Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant and Pub, an iconic eatery in Longboat Key, debuted its new dock Friday.

Restaurant Owner Ed Chiles, Longboat Key Mayor Jim Brown, representatives from the Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island and Manatee Chambers of Commerce, as well as other community members, were scheduled to gather a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Crews worked on the dock for eight weeks. The original dock was built in 1912 and survived a devastating hurricane.

The restaurant is one of the oldest structures on Longboat Key.
