This book is so much more than your ordinary cookbook! Port Edward Restaurant is the focus of this very interesting and fully illustrated history of how Port Edward evolved from a bar called The Anchor Lounge to a four star restaurant that attacts patrons from all over the world.

Chapter 1 is Humble Beginnings. Ed explains how he got into the restaurant business from being a professional musician and teacher. In 1964 the Anchor Inn became Port Edward and will celebrate it's 44th anniversary this year.

The unique features include a lifesize windmill to dine in and enjoy the cozy ambiance. The Porpoise, a 25 ft. sailboat built in 1934 by naval architect John Deering now sits in the restaurant's indoor harbour for cozy and romantic dinners with seating for up to four comfortably. The salem lounge  has floor to ceiling glass windows with a panoramic view of the Fox River. Also within the restaurant you will find The Waterfront Lobby, The Sea Shanty that over looks the Porpoise, surrounded by authentic whaling harpoons and soft warm light cascading down from weathered lobster cage fixtures. Then there is The Navigator's  Room, which is the original 50' x 70' part of the building filled with nautical treasures from all over the world! Also, while you are visiting Port Edward, you will want to take in the one of a kind gift shop with more items like we feature here on our E-bay store.
