I need a company-worthy menu for people that eat exclusively keto - extreme low-carb.
I will be feeding 14 people, and 2 of them are keto - extreme low-carb - not only no grains, but no tomatoes, no carrots, no root vegetables, no peas, no winter squash, no fruit, no dairy, no beans. I do NOT want to make separate dishes for them. I had them last month and had grilled meat and roasted vegetables. I want to do something different, something more company worthy. I'm at a loss. Also no "cauliflower rice" or "cauliflower pizza crust" shall ever pass my lips. Help?

As someone said, you don't have to cook separately for them. Offer rice and/or bread to the rest of your guests. The keto folks would not want everyone else to be deprived.
Or, how about a roast chicken with sauteed kale.
You can also look up keto meal ideas online and there are many examples.
I wouldn't look at it as making separate dishes for them, but if you really want potatoes, rice, peas, etc, that you can make those for everyone else as a side dish.

1) ask these guests for suggestions, as they must deal with the cooking issue all the time.
2) make some luxurious fish - whether by species and/or by presentation (e.g. in a salt crust, grilled in one piece) - and a green vegetable or green salad.
