Up On the Roof is a premiere Jamaican restaurant in the new area that provides for fun, good music and a liming spot. Up On the Roof with restaurateurs, Johanna and Susan have begun the perfect setting that lends itself to just these very things. The restaurant has a well compiled and an excellent Jamaican food recipe, this is complemented by an elegant table setting which is surrounded by an international cache of art, while the hard rooftop is softened by tropical palms and vibrant fabrics and makes this restaurant the most heartwarming on the new hips strip of the Knut ford Blvd.  Restaurateur Johanna Thwaites has designed the menu for up on the roof as a mix of local Jamaican recipe favorites, with a different preparation technique and presentational style from the normal methods used by other restaurants.

The restaurateur opened her first restaurant, on Waterloo Road, then on July 5 1981, opened The Orchid restaurant, in the garden of a Great House on Waterloo. That was unfortunately burnt down, and the restaurateur converted an old JOS bus to be the Incredible Edible restaurant on Knutsford Boulevard. International Yard restaurant was in a cottage of that same Great House property on Waterloo until the building was destroyed by Hurricane Gilbert in 19888. The chef and restaurateur left the Jamaican cooking business and pursued a career in furniture making.

Then she opened this restaurant in May 2003, and this excellent restaurant is much different from all the others. The location of the Up on the Roof restaurant is described as serendipity. Nestled directly above the Club Epiphany on the New Knutsford Boulevard, the venue was actually designed to be a canteen on the roof that would be used to sell jerk chicken recipes and jerk fish recipes. The restaurateur contacted the owner immediately before this happened and purchased the property to start her dream restaurant. The name for the restaurant was borne from the famous ballad from the sixties which smacked up on the Roof.

The restaurant is open for business Mondays to Fridays from noon to midnight and on Saturdays until the last guest leaves. Regular patrons, both locals and visitors to expect something new and very exciting to the restaurant menu.

The locals from the capital of Jamaica however remain such as the chicken, shrimp or Bahamian conch in coconut curried sauce, and the Boston double pork chop with sweet potatoes and pineapple.
