A notorious restaurant on the Greek island of Mykonos is ripping off Brits again, as customers complain of being charged £250 for sea bass and £50 for drinks.
Holidaymakers have been warned to stay away from DK Oyster, which has received a string of bad reviews on Tripadvisor.
Angry punters say they were lured into buying a drink after being told that the sunbeds are free, but the prices for those drinks were described as ‘insane’ and ‘exorbitant’.
The latest tourists to fall foul include Kimberley W, who had to shell out for four drinks at £47 each.
Kevin E branded DK Oyster ‘bait and switch thieves’, who initially told him he could get a drink and chair for £29 but then charged him £72.

Eleanor W said she and her partner were double-charged after they were told their card payment did not work.
Meanwhile, Elise B said her mistake was ordering food, which is charged ‘by the ounce’, leaving them with a bill of £253 for sea bass and £100 for a jumbo shrimp, that ‘wasn’t cooked properly’.
Even then they were overcharged, she said, with £789 leaving her account, which did not match the receipt.
The restaurant, which has an average star rating of two, has received just one star in all of its last 34 reviews, dating back to October last year.
Daniel D wrote on Tripadvisor on June 12: ‘Overcharged and very rude people. Don’t go there, they will not give the menu until you ready to pay you will see prices are insane.’
Eleanor W also warned readers on June 12: ‘They will tell you the beach beds are free but then say you need to purchase a drink.
‘Once seated they show you a menu where the drink prices are so exorbitant, it makes up for not paying for a beach bed x 10.

‘They also said my card payment didn’t work so we used by partners card, to check the bank account and we have two transactions of the same amount come out at once. W***ers.’
Elise B wrote on June 11: ‘TRAVELER BEWARE!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE’
‘We were told it was free for chairs if you buy 2 drinks. We got two drinks and were cool, understanding that was going to be an up charge.’
However, it was when they ordered food that they were outraged, she said.
Elise added: ‘We were shown a menu but did not see that they charge for food BY THE OUNCE! We were charged €300 (£253) for sea bass and €119 (£100) for a jumbo shrimp that wasn’t cooked properly!
‘They not only didn’t explain that, but we definitely did not need A WHOLE FISH! And had we known, would have never accepted that!
‘But we too were overcharged on our card for $1000 (£789), which does not match what our receipt says!! We didn’t see the charge until after we left, but we’ll be disputing that with our bank!’

DK Oyster bar has caught tourists unaware – with negative reviews and previous complaints
‘This place is a ripoff and should be avoided by all means. They overcharge for everything!
‘We didn’t read reviews and were charged for 4 drinks at $60 (£47) each. How this place is still in business is beyond me.’
Kevin E branded DK Oyster ‘bait and switch thieves’ and told travelers to ‘be forewarned’.
He wrote on May 31: ‘Well… we messed up and didn’t read these reviews before going here and got ripped off as did many around us.
‘They do the bait and switch and have reviews blocked on Google earth. They say you get a chair for just one drink… however they refuse to tell you the cost.
‘It’s €30 (£25) for a small, €40 (£34) for medium and €50 (£42) for large. He offered us a med drink and chair for €35 (£29) each however they charged €85 (£72).
‘I’ll now try and fight it out of principle with Mastercard. Do not go here. Warn others.’
On its website, DK Oyster is described as the ‘destination of luxury and style’ in ‘one of the world’s top destinations’.
