An American soldier and his friends were left aghast after being presented with a staggering $935 check for a modest lunch of calamari, salads and beers in Greece.
Cisco Rock, from Brooklyn, revealed on TripAdvisor how staff at the DK Oyster restaurant in Mykonos refused to give their party a menu or show them prices, before surprising them with the final tab.
A member of New York's 69th Infantry Regiment, Rock said he couldn't believe his eyes when he realized they'd been charged $661.41 (€591) for six plates of calamari and $167.87 (€150) for six beers - an eye-watering $27.97 per drink.
Cisco and his friends were also charged $66.46 (€59,40) for three caesar salads with chicken, $20.14 (€17.80) for two bottles of water and an additional $20.18 ($18) for a single glass of tomato juice.

He said was appalled when he was handed this check for a modest lunch of calamari and beers at the DK Oyster restaurant in Mykonos
Described as a 'modern day saga of hedonism and indulgence' with 'unsurpassed views' on its website, Cisco has warned other tourists to keep their distance from DK Oysters.
'Avoid this place, this place is a trap,' Rock said, posting an image of the check to TripAdvisor.
'They charged us 830 euros for calamari, 6 beers and 3 salads. The staff is not honest and refuse to provide a menu and prices.
'Avoid this place at all costs! No pun intended.'

The restaurant, located on the south of the island near Platis Gialos Beach, is generally well-reviewed, and holds an overall four-star rating.
But across the last few weeks, the restaurant has received a slew of scathing reviews from a growing list of angry customers, who, similarly to Cisco, warn of the establishment's extreme price-points and unfriendly serving staff.
'Simply a disgrace,' wrote one UK tourist, JackLK. 'We paid 38 euros for a Prosecco and Gin. Don’t go there. All locals knew what they did and it gives resort a bad name.... I went back to check as thought it was mistake. The manager ‘John’ just showed me price list. My fault really but truly an attitude that suggests they are better than they are.
'The daily ‘hello how are you’ from your staff are unfortunately as insincere as your business...Locals please get it closed down. It’s not good for your businesses when you're all so great.'

But in response to JackLK's review, DK said claimed their restaurant was being unfairly defamed.
'Since you admit that the prices were indeed those stated in the menu, I feel that some competitors have tried and succeeded in the defamation of our restaurant,' a DK representative wrote.
'We have already contacted the authorities against certain people spreading rumors against us. Because, you see, you are not the only one who returned this way. A couple came to our restaurant, left a huge tip and next morning the came (just like you), because a lady told them that we are overcharging.
'If anyone reads carefully your review, it is evident that there is something really disgraceful. But it is not us. I am certain that if you think about it more carefully you might realize that too.'
Despite the restaurant's protests, countless other customers have taken to the travel review site to upload pictures of their hefty checks, insisting that something just doesn't add up.

Other customers shared photos of their drinks bills, where diners were charged $16 for soft drinks and $28 for a single beer (seen right)
Some have even insisted they were forced to order more expensive items to drum up the cost of their pre-fixe meal.
'14.80 euros for 2 course meal with glass of wine plus sun beds the following day sounds great,' wrote Brit Elizabeth S.
'However the cocktails cost 17 euros each and the staff were more than reluctant to give us anything other than the A La Carte menu. At every opportunity they kept pushing items from the more expensive option. Bread 8 euros Water 8 euros, what a scam!'
Another patron's check shows the customer was charged $16 for a single Sprite, while another was hit by a $365 charge for a single dish - a Tomahawk USA steak.
Others complained that they were not even given checks by the restaurant, while some even went as far to say that the staff had been rude and abusive.
