Hotel Rooftop Restaurant

Stellar Jay

Stellar Jay earns a place in RVFTO because it combines a real rooftop perch with food and cocktail quality that actually carries the night. The setting above the Populus gives it a sharper, more design-forward feel than a generic hotel bar, and the Capitol-facing views are legit.

Why it belongs in RVFTŌ

Great cocktails, strong food, and one of the more compelling new rooftop views near the Capitol.

Strong at sunset and into cooler evenings when the view and polished room can carry the plan.

This belongs in the app. It is one of the stronger polished rooftop additions and feels more complete than a drinks-only perch.
