I guess not, when they are open in Ann Arbor, the roof tops are packed with diners enjoying the outdoors. And you don't have to deal with people walking by on the sidewalk.

There's the Irish bar on Park Street that has a roof top to dine/drink.

Rooftop Dining is *so* 2010.
Dinner in the sky is where it's at in 2011:

From what I've seen, roof top dining is usually a measure of last resort for restaurants - it's a pain in the butt to serve on a different floor from where the kitchen is. It can certainly be fun to look out and down, but you'll generally only see such a set up where it's the only reasonable al fresco option.

The one place I used top go to in Ann Arbor had a small dumb waiter device to lift food up and down and a seperate outside bar. They were always busy enough that it was worth it. They've been in businesss for decades which isn't easy in the restaurant industry. It's a pretty cool set up.

There's a couple of bar/restaurants in the South Campus Gateway (McFadden's and Ugly Tuna Saloona) that are completely on the second floors of the South Campus Gateway so they have patios that look down to below.
There's also the upstairs patio of The Social on Park Street that looks down onto the outdoor area of Park Street Patio. It's actually a very cool space, though I don't think they serve food up there on that patio.

The Irish Bar mentioned above is Callahans on Park St.
When I live/worked in DC I worked at a place that not only has a rooftop bar/restaurant, it has a retractable glass roof so you can enjoy it 365 days a year. It was amazing (and amazingly expensive to build) and has a dumbwaiter also.
I wish we had something like that here that isnt A) on Park Street and B) a bar/club, but mainly a restaurant.

You have a lot of restaurants go in and out of biz in the SN area, spending a million or more only to out of biz months later. You have to give people something they can not get elsewhere in order to survive. This is one of the factors.
The place I went to in Ann Arbor would derive nearly 50% of it's biz from roof top operations, and the students for the most part were not in town when they were open.

Lindey's have an upstairs covered terrace area. I think it's just used for private events though.
From their website:
Exterior Terrace
Bathe your event in a fresh air breeze on the Exterior Terrace. Enjoy the bubble of the stone fountain in the courtyard below. Comfortable, overstuffed outdoor seating lends a casual elegance to your occasion. The fully covered terrace offers ample room for formal dining service, buffet-style dining, or mix and mingle cocktails and hors d’ouerves. The exterior terrace is heated and available year-round.

Antonio-
I have to say I like a portion of your ideas for the city and agree with you. Your execution of winning people over to your side is lacking and I would not recommend a side career in politics.

I'm not running for anything, and you see the mess the country is in with politicians as we know it now.
It's common sense.

It's common sense.Um. No, it's being a dick about nearly everything, no matter what your point might be.
Which is pretty much the exact opposite of common sense.
