BelAir Cantina, a Mexican restaurant with six locations in the Milwaukee area, issued an apology on its social media accounts after failing to accommodate Giannis Antetokounmpo following the Bucks' Game 4 win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday, in which the All-Star scored the winning points in the final seconds.

Another patron posted a photo of the "Greek Freak" waiting for a table, noting that Antetokounmpo exited after 10 minutes, but that he "didn't complain" and "just quietly left."

Antetokounmpo's girlfriend, Mariah Danae, later responded to the restaurant with a message that indicated there were no hard feelings and featured a smiling Giannis.

The 23-year-old forward eventually got his hands on some grub roughly a half-mile away from BelAir Cantina at DiModa Pizza.
