Tripadvisor issues warning over Greek restaurant which hit couple with £710 bill
Holidaymakers have been warned against visiting a specific Greek restaurant in a rare move by Tripadvisor.
The reviewing website has added a "safety warning" to its page for Mykonos eatery DK Oyster following a string of complaints.
Just this week the restaurant was again accused of charging very high prices, with customers claiming they didn't know what they were getting into.
The added warning reads: “Tripadvisor has been made aware of recent media reports or events concerning this property which may not be reflected in reviews found on this listing.

Just this week Jessica Yarnall, 31, and Adam Hagaun, 30, claim they were hit with a staggering 800 euro bill (approximately £710) for two drinks, four crab legs and a salad at a notorious Greek restaurant.
The couple said they believed cocktails to be 25 euros each when they ordered, but after enjoying two mojitos, four crab legs and a Greek salad, they were handed a bill for a staggering 800 euros, they claim.
When they challenged the bill, they claim staff produced a 'shot glass' drink that they said was an example of the 25 euro mojito and informed them that their mojitos were different ones, at 100 euros per drink, the couple have said.

Earlier this week DK Oyster bar owner Dimitrios Kalamaras said Jessica's account was inaccurate, but refused to state which part he was referring to.
It's not the first time the bar has attracted attention due to this nature.
Last year a honeymooning couple were left outraged when they were handed a 400 euro bill for a 'quick snack' - after having just one beer, one cocktail and a dozen oysters at the restaurant.
Newlyweds Lindsay Breen and husband Alex, claimed that staff at the restaurant failed to give them a drinks menu with prices on it before shocking them with the astronomical sum.
Recruiter Lindsay says they had just popped in for a mid-afternoon snack and were in disbelief when they realised they were being charged 400 euros for a beer, an Aperol spritz and 12 oysters.

He then went on to order two tequilas, two beers and some shrimp which, when it arrived, only included "six prawns". It left a hole in his wallet though after he was charged a whopping £360.
He alleges that staff became angry when he contested the prices.
Another visitor known as Cheryl Lamphere, 43, was on holiday in Mykonos when she claimed her group of friends were misledinto paying over £1,300 for two dishes, salad and bread at DK Oyster.
Cheryl claims they were briefly showed the menu before a waiter rushed the group in and forced them to order as soon as they sat down.
The group ordered one plate of calamari, one order of lobster pasta, a salad, and bread at the restaurant.
The restaurant did not respond to the Mirror's request for comment.
