The owner of Hi Felicia, a popular Oakland fine-dining restaurant, is devastated after a violent break-in.
In a post on Instagram, chef and owner Imana said that on Tuesday night, thieves shattered a glass door, broke a cash register and threw an upstairs safe downstairs.
She said the restaurant is a mess and it will take a long time to clean up. So, she’s decided to close the restaurant for good.
Hi Felicia opened last year after starting as a Supper Club run out of an apartment.

Imana said that while the doors to Hi Felicia have closed, she's already planning her next project.
She eventually hopes to open a wine bar at the same location.
