Whenever you go to a popular tourist destination, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS stay away from restaurants in heavy tourist locations. Or, at the very least, stop and look up reviews of them on your phone before entering. Doing this was absolutely life-saving in Paris. Knowing how to avoid the tourist traps can be the difference between a disappointing trip and an amazing one.
“I went to red lobster” “$60” lobster for $60? That makes my stomach hurt. Your lobster itself should be around that if you don’t go to a high end fast food restaurant.
If you call the police and they will “detain you” then she should be allowed to call out the name of the restaurant on national news. Cause clearly they deserve to be recognized for their due diligence in protecting their “customers” right? They deserve to be recognized for saving them from being arrested right? Take it how you will
It's anti-semitic to not pay the bill at the particular restaurants (Greek island of Mykonos restaurants), even if the bill is high. It's the owner's RIGHT to charge whatever they want!
If I don’t see a price list beforehand, I’m not ordering. I really don’t care if that’s embarrassing… it’s not embarrassing for me at all, better to have more cash for something else than to be ripped off like this!!!
Exactly, these "tourist" countries will lose out due to social media complaints. It's a shame because going on vacation should be a great memory, not something like this smh
Why isn't she naming the restaurant?? I would have called the police and then I would have called Inside Edition right after have them fly over to report on this.
Yep. I mean I don't know specifically about Greek law, but you can charge any amount for anything, unless it's gouging for necessities during a disaster. So, if you don't know the price up front, don't assume you're willing to pay it.
@@katymvt But that contradicts the meaning of a tip. If a tip is mandatory it isnt a tip anymore its an extra charge or fee which is far from custom in greece.
"DK Oysters" is the name of the restaurant. Definitely recommend reading the reviews when you have some free time. Some unnamed individual was considerate enough to mark the place as permanently closed to help deter future customers.
Saw this review: Be warned though, they probably won't be called DK Oyster bar by the time they open next summer as they change their name every couple of years. Previously they've been Yefsi Sports bar and other names. It's the one in front of the Kosmoplast Hotel.
Always ask for food prices even if you think it's embarrassing, no matter how fancy a restaurant is they almost always have prices on the menu or you pay for a table in advance. If a normal restaurant doesn't have prices on the menu it's a scam.
I know no one’s going to believe me, but I actually ate at that restaurant when I was on vacation in 2006. It’s on a very small and private beach. It’s an expensive place, but we fortunately weren’t scammed. I’m of Greek heritage but am 100% American. Maybe they let us off because my dad spoke Greek and we looked Greek. I feel bad for innocent people getting scammed like this.
@@MrsEJV Yes to some extent, but I don’t think they were targeting everyone, otherwise they’d be out of business. That bar is connected to an exclusive resort on the opposite side of the road. I think they saw a woman and her daughter, knew they were foreign and wealthy from their lunch order. They probably knew they could scare the mother into paying.
Not to victim blame, but as a traveller myself, this is exactly why I read reviews before going places. If I’m ever offered a menu without prices, I also either ask the price before ordering or refuse to eat there (it’s amazing how quickly prices go down in some places when you get up to leave). When travelling somewhere outside your home, it’s always a good idea to do as much research as possible to avoid scams like this. Edit: typo
i genuenlly cant imagine a scenario where you look at a menu with no prices and then choose?? like even if u arent a cheap skate like me u still check the price surely
I'm from Greece, as soon as I heard the name "Mykonos" I burst out laughing, chaps don't go there literally every other island is better if you're not looking to be robbed
@@philippequast809 oh shut up, have you ever been to a restaurant serving local food? Only good thing in Mykonos is probably the fish, also any place where rich men throw away their money is a good place for party
I talked to a travel agent in Athens when I visited Greece, he actually said the same thing. Well not exactly the same, what he actually said was that Mykonos is a party destination, if you're looking to blow a lot of money and party then go there, otherwise choose another island. I wish I could remember his name, I would tell everyone to stop by his office to make plans for trips to the islands. He arranged travel, hotels and gave us valuable insights all for a price that was cheaper than if I had done it all myself.
Its immoral practices but not uncommon. Locals will always seek to hustle tourists for services or merchandise. Keep your eyes open . Asking price before finalizing the transactions can also provide a safety blanket for your wallet .
"market price" would be understandable if they're serving 100% USDA Angus beef the serving something they're catching 300 yards off the coast of the restaurant 🙄
“I went to red lobster, an American chain restaurant, and ordered the same thing that Brenda ordered at a high class restaurant on a Greek tourist island that’s known for being a luxurious escape for the rich. The price was $60! How can anyone charge more than that??” 🤣🤣 lmao that was actually hilarious. I mean sure, $650 is waaaay over priced, but comparing red lobsters price to a classy Greek restaurant is like saying Olive Garden is authentic Italian food. Or Taco Bell is authentic Mexican food.
@@Nuts2Big again, it's a luxurious restaurant, some people pay thousands for a single steak, but those people thing a thousand dollars is equivalent to a penny.
They would've just been calling the police then because somebody would have to make that bill make sense 600 for 2 crab legs matter of fact call the Mayor and the Governor while your at it.
The police aren't going to get involved to arrange for a different price to be paid lmao Likely they would show up and arrest the person refusing to pay.
That's why it's called a tourist trap. Get away from those areas and eat where the locals eat. That saved me a great deal of frustration (and money) when I was in Japan.
When I was 15 I went to Europe as a student ambassador. We had to be educated on how to avoid all the scammers and scams, especially in Greece and France (both otherwise incredible countries). One that happened to me was this man ushered us into his pizza place Anne cheerily saying he gave students special pricing and said it would be €20, €4 per person. We were in a group of five and we ALL heard and understand this, and even clarified with him. Suddenly the bill comes out…and he’s charging us €20 per person, per small personal pizza. We mention to him how HE even said “cheap, only €4 per person for 5!”. He called us liars and became belligerent saying Americans were disrespectful. We weren’t giving in. We said we would call our chaperones and immediately he went “fine just give €35!”, we again said no, that he offered them at €4 per small personal pizza. We paid €20. Be aware of local prices and don’t let people scam you. Europe is unfortunately filled with scammers everywhere you go.
I live in Greece and that price tag is CRAZY...wow...shame on that restaurant owner...Don't be afraid to go to the Greek Police...They will help you and you don't need to feel intimidated.
I hope the Greek police actually investigates their restaurant… After reading all the reviews I feel so bad for the people that get scammed there, and apparently that restaurant changes their name every few years they or so. HOW HAVE THEY NOT BEEN CAUGHT/TAKEN DOWN YET??
I had the same thing happen in Italy, in a small restaurant, not far from the Spanish Steps. We ordered one pizza and one plate of spaghetti without meatballs, they told me it was about 42 euros and then when they process the charge of my credit card I got the alert that I was charged almost 500 USD. Of course I confronted the restaurant and received a refund, but imagine if I didn't get the alert. Unbelievable! And I'm sorry to say but this happened to me several times throughout Italy, restaurants overcharging for mediocre food.
Yes I ain't goin over seas with all their scams haha and they're scared to come to the USA cuz they're afraid they're going to get shot haha maybe 4% likely of that happening now getting scammed over there guaranteed 100%
My uncle had this same experience in a different country. In his case he is a 6'3 mma fighter but was still pressured into paying over $500 for a single drink. He told the guy off and walked out, cops were sitting right outside (most likely in on it). The cops asked him when confronted "did you ask how much the drink was?". He ended up having to pay unfortunately.
its called DK Oyster and its full of reviews like this: " Don’t ever try this place. Biggest scam ever. Waiter refused to show us the menu upfront but after we ordered what we explicitly said said must be the lowest priced options, we still end up with a €700 bill. Best part is that we ordered cheese and wine. The cheese was €285 alone"
Yep, they did the same thing to a group of US servicemen about 4 yrs ago, and that went viral. Personally, I think the restaurant is a front for money laundering and other criminal enterprises.
Also one can look at review sites like tripadvisor and yelp like the Inside Edition team did. I rarely go to a new restaurant these days without at least checking the reviews and info on google first. Heck I work at a restaurant and I'm astounded by the amount of people (of all ages not just older people) who don't use this tool before wandering into the restaurant or calling. They even ask me things like "do you know another restaurant that does/serves (this thing I'm looking for)?" "Do you know the number/address to (other place)?" as if one person would have the same level of knowledge of local businesses that Google or even the phone book/city directory has
