You can try it in your dining room with just incandescent lights on and see what you get.The 50mm might work if you move further back depending on how many people are there in the group. Here is a sample shot during a dinner with my wife. The restaurant was really dark.  You can say candle light but the actual scene was a lot darker. I used the RAW file to increase the brightness a bit. Higher ISO will give you a lot of noise in a dark scene. Better if you use lower shutter or use flash.1.
