Frommer's Review
Overlooking the town center's Circus Clock and the most charming "traffic roundabout" in the Caribbean, the Ballahoo lies in the heart of St. Kitt's capital, on the second story of an antique stone building. Open on one side to breezes and a view over the main square, and aggressively unpretentious (it evokes, in some ways, a Caribbean luncheonette), it is one of the coolest places in town on a hot afternoon, thanks to sea breezes. One of the most reliable dishes is blue parrotfish filet, but the house special is sexy, succulent conch in garlic butter. The chef also makes chili, baby back ribs, sandwiches, burgers, steaks, and breakfast omelets. Seafood platters, such as chile shrimp or fresh lobster, are served with coconut salad and rice. For more elegant fare, there's Italian-style chicken breast topped with pesto, tomatoes, and cheese and served with pasta and salad, or the salade niçoise (anchovies, eggs, and potatoes topped with fresh fish). The service is casual. Because of its central location and general appeal, this restaurant also draws the cruise ship crowd.