DK Oyster is the name of the restaurant if anyone's wondering. Trip advisor actually stopped any new reviews from being posted on their site (no doubt because this video blew up) and people were just trying to call them out/spread the word. But still though, if you give em a quick Google search, you can see the previous negative reviews from people who actually dined at the restaurant. Also they have a two star rating, which cracks me the hell up. I'm sorry, but jerks like that deserve to go out of business.
I would summon Judge Dredd from hell if need be to stop this tomfoolery. Being in a foreign land definitely gives them the residents the edge over casual tourists, that’s why I always recommend having a local friend, hope they settle things.
As a greek who only travels at my own country those last 5 years, yes the food is freaking high on price on islands. I had visited this specific island too but not to that restaurant . IF YOU VISIT MY COUNTRY BE CAREFUL, IN PLACES LIKE ISLANDS WHERE A LOT OF TOURISTS GO , EVERYTHING IS MORE EXPENSIVE
This is what you get if you go to Mykonos. As a Greek, I would advise anyone to go on much better, more beautiful and underrated islands that have authentic tavernas, at very decent prices.
Also Mykonos is a gay island, Santorini is more famous and not gay. My father was ambassador to Greece for 4 years and we never been to Mykonos on our holidays.
@@TheHungryPigeon I'm not Greek, American actually, but I had a great time on Santorini. It's beautiful, great restaurants at reasonable prices, there's actually a lot of interesting historical sites to visit, and you can rent quads to travel around the island. 1 quad was €35 for 24 hours. It was an amazing experience from start to finish!
Sadly this practice has happened for decades and always to tourists in all countries. Never buy or eat anywhere with no prices, they will look and judge you to see how much to charge
Facts. This is common knowledge in UK since its easier for us to visit these southern European countries. The main tip is avoid any place which doesn't advertise prices. And ask before you order.
No customer on this planet should ever order food from a restaurant that does not advertise the specific prices for meals…. The fact that the report said , she was ‘surprised’ to see the bill amount , throws me for a loop lol
Oh I certainly realize they’re scammers lol, I’m just saying… mayyyybe the customer had this coming to her.. like, it’s as if you’d write a blank check and give it to someone to fill in the rest lol 😂
Tourists visiting and enjoying your beautiful country and bringing economic flow to your hometown while appreciating the beautiful scenes that you take for granted every day, only to be a POS and rip them off for some regular seafood is so, so, so damaging to not only your restaurant, but also your town's reputation, and that's not even factoring in how trashy that behavior is to begin with.
@@EdgyDabs47 they can just NOT scam? lol it doesn’t make it better just bc others do it too🙄 also this is like crazyyy taxing not just some little upcharge
I’m confused with this story. Did they tell her the price of the menu before she ordered. Or did they just change the price up on them after the order their items
Tourist menu's won't have prices or if they do, they'll be dble the local or like the other commenter says "market prices". Tourist menu's will differ from local menus too. They also won't want you to read a menu and just order whatever the waiter encourages you to buy. Like if you ask for a menu, the waiter will ask what you feel like eating and the chef can make something just for you or anything to get you to not read a menu. Lol. Easy tip - if a restaurant in Europe does not display a menu with prices at the venue entrance and you don't speak the local language, they're gonna scam ya. move to the next restaurant. ;-)
In another interview they were offered chairs on the beach/near the beach for free and then staff kept bugging them to order something so they looked at the menu ordered small things and when they got their they got their check it was just a receipt that said they owed $600 or whatever they were charged. Then they ask for an itemized receipt. Questioned the amount And then they were threatened.
This happened to me in Rome , Italy. Now I don’t go to restaurants in foreign countries. I feel the same way she does “I never should have gone to that restaurant!”
That's ashame. Unfortunately that happens a lot when you go to a country that's having financial problems. Desperate people do desperate things. I had someone try that on me in Mexico. I told them to charge me a reasonable amount or I'm walking out that door and good luck trying to stop me. They brought in some buff dude to try to intimidate me and I simply told him even if I go down you won't come out unscathed. They finally agreed to charge me $20 (still too much) and I left.
Yes Mykonos has financial problems it's not like everyone that lives in that Island is insanely rich. First educate yourself before speaking, this island is like the Monte Carlo of Greece.
Always ask for a menu with prices. My brother got screwed over in Italy by a pizza place that didn’t give upfront prices and got hit with $80 bill for a crappy pizza. Try to eat where the locals go.
That’s an outright scam. She needed to photograph her itemized bill, then photograph the menu with the prices listed. Then she at least has proof to use for legal restitution.
@@sonnycusa It's a scam, all reviews say that. The restaurant doesn't give menus and if the customers ask about the prices they tell them that the bill is going to be cheap.
Why so expensive for crab legs?! damn! I had a lobster once for only 8 dollars. And it was a whole lobster! It tasted good. But my goodness! It should never be so much for just Two legs
Please don't be so naive as to think that's what the crab legs actually cost. That's not what they cost that's what they charge these girls as they robbed them. They were grifted and robbed. Commonplace for naive tourists.
In the US we take for granted that laws in other countries will be similar to our laws. But when abroad, don’t assume you will have the same rights or privileges. Likewise, foreign visitors to the US will find themselves subject to a different set of laws here.
People get scammed like this in the US every day too. I'm English and visited New York a few years ago and being a tourist, i was constantly given a high price for things that i knew was a scam. Tried charging me $30 for a $4 Bagel just because of my British accent.
@@rozchristopherson648 i cant do an american accent no matter how hard i try. If you find accents so easy then just use a greek accent in greece and you wont get scammed.
@@lolajenkins2674 LOL. I took 2 years of Biblical Greek in seminary. Maybe that'll help me if I ever travel to Greece. Nevertheless, I do think with practice, you could master our American accent. I studied in Wales for a semester abroad and travelled throughout England also. I think I could mange to fool a few Brits with my attempts at a British accent. Btw, in addition to my legal career, I teach English as a second language. If you want free American accent lessons, I can oblige.😊
With a million views already on this video I would say the restaurant stands to lose way more than it has stolen from good intending tourists! Being dishonest will always end poorly!
The owner belongs in prison. The government should abolish the restaurant. Arrest the cocky employee, & fine him for being rude. It's not the customers fault, although I do check the price myself. They're not stupid, they're good people. We need laws to protect us. Otherwise, we'll never let our hair down. Always alert... Nervous about a scam. They were tough against two women. They wouldn't try that with a bodybuilder 💪🏻 Disgusting Place...
This happened to me in Columbia and myself and my friend were charged $200 each for a cheeseburger. We looked at each other and started bursting out laughing. Waiter even asked if we wanted to leave a tip at the end.
I had a private chauffeur when I went to Greece and he would steer us away from places that try to rip off tourist and negotiate for us with vendors. He was also a historian so he made the trip, me being a history buff myself, much more enjoyable.
Few year ago, I went on a date on Ocean Drive in South Beach Miami. When we got the menu I noticed that prices weren't listed. I told my date that as a principle, I always ask for prices when they aren't listed, due to a very bad and costly previous experience, she replied "as everybody should". I asked for the price of a cocktail that sounded and looked like it was out of this world, $60+ the waiter said... before I could even offer my date to leave she whispered "Let's go, I know a better place...". The rest is history! The fear of embarrassment often get people in unnecessary situation or trouble.
*Avoid restaurants that don't post their prices alongside menu. It's a psychological game play. They rely on your fear factor to avoid being shamed by dumping bills on you after you have already consumed an item.*
One time an old coworker of mine who was in his 60s when he told me the story at the time he was 30s told me he took his wife to Greece because they had family out there. He was charged five US dollars for two subs loaded with stuff, he thought it was reasonable because that’s about the same price in America. When he told his father-in-law how much he paid his father-in-law was furious and took him back to the same vendor and got back three of those dollars. But this story tops that by far 💯
Lol using Red Lobster to compare... "Balenciaga tried to charge me 800 dollars for some white sneakers.. When I went to Walmart for white sneakers.. Only 20 dollars"

