Frommer's Review
Of the four restaurants housed in Butler's Wharf, this one is the closest to Tower Bridge. The Chop House was modeled after a large boathouse, lots of exposed wood, flowers, candles, and windows overlooking Tower Bridge and the Thames. Lunchtime crowds include workers from the city's financial district; evening crowds are made up of friends dining together leisurely. Dishes are largely adaptations of English recipes such as fish and chips with mushy peas or steak-and-kidney pudding with oysters, even roast pork loin with applesauce. The bar features several English wines, plus a half-dozen French clarets by the jug.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
