The restaurant stayed open after the incident, but the bar was off limits. The restaurant plans to open as usual on Saturday.
"We see the wall in front of our eyes crash down, and we're on the lower level so it looks like its crashing down on people sitting in booth up above, so it was a little terrifying," a witness said.
The manager told Channel 9 that two bartenders and a customer were at the bar when the fixture collapsed.
The customer suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital.
Family said the person will be OK.