Why isn't she naming the restaurant?? I would have called the police and then I would have called Inside Edition right after have them fly over to report on this.
The place is called DK Oyster. It’s on Trip Advisor with terrible reviews.
sure then you’ll pay the bill and be on your way
Did you not listen to the story she said the cops were corrupt
Come on !! have Inside Edition fly over- like that's going to happen
Lmao 😂😂 this comment hilarious
Tip: If the restaurant doesn't show prices on the menu early, leave it and find somewhere else unless the staffs willingly to tell you.
True, menu's should definitely show prices,
Yep. I mean I don't know specifically about Greek law, but you can charge any amount for anything, unless it's gouging for necessities during a disaster. So, if you don't know the price up front, don't assume you're willing to pay it.
Speaking of tip why did she leave a €78 tip if she knew she was being ripped off?
@@Cobra85291 I think they included it on the bill.
@@katymvt But that contradicts the meaning of a tip. If a tip is mandatory it isnt a tip anymore its an extra charge or fee which is far from custom in greece.
"DK Oysters" is the name of the restaurant. Definitely recommend reading the reviews when you have some free time. Some unnamed individual was considerate enough to mark the place as permanently closed to help deter future customers.
Saw this review:
Be warned though, they probably won't be called DK Oyster bar by the time they open next summer as they change their name every couple of years. Previously they've been Yefsi Sports bar and other names. It's the one in front of the Kosmoplast Hotel.

