The first time I went, I sat at an open table, and a real nice group of guys sat down with me and we had a great time. Last year I sat with a specific group (and they tried to lead me astray), but I am happy to say, I will be giving the same group another shot. The dress ranges from jeans to a Tuxedo. The attitude is what you would expect, friendly and casual. Food is good, company incomparable, and the more folks you know the more interesting the award-but you should be OK there.
