    Default there is a roof garden on the restaurant

    Is the preposition "on" correct?

    I'd probably say "at" or "on top of".

    I'd say 'The restaurant has a roof garden'.

    Thanks, Rover. I was wondering why I wasn't particularly happy with any preposition. I missed the obvious - I'd say it differently.