Always check the prices before ordering. I always do!
Always ask for food prices even if you think it's embarrassing, no matter how fancy a restaurant is they almost always have prices on the menu or you pay for a table in advance. If a normal restaurant doesn't have prices on the menu it's a scam.
Sounds like me 💀, not in restaurant, but every store or market
Fancy restaurants don’t put prices. They just put MP. You would have to ask server.
Actually many fancy restaurants don't have prices
Why would you be embarrassed to ask for prices? I'll ask for the price of a water bottle if I have to..
Some of these places aren't that fancy and they will over charge still.
The name of the restaurant is DK Oysters. Everyone please avoid this establishment and be careful of tourist traps. Happy travels! 😊
Just went to look at the google reviews... it's worst than I thought!
Thanks! 🙂
They will probably just change their restaurant name, once too many people online know of their scams.
I know no one’s going to believe me, but I actually ate at that restaurant when I was on vacation in 2006. It’s on a very small and private beach. It’s an expensive place, but we fortunately weren’t scammed. I’m of Greek heritage but am 100% American. Maybe they let us off because my dad spoke Greek and we looked Greek. I feel bad for innocent people getting scammed like this.
I'll stick to Astoria Queens NY where I can eat Greek anytime without getting ripped off
@@sebastianponce9658 Georgia Diner is awesome
I believe you for whatever that’s worth - and I’m sure being Greek saved you.
@@MrsEJV Yes to some extent, but I don’t think they were targeting everyone, otherwise they’d be out of business. That bar is connected to an exclusive resort on the opposite side of the road. I think they saw a woman and her daughter, knew they were foreign and wealthy from their lunch order. They probably knew they could scare the mother into paying.
What was the name of the restaurant? I notice most of these comment threads seem to omit even giving the name.
This is the kind of situation where it is not even about the money, but the principle.
Not to victim blame, but as a traveller myself, this is exactly why I read reviews before going places. If I’m ever offered a menu without prices, I also either ask the price before ordering or refuse to eat there (it’s amazing how quickly prices go down in some places when you get up to leave). When travelling somewhere outside your home, it’s always a good idea to do as much research as possible to avoid scams like this.
Edit: typo
not victim blaming at all! that's just good advice to prevent naive travelers from making the same mistake.
Finally someone mentions about reading reviews ahead of time!! 👍🏼
I read reviews on everything. With today’s prices, money can not be wasted.
i genuenlly cant imagine a scenario where you look at a menu with no prices and then choose?? like even if u arent a cheap skate like me u still check the price surely
Yeah, I don't know why people order food without knowing the prices upfront. That's just asking to be scammed.
Who in their right mind order food without acknowledging how much it’s going to cost?
The kind of ppl who will do something like enter a marriage without a prenup.
Apparently, the price wasn’t listed on the menu
For some high end restraunts they dont put the prices personally I always check reviews before going to a higher end restraunt
Iam guessing the restaurant makes billions every year even during off season
@@squidballs than ask for it

