s spring weather had people turn out in droves to celebrate and we had quite a wait. We were honored he came in for a celebratory meal, and wish we would have accommodated him right away.
As usual, this got attention because someone at the restaurant snitched.
At @BelAirCantina on water street and just watched @Giannis_An34 wait for a table for 10 minutes and no one helped him so he left… Dude just won Milwaukee a playoff game! Get him some service pic.twitter.com/hcjsJfThiA
