The six-year SNL cast member and her pals enjoyed 'lots of cocktails' during the birthday celebration.
Strong and her entourage 'sat in the middle of the dining room, while Cecily moved from the bar to the dining room with a Cucumber Gimlet in hand,' the insider said.
Strong also consumed a vodka cocktail nicknamed Smoking Berries & Bubbles, and had lemon grouper for dinner, the source told the paper.
Over the course of the two-hour dinner, Strong and her pals were heard laughing, sources told the paper.
The rising star appeared on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live earlier this week, where she discussed murmurs of how Melania has received her parody.

Andy Cohen prompted her, 'You did hear through the grapevine that Melania Trump likes your impersonation of her.'
Strong said, 'I didn’t hear she likes the impersonation, that was taken out of context; I heard she likes the show and likes Alec doing Trump and likes the show. She must like my impersonation too, I guess.'
Earlier this month, Strong appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and revealed that she had a run-in with the real-life Melania when Donald Trump hosted SNL in 2015.
Strong said Melania 'pointed at [her] when she walked in,' and the now-president said, ‘She likes your impression.'
Melania 'watches the show and likes it,' Strong said she's past heard.
Stalwart: Cecily has been a mainstay on Saturday Night Live since 2012. She was snapped in LA at the Ghostbusters premiere in 2016