Tourist traps. I’m from Portugal and Albufeira is the same, maybe not as “scammy” as DK Oyster, but expensive for a mediocre experience.
not true, mykonos is expensvie because it has some of the best restaurants and nightlife on the planet. If your broke don't come, simple as that lol
@@philippequast809 oh shut up, have you ever been to a restaurant serving local food? Only good thing in Mykonos is probably the fish, also any place where rich men throw away their money is a good place for party
I talked to a travel agent in Athens when I visited Greece, he actually said the same thing. Well not exactly the same, what he actually said was that Mykonos is a party destination, if you're looking to blow a lot of money and party then go there, otherwise choose another island. I wish I could remember his name, I would tell everyone to stop by his office to make plans for trips to the islands. He arranged travel, hotels and gave us valuable insights all for a price that was cheaper than if I had done it all myself.
I've always go to Crete xD
If it says, "Market Price" it usually expensive but not like that. Should always ask what that price is and definitely read the reviews online first.
Its immoral practices but not uncommon. Locals will always seek to hustle tourists for services or merchandise. Keep your eyes open . Asking price before finalizing the transactions can also provide a safety blanket for your wallet .
"market price" would be understandable if they're serving 100% USDA Angus beef the serving something they're catching 300 yards off the coast of the restaurant 🙄
Yeah dk oyster rates 2.4
“I went to red lobster, an American chain restaurant, and ordered the same thing that Brenda ordered at a high class restaurant on a Greek tourist island that’s known for being a luxurious escape for the rich. The price was $60! How can anyone charge more than that??” 🤣🤣 lmao that was actually hilarious. I mean sure, $650 is waaaay over priced, but comparing red lobsters price to a classy Greek restaurant is like saying Olive Garden is authentic Italian food. Or Taco Bell is authentic Mexican food.
Lol you're definitely right about that but $650 is still outrageous
Olive Garden is authentic but

