Atlanta Hawks legend Dominique Wilkins tweeted out on Saturday that he was denied service to Le Bilboquet Atlanta -- part of a chain of French bistros -- due to his race, but the restaurant said that Wilkins’ outfit didn’t comply with its dress code. Wilkins said it was the first time that he received this kind of treatment from a restaurant. Le Bilboquet responded to Wilkins’ claim with a statement saying that its dress code required a minimum of business casual attire. However, we have received consistent complaints from our patrons regarding other guest’s wardrobe choices," the restaurant said in a statement. A nine-time All-Star and two-time dunk contest champion, Wilkins is the third player to have his number retired by the Hawks.
