Winter: Pici pasta with two sauces. Bolognese and Aglione.
Summer: Shrimp and steak tacos with pineapple salsa fresca, refried black beans and mexican rice with guacamole and chips for an appetizer.

Something on the smoker and a lot of booze so they get drunk and don't care about the food.

Grill a beef tenderloin, stuffed potatoes, asparagus and good red wine.
Just can't beat it for a group of 10.

How impressed are we talking? I think we need more info.
My first thought would be to look up the Lobster Man that has been talked about here, the prices I remember were ridiculously reasonable.
Besides that and on the higher end, Osso Bucco with grits or polenta. If you don't want to drop the dime on veal, you can spend less money and do it with pork shanks.
Braised short ribs with red wine served, again, with grits or polenta are usually a crowd pleaser.
Fish can be a safe choice, enjoy your extensive local varieties or be different. Cod is pretty inexpensive and delicious blackened. You can also spend some coin with Halibut steaks but it's expensive as hell. Staying on the different side but less money would be Dover Sole. Both of these are delicate and just need a little butter/ olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh herbs, lemon, and a quick grill/ bake.
We don't know what you're going for here. You've got to think about your audience and what they would want. I've found that people worth impressing will be happy with anything you serve as long as you spent some time and care it.
