+1 — These all sound heavy and unappealing for a summer dinner party.  Also, a bit old-fashioned — like “Continental Cuisine”.  Maybe you’re going for a retro feel?[/quote]
That's exactly what I thought when I saw this list.  These dishes are all so winter-y!

How about instead of:

Prime Rib + Truffled Mashed Potatoes - Grilled rib-eyes (or lamb chops) with chimichurri + greek lemon potatoes

Pomegranate Short Ribs with Marscapone Polenta - Braised lamb shanks with eggplant or greenbeans

Crab Legs and Tarragon Butter and Garlic Broccolini - Whole grilled or roast fish + broccolini

Traditional Bolognese Lasagna with Bechamel -  Pasta with lemon and crab

I also wouldn't "start" with a salad, I would serve the salad alongside the main meal.  A dinner party should feel more homey than dinner at a fusty hotel.[/quote]

All of them are recipes I have mastered that’s why they are somewhat traditional. I don’t like to make things I haven’t done before for other people! [/quote]

Way to bury the lede, OP.

I would rank 1) short ribs, 2) bolognese lasagna, 3) prime rib 4) crab legs[/quote]
