A luxury restaurant in Greece has hit back after a furious British holidaymaker complained online for being charged almost £300 for four drinks. The high-end DK Oyster, on the Greek island of Mykonos, is famous for its eye-watering prices and at least one guest got caught out.
A woman named 'Ashley' took to TripAdvisor to share her horror of being charged €350 (£292.70) for four drinks, saying travellers should "save their euros". She called the prices a “joke” in the one-star review, reports the Express.
She said in the review: “Wish we looked at the reviews before! This place is a joke! 350 euros for 4 drinks!! I would definitely NOT recommend going here. Please save your euros!!"
But DK Oyster stood by its prices, replying: “Thank you for taking the time to post your review, but could you please clarify the exact reason of your disappointment? The prices you mention sound correct, so I would like to understand what the problem was. The drinks were not what you expected, the setting or the service? Your opinion is important to us. So, we would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to clarify."
Another review hit out at high prices, which resulted in a €98 charge for a plate of calamari and €58 per cocktail, DK Oyster again fired back.
It said: “Thank you for taking the time to explain the reasons of your negative review. We think that 98 euros for a dish of calamari is fair. If you were happy to pay 58 euros for a cocktail, why are you surprised by the 98 euros for such a rare and exquisitely fresh delicacy that you can find nowhere else at this quality? Nevertheless, I am truly sorry for your disappointment."
