SEARSPORT, Maine — Inside the new Homeport Tavern last week, it was a blur of activity as the owners got ready for opening night on Friday, June 17. With vendors dropping by and a dining room still under renovation, there was a lot to do. But the baby grand piano was already in place and a pot of gumbo was simmering on the stove — which both seemed to fit with the focus on hospitality and good food that owners Arnaud Lessard, Allison Lessard and Kip Dixon have in mind for the restaurant. Arnaud Lessard, Allison Lessard and Kip Dixon are the owners of The Homeport Tavern, which is part of the Homeport Inn on East Main Street in Searsport. They are preparing for a soft opening that they hope will be later this month.