That's why it's called a tourist trap. Get away from those areas and eat where the locals eat. That saved me a great deal of frustration (and money) when I was in Japan.
So how do u know if that's a tourist trap?

When I was 15 I went to Europe as a student ambassador. We had to be educated on how to avoid all the scammers and scams, especially in Greece and France (both otherwise incredible countries). One that happened to me was this man ushered us into his pizza place Anne cheerily saying he gave students special pricing and said it would be €20, €4 per person. We were in a group of five and we ALL heard and understand this, and even clarified with him. Suddenly the bill comes out…and he’s charging us €20 per person, per small personal pizza. We mention to him how HE even said “cheap, only €4 per person for 5!”. He called us liars and became belligerent saying Americans were disrespectful. We weren’t giving in. We said we would call our chaperones and immediately he went “fine just give €35!”, we again said no, that he offered them at €4 per small personal pizza. We paid €20. Be aware of local prices and don’t let people scam you. Europe is unfortunately filled with scammers everywhere you go.
well done, that's the way to do it. don't give in.

I had the same thing happen in Italy, in a small restaurant, not far from the Spanish Steps. We ordered one pizza and one plate of spaghetti without meatballs, they told me it was about 42 euros and then when they process the charge of my credit card I got the alert that I was charged almost 500 USD. Of course I confronted the restaurant and received a refund, but imagine if I didn't get the alert. Unbelievable! And I'm sorry to say but this happened to me several times throughout Italy, restaurants overcharging for mediocre food.
Yup. In Mexico I realized now many restaurants bring the credit card machine right to the table and show me the amount. Otherwise, I use cash.
Yeah but that’s not what happened here....she never looked at the prices before ordering. And those were indeed the prices. 100% her fault
Here is what you can be sure of: the lady never even once says she was charged for more than the posted price. Very telling...
@@mfuchs2004 Other commenters have said that this restaurant has no display for the prices. No idea if it's true, though.

My uncle had this same experience in a different country. In his case he is a 6'3 mma fighter but was still pressured into paying over $500 for a single drink. He told the guy off and walked out, cops were sitting right outside (most likely in on it). The cops asked him when confronted "did you ask how much the drink was?".

Best part is that we ordered cheese and wine. The cheese was €285 alone"

(1) Ask for a menu.
(2) Check prices before ordering.
and if they aren't willing to give the menu just say you want to order more food
Also one can look at review sites like tripadvisor and yelp like the Inside Edition team did. I rarely go to a new restaurant these days without at least checking the reviews and info on google first. Heck I work at a restaurant and I'm astounded by the amount of people (of all ages not just older people) who don't use this tool before wandering into the restaurant or calling. They even ask me things like "do you know another restaurant that does/serves (this thing I'm looking for)?" "Do you know the number/address to (other place)?" as if one person would have the same level of knowledge of local businesses that Google or even the phone book/city directory has

Dk oyster doesn’t give out menus read the reviews they’re horrible 😳 definitely a scam
@@everythingisfine9988 ok? There’ll still be bad reviews left by real people if the restaurant is bad.
DK Oyster is the name of the restaurant if anyone's wondering. Trip advisor actually stopped any new reviews from being posted on their site (no doubt because this video blew up) and people were just trying to call them out/spread the word. But still though, if you give em a quick Google search, you can see the previous negative reviews from people who actually dined at the restaurant. Also they have a two star rating, which cracks me the hell up. I'm sorry, but jerks like that deserve to go out of business.
I'm not sure if it's true, but a previous comment from someone in Greece stated that this restaurant changes their name every few years.
$640 would buy a lot of stuff with that including a lot of groceries. Action must be taken to ensure that this does not happen again!

