BelAir Cantina: Entryway footage shows manager greeting Giannis

BelAir Cantina, the popular taco restaurant in Milwaukee, has released a follow-up statement and screen-grab from its surveillance cameras after Sunday night's controversy involving Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

A fan's tweet noted that Antetokounmpo had been waiting 10 minutes for a table, then left, in the aftermath of his game-winning points to give the Bucks a 104-102 win and tie the team's playoff series with the Boston Celtics at 2-2. The restaurant released an apology Sunday night that also included the offer of a free taco with purchase for all patrons if the Bucks are able to win the next two games in the series and advance to the next round.

“We appreciate everyone’s passion for treating Giannis and all customers with great customer service," Monday's follow-up read. "It is something we strive to do every day. 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.  Our focus is now on supporting our team on this playoff run. Go Bucks."

The release concluded with the hashtag #TacoBoutAMisunderstanding.

BelAir has six locations, including the one at Water and Humboldt streets in Milwaukee, where Giannis and other Bucks have occasionally dined.

The tweet led to a social-media storm late Sunday, in which Bucks fans criticized the restaurant's inability to seat the toast of the town. Sunday's statement also said a table would be waiting for Giannis should he choose to return Thursday, when the Bucks are next scheduled to play. 

The kitchen closes at midnight, so get there quickly, Giannis.
