I've been to Shallots. It's pretty good, even if you don't keep Kosher. The service wasn't perfect, but close enough, really... and I was there not long after they opened, so it may have improved. Price not unreasonable, for Kosher fine dining... just a tiny bit high for everyone else. Customers are a little dressy, but not everyone... there's no dress code. No, sorry, there's no Kosher restaurant in the Hyatt... that restaurant (Masada, I think it was) closed years ago! They do have a Kosher catering kitchen... and *may* be able to supply a Kosher meal to a guest... but no restaurant. My opinion, of course.