This is what you get if you go to Mykonos. As a Greek, I would advise anyone to go on much better, more beautiful and underrated islands that have authentic tavernas, at very decent prices.
Which islands?
Also Mykonos is a gay island, Santorini is more famous and not gay. My father was ambassador to Greece for 4 years and we never been to Mykonos on our holidays.
Ithaca,Zakynthos,lefkada,Kefalonia,Spetses,Kythnos,kea,Amorgos,skyros,Skopelos,paros,naxos,tinos,skiathos,kerkyra, and much more islands
@@TheHungryPigeon I'm not Greek, American actually, but I had a great time on Santorini. It's beautiful, great restaurants at reasonable prices, there's actually a lot of interesting historical sites to visit, and you can rent quads to travel around the island. 1 quad was €35 for 24 hours. It was an amazing experience from start to finish!
I went to Naxos. It was very nice.
Sadly this practice has happened for decades and always to tourists in all countries. Never buy or eat anywhere with no prices, they will look and judge you to see how much to charge
Facts. This is common knowledge in UK since its easier for us to visit these southern European countries. The main tip is avoid any place which doesn't advertise prices. And ask before you order.
I remember when Gigi Hadid said she would never go back to Mykonos and not to let Instagram fool you after getting robbed.
At least give the name so other tourist don't get scammed
No customer on this planet should ever order food from a restaurant that does not advertise the specific prices for meals…. The fact that the report said , she was ‘surprised’ to see the bill amount , throws me for a loop lol
right, and it said she gave a €78 tip too, why would she give a big tip like that if she was already surprised at the bill amount...

yeah because its overpriced
Attempt to scam is not a matter of pricing

Tourists visiting and enjoying your beautiful country and bringing economic flow to your hometown while appreciating the beautiful scenes that you take for granted every day, only to be a POS and rip them off for some regular seafood is so, so, so damaging to not only your restaurant, but also your town's reputation, and that's not even factoring in how trashy that behavior is to begin with.

@@EdgyDabs47 they can just NOT scam? lol it doesn’t make it better just bc others do it too🙄 also this is like crazyyy taxing not just some little upcharge
I’m confused with this story. Did they tell her the price of the menu before she ordered. Or did they just change the price up on them after the order their items
Also they leave it opened ended. Did she pay it? Did they cops show up?
They probs had the item listed as market price
Tourist menu's won't have prices or if they do, they'll be dble the local or like the other commenter says "market prices". Tourist menu's will differ from local menus too. They also won't want you to read a menu and just order whatever the waiter encourages you to buy. Like if you ask for a menu, the waiter will ask what you feel like eating and the chef can make something just for you or anything to get you to not read a menu. Lol.
Easy tip - if a restaurant in Europe does not display a menu with prices at the venue entrance and you don't speak the local language, they're gonna scam ya. move to the next restaurant. ;-)
In another interview they were offered chairs on the beach/near the beach for free and then staff kept bugging them to order something so they looked at the menu ordered small things and when they got their they got their check it was just a receipt that said they owed $600 or whatever they were charged.

Few year ago, I went on a date on Ocean Drive in South Beach Miami. When we got the menu I noticed that prices weren't listed. I told my date that as a principle, I always ask for prices when they aren't listed, due to a very bad and costly previous experience, she replied "as everybody should". I asked for the price of a cocktail that sounded and looked like it was out of this world, $60+ the waiter said... before I could even offer my date to leave she whispered "Let's go, I know a better place...". The rest is history!

One time an old coworker of mine who was in his 60s when he told me the story at the time he was 30s told me he took his wife to Greece because they had family out there. He was charged five US dollars for two subs loaded with stuff, he thought it was reasonable because that’s about the same price in America. When he told his father-in-law how much he paid his father-in-law was furious and took him back to the same vendor and got back three of those dollars. But this story tops that by far 💯
better than paying $600
I wonder what it feels like to be so rich you don’t even look at the prices before you buy things. I wouldn’t know...
$60...u exposed red lobster as ripping u off too
@@agent1up I was expecting around 15 USD
I always ask the price beforehand. I’ve heard of this happening in Italy.
Lol using Red Lobster to compare... "Balenciaga tried to charge me 800 dollars for some white sneakers.. When I went to Walmart for white sneakers.. Only 20 dollars"
Disneyland charge 15 dollar for a hotdogs. when I go to Costco, only $$1.50
