I know exactly what you mean though with how your family interacts as mine is very similar and it can throw people off that didn't grow up like we did.

Are there any other situations where you can bring them all together other than dinners? I had a girlfriend that wasn't a fan of anyone in my family at first except for one of my brothers. The only way she was able to get to know and like them all was when I would do stuff with my family members apart from the rest. I would take my nieces and nephews skating or skiing and bring her along and the grown ups would just hang out. I found doing that got her closer with everyone and by doing that the bigger gatherings were better because she'd be able to mingle better hold meaningful conversations.

She's probably always going to be offended by comments that your dad says. Not much you can really do about that but hope she gets used to it because your dad isn't going to change, lol. Again, my father is very much the same way and if you find a way for her to get over those comments let me know.
