No, you're not staring at a modern-day depiction of The Last Supper...

Rather, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Cassie, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz got together following the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards to celebrate the exciting night among friends.

E! News has learned the group of incredibly talented and famous pals got together at Pasquale Jones in New York City to enjoy some food and drinks into the wee hours of the morning.

An on-looker tells E! News Bey and Jay arrived shortly after midnight and stayed until 3:45 a.m., while Kimye showed up after them and left a little earlier, around 2:15 a.m. Diddy, Cassie, Alicia and Swizz arrived later on in the evening and left at about the same time as Beyoncé and Jay Z.

Of course, the group had a lot to celebrate following Bey's Video of the Year win (and her insane performance) as well as Kanye's "Fade" music video debut and speech.

In fact, another source tells E! News the dinner was "filled with celebration."

"They were all talking about Kanye's speech over dinner. They actually said that it was tame for Kanye," the insider added. "Kanye was in a great mood and was really happy how [things] went."

All the couples were also acting very lovey-dovey. "Kanye and Kim were very affectionate. Jay and Beyoncé were acting like a happy married couple," the source noted. "Beyoncé was smiling a lot and had a great time...Cassie and Diddy looked like they were back on track and doing well."

In fact, the night was mostly about relaxing and enjoying friends' company rather than partying. "Everyone was in a celebratory mood, but it wasn't rowdy like a club," our first source revealed. "It was very relaxed and quiet."

We're told the men chatted over drinks, and Kanye and Diddy got "animated" in their discussions. The women, on the other hand, chatted about their kids as Kim showed them photos on her phone.

Seems like the perfect, relaxing way to end one event-filled evening!
