6pm dinner in south beach

[tracyk]

help!
i know this is obscenely early, but can you suggest any place i can make a reservation this early?
must be in south beach and should be relatively hip. taking clients.
thanks in advance!

sorry. i should have first noted that i am trying to avoid italian and steakhouses.
h2bn: it's difficult to not judge a restaurant by its website when it's all you have to go on. grazie doesn't seem like the kind of place i'm looking for.

i'm looking to impress with a hip, fun, lively atmosphere. not looking for anything overly stuffy. white tablecloth is actually a con in this situation.

thanks chowhounders!

Gotcha. But... Grazie is nowhere near stuffy---though it is not a frenetic place either. But that is all moot since you are not looking for Italian.

I know a couple of cool 20-somethings . I'll ask them. :)
