Most anything, home made, not from a box or frozen, just do a good job. People are not used to well prepared home cooked food.
However, these always work well:
Sous vide salmon, pan seared, with asparagus and hollandaise.
Beef Bourguignon.
Shrimp Étouffée.
Pan seared, oven finished steak or loin of some sort. Pork loin works well. Home made skin-on mashed potato and pan roasted bacon parmesan brussels sprouts.
All of these are relatively easy to make, and if done well, go over fantastic.
Want to really wow them? Bake a cheesecake for dessert, especially with a fruit topping.
